If you have nostalgia for Soviet cinema, be sure to watch films with the participation of Valentina Vladimirova - you will find many pleasant moments and the pleasure of contemplating a great acting game. Perhaps as much kindness and sincerity as in these films is nowhere to be found.
Biography
Valentina Vladimirova was born in the Ukrainian village of Vasilyevka in 1927. The family of her parents was very poor, the children often went hungry. But we don’t have to talk about clothes at all - they put on what we have to.
When Valentina turned fourteen, the war began, and it got worse - the Nazis entered the village and took the last thing that happened. There were times when you had to run barefoot in the snow. Because of this, the famous artist had a characteristic hoarseness in her voice.
And after the war I had to work hard: to restore the destroyed houses, build new ones, and do a lot of different work.
After school, Valentina went to Kharkov to get an education as an economist. And when she came to the theater with her friends, she realized that she had found her calling and that she wanted to become an artist. She was completely captivated by the acting, she was fascinated by the light falling on the stage and illuminating the costumes of the heroes. An action took place on the stage, similar to ordinary life, and yet unusual.
Actress career
The decisive girl did not think for a long time: she took the documents and went to Moscow to enter the VGIK.
Already during her studies, she played a lot of different roles, and all of them were in the role of "simple Russian women." Moreover, even the age of the heroines was subject to her: she played both young girls, and ancient old women, and married women, and single suffering widows.
At VGIK, she met her future husband, Valery, and also made friends with future Soviet movie stars Nina Sazonova and Nadezhda Rumyantseva, with whom they were friends until the last days of Vladimirova.
An interesting story is connected with her maiden name - "Dubyna". She was pronounced with emphasis on the second syllable, and Valentina did not like being called by her last name. And although everyone around persuaded her to leave such a sonorous name, she did not agree, in her expression, all her life to "be a club." As life later showed, and with a simple surname, the actress became a celebrity. After all, she was one of the most sought-after Soviet actresses.
After receiving the diploma, Vladimirova received several opportunities to become an actress at once: she began working at the Theater-Studio of a film actor and at the same time she was invited to shoot the film "Poem on the Sea" (1958). Moreover, the director Alexander Dovzhenko gave her the script and offered to choose a role. With his light hand, she began to play women with children, burdened with household. However, this did not bother the actress at all - she understood that no role comes by chance, that everything is destiny.
“The main thing is not to play the same way, ” said Vladimirova, “I understand that you need to play character, discover the human essence and play reliably.” And show people that there is justice and kindness in life.
For example, in the film "Young Wife, " Valentina played the role of Rufina, who took care of the daughter of her deceased sister. She sincerely believes that her niece will be much better off with her than with her father, who married a young girl. And the elderly woman gave all her love to an orphan.
She seems a little rude, but behind her inaccessibility lies a tender heart and a desire to take care of those who are worse than her. She swears and cries, but behind all these scandals lies the fear of being alone and not realizing her love, which lives in abundance in her soul.
Whatever movie from the portfolio of the actress you take, in each a simple woman with a strong character, bright and courageous, appeared in front of the viewer. And sometimes, despite the seeming roughness, Vladimirova showed the heroine’s pure soul so subtly that the young actresses had something to learn from her.
In the film "Everything Starts on the Road, " Valentina Kharlampievna got the role of Ekaterina Ivanovna. It was a simple at first glance image - everyday and sharply negative. However, Vladimirova found in the character of the heroine such nuances, such shades that the director was wondering where she got it from.
The best films in the filmography of Valentina Vladimirova are considered “White Bim - the Black Ear” (1976), “Chairman” (1964), “Do not Forget
Lugovaya station "(1966), " Cranes are flying "(1957), " Women "(1965), and the best series are" Ugryum River "(1968) and" Shadows disappear at noon "(1971).
There is a special role in her biography - the villain in the film "White Bim - the Black Ear" (1976), which Vladimirova refused for a long time. But then she agreed and played brilliantly.
