The star of "Irony of fate" admitted to "Russians" that there is no cure for her illness

The star of Eldar Ryazanov's film "The Irony of Fate, or with a Light Steam!" (1975), Polish actress Barbara Brylska admitted that she is in constant pain and practically does not leave her apartment. This is reported by the portal "Paragraph".

"I forget a lot, more and more. The disease twists the fingers. Each finger in the other direction. And it hurts, and nothing can be done about it. It's useless to be treated, it won't help," the star stated.

She explained that it's just age, as doctors say — a disease of natural causes, there is no cure for it — only vitamins and drugs, for example, for pressure.

"Everything hurts me. What can I want? Peace and health," Brylska stressed.

The actress added that she lives independently, but practically does not leave her city apartment, her son's family lives separately, and most of her friends have gone to another world.

"Many, many of my friends have already left, died. Only the son and grandchildren remained. I don't need anything anymore. The only cure is death. So I live as best I can. I don't want an assistant. I live alone. My son lives separately, with his family, and for now I do everything myself. He, however, makes purchases for me — so that I don't carry heavy things. And the rest is all by myself. I have a cat at home. Her name is Baby. She came to me a few years ago at the dacha. She gave birth to little kittens there in the barn… She came with me to Warsaw and still lives with me," the actress said.
