The key to the great success of the audience of the film "Mary Poppins, Goodbye" was largely the well-chosen cast: the stars of the Soviet cinema Natalya Andreichenko, Larisa Udovichenko, Albert Filozov, Oleg Tabakov and others appeared in it. Young debutants were not lost against their background either. who played the pupils of the magic nanny Michael and Jane - Philip Rukavishnikov and Anna Plisetskaya. And although these roles were the only peaks in their acting careers, they managed to achieve considerable success in other areas of creativity and become worthy successors of their dynasties.
They were looking for children for the role of brother and sister Banks for a long time - director Leonid Kvinikhidze wanted to find universal artists who would not only cope with acting tasks, but also could perform dance and vocal numbers, because this movie was conceived as a musical. And as a result, he managed to find such talented children. The tandem of Philip Rukavishnikov and Anna Plisetskaya turned out to be very organic and bright, only in the future their paths diverged.
Anna Plisetskaya
The young actress was the niece of the famous Maya Plisetskaya. She was born into the family of Bolshoi ballerina Marianna Sedova and ballet master Alexander Plisetskiy. There is a legend that the name Anna was given to the girl by her aunt - at that time her husband, Rodion Shchedrin, was finishing work on Anna Karenina, so the ballerina suggested this name. Anna Plisetskaya's childhood was spent in Latin America, in the city of Lima, where her father founded the ballet at the University of San Marcos.
At the age of 3, Anna Plisetskaya made her film debut - she got a small episode in the film play "Anna Karenina". In the film adaptation of Rodion Shchedrin's ballet, Maya Plisetskaya played the main role, and her niece played the role of the young son of the main character. After her family moved to Leningrad, Anna graduated from the Academy of Ballet. A. Vaganova. It was during her studies, when she was only 13 years old, that Anna got the role of Jane Banks in the film Mary Poppins, Goodbye.
Later she said: "".
All the dance numbers in this film were staged by the brother of Maya and Alexander Plisetskikh Azary. The choreographic training of the young actress allowed her to easily cope with these numbers. But her real difficulties arose in another - when she had to portray adult feelings, confessing her love to the boy-statue of Nelei. After the premiere of the film, the all-Union fame fell on the young actress, but she did not have the opportunity to enjoy it - she devoted all her time to classes at the Ballet Academy, where the schedule from 8 am to 11 pm was scheduled by the minute. 2 years after filming the film, Anna lost her father - he passed away at 54, during heart surgery.
After graduating from the Academy, Anna became a soloist of the Mariinsky Ballet, where she performed for 6 years. Together with other artists, she participated in touring tours in Japan, Korea and the United States. In 1993, Anna Plisetskaya went under a contract to Switzerland, where she was invited as a soloist of the troupe of Maurice Béjart. Since the mid-1990s.she has appeared as a guest ballerina in performances and touring programs in Finland, Spain and Japan. Later, she admitted that the famous surname did not help her in her career, but rather hindered her - she had to prove all her life that she was a worthy successor of the ballet dynasty.
Since then, Anna Plisetskaya has appeared on the screens only twice: in 1992, she played a small role in the film "The Last Tarantella", and in 2000, she starred in the joint project of Russia and Great Britain "Parting with Moscow". This was the end of her acting career. In the early 2000s. Plisetskaya graduated from the International Academy of Business and Management with a degree in Management and, together with Maria Mulyash, took up programs for the development of gifted children in the field of music, ballet, opera and circus arts. Today Anna Plisetskaya produces music and dance projects, organizes concerts and puts on performances.
Philip Rukavishnikov
Philip Rukavishnikov was also the successor of the famous creative dynasty - his great-grandfather, grandfather and father were sculptors, and his mother was a ballerina. On the set of the film "Mary Poppins, Goodbye" 9-year-old Philip got thanks to Anastasia Vertinskaya, a friend of their family. It was this actress who was supposed to play the main role in the film about the magic nanny, but her vision of the image of Mary Poppins was radically different from the director's intention, and they decided to replace the actress with Natalya Andreichenko. But Philip Rukavishnikov stayed in the film and played the role of Michael Banks.
This role became Philip's only film work. In the future, he did not want to associate life with the acting profession and became the successor of the Rukavishnikov dynasty of sculptors. In 1996, Philip graduated from the Moscow State Art Institute. V. Surikov, and after 2 years he was admitted to the Moscow Union of Artists. He also became a famous sculptor, many of whose works are in private collections in Russia and abroad. In addition, Philip Rukavishnikov hosted the "Prism" and "Art Zone" programs on television.
The most famous works of Rukavishnikov, created together with his father, are the Inspiration fountain opposite the Tretyakov Gallery and the monument to Vladimir Nabokov in the Swiss city of Montreux. During his work, Philip took part in Moscow, All-Russian, foreign and international exhibitions more than once, and his personal exhibitions were held in the halls of the Russian Academy of Arts, the Moscow Museum of Modern Art and in many cities of Russia.
