It is difficult to find a person who does not remember the film “Operation“ Y ”and Shurik’s other adventures” directed by Leonid Gaidai, in which the main character Shurik rocked the naughty girl Lena, who did not let him spend the evening calmly. But now this girl has grown up and has become a grandmother herself. In the movie, where she got through her father’s acquaintance with the director, she no longer starred.
Daughter of Peter Gradov
The father of Tatyana, who played the girl Lena in the famous comedy about Shurik, was a translator, poet and writer. Petr Gradov lived on the same landing with the famous director Leonid Gaidai and was on friendly terms with him. Therefore, when the director needed a girl for the movie, he remembered the daughter of Peter Gradov.
The writer immediately agreed, and so Tanya Gradova, who at that time was only four years old, began acting in the famous comedy film right in her home pajamas. But after the actress’s first such experience, the girl decided that the cinema wasn’t for her, because she was interrupted by spotlights, and it was boring to repeat the same text several times.

Meeting with the idol may well become a reality. The only question is its cost.
It is worth noting that the director Gaidai himself was not happy with the filming with the girl, since he constantly demanded from Tanya that she would peep with one eye whether her grandmother had left, and the girl always had two eyes open. But her work in the film was rewarded with a good fee and her parents bought her a doll made in Germany.
An unexpected meeting with Shurik
In the family of Gradovs, the brother of Tatiana became an actor, and the girl herself chose a different path. She entered the theater department of GITIS, and also received additional education in the field of literature. She met with her partner on the set Alexander Demyanenko ten years after the release of the famous comedy film. Tatyana became quite an adult, and the famous actor did not even recognize her. Until Tatyana herself reminded him of an episode from the film.
