There are such people - in life, it seems, they are not very "stellar", but other stars would not have been able to ignite without them.
Sergey Nikonenko, the husband of Ekaterina Alekseevna and many acquaintances and strangers, are visitors to the museum of Sergei Yesenin, which was created including through the efforts of the actress, to fully agree with these words.
Catherine was born in 1946 in Moscow. Nothing is known about her childhood. Journalists know that Voronin never gives frank interviews, does not talk about his past and personal life. She has a firm stance on this score: all that the press needs to know about her life can be told by her husband. And she has nothing to add.
Apparently, the acting couple is afraid that the presentation of information by modern media can be used as black PR, and not as facts. Probably, for this reason, little is known about Catherine’s student years: she entered VGIK at the acting department, in 1970 she graduated from it. Having received the specialty "theater and film actress", Voronina joined the film studio named after Gorky.
Movie career
Ekaterina Voronina, a member of the Union of Cinematographers of Russia and a member of the Guild of Russian Film Actors, does not have a rich track record in the film industry: there are 30 roles, most of which are in the background.
However, many viewers are sure that the potential of the actress is not fully disclosed, and if there was such an opportunity, Catherine could play more main and larger roles, create many unique images.
In the meantime, the audience saw her only in episodes in the film "Office Romance" (1977) as an employee of the statistical department, in the film "Do not part with your loved ones" (1979) as Shumilova, which the audience did not really remember, despite the noisy success of these films.
However, there are two paintings in which the audience could watch the subtle, ironic and touching game of Voronina. This is the film “Fir-trees-sticks” (1988) directed by Nikonenko, where he and his wife played together: he is a failed philosopher, she is Lyuba, a dressmaker in love with him. Catherine so accurately depicted the experiences of a woman who is not noticed by her beloved man, that looking at her, not one woman cried over her bitter fate. Moreover, in the role of Lyuba there was so much humor that watching this film is a pleasure.
The second film, where Voronina’s task was even more difficult, was the film “I Want Your Husband” (1992), in which she starred with Mikhail Zadornov: he is a husband, she is a wife. And a very young girl came to take Zadornova away from her - naive and very beautiful. She directly asked for a husband to give her, to which the wise woman agreed. But at the same time gave him such a characteristic
The grace of depicting the experiences of a deceived wife, who at the same time plans to deceive her husband and lover, is beyond praise.
Together with Sergei Nikonenko, Ekaterina also played in the film “I Don't Want to Marry” and others. Basically, she starred in her husband’s films after he switched from acting to directing.
Yeseninsky Center
Her husband, Sergei Nikonenko, and everyone who knows her, call Ekaterina Alekseevna "a man of great soul." Facts confirm this definition: in 1996, Voronin and Nikonenko, at their own expense, opened the Sergei Yesenin Cultural Center on Arbat.
It so happened that Nikonenko’s apartment was not far from the former apartment of the poet Yesenin. When the couple arrived there, they were struck by the rout that prevailed there. Immediately, it was decided in this apartment to create a memorial place dedicated to Yesenin. Moreover, in his youth Sergey Nikonenko brilliantly played his role in the film "Sing a Song, Poet
."(1971). We can say that Catherine invested in the creation of the center a particle of her love for her husband and his work.
For a year and a half, they upholstered the thresholds of officials, seeking the transfer of an apartment from a residential to non-residential fund. And when it finally happened, they made repairs at their own expense, and the Yesenin Center began to work. Ekaterina Voronina has become the executive director here and remains them now, despite her advanced age
