It took me a second to realize it was from set. I was wondering when Goran stole Wyle's hat.

She was tortured by Gestapo agents and suffered broken feet. On the day of her scheduled execution she was rescued by "Zegota," the underground
network with which she worked to save the Jewish children.
If that's not a cue for GV to carry her off into the sunset, I don't know Hallmark. |

I hope he gets to do more than just be her concubine. |

Actually, his role is Stefan, a Jewish resistance fighter she did eventually marry.

Here is the excerpt on Stefan from her obituary.
She married Mieczyslaw Sendler but they divorced after the war's end. Sendler then married fellow underground activist Stefan Zgrzembski, and they had two sons and a daughter. One died a few days after birth. The second son, Adam, died of a heart failure in 1999. And a short comment from their daughter Janka, there is more on Stefan in an article with the daughter and the full obituary, both of which are posted in the BP2 Newsroom: She was 29, beautiful, with a 'fantastic will for life'. Her daughter Janka, 61, who lives in Warsaw, told me, 'My father [Stefan Zgrzembski] met Mum before the war. I don't know exactly what it was about her that fascinated him but somehow their love affair continued even though she married someone else.'

Actually, his role is Stephan, a Jewish resistance fighter she did eventually marry. But... resistance fighter. Action role, not doormat, not passive love interest. Big improvement hopefully. |

In the article with her daughter, she talks more of Stefan, the difficulties Irena had after the war, and those between the couple...here is a section from the
article at BP2.
She escaped on the morning of her scheduled execution with the connivance of her guard, who had been bribed by the resistance. For the rest of the war, she lived as her rescued children lived - in hiding, under an assumed name. Irena with Janka in 1949 This is the point, as peace arrives, where the film will doubtless cut away, slicing to the arrival of the American students five decades later. She would probably approve, preferring to draw a veil over the intervening years. According to Michal Glowinski, 'She had a tough life in her relationships. In the Polish biography about her, none of this is mentioned because Irena did not want it to be. The truth is, Irena, whose special skills saved lives, was not very good at making life happier for herself.' Her daughter, Janka, filled me in. 'The family legend has it that my mum went to a fortune teller who told her she would be married three times but only have two husbands, and that's exactly what happened.' Irena divorced Sendler and in 1947 married Stefan (by whom she had three children, Janka, Andrzej, who died in infancy, and Adam, who died of heart failure in adulthood). Twelve years later, though, she divorced Stefan and remarried Sendler. That rematch also failed. Janka said this marital turmoil left emotional 'wounds' and 'melancholy'. 'A big problem with my dad was that he didn't want her to work, and my mum was working 36 hours a day,' Janka joked. 'When I think of my childhood, I remember our housekeeper. Both my brother and I were hurt that [our mother's] passion was saving the world, not us. But my brother never got over this, while I decided there was no purpose in scratching old scabs.' Curiously, Irena smothered the two orphaned Jewish teenagers she took in after the war. 'One stayed only a short time with us because she found my mother's excessive care irritating. She said, "I had a mother, and no surrogate is going to foster me.''' Were Irena's emotions warped by the war? Anna Mieszkowska is the author of her Polish biography. 'Irena told me not to put this story in the book. 'She was asked to save two children, a boy and a girl. The parents wanted them to go but the grandparents did not. Irena arrived at their address and found the whole family had committed suicide - grandparents, parents, children. She had nightmares about this for many years.' And Janka told me, 'My mother never bought anything. She thought possessions were pointless because they would be destroyed if war came again, so it was my dad who had to buy books for us to read, plates for the kitchen. 'I always warned Mum when a storm was forecast, because the thunder would upset her. The same with fireworks. It reminded her of shooting. 'She couldn't sleep alone. She had to know someone was in her apartment. She was useless at everyday, normal things. In later years, I took this on. I took care of the "saint".' With age, Irena's tiny frame seemed to collapse, eroded by osteoporosis. Her eyesight failing and unable to read newspapers, she somehow kept abreast of political developments. She once fired off a letter to the American students in which she called George W Bush 'a bastard'. Her translator was rather shocked that an elderly saint knew such language. She was visited regularly not only by Janka but also by Elzbieta, whom she regarded as an honorary daughter (though the two 'daughters' had a prickly relationship). Irena was ambiguous towards her belated lionisation. She craved acknowledgement for her resistance colleagues who were forgotten by history. She gleefully told friends she was treated 'like the Queen of England' when she returned from a trip to be honoured in Israel. But she was only too aware that we prefer to view the Holocaust through the prism of stories such as hers with the satisfactory conclusion of rescue and hope. Yet there were no clear-cut happy endings to Irena's story, nor to the rescued children's. Michal Glowinski told me: 'You can survive the Shoah but you cannot escape its effects.'

Damnit, Goran...I told you to lay off the hair gel. I so prefer your downy tufts falling angelically over your eyes. Now, if you'd come over here I can
just wash it out for you...

Hey, watch your step. You're infringing on Cranky's territory.
I didn't really take to him when he was first on the show because of all that dripping hair gel, but this isn't nearly as bad. |

Thanks to Hallmark Hall of Fame, we just added some wonderful interviews from the cast and crew of "The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler," to the
BP2 Newsroom.
Here's what writer/director John Kent Harrison had to say about Goran. Thank goodness he's such a pro, because he brought magical timing to every scene he's in. He was perfectly cast, I think, as this tower-of-strength anchor character in our story. You'll also find some other surprises from Hallmark that should make you very happy...enjoy.

Thanks, nice interviews. The pictures of Anna Paquin as Sendler really look like this picture of Irena Sendler from her book cover.

I've always been impressed with Goran's timing, too. Among other things.
