If a person has known fame and success in his life, he can hardly give up all this. However, the actress Lyubov Strizhenova, who in her life had everything she needed for female happiness and for professional realization, decided that this was all tinsel, not worthy of attention, and became a nun.
Biography
As a girl, Lyubov bore the surname Lifentsova, she was born in 1940 in Moscow, a year before the start of the terrible war. Therefore, all her childhood, scorched by the war, was remembered by the devastation and half-starved years after the war.
The Lifentsov family lived in poverty, but the girl secretly dreamed of becoming an actress. From an early age, she showed a craving for acting, even at school she knew that only this profession and this creativity attracted her with some unusual force. Therefore, after receiving a certificate of secondary education, she entered the Moscow Art Theater School.
Lyuba entered easily, studied with pleasure, and during her studies she starred in two films and played in several performances. And then - admission to the troupe of the Moscow Art Theater and work in this magnificent theater. The actress Lyubov Strizhenova gave this theater more than forty years, leaving the stage only in 2007. She has played all possible roles in classical and contemporary works and in fact has become a symbol of the theater.
Lyubov Vasilievna also hosted the popular program "Adults about Children" on the State TV and Radio.
Film career
Already in the first year of university, Lyubov began acting in films - it was a cameo role in the film "Street of Youth" (1958). The second role was also very small, but here Lifentsova saw the work of such venerable actors as Nina Urgant, Nikolai Burlyaev and Viya Artmane.
But immediately after graduating from the studio school, she was waiting for the role of the girl of the main character in the comedy "Stitches-Paths", and this was already serious work. However, real fame came to Lyuba with the detective "Case from the Investigative Practice", where she played the main role of the investigator Sukhareva. The biggest difficulty of this work was that it was necessary to approach the investigation not formally. Lifentsova coped with this role: her investigator Sukhareva turned out to be strict, but fair.
After this film, Love appears less and less in the cinema, because it does not find suitable roles for itself. However, she has a theater, and it takes a huge amount of time and effort.
Later, already in the seventies, cinema again entered her life, and she appeared in the films "Earth, Demand" (1972), "Eternal Call" (1976), "Turn" (1978) and others.
The last role came to her in 2007 in the comedy film "Love-Carrot", where she played a grandmother.

After this divorce, Lyubov Vasilievna did not marry - she began to think about monasticism. She decided that as soon as her children and grandchildren grow up, she can start serving God. This happened in 2008, and now Lyubov Strizhenova bears a different name - Mother Judith. She lives in Chuvashia, in the Alatyr Monastery.
