Honored Artist of Russia Ekaterina Lvovna Durova is a bright representative of the famous domestic dynasty of actors. And to the circus Durovs she also has a very direct relationship. However, the creative path of the popular artist is associated exclusively with her own talents, which is reflected in several dozen of her theater projects and film works.
The leading actress of the theater on Malaya Bronnaya - Ekaterina Lvovna Durova - in the full sense is an original artist, despite the genetic connection with the legendary parents. Ironically, the offspring of a family of hereditary noblemen spent all their childhood in a boarding school under the care of the state with all the ensuing consequences in the form of special survivability, rigidity and clear life values that exclude meaningless tinsel of everyday life.
Short biography and career of Ekaterina Lvovna Durova
A gifted actress and daughter of famous parents - Lev Konstantinovich Durov and Ekaterina Lvovna Durova - was born in Moscow on July 25, 1959. Since the star couple constantly spent time on the set, and they didn’t have other relatives who were ready to take up the upbringing of the girl, the state educational institution with a five-day regime assumed the entire burden of responsibility for the child. During this period of time, Katya was very happy if her parents could take her with them on tour.
Despite the fact that the boarding school was with an English bias, which equated it with the most status in Soviet times, this institution was a typical school of survival. Since then, Ekaterina Lvovna has remained, for example, a habit is very fast there, which is not very aesthetically pleasing, but practical. After all, to remain without food due to a weak survival skill generally puts the entire existence of the individual at risk.
Since 1976, when Durova graduated from high school, a new milestone in her life begins. After an unsuccessful attempt to enter the Moscow Art Theater School, Catherine was still able to become a student of GITIS, which she graduated in 1980. With a diploma of higher acting education, she was part of the Taganka Theater troupe until 1984, after which she was transferred to the theater on Malaya Bronnaya, which until now is her second home.
In cinema, Ekaterina Lvovna made her debut in 1977 with the film "School Waltz", where she played a nurse. And then there was already the main role in the film "Fantasy Faryatiev", which was released in 1979. Following this was a minor role in the legendary Soviet film "The Green Van" and several film works in "Jumble", where she was regularly invited by Boris Grachevsky.
Currently, Durova has over forty film works and a lot of theatrical productions, which made her the Honored Artist of Russia.
