Katya Paskaleva(1945-2002)

Katya Paskaleva played in 46 pictures in less than four decades. Her name turned into a synonym of the Bulgarian cinema. Her female characters are not glossy beauties, they win us over through the melancholic grace of Madonnas. She broke up the relief of Bulgarian cinema femininity and recreated the most arduous epitome filmed in Bulgaria ever - the one of Maria-the-mother and Maria-the-daughter in The Goat Horn (1972, director Metodi Andonov).
