Gabriela Wilhelm's secret: In her marriage to Frej, plates flew, she miscarried twice<

Gabriela Wilhelmová had a long time in her acting career, and the love affair had gone a bit to the side. However, this changed together with the acquaintance with the one-year-old actor Ladislav Frej, who had already had one failed marriage. She fell in love with him and Frej returned her love. After a few months of dating, the wedding was over.

But as it soon turned out, everyone imagined living together a little differently and the relationship didn't work very well for them. At home they had "Italy", often arguing and flying saucers. During their marriage, they had to overcome very painful events. They were expecting a baby twice, but not once did it work. Gabriela always miscarried. That, too, was the reason they divorced. Paradoxically, it wasn't until they were no longer a couple that they became very good friends. They married like a brother and a sister.

Wilhelm's second marriage was already loving

Gabriela Wilhelmová's second husband was director Rudolf Růžička, with whom she had a loving, harmonious relationship until the end of her life. At a later age, she acquired a corpulent figure, which was mainly due to her great culinary passion. According to colleagues and memories of actor Jan Skopeček, she loved to cook and feast very well and excellently.

In 1996, however, she contracted cancer. She endured her health problems very bravely, tried to fight, did not give up and maintained a positive attitude. Unfortunately, the insidious disease was beyond her power. She died on October 14, 2002, seven months after her sixties.

She came from a wealthy family, they had maids at home

The actress, famous for her immediacy, spontaneity and unmistakable laughter, was born into a wealthy family. Her father owned a factory and as a child she had everything she could point to. They had maids at home and lived with their siblings, older sister Josefa, younger Miluška and brother Karel, like they were in cotton wool. When she expressed a desire to become an actress, her parents supported her to the maximum.

She graduated from the JAMU in Brno and after graduation she worked on regional stages in Ostrava, Pardubice, Uherské Hradiště and in the Brno Theater on a String. Eventually she got to Prague, where she performed in the Drama Club, Reduta and Viola.
