She also worked as a screenwriter, director, journalist, and actress (she played Rachel in Stanisław Wyspiański's "Wesele" directed by Adam Hanuszkiewicz). She received the title Master of Polish Speech. As a vocalist, she debuted in the 1960s in Warsaw student cabarets. She remained permanently associated with songs that won her first competition awards: "Jeśli myślisz, że ja cię nie kocham" (music by Wojciech Knittel, lyrics by Andrzej Woyciechowski) earned her recognition at the Winter Song Exchange, and "Koncert jesienny na dwa świerszcze i wiatr w kominie" (music by Krzysztof Knittel, lyrics by Wojciech Niżyński) won awards at the FAMA festival and the Polish Song Festival in Opole. She sang intimately, also whispering and meloreciting, caring about the meaning of every word.
