Compared to her film roles, Irina Gosheva lived a much more successful career on the stage. Her heroines in productions plucked a standing ovation. But it was in the frame that the actress left a “imperishable” heritage for future generations and young actors.
Gosheva's obvious success
Irina Gosheva was distinguished from the rest of her colleagues by the full recognition of her talent, the legendary teachers prophesied a successful future for her from her student bench. After the theater college, the girl did not have to prove her abilities for a long time or to remain without a role. At the beginning of her career, it was clear what place this person would take in the national theater and cinema.
Her name indicates the greatness of the legendary Leningrad Comedy Theater and the Moscow Art Theater. Many directors with eminent names that will remain in the history of cinema and theater tried to get a girl for a role in their projects. Nemirovich-Danchenko personally begged her to play in his productions. And in the frame of her participation, Eisenstein himself sought.
Irina Gosheva continued to work at the age of 75, and at the very end of her life she received invitations to film and participate in performances. And the woman took them without thoughts of a well-deserved retirement.
Sample diverse actress
Unlike her theatrical roles on the screen, the legendary actress pleased the viewer not with such constancy. Between filming, she had intervals from one year to several years. At the same time, individual films with her participation were clearly propaganda and did not cause much enthusiasm among the audience. But there were great roles in catchy films.
At the sunset of her career, Gosheva Irina Prokofievna with her weighty track record was an example for young colleagues and a source of pride for many directors and viewers. A gifted theater actress with magnificent dramatic training could master any character of complexity. Full list of films:
- The Youth of Maxim (1934);
- “Two Brothers” (1939);
- "Anna Karenina" (1953);
- “Now let it go (1963);
- “Crime and Punishment” (1969);
- “Magic Power” (1969);
- “Yesterday, Today, and Always” (1970);
- The Conspiracy (1971);
- “Man on the Other Side” (1971);
- The Winner (1975);
- "Spring Love" (1977);
- "Seeing Off" (1978);
- “Adult Son” (1979);
- "Deputy Hour" (1980);
- “Woman in White” (1981);
- “Through the Gobi and Khingan” (1981);
- The Loop (1983);
- The Riddle of Kalman (1984);
- “Sincerely yours …” (1985);
- “Don’t come without a son!” (1986);
- Autumn Wind (1986).
She was trusted to play in a wide variety of genres. The actress embodied on the stage a lot of images of heroines from the classics of Russian literature, so she was also willingly invited to shoot adaptations of great works.
Also, Irina Prokofievna worked in musical tapes. In addition, she was entrusted with understandable and familiar dramatic roles for the audience.
Great dramatic preparation
Among her skills, no doubt, it is worth noting the combination of giftedness and an excellent theater school from the best teachers of the era. Immediately after dramatic education from a student's bench, a girl at the age of 21 is invited to work on stage. Inexperienced at the time, but clearly gifted actress Irina Gosheva accepts an invitation to the Young Theater in Leningrad. There, the future legend falls into the hands of Sergei Radlov, the great theorist in theatrical art.
It is unlikely that yesterday’s student at the age of 21 without experience of stable playing on the stage would have been invited to such a team if she did not have talent.
And the gifted girl from Arkhangelsk was one of the most successful graduates of the prestigious Leningrad College of Performing Arts. At that time, the institution was well known in the world of theatrical art. They trained excellent specialists in various branches of drama.
The technical school was founded before the revolution and was once the pride of the empire. Later, there were already prepared "legends" of the Soviet theater, the mere training in this technical school was a subject of special pride. But Gosheva Irina was the best of his graduates.
Later, invaluable experience will be added to the list of its advantages.
