Solska made her debut under the name of Irena Górska, playing the title role in a production of Friedrich Halm's Count René at the Victoria Theatre in Łódź. One of her most famous roles was that of Psyche in Eros and Psyche, based on Apuleius' Cupid and Psyche, which she performed for twenty years of her career.
Solska was married to Ludwik Solski, also a Polish stage director. After divorcing him, she married Otton Grosser, a colonel in the Polish army and during World War II a member of the anti-Nazi resistance Home Army.

in love with this woman, she was called the “femme fatale.”
