Biography of Zeldin Vladimir Mikhailovich

People's Artist of the USSR Vladimir Zeldin will soon turn 99 years old, and he is still full of energy - leads an active life, is removed to the cinema and plays in the theater. Many wonder how in such years you can keep a clear mind, work. But Vladimir Mikhailovich does not drink, does not smoke, always tried to go in for sports. Here is one of the facts that shows how bright Zel'din's biography is. Once, already in his old age, at a film festival in Sochi, he bathed in the sea when the temperature of the water hardly reached 15 degrees. Even his younger colleagues did not dare to do this, and Vladimir Mikhailovich, like a real walrus, dived, swam, and then did the exercises on the shore.

Childhood

Biography Zeldin begins in 1915, when on February 10 he was born in the city of Kozlov (in a new Michurinsk). His mother worked as a teacher, and his father had a conservative musical education. Zeldin's family was filled with an atmosphere of art, often played musical instruments, read books, talked about literature and poetry. All the sisters and brothers of Vladimir Mikhailovich owned a tool - someone was playing the piano, someone was playing the violoncello, someone was playing the violin.

In 1924 the family moved to Moscow. When the boy turned 14 years old, Zeldin's biography replenishes with a sad fact - his father died, and in 3 years his mother. To survive the tragedy the young man was helped by a paramilitary school. The boy diligently studied, went in for sports - ran on skis, skates, played football, volleyball. All this helped him, even becoming an orphan, not to get into a bad company, not to start smoking and drinking.

Biography of Zeldin Vladimir would not be complete without one significant event - in 1930 he took part in the military parade on Red Square. It seemed that the young man simply destined to become a military man, but because of the problem with sight, the medical board did not give him a ticket after the school to the nautical school, about which he dreamed. Thanks to this, the country acquired a beautiful actor, who later became great.

Theatrical and film career

But then he still did not think to become an artist. Zeldin's biography of that time does not differ by his extraordinary character. He worked at the factory as a pupil of a locksmith. But this position did not appeal to the young man. An outlet for him was performances in theatrical brigades at factory festivities. And fate went to meet the creative soul of Vladimir. Somehow he saw an announcement about admission to the school at the Theater named after MGSPS. Vladimir came to the exams, but, as he thought himself, did not pass the test. However, the young man was accepted and enlisted in the theatrical school.

That's how the young man got first to the theater, and then to the cinema. Thus was born the great artist Zeldin. His biography is a wonderful film work.

Vladimir Mikhaylovich himself remembers that the shooting took place in the harsh environment of the war that began, it was necessary to shoot in breaks between enemy raids.
