She was born in Leningrad and survived the blockade. As a schoolgirl, she began acting in films. Subsequently, her fans called it "royal." One of her spouses was Vasily Shukshin. She was an equal partner in his films. She admits that the actor and writer have long been gone, but the pain of loss still remains. Our story is about the magnificent actress Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina. The biography and personal life of this woman will be presented to your attention below.
Siege childhood
Biography of Fedoseeva-Shukshina Lidiya Nikolaevna began in the autumn of the distant 1938. She was born in the northern capital. Unfortunately, information related to her parents is virtually absent. But on the other hand, it is known that during the blockade, members of her family remained alive.
When the war ended, Lida went to first grade. She studied at the oldest school in Leningrad. It was called Petrishul.
From the elementary grades, Lydia was drawn to acting. That is why she began to attend a drama club at the Cinema House of the city. She often took part in children's performances. And on the school stage, she already showed the makings of a beautiful actress. This was noticed not only by teachers, but also by famous directors …
Film actress debut
Among them was the venerable film director Anatoly Granik. It was he who suggested the young schoolgirl to star in his film "Maxim Perepelitsa." The future actress did not miss the chance, and as a result, the tape became her real acting debut. In the film, she played the cameo role of a laboratory assistant. Of course, neither the shark pen from the movie, nor the audience practically noticed the young actress. For their attention was absorbed by the magnificent game of L. Bykov.
Lida once again managed to play a small role. We are talking about the legendary film "Two Captains". Be that as it may, the future actress, having appeared in the episodes at that time, already clearly understood who she would like to become in the future …
Within the walls of VGIK
In 1957, Lydia decided to enter the VGIK and went to the capital. She became a student and studied on the course of S. Gerasimov and T. Makarova.
According to her recollections, the educational process at the university was more than fruitful and lively. By this time, the future actress tried to constantly improve her skills. She managed to show herself exclusively from the best side. The teachers of the institute noticed this, and two years later she was invited to shoot the new film "Peers." This time, Lydia received one of the main roles. In the tape, he was able to show his beauty, personality and talent. After the premiere, the actress received her first popularity. Millions and millions of Soviet moviegoers came to the screening of the picture.
Difficult period in life
VGIK gave the actress not only one of the main roles, but also the first spouse. They became the Ukrainian actor V. Voronin. He starred in such films as "Ivanna", "Dream", "First Echelon", "Kochubey" … And young people met at the institute. This acquaintance grew into a stormy romance, which, in turn, quickly crowned an official marriage. And in 1960, the happy newlyweds also had a daughter. She was called Nastya.
Unfortunately, the birth of a child was the beginning of the collapse of their family relationships.
Lydia was torn between three cities. In Moscow, she worked and continued to study at the institute. In St. Petersburg was her little daughter. Her parents took the actress. In Kiev, the husband worked. As a result, living at a distance, the newlyweds began to wean from each other.
In addition, after some time, the unpleasant consequences of this period were added by the fact that Lydia was expelled from the institute for systematic absenteeism. The husband was forced to ask for a wife from the dean of the acting department of VGIK. Fortunately, the wife was reinstated at the university.
At this point, young people continued to be in different cities. In fact, their marriage has already become a pure formality. And soon they officially ceased to be husband and wife.
After the divorce proceedings, the daughter was taken by Voronin's mother. Later, Lida was not allowed to see her child at all. Over the years, the moral wound of the actress, of course, was healed, but now she herself has ceased to maintain relations with her daughter …
Acquaintance with Shukshin
Meanwhile, Lidia Fedoseeva became a certified actress. In 1964, she received an offer to star in a film entitled "What is it, the sea?" She had to share the set with Vasily Shukshin. Rumor of him, as an actor who loves alcohol and revelry fun, spread quickly. Therefore, Lydia was first upset, and then even asked the director to replace his partner. But the director was able to reassure her. Creative cooperation between Fedoseeva and Shukshin, as well as the subsequent marriage, turned out to be more than successful.
Their first meeting took place on the road to Crimean Sudak. This conversation, in fact, turned over not only her personal life, but also her creative fate.
Creative union
After the fateful picture, Vasily Shukshin and Lidia Fedoseeva got married. After some time, the couple had two daughters. They had not only a truly loving family, but also a strong creative union.
A rather considerable number of films with their joint participation were released, including "Kalina Krasnaya", "Stove-benches", "Strange people", etc.
They managed to create a natural, unique atmosphere of real life.
Probably, this creative union would give fans new original works, but in the mid-70s, on the set of the film "They Fought for the Homeland, " Shukshin did not …
The actress was left alone with her daughters and became the only nurse of the family. The husband’s fees, which she received for his works, helped her in this regard. Fortunately, books were often reprinted not only in the USSR, but also in the countries of the socialist camp.
In addition, after the death of her husband, Lydia decided to take a double surname. Since then, she is known as Fedoseeva-Shukshina. Biography, personal life, children did not cease to interest fans. How did Lydia Nikolaevna's life go on?
Rebirth
After the death of her husband, the actress completely immersed herself in work. Only in 1976 there were 5 films with her participation! She also brilliantly embodied the image of Madame Gritsatsueva from The Twelve Chairs.
In addition, many movie aficionados are still revising the film, which is called "One-Chauffeur Driving." In this tape, Fedoseyev-Shukshin is involved together with the magnificent Oleg Efremov. Another wonderful picture - "You never dreamed of." The actress there shared the set with Albert Filozov. They played a married couple, the parents of the protagonist.
It is difficult to say which roles she did better, but after some historical films with her participation, including Demidov, Vivat, Midshipmen, Youth of Peter, Countess Sheremetev and Petersburg Secrets, they began to call her “ regal. " And once at the presentation of one of the prizes, the actress was recognized as the most feminine.
Polish work
Be that as it may, Lidia Fedoseyeva-Shukshina believes that the best work in her film career is a Polish film called “Ballad of Januszik”. The film was shot back in 1988. She recalled that almost no one still knows this work. The fact is that in those days the picture was shown once on television. At the same time they broadcast it in the summer, on the weekend, that is, when most people rested in their dachas.
Nevertheless, after the premiere, the actress received all possible Polish awards for this work. In addition, on the set, she was the only Russian actress. And some of the Polish artists decided not to play for the reason that the director was a communist.
The personal life of the actress
The actress has always claimed that she considers herself a truly family man. But if life together for various reasons does not work out, she prefers to leave first.
So, this happened when she began to arrange her life with cameraman M. Aranovich. Their marriage lasted almost ten years.
The next spouse was Marek Mezhevsky. He was an artist from Poland. He was not able to put up with the fact that in Russia he was known, first of all, as the husband of Fedoseeva - Shukshina. Their union lasted almost five years.
In the 90s, the inimitable Bari Alibasov appeared in her life. At one time, they were considered a very scandalous couple in the domestic show business. The tandem of the extraordinary producer and the widow of the eminent director seemed a real misalliance. Gossipers sincerely did not understand that they, completely different personalities, were united.
In addition, the younger daughter of the actress Olga was opposed to this relationship. Nevertheless, the producer himself spoke about his lover only in a positive way. He repeatedly admitted that he never had such spiritual and strong intimacy. Except with Fedoseeva-Shukshina.
He also more than touching looked after her, and was caring for children. And he still did not hide the fact that he idolized Shukshin.
