Biography of Elvira Brunovskaya
The actress was born on June 3, 1936. Elvira grew up in a theatrical family. Mom danced in ballet before marriage, but after the wedding, her husband forbade her to go on stage. She became a housewife, but music always sounded in the house: romances, songs, opera.
Dad in his youth dreamed of becoming an artist, but failed. Therefore, he wanted one of his three children to become an actor. At the age of eight, he took Elvira to the theater club at the Pioneer House, where she even had to audition to get there.
In the theater studio they taught not only to play on stage, but also instilled a common culture, taught competent Russian speech and diction. It was there that the girl had a reverent attitude towards the theater.
Therefore, after graduation, Elvira Brunovskaya entered GITIS, on the course of V. A. Orlov, which she graduated in 1957.
Career
After studying, Elvira was sent to Rostov-on-Don for distribution, although 3 applications came to her: from the Transport Theater, the Moscow Art Theater and the Pushkin Theater. But she was simply obliged to go pick up the crumbling Comedy Theater.
