Natalia Varlei: biography, filmography, photo
Natalia Vladimirovna Varley is an actress who played many roles in Soviet cinema, however, in the hearts of the majority of fans, the heroine of Leonid Gaidai's comic film "The Caucasian Captive" remained. Athlete, Komsomol and just beautiful - on the screen Natalia seemed carefree and mischievous girl, but in real life, the actress had to go through many tests. Varley experienced a betrayal of loved ones, betrayal of a beloved man, envy of colleagues, failure at work - all this was in her destiny, but for spite of all enemies she stood and did not break. As a result, the actress made important conclusions for herself.
Childhood
Natalia Varley was born in June 1947 in Romania, but the artist's childhood passed in the cold Murmansk. Natalia's father - Vladimir Viktorovich, served in the navy, he was the captain of deep voyage, for some time he worked as chairman of the city executive committee. Mom - Ariadna Sergeevna Senyavina was engaged in raising daughters. In addition to Natalia, another girl grew up in the family - Irina - the younger sister of the actress. The Varley family can rightly be called multinational, because Distant The ancestors of Natalia's father belonged to the Celtic people inhabiting Wales. But the actress's mom was the granddaughter of the mining engineer Barbot de Marni - a native of France.
As a child, Natalia was an active and very curious child - she studied at a music school, painted, loved to read, wrote poetry. Paradoxically, in the school years the future actress was released from physical education - the girl was diagnosed with heart disease. However, this did not prevent her from associating her life with the circus in the future. Natalia V. Varley, whose biography of creativity has more than forty roles in the cinema, began her career with a balancing act - an uneasy genre of circus art, in which it is necessary to masterfully master your body in order to maintain balance.
Circus Life
Natalia Vladimirovna got into the circus thanks to the occasion. Varley's family moved to Moscow. One day, when my mother led the daughters to the show, Natasha saw an announcement about the recruitment of children in the circus studio. She secretly from her parents came to the competitive selection, declaring her desire to work in the circus. Natalia was accepted.
Later, at the end of the school of circus and variety art, Varlay became a member of the collective of the Moscow Circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard.
Natalia warmly remembers the circus time, in which there were many bright, joyful and carefree moments. The girl was lucky to work in one of the rooms with the great clown Leonid Engibarov. At some shows, Natalia Vladimirovna intersected with the legendary Yuri Nikulin.
The world of cinema
And although the picture did not come out for a variety of reasons on a wide screen, Natalia Varley was noticed and invited to test in Leonid Gaidai's film "The Caucasian Captive, or Shurik's New Adventures." Many actresses claimed the role of the main heroine of the film, among them were the stars of the first magnitude - Natalia Kustinskaya, Victoria Fedorova, Natalia Fateeva, etc. But the director, to the great surprise of his colleagues in the shop, chose a circus artist Natalya Varley at that time. This decision was not easy for Gaidai, but he was not mistaken in his choice.
Natalia Varley admits that work in the film liberated her. The image of the girl Nina in the "Caucasian captive" was not similar in character to the actress in life. At the heroine of the film, the artist gained confidence, mischief, optimism - qualities that she did not possess before. The actress herself is surprised how, being a circus actress, she could be a shy and dreamy girl. But the fact remains.
In April 1967, the premiere of the film "The Caucasian Captive, or Shurik's New Adventures," was held in Moscow. I must say, the tape had a deafening success with the viewer, and the all-Union glory fell on the main character. In an instant Varlya Natalya Vladimirovna became incredibly popular. The actress's photo now did not disappear from the pages of all-Union magazines and newspapers. This film became the hallmark of the actress. Despite the fact that for all her life Natalia Varley has appeared in more than forty films, in the hearts of the audience she has always remained Nina - activist, sportswoman and simply beautiful.
About personal
Some time later Natalia Varley left the circus and entered the Shchukinsky Theater School. Within the walls of this educational institution a new round of her life, creative and personal, began.
Natasha enjoyed a mad success at the stronger sex - she was offered friendship by many well-known actors today. For example, Leonid Filatov for a long time did everything possible to achieve the location of a young beauty. However, Natasha chose Nikolai Burlyaev. Later, relations with a talented actor led to a marriage, which, unfortunately, soon disintegrated. Inexperience, fervor and youth made "their business".
In 1971, the artist decided to try her luck again and married a colleague in the shop and her classmate Vladimir Tikhonov. The daughter-in-law of the well-known actors Nonna Mordyukova and Vyacheslav Tikhonova became Natalya Vladimirovna Varley. Vasily Vladimirovich Tikhonov - the first-born of the pair, who was born a year later.
Famous relatives, husband, child - it seemed outwardly that at last the actress began to develop everything, however, in this marriage she was disappointed. Natalia had a lot to go through - unjustified jealousy of her husband, his drug addiction, treason. When the fighting was over, the actress realized that she could no longer and did not want to fight the windmills. The actors parted.
I must say that even after many years, Natalia Varlay always speaks kindly about her partners in personal relationships. Husbands for her are people who are part of life, even if they are past.
Roles in the cinema

Only many years later the actress realized that the work in the picture was a terrible sin. On the set, mystical things often happened, and Natalia often experienced in the process of work some inexplicable fear. And after the premiere of the film, the actress was haunted by misfortunes. At some point a woman thought that her life began to crumble: betrayals, slander, failures in personal relationships, the death of her ex-husband - everything was mixed up in a single coma.

Comparing the work in the theater with work in the circus, Natalya says a significant difference. "The theatrical environment is a terrarium where everyone is envious of each other and trying to play a dirty trick," says Varlay Natalia Vladimirovna. Personal life, husbands, children - everything becomes an occasion for gossip and gossip. In the life of the actress was a lot of evidence. But in the circus the artist always felt the support and elbow of friends and colleagues. Although, in her opinion, there is always and everywhere a place for competition and intrigue. The circus is no exception.

A man came to the Soviet Union together with students of theater universities. The foreigner could give Natalya much, if only she wanted. But with him, as with many others, nothing happened. Personal life did not develop, all meetings always ended in parting. And so it happened for many years.
In the 80s, the actress left the theater, and later entered the Gorky Literary Institute. Soon, fate gave her another opportunity for motherhood - during her second year of school she gave birth to her son Natalia Varlay. Alexander Varley was born not without problems. The birth was not easy, and only thanks to the fact that next to the actress was a very experienced children's doctor Grachev, everything turned out. Fate did not in vain bring Varley with this man. Later Grachev left medical practice and became a minister of the church (in the life of Natalya Varley he is present to this day as a confessor). The actress claims that only after the churching in her life everything gradually began to improve. By the way, the actress does not disclose the name of her second son's father.
