Biography

Fischerová was born in Prague. [3] Her father, actor and theatre director Jan Fischer (or Fišer), was imprisoned in Theresienstadt and Auschwitz concentration camps during World War II. [3] [4]

She studied at the Janáček Academy of Music and Performing Arts in Brno, [1] [3] [5] however, she did not finish her studies. [3] In the late 1960s, she worked with Prague's Drama Club. [3] She was sacked from the theatre during the period of normalization (in 1973). [6] She then worked with the Jiří Wolker Theatre for four years. [3] However, after her son Kryštof, whose father is the composer Petr Skoumal, was born with cerebral palsy, she left the theatre. [3] [7] In the 1980s, she worked as a freelance actress. [6] During her acting career, she collaborated with significant personalities of Czech cinema, such as Jan Kačer, [1] [3] Evald Schorm, [1] [3] Antonín Máša, Jaromil Jireš, and Karel Kachyňa. [8]

In 1989, she signed the petition "Několik vět" (A Few Sentences) prepared by the informal civic initiative Charter 77. [6] At that time, she began participating in civic activities. [6]

In 2002, Fischerová was elected to a seat in the Parliament of the Czech Republic as an independent candidate running on the slate of the Unie svobody-DEU (Freedom Union – Democratic Union). [1] She served until 2006. [1] [3] However, she did not succeed in the next election, this time to the Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic. [3] [9]

Fischerová was one of the three female candidates in the 2013 Czech presidential election, [1] [10] along with Zuzana Roithová and Jana Bobošíková. She was supported by the Green Party.
