Youth The early childhood of Magda Konopka (then still Małgorzata Kołączkowska) was in the triangle of Szczawnica, Zakopane and Warsaw. In Szczawnica, the family had a family home in the villa Grażyna, in the center of the town (today there are Delikatesy Centrum), and in Zakopane, the mother owned a guest house. "Janeczka". For some time my father ordained in the local (Zakopane) hospital, and at the end of the war he worked in However, the relationship between the parents began to deteriorate fairly quickly. Her father - Dr. Zbigniew Kołączkowski was an incorrigible womanizer, and each stay at the spa provided him with a supply of fresh "pick-up" objects. The handsome and wealthy doctor had a few Western-made cars (including a convertible - a sports BMW 328) and in the context of post-war poverty he presented himself as attractive as a prince from a fairy tale. When the doctor married another woman, and a child was born from that relationship, the mother divorced with his father in 1953. Since then, the girl lived with her mother, separated from her father and very rarely she came to Szczawnica. In 1959, she was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, at the painting department. But even then she showed a passion for partying, sparkling with great beauty in the world of young Krakow Bohema. And then she probably stopped being a polite girl - the family legend of the Kołączkowski family says that when Magda's father unexpectedly appeared in Krakow, the Tomaszewskis (local relatives of the Kołączkowski family) organized a feverish search for a student who had a party in the pub Jama Michalikowa with the cheerful company of the famous actor Ryszard Barycz. And it was a merry company, - her grandmother was friends with the singer Ada Sari (she came from Stary Sącz) and many famous artists, especially actors, such as Danuta Szaflarska, who grew up in nearby Piwniczna, visited her family home. However, Magda - then Małgorzata interrupted her studies and went abroad. The mother sold the property and went to London on a Polish merchant ship with her daughter. The ship's captain helped them hide their valuables and they could happily start a new, difficult life as an emigrant.
