Biography of Izabella Scorupco

Izabella Scorupco is a Polish actress who was born on June 4, 1970, in the small town of Bialystok in the northern part of the then Polish People's Republic. Her mother worked as a therapist, while her father played jazz in the only restaurant in Bialystok. When Izabella turned one year old, her parents divorced, and she remained living with her mother.

In 1978, they moved to Stockholm, where Scorupco began actively pursuing music and even tried her hand at writing plays. By the time she was 17 years old, she could sing, dance, and speak four languages fluently. With such talent, it was only a matter of time before she made her mark on the world.

The perfect opportunity presented itself when a Swedish film director named Staffan Hildebrandt stumbled upon the school where Izabella was studying for some unknown reason. The charismatic Polish girl bombarded him with questions about cinema and then went on to propose that he cast her in the lead role of his new film, based on her own screenplay. The script told the story of a girl who sets off to the north to find her father. Scorupco convinced Hildebrandt that the film would be excellent.

For unknown reasons, in 1988, the film "Nobody Loves Like Us" was released, marking Izabella Scorupco's debut in the film industry. However, the movie did not achieve much success, so in the early 90s, Scorupco decided to focus on her music career. Her solo album "IZA" became a gold record in Sweden. In 1992, she appeared in several episodes of the Swedish TV series "Single Mother." By that time, she was already a well-known fashion model in Europe, largely due to her ability to speak fluently in all major European languages.

In 1994, Izabella Scorupco married Polish hockey player Mariusz Czerkawski. Just a year later, Czerkawski was invited to join the NHL, and the couple moved to the United States. This move marked the beginning of Scorupco's Hollywood film career. Her most famous role to date is that of Natalya Simonova in the seventeenth James Bond film, "GoldenEye".
