They grew up in a creative environment, often attended rehearsals in the theater and on the set, saw what difficulties the actor had to face. However, nothing could make them give up their dream. The father, without knowing it, passed on to his daughter his craving for the acting profession. Our famous actresses were real daddy's daughters, inheriting both their father's talent and craving for the stage.

Bruno and Alisa Freundlich

In the late 1920s, Bruno Arturovich Freundlich became interested in amateur performances, and then, knowing the joy of audience recognition, decided to become a professional actor. He also played a major role in the fate of his daughter Alice.

She was going to become a ballerina as a child, but as she matured a little, she began to think about the opera stage. However, the father, realistically assessing the appearance of his daughter, strongly recommended that she enter the theater. In his opinion, for the operatic career of his petite daughter, there was a very lack of texture.

Subsequently, Bruno Arturovich felt like a mentor and teacher of Alice Freundlich, even when she surpassed him in skill and popularity.

Benjamin and Alika Smekhovy

The daughters of Veniamin Smekhov, Elena and Alika were born in the actor's first marriage with Alla Alexandrovna. Despite his busyness, Veniamin Borisovich worked a lot with his little ones, his connection with them was not interrupted even after the divorce from his first wife.

Least of all in life Benjamin Smekhov wanted his daughters to become actresses. He frightened them with horror stories from the life of an actor, but the stubborn and purposeful Alika let his words deafen. She made her choice and was not going to retreat. Time has shown that the girl was not mistaken in her choice. And today, her father proudly speaks of her incredible ability to work and dedication. Today Alika Smekhova is an Honored Artist of Russia and a popular TV presenter.

Vsevolod and Elena Sanaev

In the marriage of Vsevolod Sanaev and Lydia Goncharenko, two children were born. Unfortunately, their two-year-old son Alexei died during the war after contracting measles and diphtheria. The actor has always treated his daughter Elena with great warmth. It was he who once made little Lenochka believe in himself, saying that all the Sanaevs are very talented. You just need to believe in your lucky chance.

Elena Sanaeva remembered these words for the rest of her life. If it was difficult for her, she always remembered her father's words about faith in herself. Elena did her best to believe that she would definitely go to the theater and become an actress. Over time, she did everything so that her father could be proud of his daughter, who chose the profession of an actress for herself.

Alexander, Marianna and Anastasia Vertinsky

During his lifetime, Alexander Vertinsky was called a phenomenon. He was incredibly talented and succeeded in everything he undertook. He was a film actor and singer, poet and composer. His second marriage to Lydia Tsirgvava gave the world two wonderful actresses, Marianne and Anastasia.

The girls inherited their father's artistic talent and became the successors of the acting dynasty. Anastasia turned out to be more successful in the profession than her older sister, but both were proud of their father, thanks to whom they chose their path in life.

Alexey and Elena Korenev

The famous Soviet director Alexei Korenev did not at all want an artistic future for his daughter. But, ironically, he himself opened the doors for her to the world of big cinema, for the first time filming her 16-year-old daughter in his own film "Taimyr Summons You". In one of the episodes of the picture, he needed the tears of the heroine, which the girl could not manage to squeeze out of herself. Alexei Korenev had to slap his daughter in the face and immediately start filming. Elena, who grew up in the love and care of her parents, burst into tears of surprise, but never offended her father, who had to resort to such a radical method.

When Elena Koreneva firmly decided to become an actress and entered the Shchukin School, Alexey Alexandrovich became her first mentor and advisor. It was he who taught the young actress not to give up her individuality while working on the role. It is incredibly difficult to play another person while remaining yourself, but Elena has always succeeded brilliantly.

Ilya and Julia Rutberg

Ilya Rutberg became an actor by chance. He honestly entered the energy institute and successfully graduated from it. However, in his fourth year, he was actually forced to take part in a student production for the New Year. After his first performance, he fell ill with the stage. She attracted him with the brilliance of spotlights, and again I wanted to experience the incredible sensation that grips the actor during the audience's applause. Later, Ilya Grigorievich became the founder of the student theater of pop miniatures, and 10 years after receiving his diploma in power engineering, he graduated from the directing department of GITIS.

Ilya Rutberg honestly tried to explain to his daughter that the life of an actor is difficult and unpredictable, but Julia firmly decided to become an actress. Even the failure at the first attempt to enter GITIS did not make her give up her dream. Today Julia is one of the most sought-after actresses.

Sergey and Daria Yursky

Sergey Yursky and Natalya Tenyakova really hoped that their daughter Daria would not choose the same profession that they themselves had given their whole lives to. The faculty of journalism or foreign languages would be fine with them. However, the daughter, who often visited the set and behind the scenes, did not even imagine herself in another profession.

She entered the course of Oleg Tabakov at the Moscow Art Theater School and immediately after graduation was accepted into the troupe of the Moscow Art Theater. A. P. Chekhov, where he still works. She first starred in a movie at the age of 14. Parents did not miss a single premiere at the theater with the participation of Daria Yurskaya. They are also the strictest critics and at the same time the most devoted admirers of her talent.

Evgeny and Tatiana Samoilov

Evgeny Samoilov, a brilliant Soviet actor, laureate of the Stalin Prize, discouraged both his children, Tatyana and Alexei, from entering the theater as best he could. However, no persuasion worked. Tatiana and Alexey have chosen their father's profession. Tatiana literally lived in art, dreamed of working in the theater and filming a movie.

She became a famous actress who managed to surpass her father in fame. The film "The Cranes Are Flying" brought worldwide fame to the aspiring actress, and her Anna Karenina became the standard for many actresses who starred in this role later.

It is known that a child born to a celebrity family does not always get a lucky ticket. It is quite difficult for girls to put up with the constant absence of their father at home, and then also endure comparison with a famous parent, if suddenly their professional paths coincide. Today they have grown up and are already following their own path.
