Alexander Pashutin is a famous Soviet theater and film actor. In 1999 he received the honored title of People's Artist of the Russian Federation.
Biography
Alexander Sergeevich was born in the capital on January 28, 1943. From an early age he had a craving for the stage: he participated in the productions of the kindergarten. He also wanted to learn how to play the piano.
When the boy was seven years old, his parents enrolled him in a song and dance club in the House of Pioneers. Alexander became a soloist in the best Soviet children's choir. The guys performed on large stages and toured the territory of the immense Soviet Union.
In 1955, Alexander spontaneously decided to become a cadet at the Suvorov Military School. For 5 years, he learned various crafts, received an excellent education, and also developed a firmness of character and determination. At the school, Alexander played in theatrical performances and sang in the choir. The young man felt that his true vocation was acting. Upon learning of her son's desire to become an artist, the mother was extremely shocked and unhappy. But, despite her protests, after the eighth grade, Alexander entered the studio of the Stanislavsky Theater. Pashutin studied with such outstanding personalities as Nikita Mikhalkov, Inna Churikova and Evgeny Steblov. During his studies, the young actor worked as a mechanic and a janitor.
In 1964, Alexander began studying at the Moscow Art Theater School.
He performed his first major role in the play "Portrait", where he performed in the character of Chartkov. Pashutin took part in such performances as "Madame Bovary", "White Guard", "Passion for Mitrofan", "Dear Friend" and many others.
In 1974 he starred in the film Prize, where he played the role of Kachnov. After the premiere, the actor became popular and famous. As a rule, if a career in cinema has gone uphill, then theatrical life begins to gradually fade. Pashutin, on the other hand, kept the balance and was equally successful in these two areas. The actor himself admits that he is trying to act like the last time. He also has a peculiar flair for weak projects. Somehow Alexander even collected paintings, which he refused. Indeed, after the premiere, it turned out that the projects were not interesting to the viewer. By 2018, the actor has accumulated more than 200 roles in TV shows and films.
Personal life
In 2018, Alexander Sergeevich celebrated his 75th birthday. He leads an active lifestyle and is happily married for the third time. His last marriage has been going on for 28 years.

The second wife, Alla Zakharova, was also an actress. They had a daughter, Maria. The family was going through financial difficulties, which was the impetus for the breakup. After 6 years, they separated. Despite this, the man maintained a warm relationship with his daughter. At the moment, Maria gave the actor 5 grandchildren
