Can you think of any famous Polish personalities?

Give a few of your first associations...

actually polish, or from polish heritage in another country.

Polish people who were born in Poland...

Can you think of any famous Polish personalities?


Yes, ALL of them :)

Wojtek Wolski plays for the Avalanche :)

Andrew Golota, sucks at boxing

What's that one directors name that married a 15 year old or something to that affect :)

Roman Polanski?

thats it :)

I just read about him in the news. He was complaining about something or other at Cannes Film Festival and he got up and left.

yeah, told all the journalists at the press conference they were dumb :)

which is quite right, most of the time

nice to see new girl asking such 'encyclopedic' questions, Aleksandra

edit: just thought about one should be on the list: Ludwig Fleck

isnt there another director - the one who did three colours red/white/blue? im not sure if hes married to a 15 year old as well

my workfriends used to ask about Zbygniew Boniek as if i knew him personally (im 31) but i know nothing about football

How about Kim Novak, actress and Bobby Vinton, pop singer.

Joseph Conrad and Jack the Ripper.

Only a possibility, but a good one. [In my opinion.]

the only one i can think of is adam however his surname is spelt im really tired tonight - it is the ski jumper anyways!

Yep, but I'm not sure if we should promote our country through such controversial characters.... What the hell: Theodore Kaczynski alias the Unabomber, Leon Czolgosz - killer of president William McKinley, George Adamski - the first man who managed to take a photo of a UFO... and last but not least the horrible Wachowski brothers, or should I say a sister and a brother? :)) Of course those all are Americans, but still... :)

The guy off the stella advert :)

Are you talking about the one with the priests? Because all the actors in that advert were actually polish. :)

PS: Nice to see you again Ama. :))

lol I thought only one of the priest was Polish so that makes 3/4 famous Polish people then :)

Nice to see you too Mr M, how's the studying going?

Chopin anyone?

Ohh come on, that's too obvious. Erich von Manstein (von Lewinski) - the co-author of the plan on invading Poland, France, etc... one of the most prominent commanders of Nazi Germany's armed forces. :)


Hehe... It's OK. Actually I should be studying right now, but I'm such a lazy sod. :))

And how are you? ß I’m really being interested. None of that British small talk nonsense. :P

Ahhh yes.
Nocturne In E Flat Major, Op.9 No.2 Please.

Obvious but not mentioned ;)

He was Prussian not Polish

Martha Stewart was born Martha Helen Kostyra to Polish parents

His roots were definitely Polish. He came from a Germanized polish family, Lewinski... but just like Unabomber was American, he was German. Don't take my posts so seriously. :)

I admire the Polish actress Joanna Pacula. She is my definition of a real woman. She has personality, talent, gorgeous looks, along with a perfect physique!

Does Karol Wojtyla count?

and there's the goalkeeper Lukas Fabianski who'll soon be joining Arsenal Football club

Floyd Mayweather !

Pawel kowolski

Marinka Mnishek ;-(((

the former Pope :)
