Tamara Semina - actress and personality

How many great actors worked in a country called the Soviet Union! To get the audience's recognition, it was just good to play big and small roles. And love came, and what! The remarkable actors of that generation are Tamara Semina.

Childhood and youth

Tamara Petrovna Bokhonova was born before the war, in the 38th year. Her birth took place under the sign of Scorpio. Such people face with dignity all difficulties on their way. These are bright individuals who are constantly engaged in self-improvement, and life will subsequently confirm this. They accumulate spiritual forces, and then take-off takes place.

But, having got into the evacuation in four years, little Tom did not know this. They were evacuated with their mother from Lgov, later moved to their grandfather and grandmother in Bryansk. The father died at the front, and Tamara was adopted by the husband of his mother, who became her real father. In gratitude, the girl, when grown up, took his name. So Tamara Semina appeared. The family moved to Kaluga, where Tom graduated from the eight-year school. Then she began to study and work in the library of the school of working youth, where the literature teacher was Bulat Okudzhava.

Moscow

It's not far from Kaluga to Moscow, only three hours by bus or train, but after the war the trip took twice as long, and therefore Tamara Semina did not know the capital at all. She came to her to become an actress. And a miracle happened. The trolleybus, to which she sat, brought her directly to the Institute of Cinematography. The documents were no longer accepted, but she spoke with the dean (that's Scorpio's insistence), and she was allowed to pass the exams. The arrival itself was not without incident. She was asked to sing, and Tamara Semina refused accompaniment - he interferes with her. Also it is necessary, does not sing.

"Why do not you sing?" They ask her.

"But you still do not listen, but talk."

"All right," the teachers continue, "read the poem."

- I will not, it's bad.

And all this she spoke quite seriously with a thin voice. She provoked a sincere laugh at all the teachers. She was accepted, she passed all tours, and in the 56th year she became a student.

Study

But already in the first year the girl is invited to shoot in two pictures. On the second - the young Marlene Khutsiev shoots her in the film "Two Fedor". And in the years of study she gets a rare luck - in 1959, Mikhail Schweitzer removes her in the role of Katya Maslova in the film "Resurrection" based on the novel by LN. Tolstoy. The dramatic role was revealed by her vivid abilities and ability to convey the tragic experiences of Katyusha, expressively, working on major plans. She showed herself as a real actress of the classical Russian acting school. In 1961, she became the best actress of the year according to the results of a survey of readers of the magazine "Soviet Screen". And then went international recognition of the film, and work Semina, which became a diploma and was rated "excellent." So with a brilliance the student finished her studies in 1961 and began work at the Theater-Studio of the film actor.

Working in a movie

Proposals to act were filed one after another. The roles were varied, revealing all facets of the artist's talent: humor, drama, lyricism. The costume film "The Serf Actress" allowed Semina to "sing". Of course, it was not really she who sang, the opera singer Tamara Milashkin. By 1965, she starred in 10 films. The seventies brought her 14 new roles. Especially popular was the work in the television movie "Eternal Call." Fond of the audience and the "Tavern on Pyatnitskaya." When shooting the film "The Mother of Man" it took all autumn and winter to take place in light dresses, barefoot in the frost and snow. This will further affect your health. In this regard, Tamara Semina, the children and the joy of motherhood will be incompatible. In the eighties, the rich creative life continued not so effectively - but there were 15 new successful appearances on the screen. The most beloved was the role of a teacher in the comedy "Lonely hostel provided." The grotesque, which flashed an actress, was to the heart and herself, and the audience. And if the work was not enough, then it was replaced by tours around the country. When it seemed that in the 90's the cinema stopped shooting, the work did not diminish - 23 films. For fifteen years from 1999 to 2015 there are thirty-four more works in films, of course, together with dubbing.

Life Outside the Cinema

Family life has developed, when in the second year Tamara Semina married her classmate. Vladimir Prokofiev, who possessed an undeniable talent, was in demand only in dubbing, which he had been engaged in for more than thirty years. But in the 80's he suffered a stroke, and Semina spent a lot of time, almost leaving the movie, giving her husband care. If not for this trouble, then we can say that Tamara Semina, whose personal life was developing successfully, is quite a happy person. But grief that there are no children, and a long, almost seventeen-year illness of the spouse who died in 2005, do not allow such a conclusion. There is a Russian proverb "in every house for whom." Unfortunately, everyone's favorite actress is no exception.

Friends and hobbies

In her youth, her friends were famous people all over the country - Nikolai Kryuchkov, Boris Andreev, Vsevolod Sanaev, Mark Bernes. Now a warm friendship is maintained with those who are close, with neighbors or people of the non-theatrical circle. Looks Tamara Semina (photo) now so. Life has changed it, but it has made it interesting not only externally, but also internally. She became a very mature and worthy person. However, even without this photo, everyone saw her in recent years in commercials on television. The actress is a music lover, she likes to listen to F. Shalyapin, V. Agafonov, E. Kamburov.

Concluding the short story about the life and creative path of the actress, we must add that Tamara Semina, whose biography is filled with the creation of spiritual values, is appreciated by the government. She is first Honored, then People's Artist, and in 1990 she was awarded a high award - the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.
