Irina Ivanova

Now the biography of Irina Ivanova is far from cinema, but many remember her as a girl from the touching Soviet drama "Guys! .." A brilliant future was predicted for the performer of the role of Polina, but the woman refused fame.

Since Irina Ivanova did not become a famous actress, only a narrow circle of people knows about life before the only shootings. She was born in a Moscow hospital and from childhood, according to acquaintances, was the joy of father and mother, and then educators and teachers. It is known that the family of the future starlet was considered intelligent and educated, so in their free time, parents took their daughter to the theater and museum.

At a young age, Irina was distinguished by balanced behavior, therefore, she caused a wary attitude from other children. True, in the garden the girl changed and became cheerful and lively, volunteering at matinees before the holidays to sing songs and read poetry. She had a clear talent because she made her own changes and additional touches in each performance.

Growing up, Ivanova went to a secondary general education school in Moscow and fell in love with feature films and cartoons like "Well, wait!". Like many classmates, the girl dreamed of becoming a famous actress and sincerely hoped that glory was waiting for her ahead.

Parents, who wanted the child to receive a prestigious profession, did not take teenage hobbies seriously and thought that it would pass. But Ira heard that the Odessa Film Studio was recruiting children for filming in the film, and persuaded her mother to go to audition, hoping for a favorable outcome.

Konstantin Bromberg, the director of the film "The Adventures of Electronics", was looking for the role of Maya Svetlova for the owner of light curls. He talked with Irina for a long time, observing facial expressions and gestures, and concluded that a pretty schoolgirl is smarter than the heroine and is growing up.

The filmmakers argued that the young actress is talented, but her gaze and restrained manner of movement were not suitable for the intended scenes. They advised to go for tests in a painting of a different genre, where the image would correspond to a range of serious topics and problems.

As a result, the film for teenagers began to be filmed without Ivanova, taking Yuri and Vladimir Torsuev, Oksana Alekseeva and Valeria Soluyan. Ira was upset because of the failure and decided to delve into science, announcing that she no longer wants to know any comedies and dramas.

True, in the casting department there were still photographs of a schoolgirl who had grown to 140 cm and weighed about 30 kg. Iskra Babich, who began work on a new project in the late 70s, saw the girl and sent invitations to all the indicated addresses.

Glossy magazines do not write about Irina Ivanova's personal life; she and her husband are quietly raising three children. She does not have Instagram and open pages that fans could subscribe to, so no one sees family photos, except for relatives and friends.

When in the late 2010s TV people became interested in Irina, she had to appear in front of the audience of the popular talk show "Hello, Andrey!" The woman opened the veil of secrecy, saying that she left work to raise pets and raise sons.

The former film actress admitted that she met her legal spouse thanks to a single film in the early 90s. An adult man immediately fell in love with the eyes of the girl Polina, and it took incredible work to confess the feelings that had arisen.

The film "Guys! ..", conceived by the creative association "Mosfilm", was based on a true story. The authors knew a number of facts from the life of the prototype of the protagonist and, based on the artistic vision, assembled the cast. At the stage of preparation, Iskra Babich faced setbacks and difficulties, but at some point Alexander Mikhailov agreed to play the main role. Then they began to look for a girl who could play Polina, namely, to be sad, anxious and laugh through pain.

Looking at the photographs from Ivanova's tests, the director decided to try her luck, but the tempting offer to film was met with a categorical refusal. Parents hardly convinced their daughter to do a couple of rough takes, and Ira, embarrassed in front of the camera, uttered a dozen phrases.

So an ordinary metropolitan schoolgirl was approved for the role of the heroine, and for the time of filmmaking she left her parental home. Once in the village of the Stavropol Territory, Ira, in the company of strangers, looked around in a new environment and took up acting.

It was especially difficult for the Muscovite in episodes of village life, where it became necessary to milk a cow, carry water and chop wood. There were also problems with emotions, because the actress did not want to cry when the “cow-wet nurse” was led out into the street from the yard.

At the beginning of filming, Ivanova did not want to mess with fictitious brothers, the eldest of whom was a boy with the real name Pyotr Krylov. Better communication developed with adults Vera Alkhovskaya and Maria Andriyanova, who explained to the young actress the meaning of intonations and complex words.

Actor Pyotr Petrovich Glebov, who played in the films "Sea Character", "Liberation" and "Quiet Don", took care of the girl more than others. The man tirelessly gave advice that came in handy in every scene, and helped to overcome the difficulties that piled up night and day.

Ira befriended the filmmaker and other participants in the film, and this greatly simplified and accelerated the filming process. When the work was completed, the project of Iskra Babich was predicted by high marks from the management and an unprecedented audience interest.

The film "Guys! .." became the main news of 1982, as well as the leader of the Soviet box office and the owner of prestigious awards. It seemed that Irina Ivanova and the performers of the roles of boys would gain a foothold in the national cinema and would be snapped up by directors.

The girl did not replenish the filmography, refusing all offers, and chose to get an education and have a normal family. After graduating from school and institute, Ira worked as a passport officer and was pleased with her fate.

In 2020, the cinema community remembered Iskra Babich and her outstanding project. Probably, Irina and the participants of the filming will soon appear in front of the audience, because the film "Guys! .." is preparing to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
