10:00:02:20 10:00:05:18 02:23

They're thin, beautiful, graceful.

10:00:06:03 10:00:11:00 04:22

Their purpose is to give life to designs,

to emphasize the designer's creativity,

10:00:11:04 10:00:16:09 05:05

to draw attention to a magazine or product

using a look or their seductive curves.

10:00:16:23 10:00:21:00 04:02

Models. We see many of them

every day, thousands a year,

10:00:21:04 10:00:23:19 02:15

but how many do we know by name?

10:00:39:21 10:00:42:11 02:15

People know who Adriana Sklenaøíkova is.

10:00:42:15 10:00:44:12 01:22

This is her story.

10:01:15:01 10:01:17:11 02:10

It starts here in the Slovak countryside.

10:01:31:19 10:01:33:15 01:21

It was 1971,

10:01:34:09 10:01:38:02 03:18

the Soviet army had been occupying

Czechoslovakia for three years.

10:01:38:11 10:01:40:15 02:04

The communist regime reinforced its power.

10:01:40:19 10:01:44:14 03:20

Normal people could only dream

about traveling to the West.

10:01:44:18 10:01:47:24 03:06

Children's games luckily

weren't effected by all of this.

10:01:51:05 10:01:56:07 05:02

After birth,

Adinka lived with my parents for 6 years

10:01:56:21 10:02:03:15 06:19

because I studied. From the 1st grade

she lived with us in Bystrice.

10:02:04:12 10:02:06:20 02:08

This was her kingdom.

10:02:07:13 10:02:14:03 06:15

Before she left for school in Prague,

10:02:15:10 10:02:19:01 03:16

she came here for weekends and holidays.

10:02:19:06 10:02:22:15 03:09

I planted this spruce when she was born.

10:02:24:05 10:02:28:11 04:06

Tell me which has grown more beautiful?

10:02:30:08 10:02:32:03 01:20

Both of them.

10:02:33:19 10:02:35:24 02:05

Tell me, what was I like?

10:02:36:08 10:02:41:13 05:05

She was the kind that stayed put

and made no trouble.

10:02:43:24 10:02:46:03 02:04

And that is the way I am now.

10:02:54:03 10:03:01:00 06:22

-I lived in that house behind us...

-You're the chauffer, you‘ve been drinking?

10:03:02:16 10:03:08:03 05:12

Grandpa, don't interrupt me please,

I am going to say something.

10:03:12:04 10:03:17:01 04:22

I lived here from my birth to 6 years.

10:03:18:01 10:03:22:24 04:23

I have the nicest memories from here.

10:03:24:08 10:03:26:22 02:14

The tulips were bigger than me.

10:03:28:21 10:03:36:06 07:10

I remember the big strawberries.

It's funny now, because I've grown up.

10:03:37:07 10:03:40:23 03:16

It s a shame it doesn t

look the same.

10:03:41:18 10:03:45:10 03:17

I had the nicest childhood here.

10:03:47:13 10:03:49:20 02:07

Grandpa, be quiet!

10:03:58:23 10:04:02:19 03:21

With bread

and salt we'd be like peasants.

10:04:13:24 10:04:16:10 02:11

For the past three years,

10:04:16:14 10:04:21:02 04:13

I ve been modeling only once

or twice a year,

10:04:22:11 10:04:25:09 02:23

so I'm out of practice and nervous today.

10:04:26:02 10:04:31:00 04:23

They don't stay on my feet,

I don t know how I ll walk with them.

10:04:31:13 10:04:33:15 02:02

I'm afraid I'll trip.

10:04:34:10 10:04:40:05 05:20

My husband may also come.

He has never seen me model.

10:04:41:19 10:04:47:05 05:11

If something is important for me,

usually it doesn't go well.

10:04:54:01 10:04:57:15 03:14

Beskydská 3. I also spent my youth here.

10:04:58:13 10:05:02:08 03:20

I lived with my parents from the age of 5.

10:05:03:14 10:05:08:22 05:08

I left in 1992

but I always come here - home.

10:05:10:02 10:05:14:21 04:19

The 2nd window from the top,

a 3-room flat.

10:05:15:06 10:05:19:14 04:08

Everyone lived in this type of building.

10:05:39:13 10:05:41:09 01:21

Am I shiny?

10:05:47:01 10:05:52:01 05:00

It's best to model clothes that are crazy,

10:05:53:03 10:05:58:19 05:16

extravagant, bizarre.

It's more fun.

10:05:59:11 10:06:03:04 03:18

The other clothes

could be worn by anyone.

10:06:07:20 10:06:15:15 07:20

The best shows were with Thierry Mugler.

I'd always wanted to work with him.

10:06:16:12 10:06:19:23 03:11

It means the real top.

10:06:21:19 10:06:27:18 05:24

I was honored that he chose me.

10:06:28:16 10:06:33:05 04:14

Then Hubert de Givenchy

himself chose me for a show.

10:06:33:09 10:06:37:21 04:12

Together with Yves Saint Laurent,

he s one of the greatest today.

10:06:44:11 10:06:49:09 04:23

Welcome to your school,

your alma mater.

10:06:49:19 10:06:53:18 03:24

I was always the first or second

best in basic school.

10:06:53:22 10:06:59:23 06:01

I had some trouble in the first

years of  grammar school.

10:07:00:18 10:07:04:14 03:21

It bothered me so I studied a lot.

10:07:04:18 10:07:08:06 03:13

Even B was a bad mark for me.

10:07:13:06 10:07:16:10 03:04

In the 1980s manifestation was mandatory

10:07:16:14 10:07:19:16 03:02

even for students who were apolitical.

10:07:20:09 10:07:24:14 04:05

Like most 16-year old girls,

Adriana had other worries.

10:07:26:08 10:07:31:06 04:23

I did gymnastics and played basketball

in secondary school.

10:07:32:01 10:07:37:05 05:04

But then I had time only

for my first love and school.

10:07:38:04 10:07:41:06 03:02

We started dating in the second year.

10:07:41:17 10:07:47:07 05:15

Actually, it all started

on the day before a trip to Prague.

10:07:50:19 10:07:57:04 06:10

To have time alone,

we went in the shower.

10:07:57:20 10:08:01:15 03:20

But someone tattled on us or something.

10:08:01:19 10:08:04:23 03:04

My parents found out

and I got a whipping

10:08:05:19 10:08:07:16 01:22

-a real whipping.

10:08:14:10 10:08:18:13 04:03

I'm surprised I fit, they‘re so small.

10:08:18:18 10:08:22:02 03:09

One teacher discovered her.  He said:

10:08:22:06 10:08:26:22 04:16

She's your student in the first year

and she will achieve something.

10:08:27:01 10:08:30:09 03:08

He saw her in gym class,

she was sitting interestingly.

10:08:30:13 10:08:33:06 02:18

-He even took her picture.

-I have it at home.

10:08:33:10 10:08:38:00 04:15

It was how she sat,

the hands and legs...

10:08:38:08 10:08:42:11 04:03

-Like an artist.

-That was my first photo.

10:08:48:24 10:08:50:22 01:23

How horrible!

