Kalina Jędrusik-Dygat (born 5 February 1930 in Gnaszyn[1][2], died 7 August 1991 in Warsaw) – Polish theatre and film actress, singer and cabaret artist. Kalina Jędrusik was born in 1930 (some sources give 1931, which according to her half-brother Maciej Jędrusik is incorrect[1]) in Gnaszyn (since 1977 a district of Częstochowa). In 1949 she graduated from the Juliusz Słowacki 1st General Secondary School in Częstochowa[4], then in 1953 from the State Higher School of Acting in Kraków, and in the same year made her stage debut at the Teatr Wybrzeże in Gdańsk. From January 1955 she performed in Warsaw theatres: the Teatr Narodowy (1955–1957), Teatr Współczesny (1957–1963), Teatr Komedia (1964–1967), Studencki Teatr Satyryków (1969–1972), Teatr Rozmaitości (1972–1985) and Teatr Polski (1985–1991). She played dramatic and character roles. Kalina Jędrusik gained enormous popularity from her appearances in the television programmes of the Kabaret Starszych Panów and from film roles, among others as Joanna in Lekarstwo na miłość, directed by Jan Batory.

In the 1960s and 1970s she was regarded as a sex symbol. In 1976 she performed for the Polish diaspora in the USA in duets with Violetta Villas, mainly in the United States.

In a poll for the best actress in the history of Polish film, organised in 1996 by the magazine “Film” on the 100th anniversary of cinema, she took third place.

On 7 August 2015 at 5 pm, in the Chapel of St Francis of the Church of St Stanislaus Kostka at ul. Hozjusza 2 in Warsaw's Żoliborz, on the 24th anniversary of the death of Kalina Jędrusik, a special Mass will be held for Kalina Jędrusik and her husband Stanisław Dygat, outstanding figures of Polish culture and friends of people and animals.

The Mass will be led by Father Wojciech Drozdowicz. You are warmly invited. We ask for your presence, prayer and remembrance.

After the Mass, at Kalinowe Serce, ul. Krasińskiego 25, at 7 pm there will be a screening of the film "Kalina" by Jan Sosiński and Zbigniew Dzięgiel. Free admission.

You are warmly invited, and we ask you to share this information!
