Irina Muravieva: biography, filmography and personal life (photo)

People's Artist of Russia Muraviova Irina Vadimovna is known to millions of moviegoers as a cheerful adventuress Lyudmila Sviridova, provincial Nina Solomatina and as Nadia Klyuyeva, who soared above the ordinary. She was destined for a creative path. In the theater Irina Vadimovna was lucky to play with Faina Ranevskaya, Rostislav Plyatt, Varvara Soshalskaya. She starred in films with Clara Luchko and Yuri Yakovlev. For the role of Lyudmila in the movie "Moscow does not believe in tears," the actress, who fell in love with the Soviet audience, was awarded the State Prize in 1981. Russia highly appreciated her work, she was awarded many government awards - Orders: Honor, Friendship, Honor, For Services to the Fatherland.

Talking about herself, Irina Vadimovna always emphasizes that the main thing in her life is still not the cinema, but the theater.

Childhood, youth

Irina Muravieva, the "most charming" woman, was born in Moscow on February 8, 1949. Her father, military engineer Vadim Sergeevich, met Lydia Georgievna's mother during the Great Patriotic War, releasing her from captivity. The Muravyov family had two daughters (Irina is younger than two sisters).

Despite the forced publicity, our heroine, in essence is a very modest person. Irina Muravieva's biography contains many inconsistencies. It is felt that the actress respects and loves her close people and respects their desires. For example, the name of her sister was never found in any source of information. This speaks of the delicacy and upbringing of our heroine.

During the training in Khamovniki secondary school No. 589 (information accidentally got on the Internet), the girl had a dream - to become a junior high school teacher. I liked learning, my motivation for studying was present. In the family there was a strict upbringing, consonant with the house-building: the sisters were taught to respect work, to take responsibility for close people and for their actions, the cult of knowledge was supported in every possible way.

Mama Lydia Georgievna, as the actress recalls, was not only a wonderful hostess, "dressing" daughters, she closely watched their "moral appearance", tried to always be "under supervision." In particular, if the sisters went to the ice rink in Luzhniki, the mother was there to prevent the "harassment" of strangers to their girls.

Choice of profession

However, already at the age of 15, Irina Muravyova was forced to "correct" the dream: the humanitarian orientation took precedence over general educational efforts (although she studied diligently), creative nature awoke, first the "attraction" of literature and then the theater "impacted". Irina's guide to the unknown world of the stage was "My Life in Art" Stanislavsky - her handbook. The girl actively participated in the performances of the school drama circle.

Dramatic studio CDT

The acting path met the school graduate with thorns. Twice (in 1966 and 1967), Irina tried to enter the Moscow theater universities, and for two years she was not able to do it.

In Shchukin's same school, the future star was recommended to "forget about art". (By the way, then Natalia Gundareva came to the "Pike", which Irina, as a theatricalist, had seen earlier in the performances.)

Perhaps someone would have such failures and broke, but not the heroine of our article. Could the biography of Irina Muravyova not be associated with the theater? The actress herself answers this: "No!" She knew and felt that she would be an actress and that she would cope with it.

Reflecting on the last failure, she decided to "gain mastery", having stopped her choice at the drama studio at the Central Theater for Children. Here the competition was not so high, and besides, the Moscow youth were recruited mainly.

Central Children's Theater

After four years of training, the girl was taken to the theater troupe in 1970.

Irina Muravyova made her debut on stage as the boy Fedi Druzhinin, the character of the play "2001" (based on the play by S. Mikhalkov). The repertoire of the actress ZDT was quite extensive and varied: Lyubov Shevtsova from Fadeyev's Young Guard, Viola from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, Shura Tychinkin from Sombrero Sergei Mikhalkov, the image of Crow from Andersen's The Snow Queen. That's right, on the roles of talking birds, tomboy schoolchildren and romantic schoolgirls as the yeast grew the creative potential of the actress.

After several years of theatrical work, it became apparent to those around him that on the stage with meticulously tactful and deeply intelligent Irina invariably metamorphosis takes place: it turns into a stream of living energy.

But at the same time there was always a special, trembling attitude towards the young spectator. Deeply individually finishing the next performance, the actress always said goodbye to her young audience in its own way. She just asked them to remember her.

