Andrey Gradov

Andrei Gradov is a well-known Soviet and Russian film actor who gained recognition and wide popularity thanks to such films as "Blue Lightning", "Take care of women", "Find and neutralize".

Andrey was born into the family of actor and poet Pyotr Gradov and his wife Izida Maximova-Koshkinskaya. Songs based on the poems of the future actor's father were used in their repertoire by Soviet pop stars - Iosif Kobzon, Lyudmila Zykina, Lev Leshchenko, Valentina Tolkunova, Lyudmila Gurchenko. Since Petr Gradov became the screenwriter of the Soviet film "Sailor from the Comet", his family was given an apartment in the house of filmmakers near the Airport metro station. The Gradovs' neighbors were Tatyana Peltzer, Ivan Ryzhov, Vsevolod Sanayev, Leonid Gaidai.

Andrei was not yet 9 years old when his mother died in a car accident. The boy and younger sister Tatyana were taken up by their grandparents. These people were also from the world of theater and cinema - Joachim Maksimov-Koshkinsky and Tanya Yun were the first Soviet actors of Chuvash origin. A strong dynasty and creative environment influenced the biography of Andrei.

The Maksimov-Koshkinsky also taught their children - their grandchildren - to the creative profession. Little Tanya appeared on the screen in Leonid Gaidai's comedy "Operation Y and Other Adventures of Shurik," playing the restless girl Lenochka, because of whom her watchdog grandmother had to miss work. Andrey initially connected the future with foreign languages ​​- the young man studied in an English special school, loved humanitarian subjects, but ultimately chose the profession of an actor.

After graduation, the young man entered the Boris Shchukin Moscow Theater School. Lena Koreneva and Yuri Belyaev studied on the same course with Gradov. In the graduation performance “Romeo and Juliet” Andrey Gradov got the role of Paris.

In the mid-70s, Andrei began acting in films. In the 90s, during the recession of domestic film production, Gradov became a dubbing actor, and also starred in commercials a lot. A scandal was associated with the actor's name. Andrey simultaneously advertised the goods of two competing firms producing detergents - Fairy and AOS.

Andrey Gradov has already graduated from the acting department, but the actor did not receive any special offers from the world of cinema. As often happens, chance decided everything. Andrei lived in the same staircase with actor Pyotr Ryzhov, who simply took photographs from Gradov and showed the pictures to several directors. And one day a phone call rang in the young man's apartment. The artist was asked to urgently fly to Odessa for filming in the historical and revolutionary film "Prison Break".

After that, there was no end of proposals. Gradov played in the social drama about the pilots "Blue Lightnings", the melodrama "Late Berry", children's films "A Tale as a Tale" and "Ice Granddaughter", the film story "Starting Point".
