Maya Angelou Explains Her Name

In this episode of MCC we interview model, actress and stunt woman, Helena Mankowska. Originally from Sopot, Poland, she has made her home in Barcelona for the past several years. Since then, Helena has appeared in commercials and ad campaigns, as well as various short films and music videos. She was the stunt double for actress Mila Jovovich of The 5th Element and Resident Evil fame in Jovovich’s latest movie, Paradise Hills, but it was Helena’s latest role as a face model for the character of Lady Dimitrescu in the Resident Evil Village video game by Capcom that brought her international recognition, and fans from all around the world.