10:08:55:07 10:09:01:13 06:06

This show was organized by UNICEF

and Penelope Zagoraz

10:09:02:03 10:09:05:07 03:04

who so wanted me to do the show.

10:09:06:15 10:09:11:15 05:00

She showed me her sketch

from 10 years ago.

10:09:12:03 10:09:16:11 04:08

She was surprised by the resemblance.

10:09:30:22 10:09:35:11 04:14

My boyfriend Roman

and I would come here.

10:09:35:17 10:09:38:15 02:23

We would ride our bikes,

10:09:39:15 10:09:41:17 02:02

and go camping.

10:09:42:12 10:09:46:22 04:10

Our parents knew this was our first love.

10:09:47:09 10:09:52:08 04:24

I think they looked at us as kids...

10:09:52:17 10:09:56:06 03:14

They didn't really slack off in work.

10:09:56:10 10:10:01:18 05:08

Only once,

I waited for her coming from the cinema.

10:10:02:14 10:10:06:12 03:23

Because we were still in the tent!

10:10:07:20 10:10:12:03 04:08

I stood at the window and waited.

10:10:19:24 10:10:23:21 03:22

At the end of secondary school

Perestroika was shining through with hope

10:10:24:00 10:10:28:15 04:15

that maybe banned films would be shown

or that jeans could be bought in any store.

10:10:28:19 10:10:33:16 04:22

But to go to Paris for a weekend,

that was unimaginable.

10:10:33:23 10:10:37:15 03:17

In these times, Adriana had to decide

what she would be.

10:10:38:00 10:10:40:14 02:14

I wanted to be a veterinarian as a child.

10:10:40:18 10:10:45:15 04:22

Mom talked me out of it,

saying it's too hard for a woman

10:10:45:19 10:10:49:14 03:20

that it's not just work with cute animals,

10:10:49:18 10:10:55:06 05:13

but giving birth to calves all day.

It wouldn't bother me, but mom warned me.

10:11:09:21 10:11:12:07 02:11

Adriana decided, like her mother,

10:11:12:11 10:11:16:04 03:18

to study medicine

at Charles University in Prague.

10:11:23:07 10:11:27:17 04:10

I'd had the worst jitters

- because of Chris.

10:11:28:08 10:11:31:05 02:22

He's never been to one of my shows.

10:11:31:09 10:11:33:07 01:23

Not once.

10:11:35:13 10:11:38:11 02:23

It's horrible, he criticizes everyone.

10:11:38:15 10:11:42:21 04:06

You should move differently,

it s a bit better this way...

10:11:43:00 10:11:46:20 03:20

You ll need to move

better the next time.

10:11:47:04 10:11:49:16 02:12

I imagined his comments.

10:11:51:07 10:11:53:05 01:23

But he was satisfied.

10:11:53:09 10:11:57:13 04:04

He was stressed

that he had to go on stage.

10:11:58:10 10:12:02:00 03:15

I guess he was sweating more than I was.

10:12:03:13 10:12:07:11 03:23

I have never modeled a dress

with real diamonds before.

10:12:07:15 10:12:11:08 03:18

I was a princess with a thousand carats.

10:12:12:09 10:12:20:05 07:21

Designer Penelope Zagoraz donated these

diamonds from her collection to UNICEF.

10:12:27:02 10:12:32:24 05:22

I love to model wedding dresses,

they‘re magical.

10:12:33:22 10:12:39:20 05:23

Every woman dreams of her wedding.

And this dress was beautiful.

10:12:40:11 10:12:46:00 05:14

Adinka told me of Chris

2 hours after they met.

10:12:49:06 10:12:54:08 05:02

I recognized that something was going on.

10:12:54:12 10:12:57:17 03:05

It was the kind of ahhhh...

10:12:58:02 10:13:03:06 05:04

she couldn't breath.

There was warmth coming from the phone.

10:13:03:10 10:13:08:18 05:08

I knew it would be something serious.

10:13:50:18 10:13:54:00 03:07

I wrote my phone number here.

10:13:55:12 10:14:00:08 04:21

He didn't recognize me -

I had a black wig.

10:14:19:07 10:14:24:15 05:08

Unfortunately,

I have to return this red dress.

10:14:27:23 10:14:30:11 02:13

It's from a show,

10:14:31:06 10:14:33:21 02:15

I wore it only once.

10:14:36:07 10:14:40:01 03:19

This is only a third of my closet.

10:14:40:13 10:14:44:15 04:02

Another is in Paris and one in England.

10:14:45:19 10:14:48:13 02:19

This is the most beautiful

10:14:49:24 10:14:51:21 01:22

- my wedding dress,

10:14:53:05 10:14:56:03 02:23

wrinkled but beautiful.

10:14:56:18 10:15:01:10 04:17

This is from Chris -

for when I'm pregnant.

10:15:02:18 10:15:05:23 03:05

It's got lots of room for a big belly.

10:15:08:11 10:15:11:17 03:06

At least I'm ready- if we talk of closets.

10:15:13:12 10:15:18:22 05:10

It is a problem,

I can wear a dress only once in a country.

10:15:19:22 10:15:24:08 04:11

They‘d would be gossiping about me

for not having a thing to wear.

10:15:24:12 10:15:26:19 02:07

So be careful, only once.

10:15:38:23 10:15:46:24 08:01

I remember, we started here

- the scapula and clavicle.

10:15:51:09 10:15:54:11 03:02

I studied non-stop.

10:15:54:15 10:16:02:05 07:15

We didn't waste time to get a drink, as

we would miss the time later at the exam.

10:16:02:12 10:16:05:19 03:07

No cinemas, absolutely nothing.

10:16:06:06 10:16:13:03 06:22

I didn't sleep three nights before

the exam. I wanted to reschedule it.

10:16:13:23 10:16:17:24 04:01

It wasn't possible.

I cried all morning.

10:16:19:05 10:16:25:06 06:01

No sleep for 3 days and ready to faint-

that's when I do my best.

10:16:26:19 10:16:30:20 04:01

Everything is here in black and white.

10:16:31:10 10:16:33:14 02:04

Autopsy - A minus.

10:16:33:24 10:16:36:02 02:03

Heart - A.

10:16:36:13 10:16:40:07 03:19

Joints of the extremities - B.

Skull - A minus - I was good.

10:16:40:23 10:16:44:23 04:00

Inner and outer nose - unfortunately...

10:16:45:23 10:16:51:01 05:03

I failed my first attempt

to take the exam because of the nose.

10:17:23:08 10:17:27:01 03:18

I never refused a design at the beginning.

10:17:27:05 10:17:31:24 04:19

Even when I didn't like it

and had enough of it.

10:17:32:13 10:17:36:00 03:12

I didn't let out a peep.

10:17:37:04 10:17:40:17 03:13

No one would tolerate that of me then.

10:17:41:03 10:17:45:05 04:02

Now it's different,

they say: how are you?

10:17:45:11 10:17:47:12 02:01

you're so beautiful!

10:17:49:04 10:17:51:00 01:21

That's life.

