Born on 18 December 1946 in Jesenice, Slovenia, Zupan\u010di\u010d attended primary school in Bohinjska Bela before continuing her high school education in Jesenice, where, while still a teenager, her desire to become an actress first took root. In 1965, she started her drama studies at the Academy of Drama Arts (AIU) in Ljubljana with Prof V. Juvan, where she graduated in 1969 with the role of Claire in the graduation production of Jean Genet&#8217;s <em>The Maids<\/em>. She became a member of the Ljubljana City Theatre in 1969, followed by the Slovenian National Theatre (SNT) Drama Ljubljana in 1979. From 1985 to 1987, she worked for the Mladinsko Theatre before going freelance in 1987\u20131988. In 1989, she rejoined the SNT Drama Ljubljana, where she stayed until retirement. Throughout her career, she appeared in virtually all Slovenian professional theatres, as well as in many theatres in former Yugoslavia and independent productions.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid\" ><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-8\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While her body of work for theatre is undeniably impressive, Zupan\u010di\u010d made her acting debut in cinema, playing a student in Matja\u017e Klopi\u010di\u010d\u2019s Oxygen (1970). But it was her roles as Meta Prese\u010dnik in <em>Blossoms in Autumn<\/em> (1973) and Ms \u017da\u0161ler in <em>The Widowhood of Karolina \u017da\u0161ler<\/em> (1976), both also directed by Klop\u010di\u010d, that etched Milena Zupan\u010di\u010d\u2019s name in the Slovenian collective psyche. That said, it would be unfair only to list her most prominent acting creations. In more than five decades of appearances on film and TV screens, Zupan\u010di\u010d has been cast in more than 80 roles, working with the most highly acclaimed figures of Yugoslavian cinema. In her works, she pushed the boundaries of what was considered conventional film acting. On behalf of the Screen Actors Guild of Slovenia, which nominated Zupan\u010di\u010d for the award, actor Brane Zavr\u0161an noted: \u201cMilena Zupan\u010di\u010d\u2019s complex personality is always distilled into this superb actor\u2019s staggering versatility, her roles ranging from \u2018the ideal of a pure young woman troubled by her sexual awakening&#8217;, to rebellious social outcasts, socially critical, experimental, new-wave roles or compelling historical heroines, polished performances in comedy, satire, or romantic comedies, back to tragic roles of women fully cognizant of their fates, or the sensual, lascivious femme fatale. In all these, she demonstrates sensibility and perfection as an actor, bringing to life carefully crafted, deeply felt roles. Zupan\u010di\u010d can work in a variety of styles and genres, always depicting women in all their complexity, along with contradictions, her delivery natural and compelling. But being aware of her mission, she masterfully subjects this to the overall message of the film. Never seeking refuge in tried and tested methods, her acting has continually grown in sync with the developing art of contemporary cinema.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For her work in cinema and TV, Zupan\u010di\u010d has won dozens of awards, including one Silver and two Gold Arenas at the Pula film festival (1973, 1976, 1977), multiple Carica Teodora Awards at the Ni\u0161 film festival (1973, 1976, 1977, 1985), two Actress of the Year Awards at the Festival of Slovenian Film (1976, 1985), the SEE Actress Award for contribution to Slovenian and Yugoslavian cinema at the South East European Film Festival (Berlin, Paris 2019), the honorary Aleksandar Lifka Award for outstanding contribution to European cinema at the European Film Festival (Pali\u0107, 2019), and the Bert Award for Lifetime Achievements in film acting. In addition to awards in cinema, Milena Zupan\u010di\u010d has also received the Bor\u0161tnik Ring Award (1999), the Pre\u0161eren Award for lasting contribution to Slovenian culture (1993), and the Golden Order of Merit for her body of work in Slovenian theatre and cinema and her tireless efforts in support of the culture of solidarity, presented to her in 2016 by the President of the Republic of Slovenia, Mr Borut Pahor.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img width=\"2329\" height=\"3500\" src=\"https:\/\/fsf.si\/2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/milena_zupancic_1.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>With her work that reaches beyond cinema and theatre, Milena Zupan\u010di\u010d has left a lasting mark in Slovenia\u2019s cultural and social landscape.
