The winner of the competition We are looking for new talents

Since then, it has been very well proceeded and continued its singing and acting successes. In the same year, she starred with the "Red River" hit. A year later, in 1965, thanks to this hit and the well -known song "Fifth" became a golden celebration.

Member of the Music Trio Golden Kids

Vondráčková inherently includes working in the Golden Kids singing trio. The co -founder of this group was recognized by the singer thanks to his engagement at the Rokoko Theater. It was here that she met singer Marta Kubišová and a young promising singer Václav Neckář. She also played with him in a very successful Czech film fairy tale "Madly Sad Princess". In her, she plays a madly sad princess because of her love for her Prince Václav Neckář. This film fairy tale was created by a beautiful song “I know one old garden”.

Mega -star Helena

But the successful era of the singing trio did not last long. Due to the ban on the activities of one of the singers, Marta Kubišová, the band had to stop their activities. After the collapse, Vondráčková joined the solo track. In the age of 70, she became the most exported Czech singer, her albums were filmed for foreign countries such as Japan, Turkey and West Germany. In addition to the singing career, she also continued on the screen - in 1977 she flashed next to Luděk Sobota in the film "Just let him be afraid".

Contradictions in the family and the second marriage

After divorce with the first husband Hellmut Sickel, the successful singer looked into Martin Michal twelve years younger. She first met him on her holiday, when she was introduced as a second pilot at the airport, love broke out only later. Unfortunately, her second husband became the reason for the disagreement between Helena and her family. The marriage volume was mainly her brother Jiří Vondráček, father of Lucie Vondráčková. This successful singer has not visited her aunt for more than 20 years and does not plan to do so.

According to Jiří Vondráček, with a successful singer, entrepreneur Martin Michal wanted to marry only for zištných reasons. He described his future brother -in -law as Gigol, and with that, Helena Vondráčková did not identify herself. He has been with her current husband for many years and it looks like it will remain so. Vondráčková's husband has been supporting her not only in her music career, but also in long -term court disputes that are not enough.

A lover of lawsuits

Perhaps in the Czech music scene we would not find anyone who had as many court disputes on the notes, as this highly successful singer has. She got to the tribunal many times - whether against her colleagues in the industry, various media and critics for defamation, and with the state. The most famous cases are an action for music critic Jan Rejžek for statements against Vondráčková and disputes with Marta Kubišová for a joint tour that eventually did not take place.

Helena Vondráčková's first court dispute was in 2001 with the mentioned music critic Jan Rejžek. Vondráčková, together with her husband (owned by MM Praha, which represents Vondráčková) sued for the statement that her re -success was only because she has constant contacts for mafia from the 1970s and 80s. The Vondráčková family did not escape the action. Jiří Vondráček also received a criminal complaint from the singer's husband as a statement that he had described entrepreneurs Michal as an untrustworthy person. The last lawsuit led to the state due to the amount of pension granted.