10:17:51:07 10:17:55:09 04:02

Of course,

maybe in 5 years it will be:

10:17:55:23 10:17:59:10 03:12

Oh, darling, what happened?

You look so bad.

10:17:59:14 10:18:02:22 03:08

That's the other side of the coin.

10:18:04:11 10:18:08:06 03:20

We have to profit from what we have now.

10:18:11:06 10:18:15:06 04:00

They‘re always writing

about Chris and me.

10:18:16:02 10:18:21:00 04:23

How we've got a new business,

about my men.

10:18:21:21 10:18:25:14 03:18

Now they write

that we are together, two months ago

10:18:25:18 10:18:29:02 03:09

they wrote that we were separated.

10:18:30:05 10:18:32:14 02:09

In VOICE they wrote,

10:18:33:08 10:18:39:16 06:08

the Czech blond siren

and the world champion will divorce.

10:18:47:23 10:18:55:15 07:17

My worst moments at medical school

were here where we did autopsies.

10:18:56:12 10:19:02:05 05:18

The first year it was only arms and legs,

the second year, it was the whole body.

10:19:29:17 10:19:34:12 04:20

-This is where exams were given.

-Exams from anatomy didn't scare me.

10:19:34:16 10:19:38:14 03:23

We were given practice exams every hour.

10:19:38:18 10:19:42:11 03:18

We were the most afraid of histology.

10:19:43:20 10:19:45:19 01:24

Physiology was also hard.

10:19:45:23 10:19:49:15 03:17

The femur, the first bone we studied.

10:19:49:24 10:19:54:05 04:06

All of the tendons, muscles and in Latin.

10:20:03:01 10:20:06:11 03:10

I lived here for almost 3 years.

10:20:08:10 10:20:10:13 02:03

This was like our home.

10:20:11:13 10:20:14:21 03:08

Let's see what it looks like today.

10:20:23:02 10:20:26:02 03:00

There were five girls here.

10:20:26:18 10:20:29:13 02:20

I had the bed by the window.

10:20:30:17 10:20:32:24 02:07

This is how we lived.

10:20:35:14 10:20:39:15 04:01

I received little money - between

500 and 700 crowns.

10:20:39:21 10:20:44:20 04:24

I paid for everything and

on top of that I had a boyfriend here.

10:20:45:11 10:20:48:22 03:11

We had to choose- either we'd

buy a wafer or go to cinemas.

10:20:49:01 10:20:55:19 06:18

We'd make extra money working nights

in the bakery or at the post office.

10:20:56:03 10:20:58:09 02:06

The bakery was super.

10:21:03:20 10:21:06:11 02:16

Two months after Adriana began university,

10:21:06:15 10:21:10:05 03:15

the Velvet Revolution

led by students began.

10:21:10:09 10:21:14:23 04:14

The country inhaled the freedom.

No one could stand on the side.

10:21:21:04 10:21:23:12 02:08

On November 17th 1989

10:21:24:06 10:21:28:05 03:24

a peaceful student demonstration was held.

10:21:29:18 10:21:34:16 04:23

The police surrounded the

students from all sides,

10:21:35:22 10:21:40:07 04:10

screamed at them to disperse,

but they had no where to escape.

10:21:40:11 10:21:43:15 03:04

Then the police brutally attacked.

10:21:45:08 10:21:48:18 03:10

I was at home in Banska Bystrice.

10:21:49:15 10:21:54:04 04:14

I went to Prague to school; it was closed.

10:21:54:23 10:21:58:09 03:11

They said it probably

wouldn't be open.

10:21:59:16 10:22:05:00 05:09

Later at the campus

we found out what was happening.

10:22:06:05 10:22:13:01 06:21

Immediately after the revolution

The Citizens Forum then formed

10:22:13:05 10:22:17:16 04:11

to coordinate demonstrations in Prague.

10:22:18:12 10:22:24:16 06:04

Medical students walked around with red

cross on their sleeves ready to help.

10:22:24:20 10:22:28:18 03:23

We came here with keys and lighters.

10:22:29:10 10:22:35:03 05:18

The first government changes were cosmetic.

10:22:36:18 10:22:40:19 04:01

What people feared the most

was that nothing would change.

10:22:41:10 10:22:47:06 05:21

But 2 articles of the Constitution

were changed in November.

10:22:47:10 10:22:50:16 03:06

Removing Communists as the leading party

10:22:50:20 10:22:56:19 05:24

and voiding Marxism-Leninism

as the only ideology was a great success.

10:22:56:23 10:23:03:10 06:12

I'm happy I was here.

For our parents 1968 didn't work.

10:23:04:04 10:23:08:13 04:09

I'm glad it worked this time...

10:23:13:15 10:23:19:07 05:17

During the revolution Adriana could

have met with another upcoming model

10:23:19:11 10:23:22:21 03:10

on Wenceslav Square, Eva Herzigova.

10:23:34:24 10:23:37:03 02:04

Dear Friends,

10:23:38:02 10:23:42:10 04:08

a moment ago

I was unanimously voted President

10:23:42:14 10:23:46:17 04:03

of our republic by the Federal Assembly.

10:23:48:20 10:23:51:07 02:12

Adriana at the time had no inkling

10:23:51:11 10:23:55:22 04:11

of what democracy,

and open borders, would mean.

10:23:56:15 10:23:58:24 02:09

Her everyday life seemed the same.

10:23:59:03 10:24:03:12 04:09

From class to study rooms, from Prague

to Slovakia, home and school.

10:24:03:17 10:24:10:19 07:02

When I was studying I associated Prague

with all-night trains,

10:24:11:23 10:24:14:10 02:12

exams, scripts, library,

10:24:15:21 10:24:20:00 04:04

cafeterias, dorms, the gray Prague.

10:24:20:14 10:24:25:01 04:12

The beautiful Prague of today escaped me.

10:24:40:06 10:24:44:19 04:13

Adriana likes to combine her pleasure

with happiness she can pass along.

10:24:45:04 10:24:50:09 05:05

In Prague she went to baptize a newborn

at the zoo where she's never been,

10:24:54:00 10:25:01:02 07:02

It's a female.  So Adriana,

what name have you chosen for her?

10:25:01:24 10:25:06:16 04:17

I'd like to give her my name - Adriana.

10:25:07:00 10:25:11:16 04:16

I hope you enjoy your life here.

You will like it here.

10:25:14:21 10:25:17:02 02:06

A toast to her health.

10:25:19:24 10:25:23:05 03:06

Adriana couldn't resist

and went to see the animals

10:25:23:09 10:25:25:24 02:15

that have always interested

her the most.

10:25:42:07 10:25:46:00 03:18

All my childhood I was like a giraffe.

We have a similar fate.

10:26:03:23 10:26:07:13 03:15

As a girl, it bothered her

to be the tallest in class.

10:26:07:17 10:26:11:04 03:12

Now I look like Gérard Depardie.

10:26:11:16 10:26:13:14 01:23

As a model she was entered

10:26:13:18 10:26:18:07 04:14

into the Guinness book of records

for her long legs.

10:26:28:11 10:26:32:18 04:07

Who first told me that I'm pretty?

Grandma.

