A mysterious message was left on the grave of Katja Tombos, who died almost five months ago at the end of May: The postcard tied to the headboard showed a boat floating on the water, likely a reference to the actress's famous song “Lonely.” The sound of the boat is heard in Valami Amerika 2.
“I was deeply moved by this sight, and felt as if my feet were rooted to the ground. I know from theatrical circles that everyone loved Katya, and she was referred to as a special girl with a wonderful sense of humour. I only saw her on stage once, but she charmed me. Of course I didn’t want I tried to touch the greeting card, but when I approached it I was able to read the first line written on it.
Someone wrote a long letter to the artist in a self-deprecating manner.
It started with the fact that unfortunately they were never able to meet in person. Since then I've been wondering who left the message there. It must be someone who was greatly influenced by the art of Katja Tombos” – He said To Bors by a reader who discovered the letter while visiting Farkasret Cemetery and sent the newspaper some recent photographs of the grave.
Messages have been left on Katia Tombos' grave before
At the time, Katia Tombos, who died aged 41, was buried in secret, with only her close family, friends and colleagues attending the ceremony. Besides, an equally mysterious message appeared on the grave immediately after the funeral, a poem written in black pen, which, according to the signature, had been left there by someone named H. Ferdinand – but she didn't reveal who he was.
A few lines of the letter at that time quickly became indistinct, and the readable portion read something like this: “Or is there something greater to travel to the stars? And to catch your eyes with blinding brightness… and in the vastness of space you will find me and yourself.”
Recently, Petra Jobek remembered Katja Tombos
Kátya Tompos was recently remembered in Sztár at the Sztár All Stars, where Petra Gubik performed Lonely Boat in the final – perhaps this had something to do with the fact that the postcard had just appeared on Kátya Tompos' grave.
