In the history of Soviet art there are the most incredible stories. Some are known to professional critics and experts, but many remain forgotten. The Honored Artist of the RSFSR Natalya Zashipina first appeared on the movie screen when she was "knocked" for only four years.
Start
Theater and film actress Natalya Zashipina was born on January 14, 1939 in an ordinary Soviet family. My father worked as an engineer at a factory, and my mother taught the piano playing technique at a music school. Due to objective circumstances, the child had to survive the war. The head of the family in the first days went to the front and died the death of the brave in battle with the enemy. Mother was recorded in a concert team, which performed in hospitals and even in the front line. Very often, she took the girl with her, so as not to leave her for a long time unattended.
It is not clear why the episode from the childhood of Natasha Zashipina did not fall into any book of records. When she was only four years old, the famous director in those years chose a girl for her role in the new film "Once Upon a Time". The picture tells about life in the besieged Leningrad. The young actress performed the role of the little blockade Katie beautifully. It can be rightfully said that after this work Zashipina’s artistic career began.
Professional activity
At school, Natasha studied well. When the time came to think about the future, she decided to get a specialized education at the acting department of Moscow VGIK. Upon graduation, in 1961, a graduated actress entered the service of the Satire Theater. The main director of the theater immediately set a condition - no filming in the cinema. From the first days, Zashipin was downloaded, as they say, in full. Natalya Alexandrovna appeared on the scene thirty times a month.
Strictly observing the order of the chief director, Zashipina refused all offers to act in films. She was engaged in creativity only on the stage of her native theater. Over time, she was forgotten as a cinema actress. However, the situation in the country changed and in the dashing 90s, the actress began to simply not have enough money for bread. Not everyone will believe when they learn how actors live in modern Russia. Then Natalya Alexandrovna took up dubbing cartoons and dubbing foreign films.