And so it really happened. The young spectators, who had become adults, greeted her many years later, recalling this.

Family life

Irina Muravyova's family biography is not similar to the biographical bestsellers of many Russian art figures, according to which, like strips on a street crossing, they pass: wedding, divorce, wedding, divorce ...

In 1973, she married the director of CDT, Leonid Eidlin, who later lived in "consent and love" for 40 years, raising two sons: Daniel (1975) and Eugene (1983). It remains only to be puzzled , How, despite her creative work, she provided the children with comfort, education, and proper supervision of Irina Muravyova. My husband Leonid Danilovich, a graduate of the director's faculty of GITIS, joking, boasted: "The main thing is to be able to choose a wife!" Their family, where mutual respect always reigned, can be called February: Leonid Eidlin was born on February 2, son Eugene - 6, Irina Vadimovna - 8, son Daniel is 15.

Death of her husband

Narrative about their close circle, unfortunately, one has to speak in the past tense: not long ago Irina Muravieva lost her husband (her husband died suddenly on February 16, 2014, at the age of 77 due to a stroke).

Their children grew up in a warm creative family atmosphere and went to the feet of their parents. Probably, it should be so. The eldest son Daniel Eidlin graduated from the School of Arts (Blois, France). He is an actor in one of the Parisian theater studios and in parallel is shot in serials. He is married and has a son.

Behind the younger - Eugene - the producer faculty of GITIS. Irina Muravyova's children love her and have great respect for her. They are unanimous in that its best role is the role of mother. Irina maintains a warm family relationship with her sister. They are very friendly and help each other.

The first kinrol

However, let's return to creativity. How did the filmography of Irina Muraveva start? Let's agree that in order to "purity of the genre" we will not take into account the television performances of 1972-1973 when Irina Vadimovna played a lot of roles: Natasha in the social drama of Konstantin Khudyakov "The page of life", Bonk in the musical Tale of Pancho Pancheva "A fairy tale about four twins, a sixteen-year-old girl in a play about high school students," Moscow Vacations "by Andrei Kuznetsov.

However, the "key" to the roles of film images that will bring her the all-Union cinematic fame, actress Irina Muravieva found in the television series. We are referring to the role of the beginning painter Zinaida Baglayeva from the TV series "Different People", similar to the future kinorolyam.

Let's note, the first full-length film with her participation became Samson Samsonov's detective "Purely English Murder" (in which the actress played the role of Suzanne Briggs). The film premiered in December 1974.

Work in the Moscow City Council Theater

Having worked for 7 years in the CDT, Irina Vadimovna, of course, felt the framework of the children's repertoire, so in 1977 she moved to the Mossovet Theater. At the same time, working in it, the actress for the next year entered, and five years later completed the course of O.Ya. Remiz at the State Theater Institute. Lunacharsky.

Actress Irina Muravieva in the theater on the street. Bolshaya Sadovaya played a number of memorable roles, one of them was Grushenka in a drama based on the novel "Brothers Karamazov" by FM Dostoevsky. She also played in Emil Braginsky's comedy "Room", Valentine Chernykh's play "Excess of Power", Pavel Khomenko's comedy "Halfway to the Top", Rustam Ibragimbekov's play "The House in the Sand."

"Moscow does not believe in tears"

Invitation to Vladimir Menshov to appear in the feature film "Moscow does not believe in tears" was a rare success. This is necessary to the director, when he watched TV, I remember the game Irina Vadimovna in the TV show! It's time to shoot a "cool" film with a decent budget ... But when Irina Muravyova first saw the film, she began to doubt, was upset and burst into tears. It seemed to her that everything that Lyudmila had done on the screen was terrible, vulgar. (The natural reaction of a truly talented person is to doubt.)

Menshov's film was a great glory, and the heroine of our article, perhaps, outplayed him in all (this is our subjective opinion). Moreover, the film was recognized and appreciated in the world. In 1980, the Americans awarded the director Oscar (though in absentia). And US President Ronald Reagan, on the recommendation of his advisers, before the first meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev, looked at him eight times to understand the "mysterious Russian soul."

