Sometimes in life everything is completely different than a person plans. Success does not guarantee even a good start. The proof is the fate of actress Natalia Strizhenova.
Natalia Olegovna from nature received a bright appearance, talent, from childhood she was considered promising. However, all the aspirations were broken by the difficult reality of the life of the eighties.
Carier start
The biography of the future performer began in 1957. The girl was born in the star family of the famous actors Oleg and Marianna Strizhenov on July 28. Parents met on the set of the film "Gadfly", in which they played the main roles.
When Natalia turned eleven, the family broke up, but the father continued communication with his daughter. The famous director and actor Alexander Strizhenov is Natalia’s paternal brother. The girl dreamed of an artistic career. After graduating from school, she chose education in the metropolitan academic choreographic school. Then there was admission to VGIK.
Film career started early. A fifteen-year-old teenager was invited to shoot the film "Moscow-Cassiopeia." The schoolgirl got a cameo in the picture. She played Lena, the sister of one of the main characters, Pasha Kozelkova.
Subsequently, Strizhenova constantly received small and quite noticeable roles. At the time of completion of training at VGIK, the actress's portfolio included 4 works. She participated in the "Mid-life", reincarnated as a friend of the sailor Grigoryev for the comedy mini-television series about the village precinct. In the film "Aniskin Again", the hero who became a major familiar to the audience, investigates the disappearance of ceramic exhibits from the museum.
Kinoroli
The memorable appearance of the girl affected the characters of the heroines she performed. Huge eyes and a charming face provided the actress with the role of film-credit. In 1979, "Preparing for the Exam, " Natalia starred when she turned 22 years old. She got a character much younger in age. The performer played high school student Lyudochka Kusikova. It turned out very realistic.
According to the plot of the film, the main character Katya in a dream sees that a noble stranger comes to her aid. At school, the girl learns that a new student has appeared in the classroom. Katya decides that this is the hero of her prophetic dream. However, the romantic image is completely destroyed by the actions of the young man.
In 1983, Strizhenova was again offered the image of a young heroine. In an episodic role in the film adaptation of Dostoevsky’s novel “The Teenager, ” the actress reincarnated as the Olympiad Fanariotova, who looked a maximum of nineteen.
The new work was the drama Bus Driver. In it, Strizhenova was a blonde Lena. The audience remembered the episode due to the bright appearance of the performer.
The main roles in the biography of Natalia Olegovna were not. She played maid of honor in the famous film "Tales of the Old Wizard", appeared in the image of the young Joan Halford in the film adaptation of Priestley's work "The Time and the Conway Family". But this rather bright episode did not become a stellar appearance on the screen.
Theater
By the mid-eighties, three more small movie roles were performed. Natalya participated in the film "The Eve", "Without a Statute of Limitations", "Victims Have No Claims." The characters of the actress always got passing and insignificant. Neither talent nor external data helped. Strizhenova then disappeared from the screens for a long time.
A difficult period began, leading to a complete decline in domestic cinema. Many famous actors had a hard time. The situation was even worse for beginners and non-professionals who did not have time to declare themselves in large roles. In 1990, Natalia played in the melodramatic project "Provincials" the inconspicuous heroine Svetlana. After that, the actress did not act in films.
Work in the theater did not bring fame and glory. After graduating from VGIK, the graduate joined the troupe of the Moscow actor’s guest theater. However, even there she did not receive a major role. From 1988 to 1990, Natalia Olegovna participated in the production of "Demons" based on the work of Dostoevsky. She played the role of Lizaveta Nikolaevna, a girl with a tragic fate.
A shock to the unfortunate heroine after a night with a man is the news that she is not loved. The girl dies due to allegations of involvement in the killing of the Lebyadkins.
In the production of “Guilty Without Guilt, ” the stage actress embodied the image of Nina Korinkina, an actress. In 1994, there was work in the New Year's play "The Wizard of the Emerald City" in the role of the Snow Maiden. Creativity is limited to small roles in 13 films and the image of supporting heroines on the stage.
