Biography of Vera Vasilyeva

Becoming a legend in life, a Soviet and Russian actress, actively acting in the theater and having played many roles in the cinema, was born in a small village of Sukhoi Ruchey, located in the Tver region. Biography of Vera Vasilyeva is difficult and interesting, because right after her birth the whole family moved to a huge Moscow. During her long professional career, the actress, born before the war on September 30, 1925, received numerous awards and titles, among which were two prestigious Stalin Prizes (in 1948 and 1951).

The parents of the future star were ordinary people: the mother worked in the factory, studied at the evening courses for the designer and brought up three daughters, and the father was a chauffeur in the same enterprise. In Moscow, the biography of Vera Vasilyeva is full of symbolic events that will later lead her to the theater. Neither life in a communal apartment, nor complete solitude due to the constant employment of older sisters and parents did not prevent her from becoming one of the most recognizable actresses in the former USSR and modern Russia.

The girl read a lot, preferring classical literature, but it was the visit to the Bolshoi Theater, the production of the "Tsar's Bride" that made Vera realize the main goal of her life. Absolutely fascinated by the behind-the-scenes life and what was happening on the stage, she begins to "swallow" all available literature on this topic. In the difficult war years, she had to postpone the dream of the theater and start working in the factory with her father right after school.

Immediately after graduation, Vera tried to enter the famous Circus College, but could not pass the physical examination. But she did not give up and already in 1943 she became a student of the Moscow Theater School, its leader was the famous VV Gotovtsev. In 1945, the biography of Vera Vasilyeva begins to fill her with immortal roles in cinema and theater. The first was a tiny scene in the popular Soviet film "Twins". And in 1947, actress Vera Vasilieva, whose biography includes thousands of theater performances and more than 50 roles in films, becomes the main character of the film "The Tale of the Siberian Land", which brought her worldwide fame. For example, the performance "Wedding with a dowry", staged by B. Ravensky, with her participation was played more than 900 times.

Biography of Vera Vasilyeva acquires a new twist when after three years of courtship she agrees to accept the offer of the hand and heart from the famous actor Vladimir Ushakov. Her partners in the scene at different times were V. Gaft and A. Shirvindt. She played in the Orel and Tver drama theaters. In the theater "Modern" Vera Vasilyeva brilliantly performs a role in the play "Once Upon a Time in Paris" and gets recognition not only of the pre-war generation, but also of modern youth.

In the current period, the owner of the award "Crystal Turandot" continues her acting career and is actively withdrawn in television series: "Times Do not Choose", "Matchmaker", "Beauty Salon", "Everything Mixed in the House." Vera Vasilieva, whose biography is full of light and tragic moments, loves to voice cartoons. She gave voices to characters from popular cartoons: "Umka is looking for a friend", "Two maples" and "The Wizard of the Emerald City". For her contribution to the development of theatrical art, she was awarded the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, IV and III degrees in 2011.
