Actress Sotnikova Vera takes her work very seriously. Especially sensitive she turns out love scenes. She tries on this role easily, since in reality she has had to be a fatal woman more than once.
Childhood movie stars
The future actress was born on July 19, 1960. Her hometown was Stalingrad. The future actress came from a simple family, whose fate is not related to art. Father, Mikhail Petrovich, worked at the factory, mother, Margarita Petrovna, is a telephone operator. The house also had an older child - sister Galina.
Despite the fact that parents are far from creative, they loved and respected music and literature. Good taste was also conveyed to their children. Little Sotnikova Vera attended various exhibitions and concerts. In the evenings, dad read his military memoirs to children, and mom recited her own poems.
And the girl herself was not indifferent to books. Once she was sick, and her sister decided to read to her one of the works of Anton Chekhov. The child liked the story so much that very soon Vera re-read all the works of the author. Perhaps it was this love that over time helped her achieve success in life.
Ticket to the future
Since childhood, the girl dreamed of getting out of her native town and living in another, fabulous world. Her first youthful love was Goiko Mitic, a Yugoslav actor who became popular in the Union because of the role of an Indian. A dark-skinned, long-haired handsome athlete conquered the heart of a teenager. Perhaps this is why some of Vera Sotnikova’s men are like this man.
School life was inseparable from creative activities. Mugs, performances and gala evenings developed her artistic gift.
After receiving a diploma of secondary education, the girl went to Saratov. There she applied to the theater school. But the young lady refused. Having said goodbye to the dream of becoming a famous actress, Vera planned to devote her life to philology at Moscow State University. But due to the lack of one piece of paper, the application for the course was not accepted. I had to go home. To reduce the time that remained before the train, Vera Sotnikova went to audition at the Moscow Art Theater. There, her talent was noticed.
First love
After passing the exams, the girl was enrolled in the classes of Oleg Efremov, who is known to the audience for the role of Maxim Podberezovikov from the film “Watch Out for the Car” and Colonel Gulyaev from the picture “Battalions Ask for Fire”.
The young talent was helped by Andrey Myagkov, known for the film “The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!” and Office Romance. It was he who noticed the girl on the test.
As soon as training began, Vera fell in love. Her chosen one was the gallant handsome Yuri Nikolsky, who introduced herself to her as a successful restorer. So, an eighteen-year-old student got married.
Very soon, the woman became pregnant. But the family life of Vera Sotnikova with her husband did not work out. When the actress was in the hospital for conservation, she found out that her husband spent all their budget on expensive costumes for himself. The annoying news was that Yuri did not work as a restorer, but as a simple janitor. In addition to the man squandering the money that Vera earned, he still drank heavily and cheated on her. Therefore, the marriage immediately fell apart. Vera never married again.
The one who owns the heart
From Yuri Nikolsky, the artist had a son, whom she named Jan. Education, attempts to build a career, constant tests did not allow her to raise a child on her own.
Vera Sotnikova began a new, free, but very poor life. Biography and her men have always interested the audience and fans of the actress. But the media paid no less attention to relations with their son. Today, the actress admits: she would give up her fame to spend time with her only child.
And then she with tears in her eyes left the baby in Volgograd. The mother of Vera, Margarita Petrovna, took up the upbringing of the child. The boy lived there until the 9th grade, after which the woman took him to her in Moscow, but the relationship was already hopelessly destroyed.
Road to success
But the professional career was getting better. The training is over. The thesis was the production of "Three Sisters" according to the script of her beloved writer Chekhov. In it, young Sotnikova Vera talentedly introduced Masha.
A year passed, and the woman declared herself as a successful actress. The first screen work was the film “Convict.” In the picture, the beauty was instructed to play one of the main characters. With this work, she declared herself. Despite the success, the woman preferred to work on stage.
A talented woman played on Malaya Bronnaya. Then she gave preference to the School of Dramatic Art, which was founded by director and teacher Anatoly Vasiliev. Later there were other theaters. The woman explained such abrupt and frequent changes by the inconstancy of her character.
Prince without a fairy tale
A beautiful woman always had enough attention of the opposite sex. Successful and rich were the men of Vera Sotnikova. The biography of the actress is associated with many famous and influential people. Among them was Ernst Pindur. A German businessman often visited Russia on working visits. Once he caught the eye of a photo of a young beauty, and the man immediately fell in love with a 24-year-old actress, although she was much younger than him. But the difference of 16 years did not become an obstacle. All this time, the rich man threw his beloved with expensive gifts. She, in turn, helped all her relatives.
The German gave the woman an apartment in Moscow, a car. He offered his hand and heart several times. But a woman, disappointed with her previous marriage, was in no hurry to the crown.
Despite the influential gentleman, Vera Sotnikova did not stop working. Films with her participation were especially popular.
Femme fatale
She devoted a lot of time to performances. On one of them, she played with actor Vlad Vetrov. Between colleagues a romance arose that grew into a storm of passion. Vera left the influential German, and the new lover broke up with his wife. But sympathy faded as quickly as it was born.
In 1990, the shooting of the crime drama "Hunting for a Pimp" began. There, the beauty met actor Andrei Sokolov. There was sympathy between the young people. Vera Sotnikova and her men have always been an occasion for gossip. This time, the entire film crew watched the development of the plot. But the ardent nature of both actors did not allow them to build a normal relationship. Constant jealousy caused a break.
Special person
The next chosen one of the fatal beauty was Vladimir Kuzmin. The rock musician, composer and vocalist was already twice married and had children from previous marriages. The couple began dating in 1993. At that time, he was in a romantic relationship with Alla Pugacheva. In fact, a new passion repulsed the man from the Diva. After that, the star elite believed that the singer would take revenge on her rival, whom Vera Sotnikova turned out to be: the films will be a failure, and the theater career will fade away. But the audience was disappointed. Women did not even scandal.
The lady became the muse of a rock musician, inspired him to work. In turn, a new love has revealed unique talents in the actress. The woman directed the clips of her beloved; he, in turn, dedicated songs to her.
Together they lived a long 7 years. The reason for the breakup was Kuzmin’s excessive dependence on music. Neither his wife nor his family needed him.
