Juno Kareva is a Soviet and Russian actress, theater teacher. She was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, Honored Artist of the Republic of Tatarstan.
The talented performer has a difficult fate. Yunona Ilyinichna was born in Kharkov on July 7, 1933. Father, Ilya Freidman, was a famous architect, mother, Elena Karazhelyaska - a pianist. From childhood, the child was instilled with a love of music.
Looking for a vocation
The happy childhood of the only beloved daughter in the family was interrupted by the war. Eight-year-old Yuna with her mother was sent by her father to her relatives in Penza, and he himself stayed to organize the evacuation of Kharkov factories.
He left the city just before the German troops entered it and walked to his family. His wife and daughter did not like to see him alive. Ilya Samoilovich was subsequently seconded to Barnaul, but he was afraid to send loved ones there and moved his family to Novosibirsk to friends.
There the girl went to school. Together with other children, she packed shells at night, and in the morning she read to the wounded in the hospital. In her performance, the poems sounded so heartfelt that the performer was awarded with applause.
After the liberation of his hometown, Feldman was summoned from Barnaul. His family returned home with the actors of the Kharkov theater who were on tour in Ulan-Ude. Juno met them on the way. The performance of the teenager's poems was carefully listened to by the chief director of the troupe.
After arriving home, Alexander Kramov invited the girl to play children's roles and began to teach her the basics of acting. He recommended that the girl who graduated from school to enter the capital's theater university. Then Juno changed her surname and became Karazhelyaska, like a mother.
In 1953 she came to Moscow. At the Moscow Art Theater, the girl successfully passed all the exams. She was confident of enrollment. However, the selection committee gave, in their opinion, advice to the too diminutive applicant to come in a year. And, although she was promised subsequent enrollment without exams, the girl was very upset.
Theatrical career
She went to the Shchukin school. The exams were passed there without difficulty. The graduate became a student. After completing her studies, the talented student was offered a job in Kharkov or in the capital. The graduate, unexpectedly for everyone, asked to go to Vladivostok.
Upon learning of his daughter's decision, the father began to dissuade her. She accepted the offer of a classmate and went with him to the Kazan Drama Theater. There were no mutual feelings between them, the hasty marriage did not last long.
A little time passed, and the ex-husband Platov returned to the capital. Juno did not leave Kazan. The theater director immediately warned the aspiring actress that her surname was too complicated and she would have to change it. So Karazhelyaska turned into Kareva.
She quickly gained fame as one of the most popular artists in the capital of Tatarstan. In the city, she performed over a hundred roles. She played in the production "Hot Summer in Berlin", which did not leave the stage for many years, in the play "In Front of the Mirror". The heroine of the latter, Liza Turaeva, has become one of the actress's favorite characters.
The writer Kaverin, as a token of gratitude, presented Junona Ilyinichna with his book with compliments to her performing skills. In 1961, Kareva remarried. The then unknown geologist Stanislav Govorukhin became her chosen one.
The artist charmed him from the first meeting. A child appeared in the family, a son Sergei. Soon Govorukhin was invited to television. After working there for a short time, he became convinced that his vocation was filming.
The husband left the capital to study. Family life at a distance went wrong. The couple broke up. However, the relationship between Karev and Govorukhin remained friendly.
Teaching and cinema
The director remembered his ex-wife when he was looking for a charming and effective performer for the role of Gruzdev's wife in the film "The meeting place cannot be changed." He used Juno, who brilliantly played the heroine.
In the late sixties, Kareva again tried to establish her personal life. She became the wife of the composer, stage director, director of the Tatar State Philharmonic Society Marat Tazetdinov. He adored his wife, but the happiness did not last long.
Tazetdinov loved to get together with friends at home, and after performances and teaching at the music school, Juno needed peace and quiet. Relationships between the ex-spouses remained excellent after the divorce. Kazan has never had extra tickets for performances with the participation of the beloved artist.
At the very peak of her career, Kareva decided that it was time to pass on the experience to young people. She recruited her first course for herself on the basis of a local theater school in 1971. A few years later, Vadim Keshner began working with her, whom the performer met during the preparation of Hot Summer in Berlin.
Chulpan Khamatova, Sergei Ugryumov, Yuri Ilyin and other talented directors and actors became the students of the teachers. The teacher was proud of her students.
She starred with Chulpan Khamatova in the films "Lunar Dad", "Country of the Deaf", "Dancer's Time". One of the last in the work of Yunona Ilyinichna was the role in the film "Sheremetyevo-2" Kuzmenko.
Kareva adored her son. Sergei Stanislavovich grew up a real man. He created films, wrote books. Govorukhin Jr. died at fifty. The death of her only son knocked down the actress, who survived him for a year and a half. The famous artist passed away in May 2013.
