The main thing for the actress was and remain visiting love and recognition.

In the year of the anniversary, director Andrei Zhitnikin set for Faith Vasilyeva, a new performance - "Fatal Attraction". Vasiliev here is a collective image of great actresses.

"This is a fantastic actress that immediately tells the director that she will never play the old woman. She absolutely does not hide his age, and when she speaks to her 90 in the play: "I never looked as good as now," immediately ovation in the hall. Because she really looks awesome, she has an amazing figure and plastic, "says director Andrei Zhintkin.

The heart of Vasilyeva, of course, belongs to theater. But with her movie she is also a novel: still removed. And everything began with Siberian Nastya, which he saw the famous Ivan Pyriev in her. For this first serious role of Vasilyeva, another student received his first Stalin Prize. Almost all, admitted, spent on new dresses.

The second Stalin Prize brought the role of Olga in the "Wedding with Dowry". The performance in the Satire Theater played 900 times. In 1953, the same film was released on the screens. Until now, there is not a single meeting with the viewer, where she would not be asked to fulfill this song.

In love with the script in the heroine Vasilyeva actor Vladimir Ushakov soon became her husband. Together they happily lived more than half a century. Rare acting couple. In life, outwardly fragile faith Kuzminichna - figures are big and serious: unlikely 70 years in the only theater - satire, more than 60 performances, a little less roles in the movies. Alexander Shirvindom is friends for 60 years.

"And I never cease to surprise these 60 years. What? All! Complex of usefulness. Smart, wise, beautiful, talented, moderately tricky, diplomatic, - says the artistic director of the Satira theater Alexander Shirvindt, - it looks like 57 and runs on 57, plays 34. She is irrepressible, she is greedy to work in a good way. "

Faith Kuzmichnna comes to the theater long before the performance, it is preparing in solitude and every time terribly worried. He wants not famous for her dames, and noticed a talent that does not get tired of looking and finding a new one. This turns out, it is not difficult if you know the secret, which is not tired to ask Vasilyev journalists.

"In love - a secret. In general, of course, people are very kind, and in response, I also want to fit the attitude that I feel from people. People are very kind, so I really want to not insult them, not to seal them, "the faith of Kuzminynna admits.

Vera Vasilyeva - Soviet and Russian actress of theater and cinema. People's Artist of the USSR, the favorite of the audience and the symbol of inspiration on the theater scene for many beginners actresses.

Vera Kuzminichna Vasilyeva was born in the Kalinin region on September 30, 1925. Parents of the future actress are ordinary people with different characters and ideas about life. Father of Faith Vasilyevna was a quiet and more accurate man, did not require much. The mother of the famous Soviet actress, on the contrary, painfully rustic life, tried to improve him.

Soon Vasilyev moved to Moscow and settled in a communal apartment. Faith grew in a large family, she had three senior sisters, and the younger brother was born before the war. Parents worked at the plant shifted, older sisters were engaged in their affairs, and the girl read a lot and dreamed.

Once a mother's girlfriend took faith in a large theater, where the "royal bride" was shown. Since then, the girl "sick" scene, greedily absorbed information about theatrical life.

The war scattered the family in the Soviet Union. Vera remained in Moscow with his father. The man worked as a driver, and his daughter was on duty on the roof of a high-rise building, along with adults dragged the boxes with sand to guess the incendiary bombs.

The wedding was celebrated modestly: without lush outfits, feasts and rings, in a hostel. The actress remembers that for the first time put a wedding dress and a wedding ring only on a golden wedding.


Couple happily lived in marriage 56 years. The spouses tried not to part - we went to rest together, they also tried to hold each other on tour. The man was beautifully cared and always argued his wife his love. Immediately after the wedding, Vladimir Ushakov hired an amateur assistant, although the newlyweds lived in the 6-meters of the hostel room. Vasilyeva did not know how to prepare and lead life, and Ushakov did not want to burden his favorite problems. And in the future, all domestic issues, up to the selection and purchase of furniture, the head of the family was engaged. There were no children from the pair.

One day, Vera Vasilyeva itself said so much about his marital life: "I am grateful to my husband for indulging in my household insolvency. I almost do not know how to cook. For me, take guests means someone to ask for it. I am not comfortable at all, not a family and not homemade creation. "

The sick heart of Ushakov more and more often made himself felt - two heart attacks, the installation of a cardiac behaler, in recent years of life the actor almost did not see. But Vladimir and Vera were happy, no matter what.


