Although Vera Vasilyeva was born in Moscow, she spent her childhood in an ordinary communal apartment. That was the norm at the time, so there was no need to complain. The future actress had two older sisters – Antonina and Valentina. And shortly before the Second World War, another child appeared in the family - a boy Vasya.

When the war began, the family was divided. Vera and her father remained in the capital. Mother and young son went to Bashkiria, and Tonya and Valya were evacuated, as they could be useful for the front.

At that time, life was harder than before, and Valya got a job in a factory to help her father make ends meet. She was 16 years old at the time. Even then, she became interested in theater. However, in the turmoil of military life was somehow not before. When she entered theater school in 1943, everyone was surprised.

Being still a student, Vera first starred in a movie. It was a comedy movie called "Twins." And 2 years later, Vasilyeva got the main role in the musical film “The Tale of the Siberian Land”. It is rumored that this picture was noted by Stalin himself. Therefore, a year after the premiere, the girl became a laureate of the Stalin Prize I degree. She received a reward of 100 thousand rubles.

And for participation in the creation of this musical comedy, the actress again received an award from Stalin. In addition, thanks to the shooting in this movie, Vasilyeva met her future husband.

In parallel with his film career, work began in the theater. After working only 2 years in the capital’s cultural institution, the actress received the status of prima. She gave the stage all her free time. Vera Kuzminichna worked at the Moscow Academic Satire Theatre for 70 years.

Vera Kuzminichna worked for some time in the Union of Theatre Workers of Russia. Together with her colleagues, she helped those artists who found themselves in a difficult financial situation.

The personal life of the actress has never been a reason for heated discussions. The chosen Vera was the same Vladimir Ushakov, and whom she played a major role in the film Wedding with a dowry. Only in life there were no wedding celebrations. The couple celebrated an important event right in the hostel.

There were no rings or dresses. Moreover, Vasilyeva has long doubted her choice. And only at the golden jubilee she dressed in a white wedding dress and put on her finger wedding ring.

This and more ultimately melted the actress’s heart. However, there were no children of the spouses.

A few years ago, in an interview, the actress admitted that Ivan Pyriev molested her. He transparently hinted to the girl that she should repay him for taking her to the film “The Tale of the Siberian Land”. But Vera fought back hard. And then the director began to blackmail her that would break the actress’ entire career.



Fortunately, this did not happen, although Vasilyeva never agreed to go to bed with this scoundrel. By the way, this is not the first similar story associated with Pyryev. You can read more about this in the article on the link.

And we have to say goodbye to the great actress Vera Vasilyeva. And let the earth rest!
