[1] Helena Grossówna is believed to have begun her career as an extra in the operetta The Csárdás Princess, directed by Witold Zdzitowiecki, which premiered at the Municipal Theater in Toruń on December 6, 1924.

In 1928, she moved to Paris to continue her ballet training under Russian ballerinas of Polish descent Matylda Krzesińska and Bronisława Niżyńska.

That same year, she married Jan Gierszał, a businessman and art patron, and they settled in a property near Paris previously owned by Pola Negri, the Hollywood star of Polish origin.

Her notable roles include Piętro wyżej (1937), where she played the love interest of Eugeniusz Bodo, and Paweł i Gaweł (1938), where she sang the lullaby "Ach, śpij kochanie" with Adolf Dymsza.

Grossówna was one of the most popular stars of pre-war Polish cinema, forming a memorable trio on screen with Bodo and Dymsza.

Pre-war press often described her as embodying "a Venus type, increasingly rare, with perfect oval features, fair complexion, and dreamy, tender eyes," attributes that captivated audiences.
