Iya Savvina: biography, personal life, filmography

While still in school, Iya Savvina (biography, personal life of the actress described below) participated in amateur performances. And she often played at the university in the university. This laid the foundation for further acting career. After all, the girl did not have a theatrical education. Fortunately, on her way of life Iya Savvin (photo below) met people who gave her a piece of their own knowledge. Communication with them already represented a kind of learning. This article will describe a brief biography of the actress.

Childhood

Iya Savvina was born in Voronezh in 1936. After the end of World War II, his father left the family, and the girl stayed alone with her mother. She became an idol for her daughter. Iya was always proud of her own mother. After all, Vera Ivanovna was the only student on the course that graduated from the Voronezh Medical Institute and became an excellent doctor. But, in spite of admiration for her mother, Iya Savvina chose a different profession - a philologist. Here the girl was waiting for the first disappointment. Arriving in the capital, the future actress learned about the completion of admission to the Philological Faculty of Moscow State University. After a little reflection, the girl submitted documents to the journalism department of the same university. Fortunately, Ia entered, having bypassed very many entrants. In 1958 she successfully graduated from Moscow State University.

Teachers

Perhaps the first mentor of Ii was Igor Lipsky - the actor of the theater Vakhtangov, who headed the theatrical student collective. It was he who saw in the girl with a silver voice and clear eyes a great hidden talent. When the director Rolan Bykov staged the play "Such Love" based on the book by Pavel Kogout, Lipsky recommended that he take on a key role for Savvin. But at the first acquaintance Roland did not see in Ie the main character. On the other hand, Bykov was pleased to work with her. When the first rehearsal took place, Savvin was not able to hear even in the first row. Then Rolan Antonovich explained to the beginning actress what is the message to the auditorium.

Iya Savvina perfectly learned the lesson. Subsequently, she so realistically embodied the image of Lydia Matisova, that Bykov simply could not rejoice. The play "Such love" always went with constant success. Iya in the student environment was given the status of an "actress". To the praise from fellow students, Savvin always smiled modestly, and pride broke out in her soul. The girl firmly decided not to leave the theater, while working as a journalist.

Also, the formation of the heroine of this article was strongly influenced by Nikolay Mordvinov, Vera Maretskaya, Faina Ranevskaya and Oleg Efremov. Especially the warm Iya Savvina, whose biography is in many film encyclopedias, spoke about the operator Andrei Moskvin. She considered him a genius and the main person on the set. Andrei Nikolaevich always could raise the mood of Savvin. When the actress was all falling from his hands, he took her to the camera room and gave her his signature tea.

The first film role

Playing in the student theater, Iya Savvina, whose personal life was not yet arranged, did not even suspect of the imminent glory. Director Joseph Kheifits was going to put a picture of "Lady with a Dog" according to Chekhov's story. The role of Gurov agreed to play Alexei Batalov. The female role has so far remained vacant. Kheifitsu helped with the choice himself Batalov. Somehow Alexey Vladimirovich was watching a performance in the student theater. One of the roles was played by Savvin. The girl impressed Batalov with her naturalness, which, unfortunately, was absent in the actresses with experience. Joseph relied on the advice of the artist and confirmed Eeyu for the main role. Savvina embodied the image of the chaste and captivating Petersburger Anna Sergeyevna. The painting was a great success and received several international awards. And she herself received a letter with thank-you words from Faina Ranevskaya herself. This was the best proof of the talent of the heroine of this article.

1960s

One of the most notable works of this decade was the "Lady with a Dog" mentioned above. Also worth noting is the "Sinner", shot by Alexander Borisov based on Dostoyevsky's novel. It became one of many anti-religious paintings that appeared at that time and marked the time of the "Khrushchev's thaw". It's nice to watch the meekness and kindness of Xenia, played by Oia. At the end of the film, she was punished for sinful love.

In 1967, Iia Savvina, whose photo flaunted in many newspapers of the country, played the part of Dolly in the artistic film Anna Karenina. The heroine of the film is decently exhausted by the illnesses of children, a restless and huge house, childbirth and betrayal of her husband, who is filled with health and irresponsible, like a spoiled child.

1970s

These years brought the actress a lot of bright roles. Iya Savvina (biography, personal life of the artist described in many thematic encyclopedias) participated in many projects, but the most notable were only three: "The Diary of the Headmaster", "The Open Book" and "Garage." The latter brought her even more popularity.

The plot of the satirical comedy "Garage", filmed in 1979, was the real case - a meeting of the construction and garage cooperative. It was in it was the director of the film Eldar Ryazanov. Throughout the whole picture, the issue of excluding "extra" shareholders in connection with the surrender of a part of the territory for the construction of the highway is being solved. Savvina played deputy director Lidia Anikeeva. At the end of the film, she became one of three members, who were expelled from the cooperative. The reason was banal - Anikeeva was robbed of the car. And according to the charter of the organization, a person without a car can not be a member of it. Even her high position and the existing regalia did not help her.

