Actress Victoria Fedorova received permission to travel to the United States, found her father and married there, but for nothing she was jealous of Soviet women
Victoria Fedorova is an actress who became famous for her original beauty all over the world. From the outside, it seemed that her fate could only be envied. The daughter of a famous Soviet actress and American Rear Admiral made a successful film career, was able to get permission to travel to the United States, where she was reunited with her father, married and received American citizenship.
GettyImages However, on closer inspection, the life of the talented and flamboyant Victoria looks more like drama. Childhood without parental affection, failed marriages, lack of demand in Hollywood, the tragic death of a mother and the loss of custody of his son.
Victoria Fedorova is an actress Childhood without a mother 37-year-old actress Zoya Fedorova and 46-year-old American attache Jackson Tate met at an official reception in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the USSR. Accidental acquaintance quickly turned into a novel, but he was not destined to end with a wedding.

For moments of happiness had to pay a heavy price. Tate was declared persona non grata and left the country. Fedorova, who gave birth to a child from a foreigner, received the stigma of “enemy of the people” and 25 years of camps “for espionage in favor of foreign countries.” She was very afraid that Victoria would be taken to the orphanage. But, fortunately, the baby was taken care of by the sister of the actress, sentenced to life exile in Kazakhstan.

At this time, Jackson tried in vain to contact Zoe and did not even know about the birth of his daughter. It so happened that the future movie star lived up to 9 years in a remote village in the middle of the steppe, called her aunt mother and never saw her father.
Zoya Fedorova was rehabilitated only in 1955. She finally saw her daughter and took her to Moscow. At the age of 14, Vika signed up for a youth studio at the Stanislavsky Theatre. It is noteworthy that Nikita Mikhalkov and Inna Churikova worked there together with her.

The extraordinary appearance and temperament of the girl attracted directors. This determined the fate of Victoria and she entered VGIK, already having the main role in the short film “Two”, awarded the Grand Prix of the Moscow International Film Festival.

The young actress starred a lot. The audience remembered her roles in the films “Lesson of literature”, “About love”, “Payback”. In the magazine “Soviet screen” describes the style of Fedorova: “Sadness of the eye, which does not dissolve either in a smile or in laughter.” A special, sharp plastic. Graceful angularity. Sophistication of a European kind, rare in the guise of our actresses”.

In life, Victoria was a fascinating nature. By the age of 27, she had survived three short marriages. It seems that not every man could withstand the pressure of passion that raged in the soul of a temperamental movie star with sad eyes, dreaming of one day seeing her father.
In 1975, Fedorova received permission to travel to the United States to meet with her father. The visa was issued for three months, and the already approved role was waiting at home. Later, Victoria will say that she did not intend to stay overseas, so fate ordered. One way or another, a completely different life began for her.

Jackson Tate met his adult daughter frankly cool. He still harbored resentment against Zoe for marrying immediately after he left without even talking to the one she loved. And the story of imprisonment for an affair with a foreigner seemed to him something fantastic.

However, communication with Victoria melted the heart of the retired rear admiral and three months together went as one day. And to return to Moscow, the actress was prevented by sudden love. A few days before the end of the visa, Fedorova married the pilot of Pan American Frederick Richard Powy. Detractors talked about a fictitious marriage, but a year later the happy couple had a son, and two more Fedorova received American citizenship.
It seemed that Fedorova had found her American happiness. But fate continued to test the woman for strength. Tate died in 1978 after a long illness. In 1981, her mother was shot dead in her Moscow apartment. Authorities prevented Victoria from attending her funeral, and her mother’s grave wasn’t opened until seven years later.

Fedorova continued to act in the United States, tried to engage in modeling and even wrote an autobiographical book. But without perfect knowledge of the language, she came across mostly episodic roles. My personal life didn't work out either. In 1990, Victoria's marriage broke up, and her ex-husband sued custody of her son.
In the last years of his life, the star of Soviet cinema led a quiet life of the average American. Together with her new husband, firefighter John Dwyer, she lived in her own home in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania. She no longer received invitations to act, painted pumpkins, painted pictures and communicated with only a few closest friends.

From the editorial office Victoria Fedorova is an actress, which is not enough. Looking at her beautiful smile, it becomes unbearably pathetic that she stopped acting. So I would like to see one of the main Soviet beauties still popular, happy and beloved by the audience. But it turned out the way it did. And life, as Pugacheva sings, cannot be turned back.
