Biography
He was the son of Jan Kałużyński and Helena née Grafczyńska. His father was a bank clerk who abandoned the family, and his mother was a pianist and music teacher. After his mother's death in June 1931, he was raised by his uncle, Tadeusz Grafczyński, in Lublin. He studied law at the University of Warsaw and theatre direction at the Państwowy Instytut Sztuki Teatralnej.
During the Nazi occupation of Poland he befriended Bogdan Paprocki whom he accompanied and performed with him at clandestine concerts in Lublin and Nałęczów.
In the years 1990–2000, together with Tomasz Raczek, he hosted a television series on TVP2 entitled Perły z lamusa, in which films were presented and discussed.
In 1961 he was registered as Security Service confidential contact whose codename was "Literat". His cooperation with the Security Service lasted until 1970. In 1987, the Security Service reestablished contact with him, registering him as an secret collaborator. Zygmunt Kałużyński broke off the collaboration after a few months.
He was married twice, for the first time with Julia Hartwig, for the second time with Eleanor Griswold, actress.
Kałużyński died on 30 September 2004.