1980s

This decade was not very fruitful for the actress. Iya Savvina, whose personal life did not interfere with the work, appeared in nine scenes. The most notable projects were the tragicomedy "Tears Droplet", the film "Our Vocation" and the drama "Three Years".

Separately, I want to mention the painting "Private life", which was shot by Yuri Reisman in 1982. Oia embodied the image of Abrikosov's wife Natalia Ilinichna. The protagonist of the film, who works as a director of the company, soon must retire. Only now he realized that he practically does not know how to live a normal life, being "out of work". Loneliness, jealousy and pity from his relatives make him reconsider his priorities, and try to change everything ... The film received many nominations and prizes at the Moscow and Venice festivals.

1990s

In the nineties three pictures with the participation of the heroine of this article were published. Iya Savvina (biography, personal life of the actress aroused wide interest among the public) played in the melodrama "The plot for two stories," the comedy drama "Chekhov and Co," and also in the film "Trotsky." All three projects with confidence can be called successful.

2000s

During these years Iya Savvina played mainly episodic or supporting roles. For example, in the film Two Comrades, the actress embodied the image of the grandmother of one of the main characters. And in 2003 Iya Sergeevna participated in the shooting of a youth film about a writer who wanted to become a director. In the same year, Savvina starred in the avant-garde melodrama "Bedtime Scenes". Kirill Serebrennikov made it in the spirit of a reality show, where people totally do not trust each other. The actress played the role of the mother of the main character.

Work on TV

Iya Savvina (biography, artist's personal life regularly discussed in the media) did a lot of work in this area. She was the author and leading of a number of television programs about Russian writers: Saltykov-Shchedrin, Ostrovsky and Turgenev. In addition, Ia Sergeevna wrote several film-related notes about the works of L. Orlova, F. Ranevskaya, N. Urgant, M. Ulyanov, S. Jurassic, etc. Under her aegis, the pictures were filmed by gifted Moscow actors of different generations and first-class television crews With director Thorstensen.

Personal life

While still studying at Moscow State University, Iya Savvina met Vsevolod Shestakov, a scientist who headed the faculty of geology. About him at the university went one legend. It would be like Vsevolod Mikhailovich came up with one important formula between appearances on stage in the play "Arturo's career". Subsequently, she was called the "Shestakov formula" and included in all textbooks.

Vsevolod and Iya became friends on the basis of their falling in love with the student theater. They co-rehearsed and played together. And in the year of graduation Iya Savvin, whose biography will become an example of imitation for many actors, married Shestakov. A happy couple settled in an apartment on the Frunzenskaya embankment. They have always been fun and noisy - regulars of their house are scientists, friends and actors. They joked each other, argued on different topics and read poems until late.

Misfortune

The appearance of a sick child - that's what trouble Vsevolod Shestakov and Iya Savvina soon encountered. Seryozha's son was born to a couple with Down syndrome. The actress was immediately offered to take the child to a special boarding school. But she resolutely refused. Iya independently developed from Sergey the ability to cognize the world. Also, Savvina invited teachers home. Friends and colleagues advised the actress to quit her job for her son. But even then Iya Sergeevna flatly refused.

At that time, 98% of the population of the USSR was convinced that such children are born exclusively in families of mentally ill and alcoholics. And as many people handed them over to orphanages. "Do not listen to anyone," so I thought to myself Iya Savvina. The son of the actress eventually grew up quite an independent person. Sergey knows the English language perfectly, loves painting and poetry. In Moscow, even organized a solo exhibition, where his still-lifes were exhibited successfully. During the tour, answering the questions of her fans, Iya Savvina always talked about her son with tears of happiness and joy. Thus, she encouraged other mothers and broke public stereotypes about children with Down's syndrome.

Interesting Facts

But when Fedor invited the actress to take part in the voice acting, she refused. Although then she said that she would have enjoyed it if she had found a suitable prototype. A few days later, Ia called Hitruk and announced the end of the search for a character for voice acting. So Piglet began to speak in Savvin's voice. Although the actress, like Leonova, had to "speed up". It was not the text itself that was difficult, but intonation. Iya was very worried and worried about the recording. Therefore, Khitruk recorded it at numerous rehearsals. Fedor believes that Pyatachok Savvin was the biggest success of the actress.
• In 1994, Andrei Konchalovsky released the picture "Ryabka Chicken". This film became a kind of continuation of the film "The Story of Asya Klyachina".
