A successful screenwriter, writer, but also a stand-up comedian. She was the partner of Karel Gott († 80) and her husband was Oscar-winning director Miloš Forman († 86), with whom she has 24-year-old twins Jim and Andy.
Sympathetic Martina Formanová (57) was a guest of Bublina’s video podcast and revealed why writing a book served her as therapy after the death of her husband, and why she felt panicky and wanted to do people’s laundry at a time when everyone was rejoicing in new possibilities after the revolution.

How she met Miloš Forman
Martina Zbořilová was born in Brno and the world of art attracted her. Among other things, because it seemed to her that she wouldn’t have to get up early as an artist. She eventually entered the world of show business and art, studied screenwriting at FAMU, danced in Jiří Korn’s company and dated Karl Gott.
But how did she get to the United States and meet Miloš Forman? Her answer surprised him, because he was interested much earlier! “I first met Miloš at a meeting for screenwriting students here at FAMU. And even then I thought he was looking after me, but I wasn’t sure…”
She went to America after the revolution with the plan to learn English properly and finish her diploma thesis. And she wanted a Forman quote to go with it. She eventually won his love.

Books as therapy
He already has eight books to his credit, the last Nalakuj to pink was created after the death of a beloved man, and writing it was therapy for Martina: “Putting feelings into sentences so that it wasn’t gibberish, but made sense, going back to the times when we experienced beautiful things helped me. And it changed my perspective. It’s not just the sad ending, but it’s been 24 years that we’ve had together that have been wonderful.”
Fighting skin cancer
She always stood firmly by her husband’s side, she was his support when he couldn’t handle his smartphone or he couldn’t find a sports TV channel, she lovingly took care of him in the last years of his life, when his health no longer served him as he would have liked.
But she also experienced fear for her life. Was she diagnosed with skin cancer? “I’m a little embarrassed to talk about myself as someone who has had skin cancer. I was very lucky and we caught the sign in the first stage. But it was a big warning and realization that the skin is the body’s largest organ. My sister helped me a lot, I have a really great background in her.”
And they have such a close relationship with their sister that they call each other several times a day! Sometimes just to tell themselves that they can’t talk right now and will call in a while…
