In the movies, she often got the roles of mothers and grandmothers. This is Kirill’s mother in Lullaby for Brother, Sergey’s mother in Faith’s Attempt, and Cream’s mother in Lone Wolf, and the cadet’s mother in Armavir. But nevertheless, the roles of grandmothers brought her great fame: grandmother Vano in The Secret Sign, grandmother Olga Belova in the Brigade, grandmother Nadezhda in Vykrutasy, and, of course, the role of grandmother Victoria Prutkovskaya in My Fair Nanny, after which the actress has added tens of thousands of admirers among viewers of different ages.
So, Alexander Nazarov, the so-called serial grandmother. Now this name is heard by almost all fans of soap operas. Many find features similar to her heroines in themselves. And this does not surprise anyone at all, because all her heroines are so familiar, almost native to each viewer, as if it were a housemate or, for example, a cute aunt.
My beautiful grandmother
Alexandra Nazarova, an actress of Soviet and post-Soviet cinema, never fought for the main roles in the projects. She gained fame already at a fairly respectable age, when she was sixty, because it was Baba Nadya, the nanny, who added the presence of the zest to every episode of “The Beautiful Nanny, ” exactly the words of her role went into quotes, as was the case with the best Gaidaev and Ryazanov films - the treasury of Soviet cinema.
Childhood
July 17, 1940 in Leningrad, in the acting family of Ivan Nazarov and Alexandra Matveeva, a daughter was born, who was named in honor of her mother Sasha. So I began to write my book on the life of Alexander Nazarov, because it will take some two or three decades, and this girl will gain fame.
Parents served together at the Leningrad New Theater (a little later it was called the Lensovet Theater). Together, they starred in films. Shortly before the start of World War II, Pope Ivan Nazarov went on tour to Vladivostok in the troupe of the theater. When the black clouds of shots and explosions began to thicken over the girl’s hometown of Leningrad, my mother, grabbing the baby in an armful, rushed away from there. They were incredibly lucky, because they managed to leave before the first days of the terrible blockade, which killed a huge number of men, women and children in perpetuity of death … The family had to move from city to city many times. Being already in Nizhny Tagil, the Nazarovs heard the good news of the victory over the Nazi invaders. Little Sasha remembered this happy day for a long time.
"Nora", touring, institute, theater
About children circus artists usually say "born in sawdust." And little Alexandra Nazarova was born in the folds of the theater backstage. It was there that her childhood passed. It was there that her debut on the stage took place. She was barely six years old when she had already played her very first role. It was a play called Nora. During the summer holidays, the girl joined her mom and dad on tours covering the entire territory of the former Soviet Union. It often happened that in the next class on September 1, little Sasha with a huge bouquet of flowers walked to a new school.
The whole life of her parents was dedicated to the scene. They knew how difficult (but at the same time honorable and interesting) such bread was. Therefore, Ivan Nazarov and Alexandra Matveeva, as one friendly team, opposed that Alexandra Nazarova, whose biography became interesting to many admirers of soap operas, also became an actress, repeating their life's journey. The girl did not agree with their very reasonable arguments and fears.
“I will decide everything myself”
And so, when once again the parents went on tour, Alexandra entered the Ostrovsky Leningrad Theater Institute, which she graduated quite successfully in 1961. After that, she became a part of the troupe of the Central Children's Theater. Four years later, when Efros decided to go to the theater. Lenin Komsomol, a lot of actors and actresses also began to play on other theatrical stages.
By this time, Alexander Nazarov had grown a little out of children's roles. She dreamed of playing some serious role. To make her dream a reality, she walked confidently into the theater. Ermolova. Half a century has passed, and the actress continues to reverently and gently remain faithful to this theater.
It was on this happy stage for her that she played a variety of roles - children, doctors, Austrians. Her work, saturated with amazing talent, was noticed not only by critics, but also by many famous people. For the role of Carol in the play “Time and the Conway Family”, she was awarded admiration and gratitude from Victor Astafyev. It was this performance that was recorded on tape and was broadcast on television an infinite number of times.
Cinema, cinema, cinema …
The actress hit the big screen immediately after graduation. In her debut film, in which her partners were Andrei Mironov, Zhanna Prokhorenko, Evgeny Zharikov, the heroine Nazarova appears in the very first frames. Later, Alexandra Ivanovna was lucky to share the set with Vitaly Solomin. And for playing the role of Sofia Perovskaya, she was awarded praise from Konstantin Simonov himself. By the way, this is the most expensive role for the actress. The personal life of Alexandra Nazarova became brighter after the birth of her only and beloved son Dmitry. She even left the profession for several years, engaged in his education. True, the theater did not leave the stage.
In the late seventies, she again returned to Soviet cinema. Almost immediately, she was offered the role of a passenger on an emergency flight, which, before the plane landed, was looking for her son (by strange chance, also Dima). This film, loved by several generations of viewers, is the Crew.
TV series
The time has come for innovations in domestic cinema. They started shooting series, which until recently were the prerogative of Western cinema. One of the first actresses, who with enthusiasm, interest and joy decided to work in serial films, became Alexandra Nazarova. Her filmography by this time totaled about sixty paintings, but she was not at all against enlarging this list. She played in “Little Things in Life” and “Thief”, “Brigade” and “Return of Mukhtar”, “Cadets” and “Black Goddess”. There were many other interesting series. Nevertheless, the greatest fame came to her when the first episodes of the comedy series “My Fair Nanny” began to appear on television screens. It was in him that she played the role of the extravagant and direct woman of Nadia - Nadezhda Mikhailovna, beloved grandmother of Viktoria Prutkovskaya - Alexander Nazarov. The actress has gained incredible popularity; children and adults were eagerly awaiting the release of a new series; they began to recognize her on the streets, said words of gratitude and asked for autographs.
Now her heroines more and more often are ordinary grandmothers. But at the same time, they are completely different: sick and tired, kind, smart and intelligent, unbalanced, a little funny and constantly forgetting everything. And still, every heroine is loved by viewers.
Another of several unusual and memorable roles of Alexandra Ivanovna is the role of the mother of the main character Vera (the film "Princess on the Beans"). This overly active elderly woman is in constant readiness to forget about the family, and about her daughter, and granddaughter just to attend another rally or meeting of her beloved party.
The voice acting of foreign series, films and cartoons is also interesting to this actress. Her voice now gives new life to children in films and heroes of various cartoons (she voiced a small ghost of Casper, a duckling in Disney's “Duck Tales” and many others).
To date, the theater repertoire of Alexandra Nazarova has three performances.
My son!
She left her first wife Alexander Nazarov (her son died 5 years ago) for the sake of a new bright feeling, bright passion. The second marriage also ended in divorce, when her husband emigrated from the country of the Soviets, leaving Alexandra Ivanovna with their common child, the only son of actress Dima.
The reason for the death of the son of Alexandra Nazarova, no matter how strange and terrible it may seem, is banal simple. The mother did not have the strength to protect her beloved child from the influence of a bad company. Dmitry contacted not very good people and was killed. He was only forty-one years old.
