Tamara Alyoshina is a wonderful Soviet actress who fell in love with the audience for her role in the famous film released in 1945 - "Heavenly Slow Mover", where she played Senior Lieutenant Masha Svetlova. In total, the actress has about twenty movie roles. In 1957, the actress was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the RSFSR.
Alyoshin had a wonderful acting career, but she left the cinema twice for a long time.
At first, this was due to the birth of a son, who needed constant care. The actress donated her work for the sake of the child and stopped performing on stage and filming for several years.
The second time she left the cinema for almost twenty years was associated with a divorce. Tamara's husband, having met another woman, left the family. Alyoshina could not come to terms with parting, so she could not even think about any creative activity at that time.
Childhood
Tamara was born in the spring of 1919 in Petrograd. Even as a child, the girl loved to tell different stories and expressively read poetry, which was noted by her relatives and friends.
During her school years, the girl immediately became an active participant in amateur performances, was constantly busy in performances and performed at concerts. Even then, Tamara firmly decided that she would become an artist.
Theater and cinema
After school, the girl immediately entered the theater institute and successfully graduated from it, having received an acting education a year before the start of the Great Patriotic War.
Aleshina's creative biography began from the moment when she was assigned to the troupe of the Drama Theater. A. S. Pushkin. Her work is inextricably linked with this theater, on the stage of which she performed for almost 55 years. Tamara got her first role in a play based on the play by Alexander Ostrovsky - "Ardent Heart".
She also appeared in the cinema immediately after graduation. This happened in 1940, when Alyosha was invited to shoot the picture "Friends". She got a small role and did not bring fame, just like the following works in several films.
Success and nationwide love came to the actress in 1945, when the picture "Heavenly Slow Mover" was released. She got, though not the main, but very bright role of Maria Svetlova - the bride of one of the main characters, pilot Sergei Kaisarov. Critics were not very happy with the appearance on the screens of such a frivolous, in their opinion, picture, but the audience was delighted, and the film remained the leader of the box office for almost two years.
Instead of continuing his film career, Aleshina, at the peak of popularity, leaves the cinema for almost eight years, taking care of her son and his upbringing.
Again on the set Alyoshina appears in 1953 in the film "Alyosha Ptitsyn develops character", and two years later fans of her talent were able to see Tamara Ivanovna in the film "Mikhailo Lomonosov", where she played the role of Empress Elizabeth. After that, they began to talk about her again as a very talented performer and dramatic actress.
In the following years, Alyoshina starred in new films constantly. And again, at the next peak of her popularity, Tamara leaves the cinema. The reason for her disappearance from the screen was her divorce from her husband.
Alyoshina returns to cinema almost twenty years later. Her last works were roles in films: "Ferry", "Charlotte's Necklace", "Bouquet of mimosa and other flowers." She soon stopped filming for good.
Tamara Ivanovna left the theater stage when her health no longer allowed her to participate in performances. She was sick for a very long time and practically did not leave the house, and for the last year she had not got out of bed.
Tamara Ivanovna Alyoshina died in September 1999.
Personal life
The famous theater actor Andrei Tolubeev became the husband of the actress. They got married when Tamara was 25 years old. A year later, a child was born in the family. The son, named after his father Andrey, also later became a famous actor.
After twenty years of marriage, the husband became interested in another woman. For a long time Tamara hoped that Andrei would return to her, but this never happened. The breakup affected the psychological state of the actress, and she was depressed for many years. This was the reason for her leaving the cinema for many years.
