Vera Novikova

The theater and film actress Vera Novikova, and concurrently the wife of Sergei Zhigunov and the mother of two daughters, showed the whole country a worthy example of female wisdom when she forgave her husband who had left for another actress and accepted a second marriage proposal.

Novikova Vera Semyonovna was born on October 6, 1958 in the capital of the USSR - Moscow. Very little is known about the early biography of the talented theater and film actress. Her father's name was Semyon Grigorievich. In her youth, the girl was an active participant in the drama circle, since from childhood she cherished the dream of becoming a famous artist.

When Vera was 21 years old, she successfully completed her higher education at the Boris Shchukin Theater School. The curators of her course were the Soviet director and playwright Evgeny Rubenovich Simonov, as well as the film and theater actress Vera Konstantinovna Lvova.

The talented graduate was immediately noticed in the acting circles, in connection with which there was an offer to enter the service at the Evgeny Vakhtangov State Academic Theater.

Throughout the 80s, the girl actively appeared on the theatrical stage, playing in such productions as "Little Tragedies" in the role of Laura, "Ladies and Hussars", "The Wounded" (presented the daughter of a forester), "Truth of Memory" (as named after Olga Solyanik), "Mystery-Buff", "Princess Turandot" as Zelima's slave, "Rus, Bravo!" (played by Dunya).

Having gained prestige in theatrical circles, Vera Novikova took part in a production by director Vladimir Ivanov, based on the novel of the same name by Fyodor Dostoevsky "Uncle's Dream". This time, the actress reincarnated as a daring lady named Felisata Mikhailovna, who is the enemy of the main character Maria Alexandrovna.

In 2005, the woman decided to go further and pass on her great stage experience to novice actors by opening a theater club in Abramtsevo. Vera Semyonovna devoted a lot of time and energy to her brainchild.

3 years later, Novikova shone on stage in a bright musical performance called "The Coast of Women". The actress played the heroine Peter. A feature of the production was the use of tracks by Hollywood actress and singer Marlene Dietrich.

Just a year before that, Vera's native theater received the status of one of the best institutions among its kind, not only in Moscow, but throughout Russia. This joyful event was facilitated by the arrival of the new artistic director Rimas Tuminas.

In addition to playing in the spotlight, the woman did not forget about her cinematic career. The young beauty first appeared on television when she was not even 20 years old - in the role of a pioneer leader in Vladimir Bychkov's children's film "There is an idea!" 1977 year.

A year later, the girl shone in 3 more films - "Citizen Nikanorova awaits you" as Tamara, "A trip through the city" and "Close distance" (played Zhenya Kolykhalova), thereby gaining her first experience in cinema and expanding her small filmography.

At the age of 21, Vera Novikova appeared in a 2-part film directed by Nikita Mikhalkov, based on the classic novel by Ivan Goncharov "Oblomov" and called "A few days in the life of I. I. Oblomov". In the 1980s, the actress burst into the role of Zoe in the 4-episode adventure film "Krosh's Vacation". The film, based on the story by Anatoly Rybakov, was about a Soviet schoolboy who was left alone at home during his parents' vacation and contacted collectors of Japanese small netsuke figurines.

In 1982, the girl reincarnated as Princess Teresa in the film adaptation of the fairy tale "Donkey's Skin" by the writer Charles Perrault. Soviet viewers of all ages were delighted with the picture and the talented play of the young artist in particular.

Two years later, Vera Novikova played the role of a trainee and student of the pedagogical university from the 3rd year named Shurochka in the fantastic comedy film "Chance". The film was directed by Alexander Mayorov, and the plot was based on the novel by the writer Kir Bulychev called "The Martian Potion". The girl's partner was her future husband Sergei Zhigunov.

In 1996, Vera again appeared on the set with her husband, playing Gillon in the historical film "Queen Margot" (Zhigunov reincarnated as Coconnas). After 2 years, the woman starred in the title role of director Kirill Serebrennikov in the film "Undressed", based on the play by Casas Joan. It was about a photographer and a model who organized shooting 3 times in an abandoned attic and each time found themselves in strange situations.

In the 2000s, Novikova took part in 6 more projects, including "Killed by Lightning", the detective-comedy series "Pan or Lost" (Gerda Gustavson), "Uncle's Dream", "Little Johnny", "New Year in November" and " Kill the evening. " The last major work of the actress was participation in the melodramatic series of 8 episodes "Always say" always "- 6" 2010. The woman reincarnated as a heroine named Lydia.

In the personal life of the actress, everything was not always smooth. Before meeting Sergei Zhigunov in 1984, Vera already had a painful break with her first husband and her 4-year-old daughter Anastasia, whom she raised alone.

At first, the artist was skeptical about the obsessive courtship of a young and still little-known actor and assumed that by the end of the filming of the film "Chance", their romance would inevitably end. But the intentions of Zhigunov, who had previously been expelled from the educational institution, were serious - he convinced the beauty that he would soon gain fame and money.

As a result, 2 years after the end of the joint work, the couple entered into an official marriage. The daughter of the actress from a past relationship immediately fell in love with the charismatic artist and began to call him dad. And on September 5, 1990, 10-year-old Nastya had a long-awaited sister, whom her parents named Masha.

In the mid-2000s, relations between the spouses heated up. Sergei at this time was experiencing a career takeoff, starring in the popular sitcom "My Fair Nanny", and Vera, on the contrary, went through a creative crisis and spent a lot of time in her theater club to hide from family problems.

Sergey Zhigunov and Vera Novikova

In 2007, Zhigunov announced his desire to leave his wife for a young actress and the same "nanny" Anastasia Zavorotnyuk. The divorce passed calmly, without unnecessary drama - Novikova behaved like a worthy person who does not hold evil and steadfastly takes the blows of fate.

In numerous interviews, she said only good words about her ex-husband and wished him happiness.

It took Sergey 2 years to realize what mistake he made. The repentant man tried his luck by making Vera an offer again, and received a positive response. Their second marriage took place in the fall of 2009.

Unfortunately, the "second run" was also not final: in 2020 there were rumors that the couple had parted ways again. And soon the name of the new darling Sergei became known. She was a girl named Victoria Vorozhbit. It is known that the official divorce has not yet been formalized.

In 2019, the actress is more involved in family responsibilities, enjoys the company of her children and her husband, and also nurses the long-awaited granddaughter Julia, who was given birth to by her eldest daughter Nastya. Now Vera Semyonovna almost never acts in films and does not play in the theater.

Neither Zhigunov nor Novikova have active pages on Instagram, but over 20 years of marriage, the artists have accumulated hundreds of photos from carpet tracks, professional and family photo sessions, and recreation, which can be found on the Internet. A woman of her age looks elegant and well-groomed both in a luxurious dress and in a swimsuit.
