Sometimes in life everything turns out completely not the way a person plans. Success doesn't even guarantee a good start. The proof is the fate of the actress Natalia Strizhenova.
Natalya Olegovna by nature received a bright appearance, giftedness, from childhood they were considered promising. However, all aspirations were shattered by the difficult reality of the eighties.
Carier start
The biography of the future performer began in 1957. The girl was born into a stellar family of famous actors Oleg and Marianna Strizhenov on July 28. The parents met on the set of the movie "The Gadfly", in which they played the main roles.
When Natalia was eleven, the family broke up, but the father continued to communicate with his daughter. The famous director and actor Alexander Strizhenov is Natalya's paternal brother. The girl dreamed of an artistic career. After graduating from school, she chose education at the capital's academic choreographic school. Then there was admission to VGIK.
The film career started early. A fifteen-year-old teenager was invited to shoot the film "Moscow-Cassiopeia". The schoolgirl got a cameo role in the film. She played Lena, the sister of one of the main characters, Pasha Kozelkov.
Subsequently, Strizhenova constantly received small and rather prominent roles. At the time of completion of training at VGIK, the actress's portfolio included 4 works. She participated in "Middle of Life", reincarnated as a friend of the sailor Grigoriev for a comedy mini-television series about a village precinct. In the film "And Again Aniskin", a hero familiar to the audience, who has become a major, investigates the disappearance of ceramic exhibits from the museum.
Kinoroli
The girl's memorable appearance affected the characters of the heroines she performed. Huge eyes and a charming face provided the actress with the role of film travesty. In the 1979 film "Preparing for the Exam" Natalia starred when she was 22 years old. She got a character much younger in age. The performer played a high school student Lyudochka Kusikova. It turned out very realistic.
According to the plot of the film, the main character Katya in a dream sees that a noble stranger comes to her aid. At school, the girl learns that a new student has appeared in the class. Katya decides that this is the hero of her prophetic dream. However, the romantic image is completely destroyed by the actions of the young man.
In 1983 Strizhenova was again offered the image of a young heroine. In a cameo role in the film adaptation of Dostoevsky's novel "The Teenager", the actress reincarnated as the Olympics Fanariotova, who looked at most nineteen.
The new work was the drama "Bus Driver". In her, Strizhenova was the blonde Lena. The audience remembered the episode thanks to the striking appearance of the performer.
There were no main roles in the biography of Natalya Olegovna. She played the maid of honor in the famous film "Tales of the Old Wizard", appeared as a young Joan Halford in the film adaptation of Priestley's "Time and the Conway Family." But this rather bright episode did not become a stellar appearance on the screen.
Theatre
By the mid-eighties, three more small film roles were performed. Natalia took part in the film "On the Eve", "Without a statute of limitations", "The victims have no claims." The characters of the actress always got passable and insignificant. Neither talent nor external data helped. Then Strizhenova disappeared from the screens for a long time.
A difficult period began, which led to the complete decline of domestic cinema. Many famous actors had a hard time. The situation was even worse for beginners and non-professionals who did not have time to declare themselves in big roles. In 1990 Natalya played the inconspicuous heroine Svetlana in the melodramatic project "Provincials". After that, the actress did not act in films.
The work in the theater did not bring fame and glory. After graduating from VGIK, the graduate entered the troupe of the Moscow guest theater of the film actor. However, even there she did not receive any of the leading role. From 1988 to 1990 Natalya Olegovna took part in the production of "Demons" based on the work of Dostoevsky. She played the role of Lizaveta Nikolaevna, a girl with a tragic fate.
After a night spent with a man, the unfortunate heroine is shocked by the news that she is not loved. The girl dies because of charges of involvement in the murder of the Lebyadkins.
In the production of Guilty Without Guilt, the playgirl on stage embodied the image of Nina Korinkina, an actress. In 1994 she worked in the New Year's performance "The Wizard of the Emerald City" in the role of the Snow Maiden. Creativity is limited to small roles in 13 films and the depiction of supporting characters on the stage.
Life off screen and stage
Strizhenova's personal life turned out to be no less difficult. In the eighties, she became the wife of her colleague, actor Nikolai Kholoshin. In 1987, a child appeared in the family, the daughter of Alexander. The birth of the baby did not contribute to the preservation of the union. The couple soon broke up. The father did not raise his daughter, all the worries about Sasha fell on the shoulders of the mother and grandmother.
After the ramp of the once huge country, there was practically no work. Grandmother took her granddaughter to her place. Natalya tried to re-establish her life. The daughter did not find a common language with the new mother's chosen one.
The grown-up Sasha entered the theater school. The girl went on stage with her mother, showed good hopes. But she had to leave her beloved studies after Natalia Strizhenova left life on May 21 in 2003.
In memory of her mother and grandmother, Alexandra created a website. It contains information about the artists, there are photographs. Alexandra Nikolaevna herself does not dream of an artistic career. She brings up four children, takes care of the house.
