From the biography of Alexander Konstantinovich Fatyushin
The future popular actor was born on March 29, 1951 in Ryazan. Alexander's father was a driver, mother worked in a factory. Fatyushin was the youngest of three children. He grew up as an ordinary boy. He was fond of football.

After graduating from school, Alexander decided to apply to a theater university. However, the parents accepted this decision without enthusiasm. The sister generally told Alexander that Alexander had no chance of becoming an actor with such a surname. However, the brother was persistent. And after a while their name was recognized by the whole country.
