One of the brightest actresses of Soviet cinema is rightfully considered Faina Ranevskaya (Faina Georgievna Feldman) … She did not get the main roles, but from the supporting roles she knew how to create real masterpieces. She was famous for her difficult character and a kind of sense of humor, did not choose expressions and said everything she thought to her forehead. And therefore, curious situations often happened to Ranevskaya. They sound so anecdotal that they raise doubts about their credibility. But knowing her tough temper, it can be assumed that these stories are real.
All-Union popularity of Faina Ranevskaya brought her role in the film "Foundling", while she herself did not consider this work outstanding. Everyone knew the phrase of her heroine "Mulya, don't make me nervous" and constantly annoyed the actress, repeating it. One day she was walking down the street, and children were running after her, shouting "Mulya". For some time she endured, and then stopped and said: "Pioneers, go to the train …!"
Faina Ranevskaya did not stand on ceremony, not only with the pioneers. Directors and high-ranking officials from her also got it. On the question of the television chief Lapin about what he might see her in next, she replied: “In a coffin!”. And upon learning that she had not been approved for the role in Ivan the Terrible, Ranevskaya was indignant and shouted: "I'd rather sell leather from a woman … than starring with Eisenstein!" The director was immediately informed of this, and he responded with a telegram: "How is the sale going?"
Mikhail Novokhizhin said that he often recorded with Ranevskaya on the radio. They rehearsed at the Ranevskaya house - with tea, pies and cockroaches. The actress fed them and considered them her pets. When a guest crushed one of them, she was indignant: "Mikhal Mikhalych, I'm afraid that this will end our friendship!"
Ranevskaya did not have a family, and she spoke about love with her characteristic sarcasm. One day she was asked if she was in love. “But what about,” Ranevskaya said, “I was 19 years old, I entered a provincial troupe and immediately fell in love. Into the first hero lover! And I, to tell the truth, was terrible, like a mortal sin. And one day he suddenly comes up and says: “Baby, are you renting a room near the theater? So wait tonight: I will be there at seven o'clock. " Not at seven, not at eight, arriving at nine. Drunk and with a woman! "Baby, take a walk somewhere for a couple of hours, my dear!" Since then, not just falling in love - I can't look at them: bastards and scoundrels!"
In an interview, Ranevskaya told the journalist: “I don’t drink, I don’t smoke anymore and I have never cheated on my husband because I have never had one. In general, there are no shortcomings”. And after a pause, she added, "True, I have a big one … and I sometimes lie a little."
Once after the performance, Ranevskaya sat naked in her dressing room and smoked. At that moment, the door opened and one of the theater workers froze on the threshold. The actress did not budge: "Does it shock you that I smoke?"
For all her difficult nature, Ranevskaya was very loved - she was a devoted friend. So, for example, for many years she was friends with Lyubov Orlova, favorite actress of Stalin