In July 2011, the acting couple rested in the sanatorium on Klyazma. Suddenly, Vladimir Ushakov grabbed the heart, the man began to choke. Vasilyeva caused ambulance. An hour later, the doctor of the hospital reported that her spouse was not. It happened on July 17, 2011.

"At the age of 14 I almost made stupidity. After reading some book, I decided: it is better to die young. I took a razor and cut a Vienna twice, "said" AIF " people's Artist of the USSR Vera Vasilyeva.

Scar for memory

In our family, no one ever had a relation to theater. Dad worked for a driver, Mom was engaged in the economy. We lived very poorly, with all in the same room in Gusyatnikov Lane, in the area of \u200b\u200bMyasnitskaya. Mom with dad, three sisters, brother and me. But once Anna Julievna, the neighbor in our communal apartment, led me to the daily performance of the opera "Tsarist Bride". And I, an 8-year-old girl, saw this beauty - velvet, chandeliers, orchestra, sparkles everything, as in the fairy palace, heard Divine music ... Then he decided: or I will be an artist, or I will not live. I went to the house of the pioneers, in the drama, in the chorus, was recorded in theatrical libraries ...

At 10 years I have already sowed an aria, heard on the radio. For this in the yard I was called Shalyapin. The fact that there was such a singer, I did not know, but I thought that I was teased because of the hat, with which I did not part. I remember well how the choir of our house pioneers performed in the Bolshoi Theater (spoke, was sitting in the hall himself Stalin).

My girlfriend Katya Rosovskaya(He is still friends with her, scary to think how many years!) Together they dreamed about the scene. Plans were built - one more incredible than the other. Dreamed of escape from the house and go to some provincial theater at least someone, and there - some unexpected case, debut, like YermolovaAnd theatrical life will begin, full adventure ...

As a result, I became an artist, Katya - theater. Now she has a grandson, I have only the theater. Only the role born by me. But it is not so little.

What was I then? Quiet, dreamy, very romantic. At the age of 14, almost made stupidity. After reading some book, I decided: it is better to die young, than to live and gradually be disappointed in life. I took a razor and cut a vein twice, then lowered my hand in a warm pelvis in the hope that quietly, beautifully die. Fortunately, in time came to his senses. But in memory of this children's stupidity, two white screenshots remained on my left hand.

Pyriev and stockings

The fact that I, the Trekchurs-Nice of theatrical School, fell such a happy lottery ticket as the painting "Tale of the Earth Siberian", there is no special my merit. I think, my then appearance played a big role. I was full, pinkish. My good-natured face was noticed assistant Pyryev. They came up and asked: "Girl, do you want to take a movie?" I wanted so much that we didn't close your eyes all the night - everyone thought, wondered, what I was put in watching me. As a result, I was in my sister's dress from Blue Sheocha, who was pulled by a broad singing, painted and with unimaginably whipped curls. Pyreyev, without saying a word, sent me to the Grimel. I was combed first. I looked at myself in the mirror and was horrified: the glazers are small, like a fastening piggy, thin pigtails. Never get into the cinema! And it turned out that it was necessary. Hand in the costume of the heroine - Nastya Gusenkova. Again led to Ivan Alexandrovich. He looked at me so closely and commanded: "Bring two simple stockings." Brought. Pyriev took them, rolled into two lumps. And, nor the drops are not embarrassed, put in my neckline on the stockulka in those places where the lush chest should be. "Well, now everything is in order! And then you will not understand anything. " I began to look like a bullshit Babu, which teapots cover. This was approved immediately. I remember when I was already shooting, Pyriev often reminded: "Vasilyeva was put on everything? Then we can start! "

"Tale of Earth Siberian", 1947. Frame from the film

The triumph of the painting "Tale of the Siberian Land" in 1948. I took as a miracle of miracles and was even frightened to some extent when I gave the Stalinist premium for it. As I was told, Joseph Vissarionovich, who always watched all the paintings, seeing me on the screen, asked: "Where did you find this charm?" What did he answer that this is just a third-year student, therefore it is not represented by the award. Stalin briefly ordered: "She played well, I need to give a premium." And I was instantly included in the lists.

