The biography of Alisa Freindlich is full of events. Here is besieged Leningrad, and the departure of Bruno Freindlich's father from the family, the execution of relatives, a school in the B altic states, three theaters, three marriages, a daughter, grandchildren and popular love. Five orders and sixteen state and national awards. After the "Office Romance" she was called "our mymra", and after the "Three Musketeers" - the queen.

Everyone who knows Alisa Brunovna personally notes her deep decency, light and bright character and great talent. She could become a singer, but connected her life with the theater. The choice between opera and drama was helped by my father. He reasoned that a small daughter (154 cm) would be lost on the opera stage, where texture is needed. The advice to connect life with the theater turned out to be correct, although success did not come immediately …

Biography of Alisa Freindlich's family

Alice Brunovna's ancestors are Germans. Freindlichs (relatives from the grandfather's side) moved to Russia in the seventeenth century and served as gardeners and pharmacists. Seitz, relativesgrandmother's side, moved in the time of Catherine and served as glassblowers. The Lutheran Church preserved documents on the wedding and birth, on the basis of which a family tree was built. This was done by Sergey Tarasov, the husband of Varvara's daughter.

Father, Bruno Freindlich, changed the custom of marrying a German woman. When he was with TRAM (Leningrad Theater of Working Youth) in Pskov, he found a Russian wife. His sisters married a Georgian and a Pole. Strictly speaking, their children were no longer considered Germans. Therefore, Ksenia Fedorovna (Bruno's wife) recorded the Russian daughter.

Before the war, repression began. The Germans were expelled from the city. Uncle and family, later grandmother. They died.

Childhood

The childhood of your favorite actress - Leningrad in the thirties and forties of the last century. Life in a communal apartment on the Moika, where St. Isaac's Cathedral is visible from the windows, the Bronze Horseman and the most beautiful view of the Neva are not far away. History in stone, history around - this atmosphere forever bewitched the girl. Alisa Brunovna calls this state “the magic of St. Petersburg.”

Father came from the rehearsal and went to bed to be cheerful before the performance. Alice adopted this habit from him in the future. Somehow she indulged, prevented her father from falling asleep, and then poked a pencil in the eye, for which she was severely punished - she was put in a corner behind the stove.

Alice went to first grade in 1942. Not everyone treated the girl with German roots well, it was hard. Although in the fifth column there was “Russian”, but this did not save from contempt. Lost loved onesthey simply could not adequately treat the Germans. Such was the time.

Father already had a new family, they were far away - in Tashkent. Mother Ksenia Fedorovna worked as an accountant, and her grandmother set a strict regime: she gave out a grain of bread every hour. Thanks to this, the biography of Alisa Freindlich did not end in those blockade years.

After the war, Alice and her mother left for Tallinn for three years to stay with their relatives, where the girl continued to study. Despite excellent academic performance in primary school, with the advent of accurate subjects, she moved to triples. All the teachers knew that the "fox Alice" would become an artist.

Students

The Theater Institute is inscribed in the biography of Alisa Freindlich as a red thread. She entered it the first time, the preparation was serious: even in the school theater studio they noticed a talented girl - she was led by M. Prizvan-Sokolova. She, along with her husband, the famous director P. Weisbrem, consulted her pet every day. So she passed the entrance exams and got into the B. Zone course.

At the institute, she was trained for characteristic roles, not suspecting that she would later play the roles of the first heroines - including Juliet. A magnificent voice, a strong mezzo-soprano, immediately distinguished her from the rest. Alice studied perfectly, even managed to get married. True, the student marriage with Vladimir Karasev did not last long.

Alisa Brunovna brilliantly graduated from the institute with a recommendation for leading roles in major theaters.

The first theater is the school of life

After graduationShe entered the troupe of the theater. Komissarzhevskaya. But the biography of actress Alisa Freindlich began a little earlier. She has been acting in films since 1955. But in the theater she is not offered the main roles. She plays the tomboys.

She remembers those years with warmth - she had to learn a lot. The ability to absorb new things is her characteristic.

"Keeping childhood within helps to preserve nature's gift."

The career of many actors ends after such an ordeal. Indeed, not everyone can withstand all life in the background. Someone leaves the profession, but not Alisa Freindlich, whose biography is the subject of our review. However, the acting fate itself was merciful to her. She gave her a meeting with the director, who drew attention to her. It was Igor Vladimirov.

Second theatre, second marriage

In the biography of actress Alisa Freindlich, personal life and creativity are closely connected. Igor Vladimirov not only invited an aspiring actress to his theater, but also offered her a hand and a heart. Alisa Brunovna moved to the Leningrad City Council Theater, where he was the leader, and married her mentor.

The performances were staged under Alisa Freindlich. She played all the leading roles during that period. Vladimirov did not encourage filming, considering his wife a theater actress, not a cinematic one. But Ryazanov appeared and filmed Office Romance, after which the whole country recognized Alisa Brunovna. After there was "Stalker", "Three Musketeers", "Agony".

Mother and daughter

After the death of my grandmother, mother XeniaFedorovna became a real support for Alice. When the artist began giving birth, she had to call doctors not only to herself, but also to her mother - she lost consciousness from excitement.

Death of loved ones is always a great grief. A short line on the monument not only ends the life of the dead, but also changes the life of the living. The biography of Alisa Freindlich did not escape this either. Mom's date of death is 1971. She died of a sudden stroke while breastfeeding her granddaughter Varvara, who was three years old.

Immediately after this event, Alisa Brunovna lit a cigarette. At thirty-six, although before that she could not stand the smell of tobacco. Maybe because my mom smoked.