10:26:33:09 10:26:37:07 03:23

I was always the prettiest girl for her,

10:26:38:05 10:26:40:21 02:16

even when it wasn't true.

10:26:42:15 10:26:45:22 03:07

I was extremely tall and thin.

10:26:47:00 10:26:52:14 05:14

I had straight greasy hair and big teeth.

10:26:53:05 10:26:56:19 03:14

To top it off, I was very shy and quiet.

10:26:56:23 10:27:00:06 03:08

People asked whose child is this?

10:27:03:00 10:27:05:15 02:15

Now these are short legs.

10:27:06:15 10:27:08:23 02:08

How monstrous,

10:27:09:18 10:27:13:23 04:05

short legs and a long body.

10:27:25:08 10:27:28:16 03:08

Coincidences are important in life.

10:27:28:20 10:27:33:14 04:19

You wouldn't believe how they

can completely change your life.

10:27:35:02 10:27:37:07 02:05

That's what happened to me here.

10:27:37:11 10:27:43:20 06:09

I went shopping in this department store

for an elegant swimming suit.

10:27:44:20 10:27:47:13 02:18

A man introduced himself

10:27:47:17 10:27:51:16 03:24

and asked if I'd come to a casting nearby.

10:27:52:17 10:27:56:05 03:13

I was surprised but he convinced me.

10:27:58:04 10:28:03:21 05:17

A French panel asked me to walk around

and to photograph me.

10:28:04:20 10:28:10:04 05:09

I told no one and for 2 weeks nothing.

10:28:10:23 10:28:15:24 05:01

I hoped no one would find out what I did.

10:28:17:04 10:28:21:03 03:24

That was the beginning of everything.

10:28:23:00 10:28:29:00 06:00

When we found out that she‘d go to Paris

we said, well, for the moment...

10:28:30:06 10:28:37:05 06:24

She had her 3rd year's last exam to take.

I said she could postpone it and we'd see.

10:28:38:11 10:28:40:19 02:08

We were afraid.

10:28:43:10 10:28:45:08 01:23

It was horrible.

10:28:45:24 10:28:50:12 04:13

I couldn't decide.

I thought I wouldn't go.

10:28:52:24 10:28:54:21 01:22

I was afraid to go.

10:28:55:10 10:28:59:21 04:11

It was very hard.

Adrijka had a serious relationship.

10:29:00:01 10:29:03:02 03:01

We had to decide.

10:29:04:21 10:29:11:03 06:07

Dad said: "Try it,

you can always come back in 2 weeks."

10:29:11:18 10:29:17:19 06:01

It was so assertive: go and try it.

Go! That was the signal for me.

10:29:19:14 10:29:25:12 05:23

I had no idea what to do or where to go

when I got to the Paris airport.

10:29:25:16 10:29:29:12 03:21

I didn't know where my bag was.

10:29:30:09 10:29:35:08 04:24

The checker was shocked

to see my bag‘s contents.

10:29:36:12 10:29:43:23 07:11

She even pulled a clip out of my hair,

because it looked so weird.

10:29:45:04 10:29:48:12 03:08

I don't know what she thought of me.

10:29:49:00 10:29:54:13 05:13

She decided to have a nice 14 days

and see all of Paris. Like a tourist.

10:29:55:06 10:30:00:10 05:04

She knew that she could always go home.

She always wanted to see Champs Elysée

10:30:00:23 10:30:03:07 02:09

and now she could tour it.

10:30:35:07 10:30:39:13 04:06

In school I had some make-up from mom.

10:30:41:05 10:30:44:01 02:21

Eye pencils and mascara.

10:30:44:18 10:30:48:24 04:06

Mom even told me to wear a bit of make-up.

10:30:49:12 10:30:53:17 04:05

I bought my first lipstick in Hungary.

10:30:53:21 10:30:59:23 06:02

It was a nice cyclamen color.

I wore it to school

10:31:01:07 10:31:07:03 05:21

and no one said anything.

It was the 1980s with lots of make-up.

10:31:07:18 10:31:12:11 04:18

I started wearing eye shadow, no lipstick.

10:31:14:00 10:31:18:09 04:09

Initially, I paid no attention to make-up

10:31:18:19 10:31:22:09 03:15

someone did it for me in the studio,

10:31:23:15 10:31:27:16 04:01

I didn't pay much attention to it.

10:31:28:13 10:31:30:16 02:03

It's great.  Thank you.

10:31:31:01 10:31:32:21 01:20

Now it's different.

10:31:33:00 10:31:37:15 04:15

I like and know how to use cosmetics now.

10:31:39:17 10:31:42:12 02:20

I like to put it on by myself.

10:31:42:21 10:31:48:03 05:07

If I could spend a week in a spa,

10:31:49:02 10:31:54:15 05:13

that would be an ideal week.

I adore it.

10:32:01:01 10:32:02:22 01:21

Models not only do shows,

10:32:03:01 10:32:06:12 03:11

but also social activities,

modeling clothes and jewelry.

10:32:06:16 10:32:10:10 03:19

Adriana has been invited as a celebrity.

Her main job is to smile

10:32:10:14 10:32:13:07 02:18

and to be photographed

a hundred times a night.

10:32:13:11 10:32:16:19 03:08

Today she chooses

mainly charity events.

10:32:18:15 10:32:24:05 05:15

I love this kind of gala parties

that have some purpose.

10:32:25:12 10:32:31:04 05:17

People enjoy themselves,

have the chance to meet,

10:32:31:21 10:32:35:09 03:13

and enjoy themselves,

but always for a charitable cause.

10:32:35:20 10:32:38:24 03:04

It's a nice atmosphere,

10:32:40:19 10:32:45:17 04:23

with the women dressed elegantly.

There's glamour everywhere.

10:32:46:16 10:32:51:04 04:13

It reminds me of my childhood dream

to become a princess.

10:33:06:23 10:33:10:06 03:08

Paris was for me a fashion Mecca.

10:33:10:12 10:33:15:07 04:20

I wanted to show my parents

that I didn't go there for nothing.

10:33:15:11 10:33:20:13 05:02

Maybe it was the feeling

of adventure and freedom.

10:33:21:05 10:33:23:18 02:13

For the first time

I had to depend on myself.

10:33:23:22 10:33:26:14 02:17

It fascinated me.

I didn't want to go home.

10:33:26:24 10:33:30:24 04:00

We didn't tell the school

that something was going on,

10:33:31:21 10:33:38:20 06:24

because I didn't think

anything would come of it.

10:33:40:10 10:33:45:12 05:02

There were 2 Slovak girls

in the flat already.

10:33:46:07 10:33:52:02 05:20

I was glad that I wasn't alone;

I spoke no English or French.

10:33:53:22 10:33:58:05 04:08

During the first weeks

we went to the castings together.

10:33:58:09 10:34:01:15 03:06

Just the subway was terrifying for us.

10:34:12:14 10:34:16:00 03:11

At the beginning

I got good and bad advice from the agency.

10:34:16:23 10:34:19:09 02:11

The first thing they did was cut my hair.

10:34:19:13 10:34:24:20 05:07

I looked horrible, but was happy.

