Many viewers are looking in the images presented on the screen, an example to follow. The cinematic fate of Lev Zolotukhin was watched by millions of Soviet citizens. And the actor did not disappoint his fans.
Starting conditions
According to seasoned critics, each actor in his work gravitates to a certain type and role. Some often play kings, while others play buffoons. Lev Fedorovich Zolotukhin appeared on the screen many times in military uniform. High growth. Stately. With a proud fit and straightened shoulders. He very convincingly embodied in the images of generals and marshals, Cossacks and hussars. However, this is only one of the components of the creative role of the actor.
In a short creative biography of Zolotukhin, there are both main roles and episodic.
The future film actor was born on July 29, 1926 in a family of employees. Parents lived in Moscow. My father worked as an engineer at a design institute. Mother was engaged in sewing women's dresses. The boy grew up and husbands in the yard. He was no different from his peers. From an early age he liked to go to the cinema on weekends. At first, together with parents, but with age already independently. At school, Leo studied well. Once he got to the classes of a theater studio, which operated in the house of pioneers. And he began to comprehend the basics of acting.
Professional activity
After school, at the insistence of his parents, Zolotukhin entered the shipbuilding institute. The argument was simple and weighty - a man should have the “right” specialty. Only Leo had enough exposure for one semester. He left the institute and, in order to get an acting education, entered the Moscow Art Theater School. In 1949 he received a diploma and went to Leningrad to serve in the Comedy Theater. The young actor was received kindly and from the first days he was “loaded” with work in repertoire performances. The load was significant, but Zolotukhin managed.
In 1954, the already held actor was invited to the stage of the famous Moscow Art Theater. Zolotukhin returned to Moscow and organically “fit into” the creative process. He played significant roles in the productions of Dead Souls, Days of the Turbins, The Brothers Karamazov, and At the Bottom. At some point, Lev Fedorovich began to be invited to film. The list of projects in which Zolotukhin took part includes almost forty films. The actor was remembered by the audience in the films "Outpost Ilyich", "Hot Snow", "Shot in the Back", "Christians".
