Linda Rybová and Saša Rašilov have their stars on the Zlín Walk of Fame
03. June 2025
The Walk of Fame at the Grand Cinema in Zlín has two new star tiles. On Tuesday, the stars of actress Linda Rybová and actor Saša Rašilov were unveiled - two personalities who began their cinematic journey as children and are still among the stalwarts of the Czech acting sky. Their names were thus inscribed on the 43rd and 44th stars of the prestigious walkway, which was created in cooperation between the festival and the Kapka naděje Foundation.
Linda Rybová first appeared in front of the camera at the age of thirteen in the film My Friend d'Artagnan. Since then, she has played a number of roles in fairy tales and children's films such as The Witches of Suburbia, The Frog Prince and The Healing Water. She was nominated for the Czech Lion for her supporting role in The Dark Blue World.
I am very happy about the star on the Walk of Fame, especially because I love old Czech fairy tales and children's films. It's a great honour for me,
said Linda Rybová.
Saša Rašilov, who comes from a famous acting family, made his mark on the audience with his role in the film The Years of the Jackal. He is also known for his performances in the fairy tales The Magic Purse and The Flintlock. A significant part of his career has been dubbing - he lent his voice to Mickey Mouse and Willy Wonka in the film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He won the František Filipovský Award for dubbing and was nominated for the Czech Lion for his supporting role in Arvéd.
I'm really happy, I was very happy to come to Zlín. I like the festival, the children, the city, I am happy that Gottwaldov is no more, I like Bata, the Zlín theatre, Wallachia, Valachy... and I married a Wallachian woman,
Saša Rašilov said.
The Walk of Fame in Zlín was created in 2006 as part of the accompanying programme of the Zlín Film Festival and has since become a traditional place where personalities who started their film career at an early age are honoured.