I thought that is a new trend.

10:34:24:24 10:34:27:01 02:02

That was the bad advice.

10:34:27:05 10:34:29:23 02:18

The good advice was to lose weight.

10:34:30:02 10:34:36:12 06:10

They told me not to eat bread,

not to eat sweets, almost anything.

10:34:36:16 10:34:39:06 02:15

I thought it was a joke.

10:34:39:10 10:34:41:09 01:24

It wasn‘t so much of a joke,

10:34:41:21 10:34:47:12 05:16

because I'm 185 cms tall,

I had to fit into a size 36-38 dress.

10:34:48:02 10:34:50:22 02:20

That's why I had to be very thin.

10:34:55:03 10:35:00:04 05:01

In 1992, I went to 15 castings a day.

10:35:01:04 10:35:04:13 03:09

We waited for several hours.

10:35:05:07 10:35:10:20 05:13

People treat you as a thing,

not like a person.

10:35:11:00 10:35:16:11 05:11

I passed all their tests.

The photographers told me

10:35:16:15 10:35:23:10 06:20

not to just look but to express.

First I didn't understand.

10:35:23:14 10:35:28:15 05:01

Anytime I thought

the pictures would be perfect

10:35:29:06 10:35:31:10 02:04

they were horrible.

10:35:31:20 10:35:36:10 04:15

I thought I'm not photogenic,

I can't do that.

10:35:43:13 10:35:47:17 04:04

I didn't know English,

I had no money.

10:35:48:19 10:35:54:22 06:03

I used the subway. I was happy

when I bought a monthly ticket.

10:35:55:08 10:36:00:23 05:15

But I lost it. I had to call the

agency, which was horrible.

10:36:01:11 10:36:06:07 04:21

Try making a call

when you don't speak the language!

10:36:06:11 10:36:10:06 03:20

So I sat down and cried.

10:36:10:13 10:36:13:13 03:00

Just when Adriana

had found her bearings in Paris

10:36:13:17 10:36:16:03 02:11

Czechoslovakia split in two.

10:36:16:11 10:36:19:03 02:17

From that moment she was a Slovak citizen.

10:36:19:07 10:36:24:02 04:20

She'd need a new passport

to go from Prague home.

10:36:29:10 10:36:35:17 06:07

We travel a lot. When we go

to a new place I find a dentist.

10:36:36:11 10:36:40:21 04:10

You can't travel at all with a toothache.

10:36:42:02 10:36:47:11 05:09

I have to be convinced before they drill.

10:36:49:03 10:36:53:10 04:07

I‘m as stiff as a board -

if you have bad experiences

10:36:54:19 10:36:57:21 03:02

you are afraid.

10:37:16:20 10:37:19:17 02:22

Filming a spot for the French Red Cross

10:37:19:21 10:37:22:02 02:06

This is the work

Adriana likes doing the most

10:37:22:06 10:37:26:16 04:10

because it makes sense,

helping there where it's needed.

10:38:10:17 10:38:15:14 04:22

The offer to work

with the Red Cross came in 1999.

10:38:16:18 10:38:19:13 02:20

It was the Land Mine Project.

10:38:19:19 10:38:25:18 05:24

Then in 2000 they asked me for help.

It was the First Aid Project.

10:38:26:08 10:38:30:18 04:10

They knew

I'd like it because of my schooling,

10:38:31:11 10:38:34:10 02:24

even if they wanted a model's body.

10:38:34:14 10:38:39:04 04:15

When I did the course

for first aid instructors

10:38:39:17 10:38:44:11 04:19

our cooperation

began to deepen.

10:38:46:11 10:38:50:21 04:10

Since I studied medicine

for three years,

10:38:51:15 10:38:53:18 02:03

it changed me,

10:38:55:20 10:38:59:02 03:07

I feel competent for the job.

10:39:24:01 10:39:29:12 05:11

When I started with castings

they demanded high heels,

10:39:29:18 10:39:34:05 04:12

elegant clothes- a tight decent skirt

10:39:35:02 10:39:40:02 05:00

and shirt or sweater to make you stand out.

10:39:41:10 10:39:46:18 05:08

And that's how you'd spend the whole day.

You'd start at 9 am and come home at 9 pm.

10:39:46:22 10:39:51:15 04:18

You'd come to see a panel of 1-3 people.

10:39:52:09 10:39:55:13 03:04

You go in and behave elegantly,

10:39:55:20 10:40:00:09 04:14

trying to forget

the hard casting day you've had.

10:40:01:22 10:40:04:21 02:24

You open your book

but the person is on the phone.

10:40:05:00 10:40:07:11 02:11

He lists thru your book

10:40:08:21 10:40:12:10 03:14

never really looking

and says "Thank you".

10:40:16:01 10:40:19:18 03:17

I thought I would cry several times.

10:40:31:12 10:40:35:19 04:07

Why did you say

that our parents didn't agree?

10:40:36:24 10:40:38:19 01:20

Because they didn't.

10:40:39:09 10:40:43:19 04:10

They were glad

you were studying medicine.

10:40:44:15 10:40:46:21 02:06

It was a hard decision:

10:40:47:10 10:40:52:08 04:23

I was in school,

I had a boyfriend, I didn't want to go.

10:40:52:14 10:40:56:17 04:03

But mom was nervous

and dad said: go, go.

10:40:57:04 10:41:01:01 03:22

They thought it'd be for 3 months,

10:41:01:05 10:41:05:15 04:10

not that you would stay,

not finish school.

10:41:06:01 10:41:09:23 03:22

- They were happy.

- They weren't happy at all.

10:41:10:15 10:41:15:04 04:14

-They weren't happy?

-When it was uncertain they were afraid.

10:41:15:15 10:41:18:03 02:13

Now they are happy for you.

10:41:18:14 10:41:20:24 02:10

When things were ok

they were happy,

10:41:21:03 10:41:25:05 04:02

at the beginning it was uncertain,

they weren't happy.

10:41:25:19 10:41:29:12 03:18

I thought it would cause more troubles.

10:41:29:24 10:41:32:23 02:24

I left in the middle of the 3rd year

10:41:33:02 10:41:39:15 06:13

I interrupted my studies for 2 years

then 4, that was an exception.

10:41:40:04 10:41:44:03 03:24

In the end I never returned.

10:41:48:15 10:41:53:12 04:22

For a year I had been on a phone with

my boyfriend, he never came to Paris.

10:41:53:16 10:41:58:06 04:15

We argued about why I'm not returning.

10:41:58:15 10:42:00:12 01:22

Then...

10:42:01:12 10:42:04:03 02:16

I knew I wouldn't return,

10:42:06:12 10:42:08:23 02:11

and... we split up.

10:42:10:02 10:42:13:09 03:07

For me it looked like betrayal.

10:42:14:17 10:42:17:12 02:20

And it was.  It was betrayal.

10:42:30:14 10:42:36:04 05:15

When I come here it reminds me of school.

10:42:37:04 10:42:44:07 07:03

I imagine myself with a white coat,

what my life could have looked like.

10:42:44:11 10:42:48:22 04:11

I'm not sad, I'm satisfied with my life.

