Comment: We need some clarification. At age 19, she's an adult capable of making her own decisions, so I'm not sure what secretly enrolling in acting classes means in this context. Bremps... 08:37, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
@Bremps, no further context is given in the source and given the year that she started studying at the Prague Conservatory (1919) I don't think we can assume 21st century ideas about parental control and adulthood. Pinging @SL93 for input. TarnishedPathtalk 09:46, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
BrempsTarnishedPath So people can't do things secretly when they become adults? SL93 (talk) 12:38, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
"Secret" implies something that is hidden for a reason, for instance conservative family, repressive govt., etc. However, there's an absence of elaboration in the text. See below. Bremps... 13:12, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
After adding another reference, I have ... that Slovak actress Hana Meličková(pictured) was featured on a postage stamp in 2000? SL93 (talk) 12:38, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
@SL93 given the subjects main reason for notability, I think your original hook is more interesting. TarnishedPathtalk 12:42, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
I found this - "Although Hana Meličková came from a culturally conscious Martin family and in her youth she played in the amateur association Slovak Singing Circle, but she preferred to keep her acting studies a secret from her family. She originally went to the Prague Conservatory to study piano, but in addition to it, she secretly enrolled in acting lessons." SL93 (talk) 12:50, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
Nice find, no further objections. Bremps... 13:14, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
