When the war started, Nina was a third grader. Father went to the front. And her, two brothers and her mother were evacuated to the Penza region. They settled in the village of Surmino.
Nina grew up an obedient and inquisitive girl. In the future, she dreamed of becoming a primary school teacher. However, fate decreed in its own way.
In the 10th grade, Grebeshkova finally decided on the profession. Everything was decided by chance. One day, the girl recovered for her friend’s birthday.

Student years

Appearance
A miniature girl with blond hair, kind eyes and a radiant smile. Such in her youth was Nina Pavlovna Grebeshkova. Her height was 155 cm. Our heroine did not consider herself attractive. Although there were always many fans around her.
Acquaintance with the cinema
As a first year student, Nina Grebeshkova began acting in films. Her first role is a graduate of the school in the film "Brave People" (1950). The girl did not gain all-Union fame, but she gained invaluable experience in the frame. The director was pleased with the cooperation with a student of a theater university.
For almost two years, Nina was claimed for episodic roles. And in the third year, a talented girl was sent to Leningrad. She participated in the filming of "Comrade's Honor." Grebeshkova successfully got used to the image of Gali Bogacheva. This role has become a kind of springboard for the further development of her career.
The young actress managed to study at the university and act in films. In her creative piggy bank, such paintings as “Restless Spring” and “Test of Fidelity” appeared. However, these films did not bring fame to her.
Collaboration with L. Gaidai and G. Danelia
A significant role in the successful career of our heroine was played by her beloved husband. It's about Leonid Gaidai. We will talk about their personal life a little later. In the meantime, we dwell on the working moments.

But she refused a tempting offer from another director to please her husband. Nina and Leonid went to the Caucasus. It was there that the shooting of the "Caucasian Captive" took place.

In the future, Nina Pavlovna starred in almost all the paintings of her husband. She also collaborated with an equally famous director - George Danelia. The fruits of their collaboration are such films as “Tears were falling”, “Nastya” and “Eagle and Tails”.
In the last years of his life, L. Gaidai asked his wife for forgiveness for not having removed her in the main role. Nina Pavlovna never took offense at him. She understood that cronyism in the movie was a thankless task.

Love story
The acquaintance of Nina Grebeshkova and Leonid Gaidai took place within the walls of VGIK. A naughty girl of short stature immediately liked the guy from the director's course. Lenya was not only superior to his beloved, but also older than 8 years. However, this did not stop them from falling in love with each other.
This "inch" became the director's muse. In Nina, he was attracted by such qualities as simplicity, optimism in life and sincerity. Leonid invited our heroine to play the role of a Frenchwoman in her reporting performance. Student Grebeshkova, without thinking twice, agreed. Everything was top notch at the rehearsal. Here are just a scene with a kiss a little embarrassed girl.
Leonid Gaidai beautifully and persistently courted Nina. He presented bouquets to the lady of his heart, showered compliments, and arranged for her walks in the night city. As a result, the girl agreed to a serious relationship with him.
Grebeshkova Nina Pavlovna: family
In 1953, lovers played a wedding. The celebration was modest. Nina and Leonid signed in one of the capital's registry offices. Further celebration took place at home.
Gaidar was offended by his wife. The fact is that Nina refused to take his last name. It's simple: directors and viewers knew her as Grebeshkova.
The family life of two creative people was far from ideal. At first, the young had to huddle in the room of Nina's parents. On a small area lived 5 people. These are the parents of our heroine, her younger brother and the young spouses themselves.
Over time, it was possible to solve the housing problem. L. Gaidai and N. Grebeshkova moved to a 3-room apartment. Soon they had a common daughter Oksana. The newly made father did not cherish the baby. But he immediately told his wife that he no longer wanted children. For Nina, this turned out to be a real blow. After all, she dreamed of a big family. But over time, the woman came to terms with the fact that she had one daughter.
Widow
In November 1993, director L. Gaidai passed away. Grebeshkova Nina Pavlovna (photo above) remained a widow. She carefully preserves the memory of her beloved wife, with whom she has been married for 40 years. Her closest people at the moment are daughter Oksana and granddaughter Olenka.
