On October 20, 2020, the wonderful actress Irina Skobtseva passed away. She was the keeper of the hearth of the Bondarchuk family, she devoted many years to serving her husband Sergei Bondarchuk, and then named her son Fyodor the head of the family. The filmography of the actress has about 80 works in films and TV shows, and it is actually not easy to choose the best from this number. But we offer today to recall the brightest works of Irina Skobtseva, who passed away at the age of 94.
Othello, 1955, director Sergei Yutkevich
For Irina Skobtseva, the role of Desdemona became fateful in all respects. The actress could only dream of such a successful film debut. Thanks to Othello, Irina Skobtseva immediately became famous all over the world. The film won the prize for Best Director in Cannes, and Irina Skobtseva herself was awarded the high title of Miss Charm at the Cannes Film Festival. And the film also gave the actress a meeting with Sergei Bondarchuk, the main man in her life.
"An Ordinary Man", 1957, director Alexander Stolbov
According to the actress, it was in the process of working on the role of Kira, the bride of a virologist scientist, that she began to develop her own style of play. Prior to that, she only followed the instructions of the director. Now Irina Skobtseva began to feel the point that reveals the character of the hero. In An Ordinary Man, the actress played the role of a restrained obedient girl, inside of whom a real fire was blazing.
"Duel", 1957, director Vladimir Petrov
The role of Alexandra Petrovna in the film based on the story of the same name by Alexander Kuprin, the actress herself called one of the best in her acting career. She really was very organic in the image of the charming Shurochka, the young wife of Captain Nikolayev, because of whom the duel between Nikolayev and second lieutenant Romashov took place.
Annushka, 1959, director Boris Barnet
In this film, Irina Skobtseva's incredible acting talent was revealed. In the picture of Boris Barnett, she played not a girl from high society, but a simple Russian woman who endured the hardships of the war, lost her beloved husband and managed to put three children on her feet. The tape has become a real hymn to a mother woman, strong and modest, capable of any feats for the sake of her children and her country. For a better understanding of the image, Irina Skobtseva laid bricks in the construction team for three months. And she was able to get rid of the role of "the first beauty".
"Seryozha", 1960, directors Georgy Danelia and Igor Talankin
In the film, based on Vera Panova's story "Several stories from the life of a very young boy," Irina Skobtseva played Maryana, Seryozha's mother, in whose life a new love appears. This is an endlessly touching story about a family and how a completely stranger can suddenly become dearer and closer to his own father.
"Judgment of the Mad", 1961, director Grigory Roshal
The film by Grigory Roshal fell on the heyday of the beauty and acting talent of Irina Skobtseva. It seems that no one better than Irina Konstantinovna could embody the image of the French millionaire Susie Hagger.
"War and Peace", 1965-1969, director Sergei Bondarchuk
The large-scale epic picture was very difficult for the director Sergei Bondarchuk. The film became the most massive in the history of cinema, for which it entered the Guinness Book of Records. The director selected the actress for the role of Helen Kuragina for a very long time, having reviewed many candidates. But only Irina Skobtseva, his wife, whom he initially did not consider as Helen, could definitely get into the image. Irina Konstantinovna was extremely harmonious in this role: a cold, arrogant beauty with an indifferent smile. The actress herself admitted: she played the impeccable Helene, whose main advantage is only her appearance. There is perfect darkness inside the beauty.
"Zigzag of Fortune", 1968, directors Eldar Ryazanov and Fyodor Khitruk
The role of Lidochka (Lydia Sergeevna) became, probably, the greatest comedic work of the actress. Irina Skobtseva managed to create the image of a charming beauty who causes genuine admiration among those around her, but she herself takes it for granted. The role of a charming and unrequited dummy in love evokes sympathy in the viewer, not contempt.
"Mary Poppins, goodbye", 1983, director Leonid Kvinikhidze
In the musical based on the story by P. L. Travers Irina Skobtseva plays far from the main role. But she is so charming and touchingly naive in the image of Mrs. Lark that it is simply impossible to forget her even years after watching the film.
"Amber Wings", 2003, director Andrey Razenkov
In the year of the release of Andrei Razenkov's picture on the screens, Irina Skobtseva already turned 76 years old. But, looking at the heroine of the actress Elizaveta Sergeevna, it is simply impossible not to admire the noble beauty, her incredible charm and, of course, the talent of the great actress. In this Christmas tale, Irina Skobtseva seems to be playing herself: an actress, an actress's mother. Moreover, her daughter Alyona Bondarchuk starred in the role of Alena.
Irina Skobtseva, meeting with her colleagues, always said that she intends to live up to the centenary of her husband, Sergei Bondarchuk. September 25, 2020 marked the hundredth anniversary of the birth of the brilliant director, and on October 20, 2020, the actress passed away. Exactly 26 years after the death of her husband, a talented actress, who symbolized an entire era, left on the same day …
