It’s a duck a little nervous about it. “I don’t know anything about the funeral, I’m still waiting for the phone, but no one answers, I’m weird,” confided Aha! Duck, saying that he was, of course, ready to have a mourning speech, said a few kind words about his greatest friend. And in his mind he is already preparing the words without realizing it.
For better or worse
“Joseph was not just a friend, he was a brother. We made our way together in good and bad for fifty long years, “commented Kačer, who Abrham he befriended “for life and death” at the Drama Club. There they became blood brothers, joined vessels. Kačer still remembers how Abrham refused to be engaged in the National Theater and the Vinohrady Theater because of the Drama Club and went with Kačer to a risky business called Činoherák. At that time, Abrham came up with the idea that the theater would be played like jazz, which could not do without improvisation and interaction with a teammate. “It simply came to our notice then. We started to make friends outside the theater and the club, our families also got to know each other, “says Kačer.

Like siblings
The brotherhood of the two actors became even stronger when Kačer was fired from Činoherák. Abrham did not leave him. On the contrary. “My brother died and Josef was really like a brother to me. He followed me when I was in the worst. And of course I did the same. A piece of me also left with him … “Kačer recalls.
Their wives suddenly left
Their wives, actresses Libuše Šafránková († 68) and Nina Divíšková († 84), were also friends. Both couples spent several beautiful years in their relationships. Recently, however, both men have had to deal with their wives’ health problems. While Šafránková suffered from lung cancer in 2014 and fought with fragile health until her death, Nina Divíšková suffered from Alzheimer’s disease for several years. Both Abrham and Duck were great supporters of their wives, and they were their support. In the end, both men lost their loved ones in a time horizon of only twelve days. The exact cause of Šafránková’s death remains, at least for the public, a mystery. And so did the sudden death of Divíšková.
