Nina Usatova

Nina Usatova is one of the most beloved Russian actresses, unusually characteristic, snapped up by directors and persona grata at any event. It so happened that on stage and on the screen, she embodies a woman from the people, and in her youth she also played very old people. Nina Nikolaevna herself does not consider her role to be one-sided, because the same maternal experiences or difficulties of rural life can be conveyed in different film languages. And a character aged, wise with experience, which you yourself do not yet have - it was tempting.

Nina was born in the tiny village of Raspberry Lake in the Altai Territory in October 1951. There were no artists or people of art in the family. But at the Kurgan school, where the Usatov family eventually moved, there was an amateur acting circle, which Nina attended. Here for the first time she felt the magic of the theatrical profession and fell in love with the stage forever.

The path to fame turned out to be thorny. The future People's Artist of Russia for 4 years could not enter the theater school. An innate sense of purpose did not allow Usatova to change her dream and return home. In order to somehow survive in the capital, Nina, who failed her exams at Pike, got a job in 1969 as a simple worker at a confectionery factory.

Nina Nikolayevna managed to enter Shchukinskoe only in 1974. She chose the directing department and got into the course of Zakhava and Ter-Zakharova. She received her diploma in 1979 when she was 28 years old.

After graduation, Nina Usatova went to the Arkhangelsk region, where she did an internship in a small theater in the town of Kotlas. Here she worked for a year, but after learning about the opening of the Youth Theater in Leningrad, Usatova arrived in the northern capital. The actress was immediately accepted into the troupe of the new theater. Soon they started talking about Nina Nikolaevna Usatova as an accomplished artist.

The media wrote that the couple agreed not to tell anyone how and where they met. Usatova's apartment remains inaccessible for television cameras, journalists and even business negotiations. They say that the actress categorically refused Timur Kizyakov to shoot for the program "While everyone is at home."

Even before marriage, Nina gave birth to her only son, Nikolai, who later received his law degree. According to the woman herself, if not for her profession, she would like to have a large family with 4-5 children. On the Internet you can find several photos of Nina Nikolaevna with her beloved heir.

The artist's height is 163 cm, weight is over 70 kg. As Usatova herself admitted, she has never been slim and is not going to lose weight. In the village, Nina grazed sheep, rode a horse, rode a bicycle and skied, but the fullness did not interfere. Only once, for the sake of the role, Usatova resorted to medical fasting and lost 18 kg.

Apparently, the actress liked the script for the melodrama "House Manager", released in March 2019. The heroine of Usatova is a cheerful and indefatigable woman Glasha, who looks after both the house in which she lives and its inhabitants.

On the stage of the BDT, the actress plays Motylkova in the play "Glory". The play was staged by Konstantin Bogomolov, who charmed Nina Nikolaevna with the fact that he knew in the smallest details both the replicas and the mise-en-scène of the characters. For Usatova, this style of director's work is new, and therefore you should listen carefully so that there are no repetitions and mistakes.

Nina Nikolaevna also played the main role in the production of Erendir, the directorial experience of her former theater colleague Fyodor Lavrov. The plot is based on the short story of Nobel laureate Gabriel García Márquez "An incredible and sad story about the simple-minded Erendira and her heartless grandmother." Usatova plays the cruel widow of a smuggler who sends her granddaughter to the panel. And in March 2020, viewers saw their favorite actress in the TV series "Bride of the Divisional Commander", where Usatova played the mother of the main character, Divisional Commander Anatoly Kuzin (Maxim Averin).