Filmography by Irina Muravyova

Immediately after the deafening success of "Moscow ..." Irina Vadimovna began work in the musical melodrama "Carnival" by Tatyana Lioznova. In 1981 millions of spectators saw his premiere.

The main role, a rabid load. Practically from Irina alone, it depended on the degree to which life would "breathe life" into this film. Happened. Fused. The audience saw: this actress can do anything. 17-year-old provincial girl Nina Solomatina, played by a 31-year-old actress, was more than convincing.

And four years later, a new take-off - the film Herald Bezhanov "The most charming and attractive" and the role of Nadia Klyueva. Finally, she almost equaled the age of her heroine (that also thirty years old). Melodramatic plot, a remarkable ensemble of actors (Alexander Shirvindt, Tatiana Vasilieva, Vladimir Nosik) provided the picture with success. However, the key role in it still played Muravyova Irina.

The films followed one after another (Irina was actively filmed until the 1990s (in those years there was a crisis in the country and in the film industry too.) Ironically, this happened precisely when the potential of the actress reached its climax. Her films were invited to appear in those hard times: her works in the 1990s include the following roles: Eugenia (melodrama "This Woman in the Window", directed by Leonid Eidlin), Galina Kadetova (melodrama L. Quinikhidze "Actress From Gribov "), the role of Ksyusha's mother (the comedy of Alexander Pavlovsk "Zephyr in chocolate"), nurses of the Faith (the series "With new happiness!", Directed by L. Eidlin).

Now Irina Vadimovna is removed rarely and selectively. Critical enough to the scripts and contemporary cinema Muravyova Irina. She chooses the films, responding to the proposals of the directors, for some of their internal principles. Perhaps this is justified: do not "waste" on random movies. Among her recent years of film work - Anna Semenovna from Elena Zhigayeva's comedy "The Best in the World of the Grandmother" (2010), the episodic role in the comedy of Vladimir Tumaev "Chinese Grandmother" (2011). Both of these roles were awarded prizes at the VIII Film Festival and at the "Nika" festival, respectively.

Small Theater

Muravyova is a person with a harmonious combination of modesty, tact and dignity. She really is a universal actress, she can do anything. When, due to the intrigues in the Mossovet theater, she tried to impose irrelevant, gray roles, Irina Vadimovna told the director that it was very clear that her talent did not correspond to his direction and left.

Since 1993, she works at the Maly Theater. Irina dreamed about this: to fully demonstrate the talent of the dramatic actress. Viewers go to Muravyov. She presents her images to them - the landowner Lyubov Ranevskaya with her sense of beauty, with her blooming cherry garden, the symbol of renewal and unification, Irina Arkadin from Chekhov's Seagull, Evlampia Kupavina in Ostrovsky's Wolves and Sheep.

The actress really lives by the theater, is devoted to him, loves it immensely.

Vera

The question of faith by Irina Vadimovna is not discussed. She believes because her parents believed her because her parents believed them, because this is a natural succession for the Russian Earth, which should not break. Once her grandmother gave her father, seeing him off to the Patriotic War, with a prayer, sewing a leaf with her in the lining of her tunic. And Vadim Sergeevich came back from the front, he returned without a wound ...

Irina was immediately baptized by birth. In 2003, the actress played the role of parishioner Timofeevna in the 12-series picture of L. Eidlin "The Savior under the Birches." The author of this TV show in 12 chapters - Irina Vadimovna's husband - brought to the audience a lively and bright story about the life of the parish church. Irina Vadimovna's play is warmly appreciated by the audience, she is qualified as a "confession of good", "piercing cinema", which finds "a resonance in the soul."

The bright actress is inclined to indifferently endure "praise and slander" and believes that the secret of woman's happiness is in obedience, meekness, humility, however, provided: if it is too early to get married.

Conclusion

It is easy and pleasant to write an article about such a bright and talented person. Photos of Irina Muraveva familiar to everyone. Russian people appreciate her excellent acting work, her wonderful movies.

What can we, her audience, tell her? Probably something that I really want to convey from the heart: to express deep human sympathy in view of the death of her spouse Leonid Eidlin, in a Christian way, to wish Irina Vadimovna to stand firm this blow, and then - to continue her dignified and bright life for the joy of children, grandchildren and all Kind people who appreciate her talent.
