Joanna Szczepkowska (Polish pronunciation: [jɔˈanna ʂt͡ʂɛpˈkɔfska]; born 1 May 1953) is a Polish film and theatre actress and writer. She appeared in more than thirty films since 1975.
She made her debut on television in 1975 by appearing in episode 1 of the cult 1970s TV series Czterdziestolatek (The Forty-Year-Old). The same year, she graduated from the National Academy of Dramatic Art in Warsaw. She worked as a theatre actress for such institutions as Teatr Współczesny in Warsaw (1975–1981), the Polish Theatre (1981–1988), Teatr Powszechny (1988–1992, 2000–2004) and Teatr Dramatyczny (2006–2010).[1]
On 28 October 1989, during a live interview on the main state-run evening news programme Dziennik Telewizyjny (Television Journal), she made a historic statement in which she publicly announced the end of communism in Poland:
Proszę Państwa, 4 czerwca 1989 roku skończył się w Polsce komunizm. (Ladies and gentlemen, on the 4th of June, communism ended in Poland.)
This statement went down in history as a symbol of the political changes which took place in the country after the 1989 Polish legislative election, the first partially free elections in Poland after the World War II.[5]
