Childhood of the legendary actress

Left with a sick mother and middle brother, the singer went through all the unthinkable difficulties. It was necessary at night to collect water and carry it by buckets to the fourth floor. Mom could not move independently, and the brother was still small and helpless. Having coped with night duties, it was necessary to run for bread. Often he no longer had. The cards for food were protected like the apple of their eye. But one day they were stolen. Left without bread crumbs, they were starving for a long time. My mother's cousin helped me, sending modest parcels with provisions to her relatives. The soldiers who brought them openly endured their verdict - the girl, like a skeleton, will not survive. But she survived!
