From childhood, she was destined to become an actress. And it could not be otherwise, because her parents were some of the most famous artists of the Soviet Union. And she herself starred in films (“The Secret of the Blackbirds”, “Where is Nofelet?”, “The Most Charming and Attractive”), which thirty years later, viewers watch with a special feeling - incessant interest and tender nostalgia for the past, for their youth . Yes, yes, it is she, Veronika Izotova, a Russian actress who has played interesting roles in more than fifty films.
Childhood
Born May 28, 1960 in the family of the most famous actors of Soviet cinema. Her mother, the beautiful Inga Budkevich, once played in one of the fairy tales most beloved by small spectators: “Fire, water and ... copper pipes” and “Barbarian beauty, a long braid”. The country recognized her father, the courageous Eduard Izotov, after another kind children's fairy tale “Morozko” was released, in which he played the role of Ivanushka. So, being an acting daughter, Veronika Izotova did not even think about another fate. And she did not imagine another profession for herself.
"I'm trying for a role ..."
She appeared on the screen as a baby when she was filming an episode with her dad. But the real, “adult” debut of the girl took place at eleven years old. Her character was a girl named Mike in the musical film by Ekaterina Stashevskaya "Boys".
Many years later, Veronika Izotova, actress, already held in the profession, recalled how she came to Mosfilm to participate in the samples. All potential actresses played the same scene. And just before the start of the test, the girls spoke their name and that they were acting as Mikey. From childhood, Izotova was a rather doubting person, so instead of the required text, she voiced a slightly different one: “I'm trying.” The actress thinks that this was appreciated, because she was approved for the role of Mikey.
The most beautiful
Four years later, in 1975, Veronica Izotova gets a new role. Her character is Katya Tugarinova, who is the most beautiful girl in the school. The next year, the girl is offered a role in the film "Time has chosen us" - a partisan. And a year later she is again the most beautiful. The most beautiful girl in the classroom in the film "Confusion of feelings."
After leaving school, Veronika Izotova, the actress, who is now remembered with admiration, enters the legendary VGIK. She was lucky to study on the course of the famous couple of the Soviet Union - Irina Skobtseva and Sergey Bondarchuk.
The directors did not leave the young actress alone. The role of Natasha was added to her piggy bank - it was an optimistic drama “With Love in Half”. A little later, she was again the most beautiful, playing a pretty enough, but at the same time very angry girl in the film "Rainfall".
Way to adulthood
In 1981, Veronika Izotova, whose films are still watched with warmth and inspiration, becomes an actress in the Moscow Theater Studio. She very often goes to the set. To her great regret, the directors see in her only a fatal woman, a beautiful predator, a kind of “snow queen”.
Roles, completely unlike the usual ones, Izotova had to play infrequently. But they were. "Wandering Stars" is a melodrama by Vsevolod Shilovsky. She got the character of Henrietta Schwalb. This was the first characteristic role of Veronica Eduardovna. She was completely different: bastard and at the same time beautiful, angry and envious, suffering and loving. Many years later, Veronika Izotova shared memories that she was very interested in working in this film.
Another, unusual, but preserving warm memories picture was the tape "White Horse". Here she played two roles at once - Kolchak's mistress, an aristocrat of blue blood, and her own daughter. A very thick layer of tone was smeared on the face of the actress, because it was necessary to show a bruise under her eyes and a haggard face; her hair was tangled, her clothes torn. And the gait left much to be desired. It was this character that aroused admiration for the actress, because she had to play many more faces than in the "Snow Queen". Izotov was always attracted more to emotional temperament than to restrained inner.
Veronika Eduardovna adds two more to her favorite films: the family saga Time and the Conway Family by Priestley (directed by Vladimir Basov) and the phantasmagoric parable Seven Shouts in the Ocean based on the play by Alexandro Casona. She was already preparing for the second tandem with Basov: a talented actor and director invited Izotova to star in the film The Mousetrap, but his death prevented the implementation of these plans. The picture was still shot, but Samson Samsonov, who replaced Basov, gathered his team for the shoot ...
Her feminine happiness
In the mid-nineties, the actress almost stopped acting in films. She was lucky to work in the police detective "On the corner at the Patriarchs". And after interesting offers have been received. She, like many other talented actors of past years, was not needed by modern cinema.
Veronika Izotova’s personal life resembles a maze, because of her three marriages, the first and third husbands turned out to be the same man. And until now, she does not understand what prompted her to divorce a few years after the first marriage, and then enter into a second, erroneous and lasting only seven months alliance with the "talker bird" - actor Alexander Pankratov-Cherny.
But now all this is already in the past. She is happy in marriage with Valentin Bubentsov, who is a rather wealthy businessman. They have an adult daughter, Dean, who herself is the mother of a charming little girl Veronica.
