Larisa Totunova

A true lover of Russian TV series and cinema probably knows Larisa Shakhvorostova. In the filmography of a woman, there are dozens of diverse roles.

She is familiar to viewers from the drama series "The Thunders", the military serial "Young Guard", the motion picture "Stalingrad" and other notable works. Larisa also worked on television and hosted the programs "Morning of a Business Man" and "Business Chronicle".

Larisa Anatolyevna Shakhvorostova (Totunova) was born on June 24, 1963 in the village of Morozovskaya (now the city of Morozovsk) in the Rostov region. The zodiac sign Cancer became the patron symbol of the future artist. The girl grew up and was brought up in an ordinary family: her dad was a military man, and her mother worked as a cook. Later, the Totunov family moved to the Altai Territory, to Biysk, where the future actress spent her childhood and youth.

Larisa has been interested in creativity since early childhood. According to rumors, she wrote her first poem at the age of 3. On the street, the girl was a ringleader and tirelessly showed the children in the yard funny improvised scenes. The future star of TV shows and movies grew up as a hardworking child. Larisa helped her parents with household chores, loved to cook and was fond of sewing. Shakhvorostova earned her first money at the age of 13: she delivered telegrams and collected ripe sea buckthorn.

In addition to Larisa, another daughter was growing up in the family - the younger Catherine. The elder sister took care of her as best she could, and after moving to Moscow she called Katya for her. The girl graduated from the theater and art college and became a make-up master.

Larisa's parents saw their daughter's creativity. Her dad Anatoly even dreamed that the girl would become a professional musician in the future.

Shakhvorostova herself gravitated towards creativity, so after the 8th grade of secondary school she became a student at a music school. The girl entered the theoretical and composer department. There she comprehended the mysteries of the piano, studied solfeggio and the history of music. But the dream of becoming an actress did not leave Larisa. The student got a job as a cleaner at a factory. The presence of a work book made it possible to finish the senior classes at the school for working youth, with a certificate from which Larisa planned to enter the theater institute.

After the second year of school, Larisa without hesitation went to conquer Moscow. In the capital, Shakhvorostova managed to enter the Moscow Art Theater School, however, she did not become a full-time student, but she attended acting lectures as a free listener, half a point was not enough for the applicant to enroll in the course.

Larisa's parents were worried that their daughter was alone in a large and inhospitable city, so the future actress returned to Biysk. But in 1981, the girl again comes to Moscow to start a creative biography and conquer heights. She tried to enter VGIK, but did not pass the competition. However, Alexei Batalov noticed the young talent and invited Larisa to return in a year.
