It is not easy to get the title of People's Artist. Every adequate person who has chosen an acting profession dreams of such a status. Yuri Vasilievich Gorobets timely received this title and has long been the patriarch of Russian cinema.
A distant start
They don't come to work in the theater or cinema from the street. At the same time, the routes that future celebrities have to navigate can be difficult and dangerous. Yuri Gorobets was born on March 15, 1932 in a working class family. Parents at that time lived in the city of Ordzhonikidze. A few months later, my father was transferred to work in Shchekino, which is located near Tula. It so happened that the child grew up and was brought up in harsh conditions. The war began when Yura went to second grade.
Father went to the front and died a heroic death. The boy stayed with his mother. They were lucky - the enemy was unable to capture the city where they lived. However, during the next bombing of residential areas, Yuri received a concussion and began to stutter badly. This speech impairment made the daily life of the teenager very difficult. Gorobets studied well at school. There were not enough stars from the sky. He persistently studied in a drama studio and gradually got rid of stuttering. Being engaged in creativity, Gorobets learned a large number of poems, poems and excerpts in prose.
The path to recognition
After school, Yuri took part in the All-Union competition of amateur performances. He took first place in the nomination of readers and received an incentive for admission to the famous GITIS. As a student, he talked a lot with interesting people, watched how his peers live and what goals they set for themselves in the future. Having received a specialized education, he went on assignment to serve in the Yaroslavl Academic Drama Theater. Two years later, he and his wife transferred to Odessa.
Yuri Vasilyevich's professional career was developing quite successfully. In 1961, the actor moved to the capital at the invitation of the director of the Moscow Drama Theater. Ten years within the walls of this temple of arts flew by like one day. But it's time to part. For objective reasons, Gorobets moved to the Mayakovsky Theater. And here the actor has served almost "top ten". From 1989 to the present day, his work record is kept at the Moscow Art Theater.
Essays on personal life
Theatrical actors very often work in the cinema. There are many examples of this. The life path of Yuri Gorobets was no exception. The first time he was filmed back in 1958. As is customary, over time, the roles became more and more full-bodied. After the release of the film "Come Tomorrow", the whole country recognized the young performer. The actor's biography lists all the pictures where he took part.
A couple of warm words can be said about the personal life of Yuri Vasilyevich. The popular theater and film actor married in 1956. Husband and wife of a colleague in the shop. Tamara Ivanovna Lyakina graduated from GITIS, and served in the theater all her adult life. They have love and mutual respect in their home.
