The most incredible subjects are encountered in the history of Soviet art. Some are known to professional critics and experts, but many remain forgotten. Honored Artist of the RSFSR Natalya Zashchipina first appeared on the silver screen when she was only four years old.
Start
Theater and film actress Natalya Zashchipina was born on January 14, 1939 in an ordinary Soviet family. His father worked as an engineer at a factory, and his mother taught piano techniques at a music school. Due to objective circumstances, the child had to survive the war. The head of the family went to the front in the first days and died a heroic death in battle with the enemy. Mother was enrolled in a concert brigade, which performed in hospitals and even in the front line. Very often she took the girl with her so as not to leave her unattended for a long time.
It is not clear why an episode from Natasha Zashchipina's childhood life did not get into any book of records. When she was only four years old, the famous director of those years chose a girl for a role in the new film "Once upon a time there was a girl." The film tells about life in besieged Leningrad. The young actress performed the role of the little blockade girl Katya superbly. We can say with good reason that after this work, Zachipina's artistic career began.
Professional activity
Natasha studied well at school. When the time came to think about the future, she decided to get a specialized education at the acting department of the Moscow VGIK. After graduation, in 1961, the graduated actress entered the service at the Satire Theater. The chief director of the theater immediately set a condition - no filming in a movie. From the first days, Zashchipina was loaded, as they say, in full. Natalya Alexandrovna appeared on stage thirty times a month.
Strictly observing the order of the chief director, Zashchipina refused all offers to act in films. She was engaged in creativity only on the stage of her native theater. Over time, people began to forget about her as a movie actress. However, the situation in the country was changing, and in the dashing 90s, the actress simply did not have enough money for bread. Not everyone will believe when they learn how actors live in modern Russia. Then Natalya Alexandrovna took up dubbing cartoons and dubbing foreign films.
Essays on personal life
In the biography of the honored artist, it is noted that she was married three times. The first marriage can be called a training marriage. The second husband died suddenly. He left a young son. And only from the third time Zashchina's personal life really developed. Husband and wife have lived under the same roof for over thirty-five years. The popular actor Boris Kumaritov loved his other half and took care of her.
In 2000, her husband died of a heart attack. To say that Natalya Alexandrovna was left alone would be wrong. She was taken by her son and daughter-in-law. Now she has to wait for her grandchildren. Or maybe one of the directors will remember and invite you to take part in a modern project.
