  • Lithuanian journalist Edita Mildažytė says her autobiography, “Honey of Wormwood,” has achieved strong sales, with reprints and sold-out events in Lithuania and the United States.
  • She will return to Delfi TV this autumn with “Pas Editą,” a program that will interview people who have overcome addictions.
  • Mildažytė says she has considered plastic surgery because television requires a certain appearance, but fear, lack of time and uncertainty about whom to choose have stopped her.

Edita Mildažytė is returning to television after a successful year, but the veteran journalist says she is also thinking more than ever about how she looks on screen, including whether to undergo plastic surgery.

During a visit to her country estate, Mildažytė rejected the idea that she had pursued prestige. She said the large building that leads visitors to imagine a manor is actually a farm structure built from old barns. “People here are confused by the large building and everyone imagines that it is some kind of manor, but in fact it is a farm building, and it was built from old farms,” she said on the program “Everyday Heroes.”

Mildažytė, who turned 60, said the year had been exceptionally successful. Her autobiography, “Honey of Wormwood,” received several reprints and drew full audiences in Lithuania and the United States. This autumn, she will return to Delfi TV with the popular program “Pas Editą,” which will change its focus by speaking with people who have overcome various addictions.

I miss producing programs. I think I have the strength and can produce them.

— Edita MildažytėShe explains why she is returning to television.

She said she had missed television production and believed she still had the energy to work. At the same time, she acknowledged the appearance pressures that come with the job. “I keep thinking about whether I should have, for example, plastic surgery,” she said. She has not done so because she is afraid, lacks the time and does not know whom to turn to. A quick, painless procedure with a reliable result could change her mind.

Mildažytė compared a television program to a performance or film, where visual presentation forms part of the whole. Next year will mark 40 years since she began working as a journalist. She said that experience allows her to quickly recognize whether an interviewee is sincere and willing to live authentically.
