Helena Mankowska - Face Of Lady Dimitrescu
Actress, model, director, and Lady Dimitrescu face model Helena Mankowska joins Matt Hurtado on Virtual Soundscapes to talk about her unexpected connection to one of Resident Evil’s most iconic characters. Helena shares her reaction to seeing Lady Dimitrescu for the first time, the sudden attention that followed Resident Evil Village, and how stepping into Lady D’s costume helped her connect with the character in her own way. She also discusses the pressures that came with that newfound visibility and why taking time away from social media became so important. The conversation also explores Helena’s new Pressure Off Project, created to encourage people to put less pressure on themselves, reconnect with what matters to them, and be more comfortable simply being themselves. Helena talks candidly about building the project from the ground up and her desire to use her work to create something meaningful and positive for others. From Lady Dimitrescu to finding purpose beyond the camera, it’s a conversation about unexpected success, identity, pressure, and using your platform to make a difference.
