Biography
Andrzej Łapicki (11 November 1924 – 21 July 2012) was a Polish film actor, theater director and actor. He enjoyed a long career, appearing in 50 films between 1947 and 1999. Łapicki also served a term in the Sejm as a member of KO "Solidarity" after the 1989 Polish elections.
Łapicki was born to Zofia (nee Fromont) and Borys Łapicki, a professor and lecturer of Roman law at the universities of Saratov and Yaroslavl. When the family left Soviet Russia in 1922, they travelled to Poland through Latvia, where Andrzej was born, and Lithuania, and later worked at the University of Warsaw and the University of Łódź. However, they maintained close contact with the part of the family that remained in Latvia and spent the summers with Łapicki's aunt in Rīgas Jūrmala. In his last years, he wrote columns in the Polish press, where he described his childhood memories from Latvia with very warm feelings.Łapicki played a large amount of roles on Polish theater stages. As an actor and director, the work of the 19th century Polish comedy writer Aleksander Fredro was especially close to him. He was a tutor, and later, rector (1981–1987 and 1993–1996) of the National Academy of Dramatic Art in Warsaw.He was married twice. His first marriage to Zofia Chrząszczewska lasted from 1947 to her death in 2005. He then married theatrologist Kamila Mścichowska in 2009 and remained with her until his death.
