Much in a person’s life depends on the family, on parents: what they invest in a child from childhood will sooner or later bear fruit. Parents of Vera Sotnikova instilled in children a love of art, and it was thanks to this that they brought up the future star of cinema and theater.

After school, Vera entered the Saratov Theater School, but she was not accepted. Then the girl returned home and sat down in French - she planned to enter the Moscow State University, in foreign languages. However, this time it was not possible to act due to a lack of necessary documents.
And then fate played a joke with Vera. The girl decided without preparation to go for an audition at the school named after Shchukin. She did not hope for luck, therefore she behaved calmly and relaxed. And a miracle happened - she did. True, a member of the commission Andrei Myagkov had a hand in a miracle - he saw the inclinations in Sotnikova.
