From the biography of Zinovy Moiseevich Vysokovsky
The future theater and film actor was born in Taganrog on November 28, 1932. Father Zinovia worked as a chief accountant at a local brick factory. The young man graduated from school with honors, receiving a gold medal.
Since childhood, Vysokovsky dreamed of becoming an actor. However, his father did not share the plans of Zinovia. Upon learning of his choice, the head of the family was indignant: the excellent student chose a barefoot career for himself! Nevertheless, in 1952, Vysokovsky went to the capital of the USSR to enter the Shchukin School. The first attempt failed - the notorious "fifth count" prevented. The young man returned home and became a student at the Radio Engineering Institute. However, the dream of an acting profession did not let him go.
Already becoming a certified engineer, Vysokovsky made another attempt to enter a theater university. This time, fate was favorable to him: he became a student at the Shchukin school, enrolling in the course of Vladimir Etush.
