Ludmila Zorina

Lyudmila Zorina is a Soviet and Russian actress, Honored Artist of Russia. Today Lyudmila Zorina is known primarily as the wife of the star of Soviet and Russian cinema Oleg Yankovsky. But there were times when everything was exactly the opposite. For 10 years of work on the stage of the Saratov Drama Theater, the actress played 50 central roles in the theater performances, then continued her creative biography at the Lenkom Theater. Lyudmila Zorina also appeared in the cinema, but the actress's film career began and was interrupted for a long time in the 80s, the artist returned to the screens only after 2000.

Lyudmila Aleksandrovna Zorina was born in May 1941 in Saratov. Childhood can hardly be called happy, because these years fell on the war years. Lyudmila's acting talent developed and became more noticeable in the post-war school years.

After graduating from school, Lyudmila Zorina immediately entered the local theater school. In 1964, having received her diploma, the young actress was invited to serve at the Saratov Drama Theater.

The creative biography of Lyudmila Zorina, like her career, began on this stage. Soon, the red-haired actress became the leading actress of the theater. If Lyudmila Zorina took part in the play, then the production was sure to be sold out. Saratov theatergoers remembered Zorina in the popular performances "104 Pages About Love", "Talents and Admirers", "Masquerade" and others, in which the actress played the main characters.

Against the background of the brilliant successes of Lyudmila Zorina, the husband of the actress Oleg Yankovsky looked rather modest. They talked about the artist only as about “Zorina's husband”.

In 1968, when the Saratov Drama Theater was on tour in Lviv, Vladimir Basov saw Oleg Yankovsky in the hotel restaurant. The director was just eyeing the actors for the new film "Shield and Sword". The appearance of an unknown Saratov artist seemed "Aryan" to Basov. So Jankowski received an invitation to the role of Schwarzkopf.

After a successful film role, Oleg Yankovsky decided to try his luck in the capital. His devoted and faithful wife Lyudmila Zorina followed him. The actress sacrificed her own career, not even for a minute doubting the correctness of the decision.

In 1973, Zorina and Yankovsky were enrolled in the Lenkom troupe. Lyudmila Alexandrovna found her own niche here too. The talent of the actress turned out to be noticed by sophisticated metropolitan theatergoers in Mark Zakharov's productions of The Revolutionary Study, staged by Mikhail Shatrov's play and also known as Blue Horses on Red Grass, Autograd XXI based on the play by Yuri Vizbor and Zakharov himself, Til by the play by Grigory Gorin based on the novel by Charles de Coster and "A guy from our city" by Konstantin Simonov. But the greatest joy for Zorina was the success of her husband, whose career quickly went up.

Lyudmila Zorina served at Lenkom from 1974 to 1998. "Romulus the Great" by Pyotr Stein, "Memorial Prayer" based on the play by Grigory Gorin based on the novel by Sholom-Aleichem "Tevye the Milkman", the stage version of Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev's comedy "A Month in the Country" entitled "Two Women": Saratov actress in these performances managed to reveal herself in full and win thousands of fans.

The cinematic biography of Lyudmila Zorina is much more modest than the theatrical one. The artist appeared in only a few films, but these pictures made Lyudmila Zorina famous.

In 1978 Lyudmila Aleksandrovna made her debut in the role of Zhenya in the film A Guy from Our City. This film was a teleplay where the actress moved her role from the stage.

In 1983, the actress appeared in an episode of the wonderful film "Flights in Dreams and in Reality", in which her husband played the main role. In this film, Zorina played the deceived wife of the rebel Makarov.

In the late 1980s, viewers saw the artist in episodes of the drama "The Kreutzer Sonata".

In 1999, Lyudmila Aleksandrovna Zorina received the title of Honored Artist of Russia.

After the death of her husband, the artist no longer plays in the theater. Occasionally, the actress appears in films and TV shows.

In 2003, the actress played in an episode of the TV show "Amapola". A year later, Lyudmila Zorina played the role of Anna Semyonovna Islaeva in the film-play "Two Women". In the theater, the actress began to play in this production back in 1998.

In 2005, Lyudmila Zorina appeared in another television show. In the film "The Barbarian and the Heretic" Zorina got a rather noticeable and complex role of Maria Filippovna. The play was staged by the Lenkom theater based on the novel The Gambler by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky. Today this is the last appearance of the actress on the screens.

The red-haired beauty met her future husband Oleg Yankovsky in her 3rd year at the Saratov School. The couple became close in Moscow. The management of the school awarded the best students with a tourist trip to the capital, in the forefront of whom was Lyudmila Zorina. Very little time passed, and the students played a merry wedding, which was attended by the whole course. The artists never parted again. The life of the actors was not overshadowed even by professional jealousy for the success of their own half.

The personal life of Lyudmila Zorina was associated with Oleg Yankovsky until the artist's tragic death. For forty years, Lyudmila Alexandrovna did everything in her power to make her husband feel happy and protected. A warm home and a reliable rear - that's what the wife has become for the famous artist. The marriage of the artists only became stronger every year, although rumors and gossip did not pass by this star family.

Son Philip Yankovsky followed in the footsteps of his parents and became a famous actor. Together with his wife, actress Oksana Fandera, Philip gave his parents two grandchildren. The couple got married in 1990, and at the end of the same year, a son, Ivan, was born, and five years later the boy had a sister, Elizabeth. Ivan also continued the family tradition and became an actor. Elizabeth is just preparing for an acting career and is studying at the Moscow Art Theater School.

After the death of her husband in 2009, Lyudmila Aleksandrovna Zorina continues to cherish the memory of the famous artist, not allowing her to cast a shadow on her husband's reputation. Thanks to Zorina, a program was removed from the air of one of the TV channels, in which, as it is now fashionable, they were going to draw out old rumors and gossip about Yankovsky.

As far as fans know, the actress does not maintain accounts on social networks and does not fill the page on Instagram with photos, and the actress's husband did not live a year before the creation of this service.

Today, the actress periodically appears at cultural and social events. For example, in July 2017, Lyudmila Zorina attended the Moscow premiere of the ballet "Russian Hamlet" of the St. Petersburg Academic Ballet Theater of Boris Eifman as part of the open art festival "Cherry Les", which took place on the historical stage of the Bolshoi Theater.

The premiere is also timed to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the Boris Eifman Theater in Moscow. Also this year there will be performances “Eugene Onegin”, “Rodin”, “On the other side of sin”, “Up & Down”, “Anna Karenina”.