The upbringing of Barbara's daughter turned out more by example than by talk. Once, during a performance where Alisa Brunovna spoke in the role of the Kid: "I'm all alone," Varya screamed: "Mommy, I'm here!"

The actress has become in demand in the cinema. Fans were interested in everything - Alisa Freindlich's personal life, biography, children. Relations with her husband deteriorated. He did not consider her created for cinema. Only work brought her joy. Married daughter Varvara needed attention. After the divorce, the repertoire began to change, and Alisa Brunovna left for the BDT.

Third marriage

Family troubles sometimes make life take a sharp turn. Especially when it comes to personal life and children. In the biography of Alisa Freindlich, the moment came when she could no longer tolerate the amorous affairs of her husband. There was a time when nothing pleased. Salvation Alisa Brunovnafound at work.

After a divorce from Vladimirov, a marriage followed with Y. Nightingale, who at that time was an actor. Varvara was already thirteen years old, and she did not want to see a strange man in her house. They never got along.

Improvisation talent

On the set of the film "The Straw Hat" based on E. Labiche's vaudeville, a cheerful atmosphere reigned. Although Alisa Brunovna was considered a serious actress, she really wanted to embody the image of a frivolous baroness. Together with M. Kozakov they sing a duet, and Freindlich's vocals are beyond praise.

The constant pranks of M. Kozakov and A. Mironov kept the entire film crew in good shape. When Mironov accidentally touched Kozakov's wig and took it off, he continued the game: “What? Very modern. Inspired, Mironov approaches Freindlich and passionately kisses her. Alisa Brunovna does not show that the action is not going according to the script and reacts very naturally. Kvinikhidze, the film's director, orders the filming to continue. Thanks to such episodes, the film became a classic of Russian comedy.

The Third Theater - BDT

Alisa Brunovna came to Tovstonogov's theater as a mature bright actress. She played Irina in Volodin's play, Dostoevsky's Glafira in Sheep and Wolves, a series of characters in plays by Chekhov, Schiller, Gorky, Shakespeare and many others.

Now with her participation there is a production of "Uncle's Dream", where she plays the role of Moskaleva, "Summer of One Year", in which she plays the role of E. Theiler, and a production based on the works of L. Tolstoy, where she plays a museum worker. Her work is interestingperformance "Alice".

To this day, Alisa Brunovna is associated with the BDT. The theater management signed a contract with her and is sure that she will not let her down. Only when the ex-husband of Tarasov's daughter died in a catastrophe did she not go to the play. Everyone who knows her speaks of the deep decency of this amazing woman. Daughter thinks she was the perfect mother-in-law.

Biography of daughter Alisa Freindlich

Varvara grew up behind the scenes from an early age. My father ran the theater, my mother played the main roles. Varya ran into the auditorium for a rehearsal, sat in the dressing room with her mother, when she turned into one or the other heroine. Her parents did not forbid her anything.

They certainly expected their daughter to follow in their footsteps. And Varya was jealous of her mother for her fans and dreamed of having her own family, being a mistress, wife and mother. Parents did not have enough time for upbringing, and for the first three years Ksenia Fedorovna was engaged in it. After her, until the age of ten, the girl had a nanny. She compares her to Freken Bok.

Then there was a divorce, and Varya became an independent child: she ate herself, did her homework. As she says, there were always good people ready to help. And Varvara could invite her friends, go for a walk, but she always called, she cleaned up when her mother came.

Having first entered the theater department, Varvara later moved to the acting department. Her father took her to his course, after graduation he offered a place in Lenkom. But the daughter did not want comparisons of the audience. Having tried film roles, she moved away from the theater for a long time.

Varvara's husband - S. Tarasov, who held the first positions in the city,left the family. He later died when the train derailed. The children from this marriage are Nikita and Anya. They have already grown up. Now Varvara plays with her mother in the BDT.

Love

The personal life of the actress, at first glance, is unsuccessful. But she has friendly relations with the Nightingale. Varvara says that her mother regrets the divorce from Vladimirov, and the director himself writes about love for Alice in a book about his life. She was alone in her fifties. She answered questions with a joke: they say, all marriages were successful. She is such an optimist, Alia Freindlich.

Biographies of children of artists often interest viewers. Which, in principle, is understandable. However, often children follow in the footsteps of their father or mother. So it happened in the family of Alisa Brunovna. It can be seen that Varya, Nikita and Anya have a theater in their blood. They are her soulmates, grandchildren call their grandmother by name. They are friends with their daughter Varya. She herself considers all her relatives to be her big family, although she lives separately.

Life in numbers

If we speak in the dry language of numbers, then the following table can express the life of a people's artist:

Advice from A. Freindlich

Alisa Brunovna was never fat. Childhood years fell on the blockade, the stomach did not grow. And she was always saturated in small volumes. Nevertheless, the body is an actor's instrument, it needs to be monitored. There are four principles that the actress always follows.

1. Cosmetics is important to wash off with ordinary soap. Actors put on greasy makeup, it can clog pores. A special tool, whether it be lotion or milk, will still leave a thin film on the face. There is no real cleansing. Alisa Brunovna advises rubbing the skin until it creaks, completely degreasing it.
2. A good cream costs money. You can cook it yourself by adding a quality cheap cream to olive oil. From Russian, "Lanolin" and "Spermaceti" are suitable.
3. Working in the country is equivalent to the gym, only in nature. Walking in the forest is very useful: mushrooms, berries - all the gifts of nature cheer up.
4. Choosing the style of clothing is very important. Alisa Brunovna's is "Gamin", a French tomboy.

And finally

The date of death in the biography of Alisa Freindlich is not yet worth it. I would like to wish my favorite actress that she does not exist at all. But even if it happens that she leaves, her characters will continue to live their lives on the screen.
