what a wonderful speech -- her performance in "Underground" is like a perfect symphony.
obozavam ovu zenu.volim njene filmove i uloge.mnogo smo izgubili njenim odlaskom
Neverovatan talenat, dubokoumnost i produhovljenost. Savrsena glumica i zena 💔
I'm only a minute and a half in your speech and you have spoken a divine truth that no one has ever said about acting. "It is a privilege and an honor to be an Actor because we are representing God's masterpiece, which is a human being." Masterfully said! Thank you Mirjana for your brave and wonderfully true words.
What a beautiful spirit! Gorgeous mind.
my fucking god, her english is fucking amazing
Idk how she managed to hide Serbian accent :)
It's still there... Not that heavy, but you can clearly hear she's from southeastern Europe. If I didn't know who she was, I think I would've guessed she was Serbian.
Bila i ostala najbolja i najlepša. Fantastična glumica.
What a meaningful, touching yet informative speech ❤️❤️
svetska glumica nema sta reci a posebno mi se svigja u ulozi vratice se rode pre lepa u toj ulozi bravo mirjana

I love she so much. And I think his English is good. Her posture and temperament is worth enjoying.
