To act in films is not for you to fry eggs. Although there are certain subtleties in the preparation of such a simple dish. Ekaterina Voronina is from the category of those actresses who can transform, according to the conditions given by the script, into the appropriate image. Charm, hard work, talent and strict disposition - all this is about her.
Mastering the profession
Some of the authoritative critics noticed that the whole Soviet and Russian cinema is based on such actresses as Ekaterina Alekseevna Voronina. Her assets include the main and episodic roles, meaningful and lightweight. Work on stage and in the cinema is given to her easily, without visible stress. Voronina's biography is short and, in a sense, ascetic. Ekaterina Alekseevna was born in 1946. An ordinary Muscovite girl. An ordinary Soviet family. Correct upbringing - the child was not pampered, but he was not punished with a belt.
She studied well at school. I did not violate discipline. When it was time to choose a profession, I decided to enter VGIK. At home, they reacted calmly to the choice of their daughter, the parents trusted her. Having received a higher education in 1970 and a specialty "theater and film actress", she came to work at the Gorky film studio. None of the venerable directors offered her serious roles. But the suitors had to literally fight back. She was an attractive girl and just as serious. This character trait is partly due to the fact that the ancestors of her parents were from the Old Believers.
Ekaterina conscientiously, with full dedication, performed any work. She starred in short films. She voiced the roles. And gradually the attitude towards her began to change from condescending to respectful. The audience even noticed the episodic roles played by Voronina. Of course, the young actress worked hard, honed certain skills, gained experience. Modern cinema is technically and organizationally complex production. Before a movie appears on the screen, a lot of work is done that does not require talent, ear for music or vocal skills.
At first, Voronina worked in a "hidden" mode. Her last name did not even get into the credits. So in the tapes "Moscow - Cassiopeia" and "Jung of the Northern Fleet" Catherine starred in short episodes. The creators of the paintings did not consider it necessary to include her name in the output. Such cases were not considered discrimination, it was just that there were such rules in the system. The young actress knew this very well and took it for granted. Soon, the already famous actor Sergei Nikonenko, who, expanding his creative range, studied directing courses, met her.
Bends of the big path
Patriarchal upbringing did not allow Katya Voronina from the first days of her acquaintance to rush into the arms of a pleasant, but unfamiliar young man. There are many stories about the personal lives of popular artists, in which the truth is mixed with the imagination of the writer. Ekaterina absolutely did not need such kind of "advertising". She preferred not to talk about her personal life, tastes and preferences when choosing a life partner. Courtship Sergei Nikonenko, who had already been married twice, took with caution and caution. But a drop of water wears away even the most durable stone-granite.
In 1972, Sergei and Ekaterina legalized their relationship. As is often the case, the husband and wife began to work together. More precisely, the director Nikonenko directed films, and Voronina played certain roles. Outside observers in those days noticed that love for his wife inspired and inspired the young director. Catherine, thanks to her observation and insight, created all the necessary conditions for her husband in the house so as not to distract him from immersion in another project. Personal life for the fragile nature of an actor and director is very important. A year after the wedding, Voronina gave birth to a son.
The career of the actress is developing progressively and popularity among viewers is growing. She played the memorable role of Lyuba for a long time in the comedy "Yolki-sticks". The script for this film is based on the works of Vasily Shukshin. During his lifetime, the writer showed interest in how a person lives away from capitals and large cities. Director Nikonenko sensitively caught the message inherent in the stories. And nature, and the scenery, and Voronina's choice for the main role were accurately calculated. The film was a success, as they say, in all respects.
Another work of the director Nikonenko in a creative union with his wife is worthy of special mention. A cult film called "I Want Your Husband", a comedy genre. But at the same time it touches on the most acute social and psychological problems. The director invited the famous writer and satirist Mikhail Zadornov to the picture. A great creative tandem has developed on the set. Of course, the performance of other actors is also commendable. However, the image embodied by Ekaterina Voronina is etched into memory for a long time. This film is useful to review for married women and not only them.
The realities of our time
From the moment when the situation in the country changed dramatically, market mechanisms began to be introduced intensively, the workers of the film industry also had to rebuild. Film production has transformed into a business. Continuing to act in films directed by her husband, Catherine is doing a lot of social work. The actress participates in the work of the Union of Cinematographers of the Russian Federation. He is a member of the Guild of Russian Cinema Actors. All these troubles require effort, time and even financial costs.
In the mid-90s of the last century, a family couple with great efforts opens the "Yeseninsky Cultural Center" on the Arbat. The apartment where the poet once lived was in a bombed state. Overcoming all bureaucratic obstacles, they managed to solve the most difficult task. Sergei Nikonenko, back in 1971, embodied the image of Sergei Yesenin in the film "Sing a Poet Song." Both husband and wife love the work of the famous poet. Ekaterina is still listed as the director of the center.
The family lives in a tense rhythm. The grown-up son gave his parents a grandson and granddaughter - Peter and Catherine. The son has a second family. The first wife, Voronina's daughter-in-law, died of a serious illness. Grandson Petya was then taken care of by his grandparents. Knowing the upbringing and character of Ekaterina Voronina, there is every reason to predict the continuation of the creative dynasty.
