Actress Laura Gevorkyan was born at the end of January 1939 in Yerevan. In her youth, she dreamed of a career as a journalist, but after graduating from school, in order to support her friend, she went to enter the acting department of the Art and Theater Institute of Yerevan. Studying was easy for Laura, and the first theatrical work inspired more and more.
Fateful meeting
In the early 60s, Laura Gevorkyan met aspiring actor Edmond Keosayan. Their meeting, according to friends and relatives, became fateful. Once, both of them were invited to star in one of the mass scenes of a famous painting. The young people got close. A beautiful romance began. After a while they got married. And in 1961, they became the parents of their first child, David.
In the mid-60s of the last century, Edmond went to enter the All-Russian State Institute of Culture at the directing department, taking his family with him. Already in the capital, the couple became parents for the second time. In 1966, their youngest son, Tigran, was born.

Keosayan did not shoot his wife in his first films - he was afraid of the reproachful glances of others. Laura took part mainly in episodic roles. For example, in "The Elusive Avengers". The debut and real role for her was Kudasov's wife in "The New Adventures of the Elusive" in 1968.
In 1972, Edmond returned to Armenia for a while to shoot one of his famous paintings - "Men". The director gave the main role to Laura Gevorkyan's brother, Avet. The wife was offered a minor but very prominent role in an episode where village relatives visit a family of dentists.
