Mana Zeniskova (1909-1982) was a Czech silent film star during the second half of the 1920s. In 1930, she married actor Theodor Pistek and, after four sound films, she chose to retire to raise a family. She came back on the screen only once in Cikanska laska (1938), which was co-directed by her husband. One of her children, Theodor Pistek Jr, won the Best Costume Oscar in 1985 for Milos Forman’s Amadeus.
