In the summer of 1942, the future actress Irina Miroshnichenko was born. Her biography began in the Altai Territory, in the city of Barnaul, while her family was evacuated there. Ira's parents were native Muscovites, her mother, Ekaterina Miroshnichenko, dreamed of becoming an artist, she studied with the then-famous director Alexander Tairov. But, unfortunately, her dreams were not destined to come true. Due to her husband's arrest, her career was over before it even started.

And Ekaterina passed on her desire to devote herself to the theater to her daughter. Subsequently, she rather severely demanded success from Irina and was especially critical of her work. Mom wanted her daughter to become a "star", so that the biography of Irina Miroshnichenko was on everyone's lips. And the girl herself dreamed of playing the harp, but it was not possible to place a large instrument in their small apartment. At the age of 6, she was sent to the Gnessin School to learn to play the violin. And at the same timeIra started learning French.

In 1961, the girl entered the course of V. Markov at the studio school at the Moscow Art Theater. She successfully graduated in 1965, and the acting biography of Irina Miroshnichenko began with the graduation performance "Uncle's Dream". She perfectly turned out the role of Maria Alexandrovna, and she was immediately enrolled in the staff of the Moscow Art Theater. The young actress was lucky with the roles, for a short period she played the teacher Belobrodova (1966) in the play "A Grave Accusation", then Zina in Galich's production of "Weekdays and Holidays" (1967), in "The Blue Bird" she was a fairy, and in " Cyrano de Bergerac" - Roxanne. For this role, French was useful to her, since she read Molière in the original.

The theatrical biography of Irina Miroshnichenko came at the time of the venerable Moscow Art Theater "old men". She worked with great artists (Olga Androvskaya, Alla Tarasova) and learned the secrets of their mastery with great respect. Over the entire career of Irina Petrovna, one can count dozens of roles that she played in her favorite theater. And it was the constant communication at rehearsals with the great masters that subsequently helped her.

But the biography of Irina Miroshnichenko as a film actress began with a small role in the film "I'm walking around Moscow." It was the role of Kolka's sister, and she appeared on the screen in only one episode. At that time, the masters of the Moscow Art Theater School did not encourage filming students in films, so the latter did not take up much space in the life of the actress at first. But gradually the situation began to change. Her first big film work was the role of a scout. Gali in the film "They were known only by sight."

Very important for Irina Petrovna was the meeting with director Andrei Tarkovsky. She played in his film "Andrey Rublev" (1966), though a small, but very difficult role of Mary Magdalene. Miroshnichenko turned out to be very popular in the cinema. She played both spies and scouts, and peasant women and aristocrats. Her heroines were dynamic foreigners, young and sensitive mothers. She is not afraid to be funny or ugly on screen.

And many more viewers were surprised by her benefit performance (staged by Roman Viktyuk), where Irina Miroshnichenko appeared before the public as a singer. Her biography was replenished with another creative direction. She collaborates with one single author - Andrei Nikolsky. Together with him, several music albums, CDs and records have already been released. And for the 850th anniversary of Moscow, a solo concert was prepared, repeatedly shown on television.

In her personal life, Irina Petrovna never strives for excellence, although she herself can make repairs, hang a picture, and change a wheel on a car. In her opinion, a man should be the head of the house, and a woman should be proud of him. She married three times: the first husband was the playwright Mikhail Shatrov, the second was the director Zhalakyavichyus, and the third was the actor Igor Vasiliev. Irina Miroshnichenko loves painting, classical literature and music, goes in for gymnastics, goes to a dance class. She always creates an atmosphere of elegance and beauty around her.