10:42:49:03 10:42:55:00 05:22

If I could go back 10 years,

I'd decide the same.

10:42:57:00 10:42:58:21 01:21

I can't do it.

10:42:59:00 10:43:03:01 04:01

I wanted to wait.  Try it at the show.

10:43:07:18 10:43:10:18 03:00

To try something I never dreamed of.

10:43:11:21 10:43:16:04 04:08

I was already in Paris,

and it was attainable,

10:43:16:17 10:43:18:16 01:24

I wanted to try it.

10:43:21:12 10:43:24:07 02:20

At one of my first shows,

10:43:24:22 10:43:28:17 03:20

I worked with one

of the greatest recent designers,

10:43:28:21 10:43:32:20 03:24

Mr. Hubert de Givenchy,

a very tall elegant man.

10:43:34:00 10:43:37:24 03:24

He designed for Audrey Hepburn,

only for real stars.

10:43:38:03 10:43:42:20 04:17

His castings were always complicated,

and long.

10:43:43:03 10:43:45:21 02:18

I was in seventh heaven when he chose me.

10:43:46:22 10:43:49:12 02:15

You'll see it in a month at the show.

10:43:49:16 10:43:53:02 03:11

Now I do things that interest me,

10:43:53:09 10:43:56:03 02:19

what I haven't tried yet.

10:43:56:12 10:44:00:20 04:08

Or I want to work with Gérard Rancinan.

He is a super photographer.

10:45:40:10 10:45:46:02 05:17

Then I met someone who helped me a lot.

I met Benjamin at the disco.

10:45:46:16 10:45:49:23 03:07

He advised me on a lot of things.

10:45:50:02 10:45:52:11 02:09

He told me to do this or to do that.

10:45:52:15 10:45:55:20 03:05

On his advice I quickly changed agencies.

10:45:57:15 10:46:00:12 02:22

I trusted him. I felt secure.

10:46:02:02 10:46:06:16 04:14

He was one of the first

who said "You have to fight your way,

10:46:06:20 10:46:12:00 05:05

it's hard, but you've got what it takes,

you have a big chance.

10:46:12:09 10:46:16:20 04:11

You can always go home

and to school. Try it!"

10:46:53:09 10:46:57:13 04:04

Come on, I'll show you, we have time.

10:46:57:24 10:47:00:11 02:12

We have to push, it's full.

10:47:00:15 10:47:03:16 03:01

With Benjamin,

we have these fast food restaurants

10:47:03:20 10:47:05:16 01:21

in the center of Paris.

10:47:05:20 10:47:12:10 06:15

When I come to town, the reporters are out.

She solves it simply, she poses for them.

10:47:12:14 10:47:16:07 03:18

The reporters complicate our lives.

10:47:16:11 10:47:20:02 03:16

They don't stop taking pictures.

10:47:20:09 10:47:24:14 04:05

They even follow you to the toilet.

But it's their "job".

10:47:25:10 10:47:27:15 02:05

They get on my nerves.

10:47:27:23 10:47:34:11 06:13

Here behind this green, we are protected.

They haven't found us yet.

10:47:34:16 10:47:40:04 05:13

We had problems here

to go to the Acropolis like tourists.

10:47:41:02 10:47:44:00 02:23

So we still haven't seen it.

10:47:44:19 10:47:47:13 02:19

They‘re like flies.

10:47:53:21 10:47:56:00 02:04

For the first 4 years

10:47:56:04 10:48:00:13 04:09

I modeled for magazine editorials

and did shows.

10:48:00:22 10:48:05:10 04:13

When I got an ad for Peroni

in Italy, I thought...

10:48:08:22 10:48:14:19 05:22

my agent said you'll see how

this will change my life.

10:48:15:12 10:48:20:12 05:00

He was right.

This ad always has a blonde

10:48:20:22 10:48:27:22 07:00

and she is the symbol of womanhood.

There's even a never ending TV show.

10:48:28:05 10:48:31:11 03:06

Italians adore "bionda Peroni".

10:48:33:01 10:48:36:20 03:19

It really was the turning point for me.

10:49:16:14 10:49:22:06 05:17

And then I got an offer to model

Italian lingerie and for Wonderbra.

10:49:22:10 10:49:25:08 02:23

That changed everything.

10:49:25:17 10:49:30:11 04:19

I got stuck with lingerie,

underwear, swimming suits...

10:49:30:20 10:49:34:14 03:19

It‘s because of my body, face and breasts.

10:49:35:23 10:49:38:03 02:05

Girls usually...

10:49:38:23 10:49:42:05 03:07

have smaller... well...

10:49:45:10 10:49:50:21 05:11

I've got bigger breasts and that's why.

10:49:55:10 10:49:59:17 04:07

I got these from Chris as reconciliation

10:50:01:00 10:50:03:13 02:13

after arguing over meat.

10:50:04:12 10:50:09:20 05:08

I said it was beef and he said pork-

10:50:15:09 10:50:17:07 01:23

then we made up.

10:50:17:24 10:50:23:08 05:09

He officially asked

for her hand in marriage

10:50:24:10 10:50:27:09 02:24

I translated it, we were very serious..

10:50:27:13 10:50:30:12 02:24

It was terribly official.

10:50:30:23 10:50:35:16 04:18

And then dad answered, he respected it.

10:50:36:07 10:50:41:00 04:18

And in the morning he called his parents.

10:50:41:06 10:50:46:14 05:08

Remember what he said?

He said, she's mine! They gave her to me.

10:50:46:23 10:50:51:04 04:06

We had a huge wedding on Corsica.

10:50:52:12 10:50:54:18 02:06

I like it there.

10:50:55:20 10:50:59:17 03:22

We invited the whole family.

10:51:31:22 10:51:37:07 05:10

We finished at seven.

All the guests stayed and we escaped.

10:51:37:11 10:51:40:06 02:20

We stayed

and you actually disappeared.

10:51:40:10 10:51:42:08 01:23

We had a small plane ready.

10:51:42:15 10:51:49:14 06:24

I tried to guess  by the length of the trip

where we were going.

10:51:51:02 10:51:54:03 03:01

It was really a kidnapping...

10:51:54:07 10:51:58:06 03:24

We were on Madeira, it was magnificent.

10:51:59:05 10:52:03:20 04:15

We went for a walk

in the beautiful botanical gardens.

10:52:04:07 10:52:07:23 03:16

Chris had lots of herbs in his pockets.

10:52:09:24 10:52:15:01 05:02

He ground them up in the room

and rubbed them all over.

10:52:15:15 10:52:20:24 05:09

He came out from the bathroom

and was green from head to toe.

10:52:33:08 10:52:37:03 03:20

Chris was very closed at the beginning.

10:52:37:09 10:52:42:17 05:08

I thought because of my

personality, because of me,

10:52:43:12 10:52:50:21 07:09

but it is his culture, upbringing.

It took a long time to become partners.

10:52:51:22 10:52:59:00 07:03

Sometimes it's easier

to be husband and wife than friends.

10:53:00:22 10:53:05:20 04:23

We've managed it after few years.

Chris is closed...