I don't even know if I was happy. Probably. Although always believed that the reward, and the huge glory fell into my young inexperienced head is not entirely deserved. Just got into good hands director. By the way, apparently, it was that Pyriev himself believed. Once he said right to me: "It's time for you thank me." And I appointed a meeting at the Moscow Hotel. I, I suspect nothing, went. I remember Ivan Alexandrovich sits on a chair and says: "Well? Will you thank me? " I answer: "Thank you so much!" And he: "Not so much thanks! Come here!" And began to pester ...

I hardly breaking out, I ran to the door and heard following: "You will never be filmed in the movie!" "Well, do not care," I thought. The word is your own - not to remove me - he kept. But I am not in disadvantage to Ivan Alexandrovich, I have forgiven everything for a long time. After all, no matter how cool, Pyryev gave me not only the role - life. If it were not for a meeting with him, I may have been sent at the end of the institute somewhere towards Kulichki. And so ... I was immediately invited to the Satira theater to the main role - lyzing by Sichkinina in the play "Lev Gurych Sichkin". Imagine?!

901th Wedding

The play "Wedding with dowry", the premiere of which took place on March 12, 1950, on the one hand, gave me the biggest love in my life, on the other hand, gave me a partner on stage and a loving husband, with whom we have lived happily for 54 years.

The director was young talented director Boris Ivanovich Ravensky. Our novel with him in the theater was recognized almost immediately, and I did not know how to hide. For almost seven years I lived with full willingness to give him, if necessary, my life. But he was married to actress Lilia Gritsenko.

The success of the "Wedding with Dowry" was phenomenal! The performance passed 900 times, was awarded the Stalinist premium, filled. Volodya Ushakov He was my "fiance Maxim" and on stage, and in the movies. I saw that his feelings had long come outside the scene, the screen, but could not do anything with him. Meanwhile, Boris Ivanovich called the head of the Small Theater ... And all these years I lived a believer closer with the hope that he will finally be released and understand if I need him in life. I suffered scary, but I didn't dare to remind my love about my love. Sometimes at night, two hours, when all residents of our communal apartment slept tightly, a phone call was heard, and I barefoot running along the corridor. The whisper, trembling from the cold, answered a mocking question: "Do not sleep? Waiting? " "Yes, waiting ..." He felt his guilt, annoyed me for the fact that I was patient and faithful.

The last drop was the premiere of his performance in the Small Theater on December 4, 1956, which Boris Ivanovich forbade me. I did not go. Lyed in his cell in complete darkness, could not sleep. How I was hurt and lonely that night ... in the morning I called Volodya Ushakov and, accurately feeling that I was on the edge of death, asked how many times asked, when I agree to be his wife. And then I replied: "I agree." Volodya immediately happy rushed on the car, littered with flowers ... I was drowning in colors. Then we went to the hostel of the Satira Theater on the Small Bronnaya, where except Volodya lived Anatoly Papanovwith mine wife Nadi Karataev, Tatyana Ivanovna Peltser And others, and he declared everything about our wedding. Although weddings were not there. I remember Tolya Papanovprinted half-liters, others took a meal to the kitchen - what had anyone. And in the registry office we painted in seven years. There were no dresses and rings - they just went, put signatures.

But all 54 years was absolutely perfect existence. We never seriously quarreled. And there was no single case that I eyes, thoughts, made something like that, for what could be ashamed. Volodya is so in love so much, gratefully and gently treated me that I had a feeling of solid misstitution. This is very important for the actress, and indeed for any woman. And during my family life, the feelings for him were only increasing. It happened, play the performance, run like a crazy home. I especially loved him in recent years when he was sick. Three heart attacks, stroke, blindness, could not walk without help. But he was so noble, never sucked and did not complain. Always looking for a reason to laugh, glancing for me. I am very good!

Went down to side

I would not say that with someone in the theater I had a close relationship. But very good - with many. Tolya Papanov belonged to me very gently, somehow I especially pronounced my name: "Ve-e-rod!" As with the kitten sometimes said: "My dear, small!" I considered him a stunning artist. But S. Andryusha Mironovwe probably communicated in closer. He really treated my husband well, and Volodya adored him. In the theater they made in the same room. Andryusha has always frank himself with him, even told about his novels. Through it, we made friends with his parents - Maria Vladimirova Mironova and Alexander Semenovich Menacherom. Their death, like And then, Andrei's early care, became a crazy tragedy for us. My husband just cried in his voice ...

