Elanskaya practically did not act in films, making an exception only for the role of Princess Ligovskaya in the film "Princess Mary" and playing herself in the film "The House I Live In". She has always remained primarily a theatrical actress and was awarded the Stalin Prize of the first degree for her roles in the Moscow Art Theater. An ice-class passenger motor ship was named in honor of Claudia Elanskaya.
Director Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko at first did not believe in the talent of the actress, and then invited her to all major roles. To other actors, he said: "".
Ekaterina Elanskaya
Klavdia Elanskaya was married to an actor, director, teacher of GITIS, People's Artist of the RSFSR Ilya Sudakov. They had two daughters: Irina was a theater teacher, and Catherine became an actress and director.

Victor Korshunov
Ekaterina Elanskaya was married to Viktor Korshunov, a theater and film actor, teacher of the Schepkinsky school, director and director of the Maly Theater, People's Artist of the USSR. In 1943, 14-year-old Victor enrolled in the theater studio of the House of Pioneers. They gave concerts for the wounded in hospitals and hospitals, and after the performance they helped the nannies. In 1947 Korshunov entered the Moscow Art Theater School, where he met Ekaterina Elanskaya. All his life - more than 60 years - Korshunov devoted to the Maly Theater, where he began his career as an actor, and then tried his hand as a director. In the 1950s-1960s. he acted in films, but more often appeared on the screens in films-performances, because the theater has always remained in the first place for him.
In 1985, Korshunov became director of the Maly Theater. At the same time, he combined leadership with acting, for which he received the nickname "playing director". The most famous theatrical role of Viktor Korshunov was Boris Godunov: in this image he appeared in the legendary play "Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich" for 30 years without a single replacement, for which he got into the Guinness Book of Records. In total, the actor played more than 70 roles on the stage of the Maly Theater. And for half a century of teaching at the Schepkinsky school, Korshunov graduated 17 courses. One of his students, actor Igor Petrenko said about him: "".
Alexander Korshunov

Just like his parents, Alexander Korshunov rarely acted in films. His most famous film work was the role of a policeman in the film I Can't Say Goodbye.
Claudia Korshunova
The daughter of Alexander Korshunov, Claudia, named after the famous great-grandmother, continued the acting dynasty. She entered the Schepkinskoe School on the course of her grandfather, Viktor Korshunov. This choice was not dictated by family ties, because in him she saw a first-class teacher: "". She was offered to become an actress of the Maly Theater, with which her whole family connected life, but Klavdia preferred to accept Galina Volchek's invitation and go to Sovremennik.
Claudia began acting in films in 2005 and has played more than 30 roles since then. There could be much more of them, because she is called one of the most promising and promising actresses, but she, like all representatives of her dynasty, prefers the theater. Korshunova says that it is easier to refuse film roles than theatrical ones: "".
Unfortunately, the grandfather never saw her successes on stage - due to his age and state of health, he could no longer attend the theater, but he saw her first film roles and highly appreciated her work in the series “Moscow Courtyard”. Claudia's older brother, Stepan Korshunov, also graduated from the Schepkinsky School and became an actor in the Maly Theater, and later was educated as a director and started producing.
This film brought popularity not only to her father: As a director followed morality on the set of the film "I Can't Say Goodbye".
