Why "Soviet Catherine Deneuve" Natalia Seleznev still gnaws conscience

Actress Natalia Seleznyova On June 19, she celebrated her 77th birthday. Even today, it is difficult to call her an elderly woman, because she looks great. Editorial "Site" Congratulations to the beautiful actress on the holiday. It also invites readers to remember their journey to the top.



Actress Natalia Selezneva The future star of Soviet cinema was born on June 19, 1945 in a creative family. His father worked as a photographer in a magazine, his mother worked as a fabric artist. Moreover, good positions and even some fame almost nothing Igor Nikolaevich and Nelly Semenovna did not bring. They were forced to huddle in a communal apartment and raise a daughter there.



Still, Natalia was a very active and cheerful girl. A restless baby with a puppet face interested actor Mikhail Mayorov. He met Natalia on the street, and soon almost personally led her to audition for the play “30 silver”. It was approved without any doubt.

Later, the girl was noticed and invited to star in the black and white comedy Alyosha Ptitsyn develops character. And then there was filming in the movie "Girl and the Crocodile."



Note that at first Natalia was listed in the credits under the surname Polinkovskaya (name of mother). She officially became Selezneva much later, when she already received a passport.

Thanks to the early and quite successful beginning of her acting career, it seemed that Natalia would definitely be in Shchukinsky school. However, there was one obstacle: impressive growth.

Already at the age of 14, the beauty swung to 175 cm. And let today this is a reason for pride, and at that time the insulting nickname Dylda clinged to the Seleznevo moment. And acting perspectives have become hazy.

Natalia herself was terribly complex in her teenage years because of her height. But her mother was wise. She took her daughter to the basketball section. And there, among the same high peers, the aspiring actress was able to accept herself.

Despite all the concerns, the growth was not a problem for the acting career, although it caused some inconvenience. For example, in “The Adventures of Shurik...” the main character had to put a pillow on a chair, and sometimes even put it on a chair. They also chose such plans (most often from the bottom) so that Shurik appeared on the same level with Lidochka.



Personal life of actress Natalia Seleznyova admitted that for her affection means a lot. She worked all her life in the same theater, she had only one husband, she gave birth to one child - a son Yegor. I didn’t want to have any more children because I thought it was a betrayal of my son.



Although the affair with her only husband - actor Vladimir Andreev - was not cloudless. At the time of dating, the man had been married for a month. He could not leave his young wife.

Both he and Natalia suffered. They promised to end their relationship, never to see each other again. But after a couple of days, they were again in a hurry to each other, they could not withstand separation.

“I had remorse for a long time. To remove a man from the family is sin, deceit and selfishness. I was worried a lot. I believe that all the troubles that I had to endure after that was my retribution for that act, the beauty later admitted.



Actress Natalia Seleznyova She played a lot of roles, but there is a feeling that she could have done much more. In many ways, she became a hostage of her popular film characters. And the directors simply did not see her in other, more serious roles. Although when the “Soviet Catherine Deneuve” appeared on the screen, the viewer could hardly remain indifferent.

We wish Natalia Igorevna good health and long life!
