Slovak actress Zdena Studenková has shared details regarding her personal history and life philosophy. In her book ‘Som herečka’, co-authored with Ján Štrasser, she reflected on the difficulties of her first marriage to photographer Ivan Kostroň. She noted that while she admired his talent, the relationship was undermined by his struggle with alcohol addiction.

In subsequent interviews, Studenková expanded on these reflections, describing the trauma of that nine month marriage and her enduring fear of living with an individual struggling with addiction. She also discussed her later relationships, including her time with director Stanislav Párnický and her relationship with conductor Braňo Kostka. Additionally, she touched upon her upbringing in a poor household, the influence of her mother and grandmother, and her personal views on mortality.
