Maria Szabłowska wrote about Zbigniew Korpolewski: "I once said that he is the most attentive and witty witness to the history of Polish show business. And Zbyszek said that he is a crown witness and therefore counts on a lighter sentence. Dear Author, we, the readers, will be punished if you do not seriously write down everything you have experienced. I hope that the biography of Hanka Bielicka, for whom you wrote so many monologues and whose director and friend you were, is only the beginning of your "statements".
