Irina Metlitskaya

One of the most beautiful women in Russian cinema in 2016 could have turned 55 years old. Refined, unearthly, with incredibly sad eyes, it seems that she contained some kind of mystery, an understatement. This is Irina Metlitskaya and will be remembered by the audience forever.

Irina Yuryevna Metlitskaya was born on the shores of the White Sea, in the city of shipbuilders Severodvinsk, blown through by winds from the Arctic Ocean. The childhood of the future actress passed here. But she had to grow up and graduate from school in Minsk, where she moved with her mother after her parents divorced.

For almost eight years, mother and daughter wandered in rented apartments and lived very modestly. Probably, such a life left its mark on the girl: she was closed and detached. Irina Metlitskaya never had an abundance of girlfriends. She focused on her studies at the physics and mathematics school and delighted her mother with considerable success.

Tatyana Pavlovna said in an interview that she did not find any artistic talents in her daughter in those years. Moreover, Ira did not like to be in the spotlight. She never participated in amateur performances. The only club I attended was a dance one.

In high school, Metlitskaya decided on her future profession: she aimed at the Belarusian University, choosing the "male" physics and mathematics faculty. But in the senior class an event happened that turned the girl's world upside down. The director Igor Dobrolyubov once looked into their class.

He was looking for guys for his new film "Schedule for the Day After Tomorrow." This is a picture of the talented students of the physics and mathematics school. The director's eyes immediately distinguished a slender girl with large, sad and somehow not childishly wise eyes.

Thus began the cinematic biography of Irina Metlitskaya. The magic of cinema instantly captivated her. And working on the site with such stars as Oleg Dal and Margarita Terekhova opened the world to the high school student, without which she could no longer imagine life.

The restrained Ira did not share her plans with anyone. After the presentation of the certificate, she, as planned earlier, entered the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics. As it turned out, only in order to properly prepare for admission to a theater university. After the first year, Metlitskaya dropped out of university and left for Moscow.

She easily entered the Shchukin school. On the course, Irina Metlitskaya studied with Evgeny Dvorzhetsky and Elena Kazarinova. To many, she seemed impregnable and cold. The regal posture and cold gaze cooled the youthful ardor of the guys who followed her in droves.

Ira focused all her attention on her studies. She received an increased scholarship and, already in her 4th year, was admitted to the troupe of the "fashionable" Sovremennik, which was especially difficult to get into. She immediately began to be trusted with "difficult" roles. Metlitskaya played Lyudmila in the play "Little Devil", the main characters in the productions of "Steep Route" and "Stars in the Morning Sky".

For nine years she appeared on this stage and captivated the audience with unearthly beauty and some kind of unearthly inner light. Oleg Tabakov, seeing the actress in some tiny role in one of the performances, admitted that he was smitten. It seemed to him that he "swallowed an atom of the sun."

Roman Viktyuk drew attention to the talented Metlitskaya. Many dreamed of getting into his theater. He offered Irina to play Nabokov's Lolita. At that time, she already had two children growing up, but the actress brilliantly reincarnated as a fragile teenager, a fragile doll and at the same time a living person.

Sergei Makovetsky, together with Metlitskaya involved in the play "Madame Butterfly", admitted that he witnessed the birth of a star. According to him, the audience fell in love with Irina instantly. Every appearance on the stage was akin to magic. She played surprisingly easily, as if she was breathing.

The actress returned to the cinema in the mid-1980s. Her second film after “Schedule for the Day After Tomorrow” was the melodrama “The Personal File of Judge Ivanova”. Metlitskaya got the small role of a teacher of literature. Then there were several more films, among which the most famous are “Do not forget to turn off the TV”, “We are cheerful, happy, talented!”, “Ransom” and “Earthly Joys”.

Irina Metlitskaya's talent played with all facets at the very end of the 1980s. The drama "Doll" was released in 1988 and turned the actress into a real movie star. This is the first major role in which Metlitskaya appeared in the most winning image for which, it seems, she was created. A fragile, infinitely feminine heroine with a steel rod inside, cruel and at the same time merciful.

She played such heroines in the films “Novel“ alla russa ”” by Aloiz Brencha, “The Executioner” and “Love, a Forerunner of Sorrow” by Viktor Sergeev, “Makarov” by Vladimir Khotinenko and “Black Veil” by Alexander Proshkin.

The painting "Black Veil" was released in 1995. This was the last work of Irina Metlitskaya on the screen. Unfortunately, the actress never appeared in the role of Anna Karenina, as the famous director Vladimir Solovyov had planned. In the difficult 90s for cinema, there was no money to film the novel by Leo Tolstoy. And then it was too late.

Metlitskaya met Sergei Gazarov, a talented and well-known actor, in Sovremennik. It was love at first sight, and the only one for life.

After meeting with the main man of her life, Irina, constantly surrounded by a crowd of fans, seemed to be an impregnable castle, which everyone could only admire from afar.

This romance was incredibly beautiful. During the 14 years that fate gave them, the spouses seem to "breathe" each other. Everyone was jealous of them. Two sons, Nikita and Peter, who were born one after the other, appeared somehow easily and imperceptibly.

Each time Irina's pregnancy was not noticed by her colleagues, and the birth of boys surprisingly coincided with the closing of the theatrical season. And after the opening, Metlitskaya appeared again slender and light, as if after a vacation.

The personal life of Irina Metlitskaya and Sergey Gazarov was incredibly happy. Everything was generously measured to them. Except for time.

A terrible diagnosis - blood cancer - was made in 1995. But the actress continued to appear on stage and act in films. No one, except her family, knew about her fatal illness. When Irina Metlitskaya, pale and emaciated, was asked by her colleagues to share her diet, she only smiled sadly.

Sergei Gazarov fought to the last for the life of his beloved woman. He found an opportunity to take her to Paris, where Irina underwent surgery. The best European oncologists fought over the cure of the actress. But it was all in vain.

The actress did not live to see her 36th birthday for 4 months. Irina Metlitskaya's cause of death is rapid leukemia. When she passed away on June 5, 1997, everyone was shocked by the news. After all, most of her colleagues and fans did not even imagine that she was sick.