I am very expensive my successful roles in the Satira Theater - Countess Almaviva, Olga in the "Wedding with dowry", Anna Andreevna in the "Revolution", Warper in the Leskaya play. But there was a time when I didn't play anything interesting in my native theater for a long time, I was very shattered from it. And the only time in life risked asking the role. Then after the conflict from our theater gone Tanya Vasilyeva, rehearsing Ranevskaya in the "Cherry Garden". I came to K. Valentina Pleuce And she said that I dream about this role. He looked at the idiot: "Well, you, faith! Olya Arosov wants to play Nina Arkhipova... I'm better to take a young! " I was very worried then: probably, like act rice I don't like me, he believes that I have no breed, temperament or sin, which is so necessary for Ranevskaya ... more than the years when he is seriously ill and no longer worked, I I came to visit him, and Valentin Nikolayevich suddenly said: "Faith, I am very interested in you and I suffer from this very much. Sorry!"

And I still played Ranenevskaya, although "on the side" - in the Tver Academic Drama Theater. Then I joy and pleasure went to the eagle to play Kruchinin in the "without guilt", played in the play "Blazhen" - in the new dramatic in Moscow and the "strange Mrs. Savage" - in the theater of the Dolls of Exogram. These work was saved me, because I came true what I dreamed of from youth, for which I came to the profession. Otherwise, he would simply believed that I did not have enough talent, I did not have enough fate.

In 2015, in front of her (scary to say!) The 90th anniversary, I received a fabulous gift at all - the role of Irma Golde in the play "Fatal Attraction". Played an elderly actress, who does not want to put up with her age. It can be said that this is to some extent about me - after all, I myself almost does not feel my age.

And what are my secrets? The fact of the matter is that no. Charging never did - I can't endure it. Since childhood absolutely unsportscent. I have no diet. But I do not allow yourself to be corrected - I hold on one weigh all my life. Nevertheless, I eat everything. After the performance, it is almost overnight, I love to pamper yourself with something delicious. I do not go out into the street, if you do not pick up my eyes and lips. I follow the posture, it is the posture that gives age. Perhaps you will be surprised, I don't know anything about the medicine. And thank God! I think the most important thing that keeps me in the form is the theater, my roles, the love of the audience. Still learned on the street. Sometimes I go - and suddenly: "Oh, hello! Are you faith Vasilyeva? " - "Yes". - "Be healthy! Happiness to you! " It is very nice. In general, everything was all the way: the profession that I dreamed about, I had a wonderful loving husband, and at the end of the life there was a grather daughter Dasha, who so touching me so that not every native daughter about his mother would be so. I am 90 years old and I am happy absolutely. What am I dreaming about? First, so that I saw a lot of interesting things. But most of all, I dream of a good role. And I already have something more curious. About love!

Acting life From the outside it seems so happy, wonderful: flowers, people remember, love, thank ... But the second side, which may even be much stronger than the mark in the actor's soul, is sad from the fact that there is no work, or what You do, you are not interested, or life does not add up in the theater and in the movies.

You know, i am not so highHow maybe surrounding. Therefore, when the Satira Theater was given to me - it would seem that the main, but in the passing plates (you know, such were Soviet plays, where cute girls for the plot existed), - so, those roles pleased little, but I thought I was More and not capable. I myself said: Well, you never know what I dream, but I see this.

Here for the public I am Vesil Vasilyeva, smiling, "I sing on the porch", "Marriage Figaro", something else - and it seems to everyone that I am such a sweet post. And there is much more difficult life, I also experienced huge disappointments, and huge pain.

Somehow I carry my sorrows alone and do not tired nobody sophisticated

My future husband, Volodya Ushakov, played my groom in the "wedding with dowry" and was in love with me. Two or three years, while we played this performance, he cared for me, every second gave me to understand what he loved and that I would not be able to be happy with the other man. And then a pretty dramatic moment came in my life with "those man." And I agreed to marry Volodya. So I got married ...

I also seem to methat I am in general, not weak. Somehow I will carry my sorrows alone and I do not tired with sadness. Well, such a born. I did not raise myself. I think so if I brought up something, then this theater, books and, maybe the modest life of my parents.

I won't make me get angry. I, if something is very disgusting to me, I just go to the side and, no matter how it. And for loved ones, I, in general, can be difficult.
