The famous Russian or, as it used to be called, the Soviet actress Natalya Gundareva remembered and was loved by more than one generation of spectators. Her career in film and theater is expressed in a solid figure - 35 years.

Youth

During her youth she did not even think about working in films. School productions in an art circle at the House of Pioneers did not instill in her love for the theater.

After the 10th grade Natalia went to work as a draftsman in the design bureau. And in the evenings she was educated in the evening school. For two years, I was able to climb the career ladder to assistant chief engineer of the project. By that time she had already finished the evening school and entered the preparatory course at the Moscow Civil Engineering Institute.
