In the cinema, a person's daily life always looks brighter and more intense. But reality is also much more interesting than how it is presented on the screen. The fate of the Soviet actress Rimma Shorokhova is a clear illustration of this.
The child was born on July 7, 1926. Parents lived in a small Ural village, which was founded next to a metallurgical plant. His own father left his family overnight and did not care about his daughter in the future. The mother remarried. The stepfather turned out to be a decent person and treated Rimma with attention. The girl studied in a regular school and for the time being did not even think about the profession of an actress.
In the difficult year of 1942, when weapons for the front were forged in the Urals, Shorokhova graduated from an eight-year school and entered a metallurgical technical school. Despite the meager food and harsh conditions, the students tried to diversify their daily life. In their free time and practice, young people staged all sorts of performances in an amateur theater. Rimma with a great desire was engaged in creativity on an impromptu stage. And she was good at portraying characters from popular movies.
Professional activity
In 1946, Shorokhova received a metallurgical diploma and went to work at the central laboratory of the aluminum smelter. A year later, after discussions at the family council, with the permission of her parents, she went to the capital and entered the famous VGIK from the first time. After completing a course in 1951, she received a higher education in acting. Rimma was accepted into the staff of the Mosfilm film studio. She played her first role in the film "Rural Doctor". The audience did not notice her, but the young actress found out how the film crew lives.
The next film "A Case in the Taiga" became significant for Shorokhova. Viewers and critics saw a mature actress who is able to transform into the most complex image. A short time later, the cult film Spring on Zarechnaya Street was released. Rimma Ivanovna was entrusted with one of the main roles. The career of the film actress Shorokhova was very successful. In the fifties, she starred in almost all popular films. The film "The House I Live In" has not lost its appeal for Russians today.
Essays on personal life
In the philistine environment, distorted ideas about the personal life of popular actors live. In fairness, we must admit that there are grounds for such conclusions. The private side of Rimma Shorokhova's life does not arouse interest among journalists from the "yellow" publications. The first time she got married was a student. My classmate Vladimir Gulyaev became the spouse. The husband and wife even starred in the same film. But the love passed, and the couple parted.
For the second time, Rimma Ivanovna married a cameraman from Czechoslovakia. Fate brought them together on the set of the 1959 film "Song Interrupted". After a while, the young people formalized their relationship and moved to a permanent place of residence in Prague. There is no information about how the Soviet film actress lives today.
