Actor Vladimir Ivashov: biography, family and childhood

He was born on August 28, 1939 in Moscow. Our hero is from a simple Soviet family. His father was a worker at an aircraft factory. And Vladimir's mother worked as a seamstress in a factory. The family lived modestly, but amicably.

Vova grew up an active and intelligent boy. From an early age, he was able to cook food, sew things and carpentry. In the courtyard he was respected and a little bit afraid, although Ivashov, Jr. was not the strongest among them.

Student

In 1956, he graduated from high school. By that time he had already decided on his profession. Vova dreamed of an acting career. He managed to enter the VGIK at the first time. A nice and confident guy was enrolled in the course of G. Kozintsev. Study in this university was given to Vova easily. Although Ivashov did not stand out as anything special among the guys. If then someone said Volodya's classmates that he would become a world celebrity, then they would have just laughed.

The first steps in the cinema

In 1958, the director G. Chuhrai began to shoot his film "The Ballad of a Soldier." Oleg Strizhenov was approved for the main male role. But soon Grigory Naumovich realized that he had made a mistake. The film needed a young soldier, a naive and ardent guy. A Strizhenov more suited the role of a hero-lover or aristocrat.

Ivashov is an actor, who was taken to Chuhrai for trial. He was studying at the second year of VGIK. The guy came up for the role of Alyosha Skvortsov and by external data, and by age. The beginning actor has 100% coped with the tasks assigned to him.

The film "The Ballad of a Soldier" has overcome many tests before going on screens. At first, the commission on censorship asked Chukhrai to change the script. Then the historians found inaccuracies in the film. However, the film survived. It was watched by millions of Soviet citizens. The audience was satisfied with the work of the director and the play of the actor who played the main role.

In 1960, the "Ballad of a Soldier" was sent to the international film festival, held in Cannes. The professional jury highly appreciated the Russian film. Unheard-of popularity fell not only on Chukhrai, but also on Vladimir Ivashov. The young actor even set an example to the stars of Hollywood. It was a real success. Classmates of our hero kindly envied him.

Great love and wedding

Actor Ivashov (photo above) was popular with women. Girls-students threw anonymous notes with confessions of love under his door. However, he did not hurry to build a serious relationship.

"Ballad of a Soldier" made Vladimir famous personality. But there was also a downside to the coin. Upon his return to Moscow, he had to go down on the course below. After all, the guy missed a lot of classes. Volodya was enrolled in the course of Mikhail Romm. There he met his future wife, Sveta Svetlichnaya.

For a while the guy did not know how to approach the blond beauty. The denouement came during the dress rehearsal of the "Cossacks". Under the scenario, Sveta and Volodya should kiss. Previously, the director-director postponed this scene. And that day he asked the actors to play everything as needed. At the final run Ivashov kissed Svetlana and confessed her feelings.

Six months later (in 1959), lovers played a wedding. The celebration turned out to be modest, but cheerful. The eyes of the bride and groom glowed with happiness. All the guests were sure that Volodya and the world would live together until the end of the day. And only death will separate them. I thought so and the actor Ivashov. His biography in 1960 was supplemented by a joyful event. His beloved wife gave birth to the first child, a charming little son. The boy was called Alexei. A few years later the Ivashov family had another replenishment. The second son of Sveta and Vladimir, Oleg, was born.

Initially, the actor's couple lived together with the children in a communal apartment, with Ivashov's parents. Svetlichnaya had a mutual dislike of her mother-in-law. Therefore, she like no one else was glad to hear about the allocation of a separate apartment with her husband.

Difficulties

In the late 1960s, the family life of Ivashov and Svetlichnaya hung in the balance. And the fault of all the mutual reproaches and jealousy of the fans. Svetlana accused her husband that he did not become a director, rarely appears at home and does not spoil her with gifts. Vladimir Ivashov also presented his claims to his wife. The actor was jealous of her fans and colleagues in the shop. And that was not unfounded. Svetlichnaya sometimes cheated on her husband, but always returned home and swore that she would not do it any more. And our hero forgave and believed her.

And the next day I went to work on the construction site again. His duties included the unloading of slate and slag blocks.

In March 1995, Vladimir had to work a lot. He wanted to save a good amount for a gift to his beloved wife. The goal is really noble. However, because of the tight schedule, the minimum number of days off and the lack of normal nutrition Ivashov earned himself a stomach ulcer.
