The famous actress of the Soviet and Russian theater and cinema, People’s Artist, owner of more than a dozen prestigious film awards, writer, founder and director of her own theater - all this is perfectly combined in one person, the most beautiful woman Alla Demidova.
Childhood
The family of Alla Sergeyevna Demidova (born September 29, 1936) goes back to the famous gold miners, which was the reason for the repression of her father, whom the girl almost did not remember. Having left for the war, Sergey Demidov died, and the daughter's upbringing fell entirely on the shoulders of her mother - Alexandra Kharchenko.
The desire to become an actress, and certainly great, appeared in the girl at an early age. Her whole subsequent life was aimed at fulfilling her childhood dream.
At school, as usual, she attended rehearsals of a drama club, dreamed of significant roles and was upset that she had to play boys.
It was not possible to get to the theater university the first time, they refused because of diction.
Obtaining a diploma from Moscow State University and a short time working in a specialty did not suppress a passionate desire to become an actress. The second attempt to enter the Shchukin school was successful, not even a slight lisp did not prevent.
Theater
Even after receiving the “red diploma” after graduating from “Pike”, Alla couldn’t get into the desired theater, and went “wherever she got it” - to the Taganka Theater. There was no spiritual relationship with the director Yuri Lyubimov, for a long time she played minor roles in the crowd. Already here the talent and character of the aspiring actress manifested, she was noticed by the viewer, and her difficult road to fame began.
Gradually, Demidova took a leading position and became the leading actress of the theater, although, according to the recognition of the actress, he still did not fully reveal her acting capabilities. The result was her departure in the late 80s to the director Roman Viktyuk.
In the difficult for the theater of the 90s, the actress takes a risky step - she opens her own theater "A" and through her collaboration with the Greek director Theodoros Terzopoulos realizes her understanding of the stage image and the role of the actor in the production process.
The actress's unique determination and pronounced tragedy helped her to prove herself in poetic reading - the verses in her performance sound like finished dramatic works.
Movie
Not attaching great importance to cinema as a great art, Alla Demidova managed to create a large number of beautiful and memorable roles on television and movie screens.
Her film career began in 1957, when she received an invitation to play in the Leningrad Symphony. Widespread fame came with the release of the painting "Shield and Sword". Subsequently, there were many roles significant and not very.
In the 90s, many directors wanted to see her on their sites, but the actress refused to star in base films, where the emphasis was on her fame, and not on the depth of the role.
