(1927-1977)
Prolific character actor, best remembered for his roles in comedies also starring Jan Himilsbach. In the 1960s, Maklakiewicz appeared in strong supporting or episodic roles in almost fifty films, including works by Jerzy Skolimowski (The Barrier, 1966), Tadeusz Konwicki (Somersault, 1965), and Wojciech J. Has (The Doll, 1968). He received popular acclaim and cult actor status in 1970 when he acted together with Himilsbach in the successful The Cruise, directed by Marek Piwowski. Later both actors cemented their popularity in Andrzej Kondratiuk's productions: the television cult film The Ascended (1973) and How It Is Done (1973).
