Jirí Menzel, a talented and accomplished individual, entered this world on February 23, 1938, in the vibrant city of Prague, which was then a part of Czechoslovakia, a country that would later divide into two separate nations, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
As an actor and director, Menzel left an indelible mark on the world of cinema, with some of his most notable works including the critically acclaimed "Closely Watched Trains" released in 1966, "I Served the King of England" which premiered in 2006, and the thought-provoking "Larks on a String" released in 1969.
In his personal life, Menzel was married to the loving and supportive Olga Menzelová-Kelymanová, who stood by his side throughout his journey.
Sadly, Jirí Menzel's time on this earth came to an end on September 5, 2020, in the city of Prague, which had been his home for so many years, leaving behind a legacy that will continue to inspire and influence generations to come.
