Klaudia Dudová

Dudová was born in Levice, Czechoslovakia, and then her parents moved to Brno and then to Ústí nad Labem.

During elementary school, Dudová was a part of the Jeketana dance club, with which she won Roma competitions and festivals.

[1] She was noticed by director Petr Václav at a Romani party, who offered her a role since he was looking for actresses for his film The Way Out.

[2] On 1 April 2015, the Czech newspaper Mladá fronta Dnes published an article with the headline "Roma star actor did not pay for apartment" by editor Artur Janoušek on its front page.

Due to criticism, the editorial staff of the newspaper subsequently changed the headline to "Award-winning star of the film The Way Out owes rent",[3] but the editor-in-chief, Jaroslav Plesl, defended both the headline and the placement of the article on the front page.
