For the first time about the film with Margarita Terekhova they started talking in 1974 after the release of "Mirror", noting both the picture of Tarkovsky and the acting of the actress. Even after "Dog in the Manger" and "Three Musketeers", her role in "Mirror" was called the best by experts. Her beauty, along with her aristocratic demeanor, is remembered immediately and for a long time, her “cello” voice penetrates right through. Despite her popularity in the cinema, excellent work on the theater stage, the actress became the People's Artist of the RSFSR only in 1996, at the same time she stopped acting.

Brief biography of the actress

Margarita Borisovna Terekhova was born in a family of actors on August 25, 1942. Hometown - Turinsk, Sverdlovsk region. Due to the thundering war and the poor he alth of their daughter, the family moves to Tashkent, where it was much warmer.

The girl has always been a leader everywhere: in the yard where she lived, at school, in basketball - the captain of the youth team of Uzbekistan. So activean unusually beautiful, slender and long-legged girl was always surrounded by a crowd of admiring fans. After graduating from school with a gold medal, Terekhova enters the Republican University, but two years later she leaves him and leaves for Moscow. Without enrolling in VGIK, she enters the school-studio at the Moscow City Council Theater. The talent of the actress manifests itself immediately - she becomes the leader of the troupe, causing envy among the female half. The wayward and independent character is also noted immediately: not having time to devote much time to herself, because she must somehow try to survive in huge Moscow, the girl decisively cuts her braid.

It becomes clear that success has come to Margarita Terekhova, and films with her participation begin to come out regularly and receive awards, her magnificent work on the stage of the MADT them. Moscow City Council, glory comes.

After the "perestroika" there were only 4 film works of the actress. She begins to get seriously ill, becomes lonely and useless. It is not uncommon for actresses to give their all to work.

Film "Mirror" and Andrei Tarkovsky

In 1974, the actress was invited by Andrei Tarkovsky to play the title role in the movie Mirror. Talk that she was a muse, and not only, Andrei Tarkovsky does not stop to this day. Muse, whether beloved, a friend who can be trusted with the most intimate, but it was this film with Margarita Terekhova that took 19th place in the final list of the greatest films according to a 2012 poll among 846 film critics and 9th place according to a survey among 358 film directors, was noted asTarkovsky's best. In 1980, The Mirror won the David di Donatello prize in Italy.

Dog in the Manger

Jan Fried, a director who became famous for many films-performances in the genre of musical comedy, risked his peace very much by bringing together three character actors with strong temperaments: Margarita Terekhova, Mikhail Boyarsky and Nikolai Karachentsov.

The film crew called Terekhova-Diana a "fury": she endlessly argued with the director, sharply insisting on her own, interfering with the work of the film crew. But how good is Diana-Terekhova! Refinedly beautiful, graceful, intelligent, playing with her face like a musical instrument, with the gait and mannerisms of the Spanish queen, she makes men's hearts tremble both in Spanish suitors and in Russian spectators. This forty-year-old film, like many others with Margarita Terekhova, is destined for a long life.

Three Musketeers

Milady in The Three Musketeers does not look like either Milady Dumas or the "blonde angel" performed by Mylène Demongeot in the classic French adaptation. And this, according to many, is even very good. Milady-Margarita Terekhova in the film "The Three Musketeers" is a beautiful, insidious, evil and merciless fury. The pursed lips of the actress are not stubbornness, but hatred. This Milady is rather the Duchess de Chevreuse in her old age, described by Dumas in Ten Years Later, or even Mrs. Cheveley from O. Wilde’s Ideal Husband: smart, red-haired and green-eyed, “on the whole, a work of art, but with traces of too many schools." GorgeousMedieval costumes in films with Margarita Terekhova are truly a work of art. And how can she wear them! This applies not only to The Musketeers, but also to the films Dog in the Manger, Pious Martha and theatrical performances.

Wave Runner

Despite the good acting work, noted by all critics and ordinary viewers, the film "falls apart", its wonderful scenes with Freezy Grant - Margarita Terekhova do not save. The huge close-up of the heroine of the picture is beautiful, her voice and ghostly image are amazing, wonderful, unique. The footage of Frezi running on the waves is imbued with a beautiful mystery. But this film with Margarita Terekhova did not work out. On the set, the actress met her second husband, Bulgarian actor Savva Khashimov. He played the main role - Harvey, a wonderful man in every respect, and even with a pleasant Bulgarian accent. For the sake of Margarita Terekhova, Savva divorced his wife and moved to Moscow. But this acting marriage fell apart, because "he" could not bear the life of the Moscow hostel, and "she" did not want to leave her Moscow.

Other film works of the actress

The list of films with Margarita Terekhova consists of 15 films. In addition to the above, this is the debut "Hello, it's me!", And a supporting role in "Belorussky Station" and "Monologue", interesting roles in the films "Day Train" (with V. Gaft), A. Kaidanovsky), "Schedule for the day after tomorrow" and "Let's get married." Then there were roles in the satire "It", in the military film "Our Father". And for the movie"Only for Crazy People" - the best role in 1990, Margarita Borisovna received the Grand Prix of the San Remo Festival and other awards. Then there were episodic roles in "The Path", in the "Kings of the Russian Investigation".

"The Seagull" is the last film of the actress

In 2005 she made her debut as a screenwriter and director. The film "The Seagull" by Margarita Terekhova was staged based on the play of the same name by A. P. Chekhov. The role of Irina Arkadina was played by herself. The film was shot in the homeland of the writer - in the museum-estate of A. P. Chekhov in Melikhovo, and also used the shores of Lake Pleshcheyevo. The text of the play remained completely unchanged. The film first of all, like the play, tells about the fragility of human souls. The main roles were played by the son and daughter of Margarita Borisovna: Alexander Turaev - Treplev and Anna Terekhova - Nina Zarechnaya. Their acting work was very well received by the audience of the film. It is a pity that the film was released only in DVD format.

It's still a pity that Margarita Borisovna failed to fulfill her life's dream of playing the famous Saint Xenia of St. Petersburg.
