Eugene Uralova is a famous Soviet actress of cinema and theater. Honored (1994) and People's (2000) artist of Russia. The owner of the medal Zhukov. In this article you will be presented with a brief biography.

Childhood and study

Eugene Uralova (photo below) was born in 1940. Together with her mother they were taken out of the besieged Leningrad. But they got surrounded and began to live in a partisan detachment.

After school the girl entered a technical school. Evgenia was to become a draftsman and already received a distribution to the plant. But fate decreed otherwise. Uralova went to enter the theater together with her friend. And she succeeded. The girl studied at night, and worked in the morning. Eugenia had to work in different places: a cleaner, a laboratory assistant, and a janitor.

In 1964 she successfully graduated from the Leningrad University of Cinematography, Music and Theater. A year later she became an actress of the Moscow Drama Theater named after Ermolova.

«July Rain»

The everyday life of the megalopolis came to life on the screen; The business was crowding, bubbling, the crowded flow poured along the busy streets of the capital. But in the crowd a couple of times turned and wary, looked inquiringly at the audience a young girl. Thus she turned her attention to herself. And to take her eyes off her was simply impossible ...

Her appearance on the big screen was waiting in advance. The screenplay of the film "The July Rain", written by Marlen Khutsiev and Anatoly Grebnev, was published long before the premiere of the film. He made the reader think, awaken emotions. Therefore, interest in the picture was quite high. The press regularly published articles on the progress of the shootings, photographs of the actors and details of their biography.

Talent of the director

Hutsiev's ability to convey the rhythm of modern life, as well as his accurate, responsive reaction to the spiritual atmosphere of that time, made every director's film memorable. We can say that his paintings were a reflection of the biography of not only Khutsiev himself, but also the surrounding reality. Maybe that's why they caused such public resonance.

There were still discussions about his previous film, where there were twenty heroes. In the new picture he shot thirty-year-old characters. As a rule, at this age a person has already chosen his own way and was formed in the civil and human sense.

Search for the heroine

Grebnev and Khutsiev wanted the main character of their paintings to be a complex person, with serious demands, demands for themselves and others. And under these criteria, very few actresses suited. Therefore, the search for the main character took so long. As a result, the role of Lena was approved by the actress Yevgenia Uralova.

The girl barely turned 24, and she just finished her studies, after joining the Yermolova Theater. But Uralova has already managed to play a debut role in the play "Time and family Conway". That Eugene got the role of Kay.

Behind Uralova there were several years of work in production, a number of mastered professions and corresponding skills (she was engaged in amateur art, she studied at the radio technical school, worked as a designer and laboratory assistant). Now the girl had to do serious serious work in the cinema and theater.

Matching role

Eugene Uralova, or rather, her natural data, fully corresponded to the director's concept of Khutsiev. Critic L. Anninskiy perfectly explained the reason why this actress got the part: "Look at her nervous, sharp, agile face - it fits very easily into the type of urban modern woman. How on this face flash brakes of feelings quickly, how skillfully hiding nervousness behind laziness of speech. This woman easily enters the crowd, takes her rhythm, but at any time can get out of it. The director periodically brings to us the face of the actress, and behind the careless strand of hair we see in her eyes a terrible longing. "

Best role of the year

In 1968, Yevgenia Uralova, whose biography is presented in this article, received the title of the best performer of the year. It was awarded to the actress by the magazine "Soviet Screen", which interviewed the country's leading critics.

Helen's role in the film "July Rain" was a success, principled and reflecting the enormous work done by the cameraman, scriptwriters and director. The art of Uralova was elevated to the intellectual level. It was impossible not to notice the emotional richness of thought. It turns out that the creative manner of the artist, the nature of her art were laid in the first film.

Difficulties in finding roles

And then the actress Yevgenia Uralova, whose personal life was regularly discussed in the media, began to experience difficulties in finding suitable roles for her. The artistic embodiment of Lena from the "July rain" was so strong that such heroines in other projects simply was not. And to agree to the embodiment of a character of a smaller scale would be dangerous and incoherent.

The actress was far-sighted and determined, trying to be a creative person, able to solve the most diverse and complex tasks. She patiently waited for her role, where one could not repeat the character, but open it again.

Therefore, the list of her films is so small. Evgenia Vladimirovna always looked for the untrodden path among the difficult roads of artistic truth and left her the brightest trace. Today it is already obvious to everyone that the actress has repeatedly demonstrated her commitment to the art of subtle and profound psychological analysis.

"Wedding day"

In 1968, Eugene Uralova, whose personal life is described below, played Klava in the film "Wedding Day". His first dialogue with the main character, which became the prologue of the film, she conducted expressively and with restraint. In its short "do not" feel not only the sharpness of the refusal, but also respect for their previous relationship. Explanations and conversations would be humiliating and unnecessary. In this frame, which lasted for several seconds, the actress was able to tell without any superfluous words about a new, not very happy love. At the same time, she managed to maintain her dignity without hiding the pain from her own impotence and the inability to influence the situation.

Cooperation

Uralova happened to work with different creative personalities - L. Malevann, A. Dzhigarkhanyan, O. Efremov and other actors of different schools and directions. But Yevgenia Vladimirovna feels more confident in the psychological school. As well as in the paintings that were created by the directors of this direction.

Personal life

Eugene Uralova three times married. About the first wife, almost nothing is known, since this marriage of the girl took place in the pre-actor period of her life. The second husband of the artist was Vsevolod Shilovsky. Young people sincerely fell in love and thought that they would live together until the end of their lives. But fate has developed differently. On the shooting of another picture, Uralov met the poet and bard Yuri Vizbor. He dedicated many beautiful poems and songs to Eugenia. Parting with Shilovsky became inevitable. However, a few years later, Vizbor has left Uralova for another woman, leaving her with her daughter Anya. But until the end of his life he was warmly treated by his ex-wife and did not lose contact with her.

Conclusion

Eugene Uralova still retains a courageous and joyful attitude to work and art. She carefully analyzes her roles and notes the mistakes made. Yevgenia Vladimirovna believes that acting is self-restriction, self-discipline ... An artist needs a firm character, as well as a strong immunity to all kinds of temptations and temptations. And this is given only through training in the highest school called life.
