Childhood and youth
On July 8, 1938, in the glorious city of Leningrad, the future most popular and beloved by the audience actor Andrei Myagkov was born. The boy appeared in the family of the professor of the Printing Institute Vasily Dmitrievich Myagkov.
The mother of the future star - Zinaida Alexandrovna - worked as an engineer at the same institute.
At school, Andrei was more fond of mathematics and other exact sciences, however, having matured, he was seriously interested in theater - he began to regularly attend an amateur drama club. He was often entrusted with the main roles in the performances. In those days, his favorite was the role of Plato Krechet. Despite the love of the theater, Andrey Myagkov decided to continue his father’s work and entered the Leningrad Institute of Technology. He graduated from it, received a diploma and was distributed in one of the Leningrad research institutes.