10:53:07:09 10:53:09:12 02:03

like an unformidable fortress.

10:54:12:02 10:54:15:04 03:02

I like traveling.  Now a bit less,

10:54:15:08 10:54:19:10 04:02

I don't want to let Chris home alone.

10:54:19:14 10:54:26:07 06:18

I've kept all of my airplane tickets

from the past 12 years.

10:54:28:09 10:54:31:01 02:17

Hotel life suits me.

10:54:31:19 10:54:35:21 04:02

It's always something new.

10:54:36:00 10:54:43:15 07:15

I love how different hotels

are furnished in different countries,

10:54:44:10 10:54:49:01 04:16

in what colors,

furniture, how they sleep.

10:54:50:00 10:54:54:04 04:04

The truth is they pamper us a lot.

10:54:56:08 10:55:00:02 03:19

I've gotten accustomed to the comfort.

10:55:00:06 10:55:05:11 05:05

When I lived in the dorms the

conditions didn't seem bad.

10:55:06:02 10:55:11:13 05:11

Now I complain

about the stupidest things.

10:55:12:24 10:55:16:17 03:18

In that I've changed for the worst.

10:55:17:09 10:55:21:02 03:18

You easily get used to super comfort.

10:55:37:10 10:55:40:02 02:17

Adriana's agency takes care of comfort.

10:55:40:22 10:55:45:20 04:23

When asked when she last flew economy,

she said 7 years ago.

10:55:45:24 10:55:49:24 04:00

She didn't understand why we asked

how often she flies first class,

10:55:50:03 10:55:52:02 01:24

"I always fly first class."

10:55:52:06 10:55:58:03 05:22

and she added that the agency

is very nice and pampers her.

10:55:58:07 10:56:00:08 02:01

She's one of their gems.

10:56:24:07 10:56:26:14 02:07

Adriana has become a true European,

10:56:26:18 10:56:29:14 02:21

she lives in Slovakia,

with her husband they move

10:56:29:18 10:56:32:05 02:12

from Spain, England,

Greece and Switzerland,

10:56:32:09 10:56:34:01 01:17

they have a flat in Paris.

10:56:34:05 10:56:38:11 04:06

Luckily both the Czech and Slovak

Republics joined the EU family.

10:56:38:15 10:56:41:07 02:17

Borders no longer have

their nonsense limits.

10:57:01:19 10:57:05:01 03:07

People notice me,

but I always emphasize,

10:57:05:05 10:57:09:17 04:12

that people can't miss me

as I'm tall and I've got blonde hair.

10:57:09:21 10:57:13:14 03:18

No matter who I am,

they would turn their heads.

10:57:15:13 10:57:24:12 08:24

From the beginning, I remember a star,

a model with everything.

10:57:26:03 10:57:30:22 04:19

In modeling it is easy,

people put you on a pedestal.

10:57:31:01 10:57:35:05 04:04

They'll do anything -it‘s easy to abuse.

10:57:36:12 10:57:41:17 05:05

It depends on your character.

If I ask for my own dressing room, okay,

10:57:42:00 10:57:51:01 09:01

but I won't ask for 300 candles,

Evian for the bath or other silly things.

10:57:57:06 10:58:00:03 02:22

It's really me!

10:58:01:18 10:58:06:04 04:11

For shows you need a bit of exhibitionism.

10:58:06:16 10:58:10:15 03:24

Nothing else needs to be invested.

10:58:11:20 10:58:14:16 02:21

It's not an artistic creation.

10:58:30:07 10:58:33:17 03:10

Franck Provost

Owner of a chain of luxurious beauty salons

10:58:33:21 10:58:39:05 05:09

This is Franck. We met 5 years ago

when he did my hair for the wedding.

10:58:39:24 10:58:45:21 05:22

Since then I come only here,

he's the best.

10:58:48:05 10:58:57:18 09:13

Besides he's a nice person, we're friends.

10:58:58:07 10:59:01:15 03:08

This is a lock of Adriana's hair.

10:59:02:11 10:59:06:12 04:01

And this is Chris and Adriana together.

10:59:07:06 10:59:13:09 06:03

That's our couple, mixed. I like it.

10:59:15:04 10:59:22:20 07:16

I always say I really

don't see my husband's skin color.

10:59:24:19 10:59:30:22 06:03

Strange but I don't see it. They describe

it here in detail. Why it is?

10:59:32:18 10:59:39:15 06:22

It is absurd, comments come

from both whites and black Africans.

10:59:40:01 10:59:43:07 03:06

He's not black enough for them.

10:59:44:05 10:59:50:24 06:19

I think that problems

with skin color are more than awkward.

11:00:23:24 11:00:27:20 03:21

He came home victorious

with a dirty shirt:

11:00:27:24 11:00:31:06 03:07

Here.  Thanks a lot,

it's starting out nicely:

11:00:31:10 11:00:36:15 05:05

Here. Wash it woman.

All men are the same.

11:00:39:03 11:00:42:19 03:16

My beginnings with football were horrible.

11:00:43:17 11:00:50:16 06:24

They're on the field for 2 hours.

I thought I'd fall asleep there.

11:00:51:03 11:00:57:08 06:05

They run into each other,

kick each other...

11:00:59:11 11:01:05:19 06:08

I wanted to take a book with me,

what a faux pas if the reporters saw it.

11:01:07:03 11:01:09:03 02:00

Cut.

11:01:20:23 11:01:29:03 08:05

When I came to Cannes years ago,

I fulfilled a dream to see filmstars...

11:01:38:20 11:01:41:20 03:00

The atmosphere was great.

11:01:41:24 11:01:45:21 03:22

It was a great honor to be there

11:01:46:00 11:01:51:04 05:04

to do a promotion for a jeweller

and costume jewellery.

11:03:19:08 11:03:22:20 03:12

I should throw it away

so Chris doesn't see it.

11:03:23:14 11:03:28:00 04:11

All this for a normal model.

11:03:28:09 11:03:35:18 07:09

How many must rock stars or singers

or even big movie stars get?

11:03:39:14 11:03:46:14 07:00

Cannes has a long tradition,

it gives people the desire to dream.

11:03:47:01 11:03:53:21 06:20

These days, I couldn't just walk

with you on the beach.

11:03:55:16 11:03:58:11 02:20

It's prestigious.

11:03:59:02 11:04:05:08 06:06

Even though

I didn't dream of being a movie star.

11:04:05:18 11:04:09:14 03:21

It's different when I go up those steps

11:04:09:18 11:04:12:16 02:23

and when a star goes up.

11:04:13:15 11:04:16:01 02:11

I'm enjoying it.

11:04:32:04 11:04:37:04 05:00

Adriana first appeared

in Altman's Pret-a-Porter.

11:04:37:18 11:04:40:07 02:14

then for a long time

she refused offers

11:04:40:11 11:04:43:11 03:00

usually to play a naked

or half-naked beauty.

11:04:43:15 11:04:48:15 05:00

She took the role of beauty salon owner

in a successful Czech film comedy series.

11:04:49:02 11:04:51:18 02:16

The first part

came about when she was little.

