The actress remains an actress, even if she leaves the scene. For example, as Irina Feofanova, who shares her experience with future actors. She played in the theater, starred in many TV shows and feature films, and then decided that the role of theatrical teacher suits her best.
Irina was born in Penza in 1966, her parents were builders. In this small city, her childhood passed, and then the Feofanov family moved to Moscow. Children went to school, parents worked, and no one suspected that the future actress lives next to them.
On the contrary, Irina had great success in natural subjects, she studied at a school with a biomedical bias, so she was told the future of the scientist. No one knew that in a newsstand the girl caught the eye of a card with a beautiful woman in a luxurious hat. She thought that only an actress can look like that, which means she should become the same. This happened in the sixth grade, although the dream seemed unrealistic: Irina grew shy, even afraid to go to the blackboard in the classroom.
This is probably why Feofanova didn’t enter the theater, but the construction university, and at the same time passed the entrance exam to the theater studio "On Usachevka". Having entered the magical world of the theater, Irina was no longer able to study in construction - she took the documents and went to work as a postman, so that there was something to live for.
In her life, a happy accident occurred: she was invited by Edward Radzinsky to the main role in one of the productions. At this time, she gained good experience and soon entered the “Sliver”. From the second year, Irina began playing in the Maly Theater, as well as in the Moscow Regional Drama Theater.
Movie career
Irina liked the theater very much, and rather according to custom, than by will, she placed her photo in the Mosfilm file cabinet. Here a second miracle happened: when she came to audition for Karen Shakhnazarov, in the corridor she ran into Edgar Hadzhikyan, who immediately took her to the main role. It was the film "Without Limitation", where Irina played the daughter of an enemy agent.
At that time, she starred with many star actors, gaining even more experience. She was particularly impressed with the collaboration with Innokenty Smoktunovsky in the film "Black Corridor". Later, the actress said that after these shootings she became a different person.
The most memorable and beloved role of the audience by Irina Feofanova is the journalist Lena in the film "Private Detective, or Operation" Cooperation "(1989), where her partner was Dmitry Kharatyan, and the actress had the opportunity to try on several images. That same year, Irina was recognized best actress of the year in the magazine "Screen".
The actress herself calls the best role the role of Irina in the film "Sagittarius restless" (1993).
Since the mid-90s, a long break begins in the career of the actress, and then Feofanova organizes a children's theater studio, which she still runs.
