On September 29, the legend of theatrical scene, People's Artist of the RSFSR Alla Demidova will be 82 years old. Critics call her one of the most significant and stylish actresses of our time, and her colleagues consider her very closed, tough and closed. She is respected, feared, imitated, admired. And she prefers to keep silent about both laudatory and critical reviews. The actress was silent even when she learned that her husband wrote the script for Winter Cherry about another woman …
She dreamed of becoming an actress since childhood, so she studied in a drama club at school and actively participated in amateur performances. But the first attempt to enter the Shchukin school ended in complete failure. The girl was not accepted because of poor diction - she lisped a little. This became a great disappointment for her, and for a while she abandoned her dreams of an acting future, entered the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University, and even taught and taught seminars in political economy for some time. But she did not leave the feeling that she was not doing her own thing. After working with a speech therapist, Alla again applied to the theater school, and this time she was accepted.
Alla Demidova graduated from "Pike" with honors, after which she was invited to the Taganka Theater. She was not happy about this, because she herself dreamed of the Yevgeny Vakhtangov Theater. But she was not accepted there, and she remained in the Taganka troupe. Perhaps, due to her reluctance to perform in this theater, her debut on stage turned out to be a failure, and after that the director used her for a long time only in crowd scenes. Years passed before audiences and critics appreciated her extraordinary talent.
The actress came to the cinema in 1957. She did not appreciate several of her first works and called them "just intelligence." However, cinema has never been a priority for her. She called Vladimir Vysotsky her favorite partner, with whom she was lucky to collaborate in the theater and in the cinema more than once. The most famous of their joint work was "The Flight of Mr. McKinley". Later she said: "".
Alla Demidova has played more than 50 film roles, but has always been very selective in relation to scripts. "" - said the actress. She never managed to fully reveal all the facets of her talent, which is why they wrote about her as "".
Demidova worked at the Taganka Theater until 1986, after which she collaborated with Roman Viktyuk for some time, and in the early 1990s. founded her own "Theater A", which became her favorite child. She gave all her strength to the stage, work always remained in the foreground for her, and loved ones had to put up with it. Perhaps that is why the actress did not have children. Although some of her acquaintances claim: this happened not because of her excessive workaholism, but because of her lack of confidence in her husband.
Alla Demidova was consistent in everything - both in work and in her personal life. She lived with her husband Vladimir Valutsky for more than 50 years, despite the fact that he often indulged in novels "on the side". Valutsky was the author of the scripts for the legendary films "Mary Poppins, Goodbye!", "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson", "Winter Cherry" and others. Actress Nadezhda Repina assured that in "Winter Cherry" Valutsky described their relationship, that she hoped for many years in the same way that one day he would decide to leave the family, but she did not wait for it.
Despite the loud scandal that erupted after the public confessions of Nadezhda Repina, Alla Demidova did not comment on these statements in any way and, with her inherent wisdom, kept silence and forgave her husband all the betrayals. Even those close to her were amazed at her self-control and called her "a shard of marble" - she often seemed too cold, restrained and tough to those around her. And she said: "".
One of Alla Demidova's favorite directors was Kira Muratova: "I want only films to remain from me …".

Why do colleagues and viewers dislike the actress Maria Golubkina

But why does it cause such active rejection from some viewers and even to

Why his colleagues were offended by Gaft: Sharp epigrams and answers to them
Valentin Gaft is one of those actors for whom "people's" is not only an official title, but also a real status, reflecting the attitude of millions of viewers towards him.

Marble not like marble. Unusual sculptures-illusions by Fabio Viale
The once fashionable decor "under a tree", "under a stone", "under a marble" is no longer interesting. But to "disguise" real marble as foam, rubber, fabric, paper or wood, so that people have an irresistible desire to touch this or that work, in order to make sure with their own hands what they are made of - this is already a talent that you can't hide anywhere. And it would be a sin not to share these masterpieces with the audience. So, the Italian sculptor F
