People's Artist of Russia Boris Klyuev is currently a member of the Board of the Guild of Russian Cinema Actors. He is the leading actor of the Maly Theater and has played more than seven dozen roles during his creative career.
Brief biography and career of Boris Klyuev
On July 13, 1944, in the capital of our Motherland in a creative family (father - actor Vladimir Klyuev), the future famous artist was born. Unfortunately, at the age of four, the boy was left without a father, who died untimely from heart failure. Borya was not distinguished by exemplary behavior and good studies in high school, but he was very seriously carried away by the stage.
And this played a good service in his fate. Having noted the role of a devil in the school play "Devil's Mill", he suddenly realized what it was like to be a local celebrity, and firmly decided to devote himself to the acting profession in the future.
The natural gift from the father and the active participation of the mother in his fate, who fully approved the choice of the son, played a primary role in this undertaking. But the difficult financial situation of the family, which lost the breadwinner, forced Boris to unload the wagons and work at a construction site at the age of fourteen. And then for three years he served in the ranks of the Armed Forces. After returning home, Klyuev enters the legendary "Sliver", having successfully graduated from which, he is assigned to serve in the troupe of the Maly Theater.
The debut on the stage took place, as often happens, with minor roles. It was with the performances "The Power of Darkness", "Glass of Water" and "Vanity Fair" that he began his ascent to the heights of theatrical fame. And after Boris Klyuev played the role of Sergei Sinitsyn in the play "So it will be," the theatrical community expressed their full recognition to him.
In 1968 Boris Klyuev made his debut in cinema, when in his student years he played a patrolman in the film "The Punisher". And after that, the number of his film works was regularly replenished, exceeding twice the number of theatrical projects. Currently, Boris Vladimirovich's filmography includes the real masterpieces of Russian cinema: "The Collapse of the Empire", "Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson", "D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers", "The Life of Berlioz", "Moonzund", "TASS is Authorized to Declare", "Special Forces", "Queen Margot", "Schizophrenia", "Countess de Monsoro", "The Tsar's Hunt", "Genius", "Balzac Age, or All Men Are Their Own …", "Streets of Broken Lanterns", "Voronins ".
The last film work of the artist includes his participation in the crime thriller "The Police Saga", where he, among the four main characters, plays the role of "romantic search", who began his professional career in the criminal "nineties", and a defender of citizens from the underworld.
Personal life of the actor
Behind the shoulders of the family life of Boris Vladimirovich Klyuev today there are three marriages. Since the popular actor does not like to spread publicly about his personal life, information about his first two spouses is not available in the public domain.
Since 1975, he has been married to his third wife Victoria, with whom he found real happiness and family comfort. Unfortunately, in 1969, at the age of twenty-four, his son died of heart failure. This terrible illness, which fatally took the life of his father, haunts the Klyuev family, however, fortunately, it bypassed the People's Artist of Russia.
But due to the fact that Boris Klyuev does not have other children, then, most likely, the creative dynasty on him will be interrupted.
