About how the girl got on set

Veronica Lebedeva could not have played in the movie "The Foundling". She shot accidentally. Everything happened in one of Moscow's cinemas. The girl and her parents watched an interesting film. Suddenly an unfamiliar woman approached the mother of a young actress and introduced herself as a director.

After Tatyana Lukashevich - that's the name of the lady - she said that soon the shooting will start, that little Veronica is ideally suited for the role of the main character. The girl's parents left their home number. My father was grumbling all the way home. He did not want to see a little daughter in this atmosphere of debauchery. Nevertheless, soon Lebedev phoned and invited to come to the tests. But by that time, the filmmakers had already made a decision. Lukashevich even at the first meeting realized that she had found a suitable actress.

Veronika Lebedeva played her star role at the age of four. It was not easy for her to act in the film. However, the director did everything possible to get used to and fulfilled any whims, which, incidentally, were few.

When Veronica Lebedeva grew up, at the request of her mother, she did not go to the theater institute, but to the pedagogical institute, to the faculty of foreign languages. After the training, she taught for a while at school. Then I got a job as an editor in a magazine. When I married Igor Sinitsyn, I left my job.

Veronika Lebedeva, whose biography interests fans of Soviet cinema, together with her husband wrote a book. But this work has nothing to do with the acting profession. Lebedeva-Sinitsyna seemed to forget about her famous role. Rarely gave interviews. I did not write, like the other failed actors, about my acquaintance with the famous artists. What is the story of the film, in which Veronika Lebedeva played her main role?

"Foundling"

The film was released in 1939. His plot is simple. The woman works a lot, so she asks for help from her elder son to look after her younger sister. But he is constantly engaged in pioneering activities. Once again, immersed in a favorite pastime, he does not notice the loss of his sister.

Five-year-old Natasha leaves the house and disappears. First she goes to a kindergarten and finds new friends there. But the kindergarten manager understands that the girl was lost. We need to call the police. However, the child disappears again.

Then the baby gets to the idle geologist, who is so fond of him that he decides to become her father and leave to live with himself. While he argues with an elderly neighbor about the upbringing of the child, the young traveler again leaves.

"Mulia, do not make me nervous!"

The girl is trying to cross the road. But it was almost knocked down by a car. Fortunately, Nina, a classmate of the brother of the heroine, comes to the rescue. The Savior decides that the "lost" should be urgently taken to the police station. And here on the screen there is a brilliant actress Faina Ranevskaya. The phrase "Mulia, do not worry me!", Which the actress said in this film, "pursued" her all her life. The role of Lali in the "Foundling" was for Ranevskaya happiness and punishment.

The elderly spouses decide to take care of the child. They take Natasha and lead to their home. True, her husband finds this wrong, because the girl already has parents. However, the heroine Ranevskaya with his opinion does not count. A powerful woman never listened to a timid man, and this time will not be an exception.

The final picture is happy. The girl regains her parents. Not adopted, but relatives. The "Foundling" painting is one of the few pre-war paintings that deals not with the class struggle and achieving universal happiness. In the plot of the film - an ordinary story from the life of ordinary people.
