Lionella Skirda: biography, filmography and personal life

Soviet cinema gave the world a huge number of stunning masterpieces. A special charm given to the works of famous actors. It is worth recalling "Seventeen Moments of Spring" or "Master of the Taiga". It was in the last tape that the charming actress Lionella Skirda played. This is not the only one of its bright role. But even more attractive is her biography.

Childhood, youth and theater

Lionella Skirda was born on the threshold of the beginning of the Second World War - in 1938 on March 15. The place of birth of the charming actress was the city of Moscow. Not having time to realize the events taking place around, the girl plunged into military realities, and her childhood can hardly be called happy.

Sixteen years after the end of the war, in 1961, Lionella Skirda graduated from an educational institution called the State Institute of Theatrical Arts . A.V. Lunacharsky. The next stage in the development of the career of the actress was the stage of the Stanislavsky Drama Theater. In the same year, the actress made her debut in the cinema. She successfully co-starred in a small role in the musical film "Free Wind". The directors of this creation were Leonid Trauberg and Andrei Tutyshkin. After a successful debut, the roles in the adventure film "The Shot in the Fog" and the musical film "Dunayevsky's Melodies" followed.

Personal life and the continuation of creativity

On the stage of the drama theater Lionella Skirda worked for only three years - until 1964. It can be said that, having replaced the place of her activity, she attracted luck. The theater-studio of the cinema became the shelter of her talent. In the same year, the actress receives the first major role in the film "The Light of a distant star." The director of this work was the famous Ivan Pyryev. It was with this man, later briefly linked his fate to Lionel Skird.

He was more than twice her age - 37 years. It is worth noting that the famous Soviet director was madly in love with a completely different actress - Lyudmila Marchenko. Because of this beauty, Pyriev divorced his wife. But Lyudmila did not reciprocate the director. This was taken advantage of by a smart actress named Skirda. Lionella married the director in 1967. Now the actress proudly wore the famous name of Pyrieva.

In the year of the wedding Ivan started his new project: he wanted to film the novel of Theodore Dostoevsky "The Brothers Karamazov". Not surprisingly, the main female role was given to his wife Lionella. However, the work of the director was not completed: in the second month of winter of 1968 Ivan Pyryev died. But the tape was completed thanks to the well-coordinated work of M. Ulyanov and K. Lavrov.

After a while, Lionella Pyrieva goes for the second time under the crown. Her chosen one is Oleg Strizhenov. In one of the interviews, the actress admitted that she was in love with this man from a young age. And her dream came true. She became Strizhovoy. It is worth noting that in the first and second marriage, Lionella was the third wife of each of the directors.

In 1969 on the screens one after another the pictures with the participation of the actress: "Dangerous tour" and "Master of the taiga". Then in her filmography comes a lull. During the period from 1970 to 1990, Lionella starred in only a few films: "The Last Sacrifice", "Not Announced," "Free Wind" and "Mister Veliky Novgorod".

In 1990, Lionelly Strizhenova was awarded the title of "Honored Artist of the USSR."
