A Special Farewell to Bożena Dykiel

In a segment prepared for the “Uwaga!” program, Guzik was visibly emotional. With tears in her eyes, she recalled her late colleague, emphasizing how important Dykiel was to her both professionally and personally.
This is too fresh a story to talk about. She was very close to me, despite the fact that we only met on set, but you still spend a lot of time there. I will miss her
— the actress said, overcome with emotion.
Dykiel always inquired about the personal lives of her colleagues.
Bożena loved to cook so much. She would always talk about what she was cooking during breaks between takes. (…) That love conveyed through good food was one of the key elements. She cared a lot about her loved ones. She always asked about the girls, about her husband, I always had to update photos of the girls. Family was her whole world. She was a lioness who protected her privacy, defended her family and cared for them
she added.
