Vladimir Andreev knows how not only to perfectly get used to the images of his heroes. He teaches students acting.
The beginning of the way
The future master spent his childhood in Moscow. Vladimir Alekseevich was born on the capital's street Bolshaya Spasskaya in 1930 on August 27. His parents had no relation to the creative environment. But they closely watched theatrical premieres, not missing a single novelty.
Passion was transmitted to the child. He attended the theater with adults. At school, the boy preferred humanitarian subjects. He enjoyed visiting theatrical children's studio. Later in it the acquaintance of the future artist with Roland Bykov happened. He recommended that young talents enter GITIS.
Without delay, Andreev began training. A talented actress helped the beginning role performer and teacher Varvara Ryzhova. Vladimir perfectly passed the entrance test. He became a student in 1948.
Andrey Lobanov was the artistic director of the course that Andreeva took. Other mentors of the future celebrity were prominent masters of their time, such as Andrei Goncharov and Varvara Vronskaya. According to the confession of Vladimir Alekseevich himself, it was Lobanov who had an incomparable influence on his further acting fate.
