Some actors in their youth become popular by chance, while others have to follow their dreams for a long time. But there is no need to be discouraged - as they say, after forty, life is just beginning. Today we want to remember such patient and humble workers in the acting department who did not beat out winning roles, but calmly waited for their "release". And their finest hour has come - now even a child knows their names, and fans continue to write letters with gratitude.

Alisa Freundlich

Alisa Brunovna was born in 1934 in Leningrad into an acting family. Since childhood, I secretly tried on my mother's dresses and saw myself on stage. The teacher of the school theater group, who saw the makings of a star in the girl, helped her to enter the Ostrovsky Theater Institute. Alice was tormented by doubts for some time: she had a strong beautiful voice, so instead of a theatrical actress, we could recognize an actress of a musical theater. His first film debut was episodic roles in the films "Unfinished Story" and "Talents and Admirers." After distribution, the young actress got into the Komissarzhevskaya Leningrad Drama Theater, and then moved to the Lensovet Theater.

His first film debut was episodic roles in the films "Unfinished Story" and "Talents and Admirers." Alisa Freindlich also auditioned for the main role in E. Ryazanov's comedy "The Hussar Ballad", but she was not accepted. There was too much femininity in the actress, which was not characteristic of a girl dressed as a man. Yes, and in other famous films, Alisa Brunovna was also not destined to play: before the "Zigzag of Fortune" she became pregnant, she could not come to the shooting to Tarkovsky, and for "Irony of Fate" by order from above, Barbara Brylska was already approved. And only when the actress was almost 43 years old, she played the role of the boss Kalugina (Mymry). The success was so overwhelming that the actress was recognized as the best actress of the year according to the magazine "Soviet Screen". It is noteworthy that two songs from the film were performed by Alisa Brunovna herself.

Leonid Bronevoy

Leonid Sergeevich's professional career began in 1950. A young student of the Tashkent Theater and Art Institute for some period of time broadcast on local radio and even commented on the events in Uzbek. As a result of the distribution, he ended up in the Magnitogorsk Drama Theater. Pushkin, but there they were in no hurry to give roles to a young man with Jewish roots. This was followed by several more theatrical institutions, studies at the Moscow Art Theater, and again moving to regional theaters. After the death of his wife, he returned to Moscow, to his wife's apartment. And again a black streak in life: the actor could not find a free seat in the capital's theater, he even starved and sometimes played for money at dominoes to buy a piece of bread. Finally he was admitted to the drama theater on Malaya Bronnaya, where the actor served for 26 years.

Gradually, the new actor was noticed and began to offer roles. Success came in 1973 with the release of the television series Seventeen Moments of Spring. Most of the phrases spoken with the master's unsurpassed intonation were immediately disassembled into quotations. The role of the German officer Mueller gave the actor a long-awaited breakthrough in his career - he immediately became in demand and popular. And then followed by "The Formula of Love", "Pokrovskie Gates", "The same Munchausen" and more than twenty films, where the actor got, if not the main, but such memorable roles.

Tatiana Peltzer

We remember this wonderful actress for the roles of compassionate old women and kind grandmothers. But Tatyana Ivanovna received her acting fee at the age of ten! Already at the age of 16, she played in the mobile theater of political administration, and then in other theaters. She spent three years in Berlin, having married the philosopher Gens Teibler, and changed her profession, becoming a typist in the trade mission of the USSR. After the divorce, she again took up an acting career, but was fired. The order contained the phrase “for incompetence”, because in fact Tatyana did not have an acting education. Therefore, I had to become a typist again, having entered a job at the ZIS plant. Therefore, to call the path to fame for this actress direct and even does not turn her tongue - Tatyana Ivanovna had to endure too much misunderstanding and prejudice.

Success came to her only at the age of 50, when she played a role in the film "Soldier Ivan Brovkin". They began to apply the epithet "mother of a Russian soldier" to the actress, and to continue the story, the script was specially rewritten, increasing the screen time of the beloved actress. With the transition to the theater to Mark Zakharov, the life of the actress changed. For her, there was always a role in his performances, and the famous director spoke of the actress herself that she was one of the few who managed to create a special aura around herself and “keep” the audience. Tatyana Ivanovna played in the theater almost until her death: due to memory loss, A. Abdulov spoke for her, and for the artist herself, they specially sent a car to a psychiatric hospital, in which she was recently treated.

Andrey Krasko

Andrey was born into an acting family and after some thought he also decided to connect his life with the theater. The first attempt to storm a theater university was unsuccessful due to poor preparation. It took a year to interrupt, working as a stage worker. After graduating from LGITMiK, he got into the Tomsk Youth Theater - the entire issue was indiscriminately "presented" to the opening of this theater. In the provincial town of Krasko, he held out for two years, and then moved to the Leningrad Theater of the Lenin Komsomol. Ironically, his first performance of "Cucaracha" was attended by senior officials, who were unhappy with the too cheerful and sometimes reckless image of a young policeman. In the morning Andrei Krasko was handed a summons to the army.

So he went to serve in the North Polar District. And after demobilization, the artist got into the troupe of the Dimitrovgrad theater. In the 90s, it was difficult to find work, especially in the cinema. In order to improve his financial situation, the actor was forced to sew clothes in a cooperative, install cemetery fences, do apartment repairs, and earn extra money as a driver. As a staff driver of the film studio, he was filmed in an episode of the comedy "Operation Happy New Year!" and the popular TV series Streets of Broken Lanterns. Success came when the actor was 42 years old. He almost accidentally played in the series "National Security Agent", where his friend Mikhail Porechenkov became his partner.

This role brought him fame and recognition from directors. In the future, the actor's filmography was replenished with many memorable roles. For his work in the film "72 meters" grateful officers posthumously accepted A. Krasko into the St. Petersburg Navy Submariners' Club, and an image of a boat was engraved on the monument in honor of the actor.
