Biography of Vera Alentova. Childhood

She was born in Kotlas on February 21, 1942. Her parents - Valentin and Irina - were actors. It is known that Vera's mother managed to work in many theaters.

The early years of Alentova can not be called happy. When she was only four, her father passed away. Soon they moved with their mother to Ukraine. After a cold Siberian city, life here was better, but Vera still lovingly recalls her homeland.

Mother and daughter lived in the basement of one of the theaters. They felt need not only in clothes, but also in food. The little Faith had no real toys - only those that Mama made of paper.

After a while, another person entered his family - Irina's new husband. Fortunately, with Vera he had a warm, friendly relationship. And when the girl after school decided to work in the same theater as the mother, the stepfather fully supported her. But Irina, despite the fact that she loved her daughter, was very unhappy with this fact.

Biography of Vera Alentova. Youth

As a result, Alentova did not become an actress of the local theater and all year after graduation she worked at the melange factory. And the next fall she went to Moscow - to enter the School-studio at the Moscow Art Theater. She wanted to prove to her mother that the desire to become an actress is not just a whim, and that she really has a talent.

So Vera Alentova successfully became a student of the first year. And a year later she married her classmate - then still unknown to anyone and not giving any hopes to Vladimir Menchov.

When in 1965 the spouses graduated from the university, during the distribution it turned out that they, unlike most students, "do not need" any of the theaters. And the couple took the following decision:
Vladimir went to Stavropol - where he later practiced as a director, and Vera entered the Moscow theater.
