Alexandra Tabakova, daughter of the legendary Soviet and Russian master of theater, cinema, and the most unique actress. Unfortunately, in her work and career there was only one star bright role, but she was remembered by moviegoers and critics. Why didn't Sasha continue to develop her career?
Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov's daughter Alexandra literally burst into the world of Russian cinema. Critics and directors predicted a brilliant career for her, but they were wrong. Sasha did not act in films anymore, and in her father's theater there were no main roles for her, despite her talent. Why did it happen so? Is this Oleg Pavlovich's fault? Why, in recent years, Alexandra, practically, did not communicate with her relatives - her father, his wife, older brother?
Biography of actress Alexandra Olegovna Tabakova
Alexandra was born in Moscow, in early May 1966, into a creative family. Her dad is the well-known Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov, her mother is the actress Lyudmila Krylova. In addition to Sasha, the family had the eldest son Anton. At the time of the birth of his younger sister, he was already 6 years old.
The children of the Tabakov-Krylov couple literally grew up in the theater. But such a way of life did not interfere with learning. For example, Alexandra showed excellent results in exact sciences, was an excellent student in mathematics.
After school, following the recommendations of her parents, Alexandra entered the Moscow Art Theater School. The group in which Sasha studied was often called "star" - her fellow students were Masha Evstigneeva, Efremova Mikhail, Innocent Vyacheslav. The head of the course Vladimir Bogomolov and the master of acting Kira Golovko noted that Alexandra Tabakova was one of the best students, they were sure that she would become the star of the theatrical stage and cinema screens, but their dreams were not destined to come true.
How the career of Alexandra Tabakova developed
Sasha graduated from the Moscow Art Theater School in 1987. Teachers, especially the master of stage speech Tatyana Vasilyeva, persuaded the young actress to stay at the university, but Alexandra chose the stage. She became part of the troupe of the theater, which was directed by her father. Perhaps this was her main mistake in her career.
Oleg Pavlovich was sure that children should achieve success in life and profession on their own. The main roles in the performances invariably went to other actresses, most often to Marina Zudina, his former student.
For the first time on the stage of the theater, Alexandra Tabakova appeared in the television play "Armchair", where she was entrusted with a cameo role. Her stage partners were Boris Shcherbakov, Alla Pokrovskaya, Sergey Gazarov. Zudina shone in the title role.
Alexandra understood that only in the theater, under the “supervision” and guidance of her father, she would not be able to develop her career the way she wanted. She decided to try her hand at cinema. There were many offers, since directors and critics highly appreciated the talent of Tabakov's daughter. Sasha chose the film "Little Vera" and was not mistaken.
Filmography of Alexandra Tabakova and career on radio
The social drama "Little Vera" became a real breakthrough for Alexandra Tabakova, despite the fact that she played a supporting role in it. The film was extremely relevant for that time, it became one of the highest grossing films.
A year after the release of Little Faith, the director of the film decided to shoot the tragicomedy Dark Nights in the City of Sochi, and again invited Alexandra Tabakov to one of the secondary roles. Sasha was waiting for the main roles, but agreed, and again flashed. The image of her heroine was no less vivid than the main ones. But after this film, Alexandra disappeared from the world of cinema for a long time, only in 2003 she reappeared in the frame, in the short film "Another District", and again in the episode.
Alexander Tabakov was able to continue her television career only in Germany, where she left after a quarrel with her father. There she got married, learned the language and appeared on the screen as a TV presenter for several years.
In the early 2000s, Alexandra returned to Russia. For several years she worked as a radio host on the Silver Rain channel. Her partner in the Mishanina program was Mikhail Kozyrev. In addition, Alexandra Olegovna hosted the TV show "Let's Go!" But she never returned to the cinema and theater.
Personal life of Alexandra Tabakova
In the life of Alexandra Olegovna there were two episodes of serious relationships with men, but only one ended in marriage - the first. Her future husband Jan Lifers was introduced to Alexandra by her fellow student Gennady Vengerov. The charismatic optimist literally charmed the girl, the young people began a whirlwind romance. After a quarrel with her father because of his departure from the family to Zudina, Alexandra agreed to marry Jan and left with him to Germany.
In 1988, a few months after the end of the filming of "Little Faith", Alexandra and Yan had a daughter, Polina. At the age of 7, the girl had already starred in her father's film "I Am The Boss".
After a divorce from Lifers, Alexandra returned to her homeland. After a while, a man reappeared in her life - actor Andrei Ilyin. The marriage was civil. To make a marriage proposal to Alexandra, according to Andrey, he was prevented by her eternal nagging about the lack of money and household trifles. Realizing that their relationship only brings them negative, the couple decided to leave.
Relationship with family and father's widow
The daughter of Oleg Tabakov, Alexander, was never distinguished by a docile character, and she took hostility towards her father's decision to leave the family, she did not hide her feelings. Even after many years, she, like her brother Anton, did not forgive Oleg Pavlovich for his mother's betrayal.
When his father had children in a new family - Misha and Pavel, Anton Tabakov managed to find the strength to improve relations with his father. But Alexandra never made such a step. She was not even at the funeral of Oleg Pavlovich.
