Actress Natalya Bogunova, one of the most popular and beautiful movie stars of the USSR, by the age of 25 she played Daisy in "Running on the Waves", was the Snow Maiden in "Spring Tale". The artist won the general audience love after the film "Big Change". In the picture, she played the role of Svetlana, the wife of Ganja.
The premiere screening of Big Change was a huge success. The audience liked the picture. The teacher of literature Svetlana Afanasyevna, the wife of one of the main characters of the film, Ganzhi, was played by Natalya Vasilievna Begunova. To the chagrin of fans, after this work, the talented actress almost disappeared from the screens.
The road to vocation
The biography of the future celebrity began in 1948. The child was born in Leningrad on April 8. The mother raised her daughter: her father passed away.
From the age of ten, the gifted girl was admitted to the Vaganova Choreographic School. It was there that Igor Talankin, who was looking for the main character for the film "Entry", noticed her. The young ballerina fit perfectly into the image of Vali.
After the premiere in 1963, Natalia became a star. She had to leave ballet, too many classes were missed due to filming. From now on, the girl saw her future in cinema: she received many invitations from directors.
Success
Almost after the premiere, Bogunova played Inna in the film "Goodbye, boys!", Then there was work in the film "Boy and Girl".
An already quite successful actress became a student of VGIK. On the course of Boris Babochkin, Natalia was considered the most talented. She was in demand in the cinema, found happiness in her personal life. The future director Alexander Stefanovich became her chosen one.
Harmony in their union lasted three years. Then conflicts began. The spouses were rarely seen, since they occupied the shooting all the time. Natalya played the role of Daisy Garvey in the film version of Green's Running on the Waves, reincarnated as the Snow Maiden for The Spring Fairy Tale based on Ostrovsky's work.
First problems
Each of her works was highly appreciated by both viewers and critics. However, the most famous was her Svetlana Afanasyevna "Big Change". The actress was predicted a flurry of new proposals, but everything turned out differently.
In 1973 she played the main character, the bride, for the last time in the fairytale film “Clever Things”.
The lack of new proposals was explained by the fact that the sublime and naive Bogunova did not correspond to the new film type of uninhibited and bold heroines. In 1974, the marriage finally broke up.
Completion of a career
Natalia played on the stage of the Mossovet Theater. Relations in the troupe were distinguished by constant tension. After one of the conflicts, the actress was diagnosed with mental problems. The star left the collective in 1987.
The last film work was the role of the postmaster in 1992 in "Running on the Sunny Side".
After a personal tragedy, the actress returned to the clinic in 2011. She returned full of new plans. The celebrity attended the Amur Autumn Film Festival, participated in a talk show on television, and began preparing her concert program.
The performer could not realize her plan: in 2013, on August 9, Natalya Bogunova passed away.
