Biography
Svetlana Kryuchkova was born in 1950 in Chisinau. Her parents worked in a serious organization - in counterintelligence. Therefore, Svetlana knew from childhood what discipline is. From an early age she was collected, responsible and serious.
Sveta read a lot, was fascinated by the romance of geological exploration and wanted to become a geologist. And she also wanted to study literature, but she could not combine these two professions.
She was teased for her red hair at school, no one was friends with her. And she took and went to school amateur performances, began performing on stage, singing. And she liked this lesson.
Therefore, after school, Kryuchkova went to Moscow to enter a theater university. She went through three rounds at Shchepkin's school, and failed the fourth. So that the family would not be upset, Svetlana stayed in the capital. She went to work as a locksmith at a car factory, but worked there very little. It was hard for her alone in an unfamiliar city, and she returned to Chisinau.
The next time, her parents persuaded her to enter the pedagogical institute and get an education, "like all normal people." However, the stubborn girl went to Moscow again, now to the Shchukin School, to prove that she could be an actress. And again fell through in the fourth round.
Her desire to become an actress was so strong that she already wanted to go to the theater school in Saratov. But before that I decided to try my hand at the Moscow Art Theater School - and entered!
Career as an actress
In student performances, Svetlana began to play immediately, and the first filming took place when she was in her fourth year. This was the role of Nelly Ledneva in the famous TV series Big Change. This role, perhaps, determined her entire future life and destiny - the aspiring actress suddenly became a star.
And she was taken into the series by a fluke. She brought a script to the studio, which her husband asked to give there. The director saw her and wanted to take on the role of a teacher, and then she was nevertheless approved for the role of Nelly.
After school-studio Kryuchkova went to serve in the theater, which became a family over the years of study - at the Moscow Art Theater. She worked there for two years, and then fell in love with a cameraman and went with him to Leningrad.
In the northern capital, Svetlana Nikolaevna got a job at the Tovstonogov Bolshoi Drama Theater. She is still in the main composition of the theater troupe and plays on stage.
True, her life in the BDT was not immediately successful: she was already twenty-six years old, she had already given birth to a child, and she was offered to play the role of a schoolgirl. Previously, Svetlana would definitely have refused, but then she realized that this was a real test, and agreed. She perfectly portrayed a schoolgirl on stage and became a full member of the troupe.
Wherever Kryuchkova worked, everyone loved her for her universalism: she could play any role in a performance of any genre. Artists call it “out of line”. Just think - she played frivolous girls, and respectable ladies, and prim ladies.
And if you remember her role in the film "Relatives" (1981), then one can only be amazed at the depth of the creation of the heroine's image. Together with the famous Nonna Mordyukova, they created an ingenious acting duet in this tape. The script of the film was written especially for Mordyukova, but Kryuchkova was a worthy couple for Nonna Viktorovna.
Even the episode Svetlana Nikolaevna could play in such a way that he was remembered. Proof of this is the work in Nikita Mikhalkov's painting Burnt by the Sun (1994). For the role of Mokhovaya, the actress was awarded the prize of the KF "Constellation" for the best episode.
She also had so-called "status" roles: twice she played Empress Catherine II, and in the film "Brezhnev" she created the image of the General Secretary's wife.
In 1991, Kryuchkova received two Nicky for Best Supporting Actor in SV. Sleeping Car”and“It”.
In 2010, she again won Nika for Best Actress in Bury Me Behind the Skirting Board. In this picture, she played the role of the grandmother of the protagonist Sasha.
Personal life
The first husband of Svetlana Nikolaevna was an actor. It was Mikhail Starodub who asked her to take the script of "Big Change" to "Mosfilm", because he was not taken on the main role. And when his wife was on the list of actors in this project, he began to be terribly jealous of her from a professional point of view. And he called all the time "mediocrity": he could not forgive the fact that she was taken, but he was not.
And when during the filming of the film "The Eldest Son" Svetlana met the operator Yuri Veksler, she fell in love instantly. Soon they left for Leningrad together, and their son was born. Yuri helped her professionally and personally, was a very good husband. But he was gone early.
Their son Dmitry now lives in France, he has two children.
Once Svetlana met Alexander Molodtsov and again fell in love without memory. In 1990, they had a son, but this marriage also fell apart.