11:04:51:22 11:04:54:09 02:12

It was one of her favorite films.

11:05:07:03 11:05:11:10 04:07

She then got a larger role

in the French film Three Little Girls.

11:05:39:21 11:05:43:16 03:20

I couldn't believe that I got the

offer for Three Little Girls

11:05:43:20 11:05:48:06 04:11

from director Jean-Loup Hubert

until I met with him in Cannes.

11:05:48:16 11:05:50:11 01:20

I couldn't believe it.

11:05:50:15 11:05:53:13 02:23

I tried to explain

that I know nothing,

11:05:53:17 11:05:58:23 05:06

that I have no experience.

I've got an accent and a soft voice,

11:06:00:00 11:06:05:02 05:02

and I asked about acting lessons.

11:06:05:23 11:06:12:21 06:23

He said I'd lose

my naturalness with lessons.

11:06:16:02 11:06:22:23 06:21

He said the ball is in my court,

I can have anything I want.

11:06:24:15 11:06:30:12 05:22

It is natural for me

not to have much faith in myself.

11:06:35:20 11:06:38:23 03:03

They flattered me a lot,

which you shouldn't do.

11:06:39:02 11:06:43:24 04:22

From the script I knew,

I didn't want to lose the opportunity.

11:07:01:18 11:07:04:11 02:18

Adriana, there's not much

11:07:04:15 11:07:06:19 02:04

that we have to redo.

11:07:06:23 11:07:09:10 02:12

maybe just "hello" here.

11:07:09:22 11:07:12:23 03:01

-Typical...

-This is a bit longer.

11:07:13:02 11:07:16:20 03:18

-That's when I screamed at Kendy?

-Yes, up to the window...

11:07:16:24 11:07:21:11 04:12

-So I have to scream loudly.

-We'll show you everything and then talk.

11:07:21:15 11:07:24:14 02:24

I thought you were a natural red-head.

11:07:24:18 11:07:27:23 03:05

It never hurts

to help Mother Nature a bit.

11:07:28:02 11:07:32:23 04:21

Don't expect miracles

if you don't come on a regular basis.

11:07:33:02 11:07:37:05 04:03

"Don't expect miracles" is a bit faster.

11:07:38:05 11:07:40:02 01:22

Testing.

11:07:41:04 11:07:43:15 02:11

Don't expect miracles.

11:07:45:13 11:07:49:19 04:06

Before it was sexy, you've lost it.

11:07:51:03 11:07:53:06 02:03

Let's try again.

11:07:54:05 11:07:57:07 03:02

It never hurts

to help Mother Nature a bit.

11:07:57:11 11:08:02:19 05:08

Don't expect miracles

if you don't come on a regular basis.

11:08:03:04 11:08:05:03 01:24

That was much better.

11:08:05:07 11:08:07:22 02:15

Adriana, it's okay. Thank you.

11:08:09:06 11:08:15:01 05:20

With the popularity,

I‘m at home in Europe.

11:08:15:16 11:08:21:21 06:05

With popularity,

you can live an easier life.

11:08:23:18 11:08:26:16 02:23

I wouldn't go to New York,

11:08:27:13 11:08:30:05 02:17

a person feels lost there.

11:08:31:03 11:08:35:19 04:16

Mainly, I couldn't get on a plane

and be home in an hour

11:08:35:23 11:08:40:05 04:07

if something happened.

I realized that on 9/11.

11:08:40:16 11:08:44:19 04:03

My first thought

was of how to get home quickly.

11:08:45:20 11:08:50:01 04:06

In America, I would go crazy from it.

11:08:52:03 11:08:54:20 02:17

Adriana comes back to Slovakia frequently

11:08:55:00 11:08:58:15 03:15

to continue

with her French Red Cross activities.

11:08:59:00 11:09:08:02 09:02

First we check if he is conscious.

If the mouth is clear, you give 2 breaths.

11:09:08:17 11:09:13:13 04:21

Adriana like the ambassador

of the Red Cross,

11:09:13:17 11:09:18:00 04:08

and in the end

come these beautiful women.

11:09:34:21 11:09:38:08 03:12

-You should have seen Adriana.

-You should have seen Miro.

11:09:38:13 11:09:44:20 06:07

Miro Šimoniè

Representative of the NEXT Agency

for the Czech and Slovak Republics

No, you should have been with her.

She came and didn't say a word all night.

11:09:44:24 11:09:48:07 03:08

I'm Adriana from Banska Bystrice

or from Brezno?

11:09:48:13 11:09:50:24 02:11

-From Brezno.

-From Brezno. I'm from Brezno.

11:09:51:03 11:09:53:04 02:01

And she sat there all night.

11:09:53:08 11:09:56:14 03:06

We enjoyed ourselves and Adriana just sat.

11:09:56:18 11:09:59:19 03:01

I'm very timid, shy.

11:10:00:15 11:10:03:06 02:16

She's one of Slovakia‘s

famous celebrities.

11:10:03:10 11:10:06:22 03:12

It was supported by

a survey on the most beautiful Slovak.

11:10:07:01 11:10:11:16 04:15

Adriana isn‘t just a model,

she's a celebrity.

11:10:11:20 11:10:16:07 04:12

No one did it for her, she worked for it.

11:10:16:23 11:10:21:18 04:20

She's got something. It's in all her work

11:10:22:09 11:10:26:22 04:13

in Red Cross, land mines, or Wonderbra

11:10:27:03 11:10:30:15 03:12

that she's the 1st to do 3 times in a row,

11:10:30:19 11:10:35:00 04:06

She's got charisma that attracts people

11:10:35:04 11:10:38:14 03:10

to what she can offer.

11:10:55:05 11:11:00:18 05:13

If she packed it in she'd stay at the top.

11:11:03:09 11:11:06:15 03:06

-You reached the top.

-You talk too much.

11:11:06:19 11:11:11:00 04:06

She's humble, she won't tell you

but it is the truth.

11:11:37:21 11:11:42:02 04:06

Popular people feel that everything is ok.

11:11:44:06 11:11:49:04 04:23

It's a good feeling

when people like you.

11:11:53:02 11:11:57:17 04:15

It's nice when they like you

for whatever reason,

11:11:58:00 11:12:02:15 04:15

whether it be because

of your character or work.

11:12:03:12 11:12:07:10 03:23

That because of what you do,

they like you. It's a good feeling.

11:12:08:11 11:12:14:05 05:19

I know it will end someday.

Maybe tomorrow, maybe in a month...

11:12:14:21 11:12:18:24 04:03

But I experienced it

and it was great.

11:12:27:13 11:12:31:05 03:17

Almost a year has passed

and Three Little Girls is being finished.

11:12:31:09 11:12:36:15 05:06

The premiere is at Champs Elysée

in the street she longed to see.

11:13:21:23 11:13:26:15 04:17

Grandma always took me to the orphanage

to play with the children there.

11:13:26:19 11:13:31:19 05:00

Grandpa was working,

she couldn't leave me home alone.

11:13:38:06 11:13:40:17 02:11

This is your grandmother.

11:13:40:21 11:13:44:08 03:12

And here's Zlatka Gazdíková.
