Filmov\u00fd sv\u011bt si ji skute\u010dn\u011b v\u0161iml v\u00a0roce 1947, kdy ji re\u017eis\u00e9r Karel Stekl\u00fd obsadil do d\u011blnick\u00e9ho dramatu Sir\u00e9na podle rom\u00e1nu Marie Majerov\u00e9.

V roce 1951\u00a0p\u0159i\u0161lo to, co ka\u017ed\u00fd dodnes zn\u00e1, i\u00a0kdy\u017e si to mnoz\u00ed neuv\u011bdomuj\u00ed.

Werich si ji pro tu roli vy\u017e\u00e1dal osobn\u011b a\u00a0nelitoval.<\/p>\n
V pades\u00e1t\u00fdch letech ji, jako t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 ka\u017ed\u00e9ho, tla\u010dili do propagandistick\u00fdch film\u016f, kter\u00e9 m\u011bly slou\u017eit komunistick\u00e9mu obrazu sv\u011bta.
