Actress childhood
The homeland of Margarita Krinitsyna is a place with the funny name Novaya Lyalya in the Urals.
The girl’s father was a soldier by profession, so the family traveled throughout the Soviet Union. In the family, in addition to Rita, there were two more children. During the war, father was taken to the front. Mom, like most women, worked at the factory, was a social activist. And the children remained in the care of their grandmother, who took care of her grandchildren and always tried to find something joyful and fun in life. It was called by everyone - “ridiculous”.
Parents divorce
After the war, Margarita's parents broke up, Vasily Krinitsyn left for another woman. For material reasons, the children remained to live with their father in Moldova, and my mother went to their native places, in the Sverdlovsk region. It was a painful situation. The actress herself later recalled how long she ran after the train that took her mother away, they both cried when they parted, and the girl lost consciousness from the experiences.
Stepmom Valentina was not supportive of her stepdaughters and stepson, could beat them for anything. However, she did not have her children. The relationship between the stepmother and the children did not work out in any way. In addition, by nature, Valentine was a real hysterical, although outwardly a very beautiful woman. Rita's father did not take part in the upbringing of the children. Feeling a strong passion for Valentina, in any conflicts he sided with her.
With her mother Margarita Krinitsyna met occasionally, the distance served as an obstacle to frequent visits.
The childhood of Margarita was overshadowed not only by separation from her mother, but also by the suicide of her beloved brother. These events left an imprint on the soul of the future actress, she throughout her life suffered from various complexes.
Artistic abilities
Apparently, the actress Margarita Krinnitsyna inherited the grandmother’s genes - she was a desperate comedian. She loved to play friends. Skillfully did parodies of school teachers, especially she liked to copy the principal. She played with a gas mask, which was kept by her father in the house: put it on his head, legs, constantly portrayed something. She was engaged in amateur art, read poetry well. Friends in unison predicted her artistic future, explaining: "You are so funny!" Therefore, after graduation, Rita Krinitsyna went to Moscow to enter the theater school.
To her own surprise, she entered two educational institutions at once - at the All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography and at the Theater School. Vakhtangov. The story of how Margarita, not knowing how to sing and dance, did all this at the entrance exam before the admissions committee of VGIK, which became her legend. The comedic talent of Rita Krinitsyna was noted. Like a mischievous appearance.
Margarita Krinitsyna (you have the opportunity to see the photo in her youth) chose to study at the Institute of Cinematography, which she later regretted. She realized much later that she would be more in demand in the theater.
Student years
In post-war Moscow, not all institutes had hostels. Margarita lived in the suburbs, near the Yauza River. The VGIK administration rented housing for its students there. In the little rooms there were six people. Of furniture - only iron bunks and awkward cabinets. I had to get to the train by train.
But despite the difficulties, time was fun. A whole constellation of future stars of Soviet cinema studied with Margarita Krinitsyna. This is Nikolai Rybnikov and Tatyana Konyukhova, Marlene Hutsiev and Lyudmila Gurchenko.
Rita Krinitsyna became friends with Isolde Izvitskaya, who became a star from the very first year. Friendship lasted all 5 years of student life. Girls of the company often went to visit classmates, celebrated holidays together, drank port, and danced. And each role Isolde celebrated with a glass of champagne and ice cream.
At the institute, students were not allowed to use cosmetics, so all their beauty was natural. Around Rita, an attractive girl, there were many admirers, but she chose one for life.
Marriage
Fans are interested not only in the creative biography of actress Margarita Krinitsyna. The personal life of a woman is also under their close attention. In the fourth year of the institute, Margarita married Yevgeny Onoprienko. As they said, she recaptured him from her friend Isolde, but Izvitskaya was not upset. Former front-line soldier Onoprienko studied in the workshop of Evgeny Gabrilovich, was talented and tried himself as a screenwriter.
The wedding took place in the restaurant "Aragvi". The young were poor, so all classmates threw themselves off at the celebration. Rita had one festive dress, cream, with a bell skirt, donated by a relative when she entered the institute, and in it she went to her own wedding. And Eugene dressed even worse - a gray suit and a green hat. The wedding gift was only the perfume "Tale".
Life in the distance
Having graduated, Margarita and Eugene were distributed to work in different cities. Onoprienko left for Chisinau, he was accepted as an editor at a newsreel studio. Margarita had a choice in which theater to go to serve: a film actor's studio named after Vakhtangov, Mossovet Theater. She dreamed about Sovremennik, but it was awkward for Krinitsyna to ask Oleg Efremov herself to be taken there. In the end, she ended up at the Moscow Theater of the Film Actor.
For several years, the so-called marriage at a distance lasted for young people. They wrote letters to each other, Eugene visited Margarita in Moscow.
Then, with the assistance of Isolde Izvitskaya, Eugene was sent to work in Kiev, and he persuaded Margarita to move to live with him. Of course, she understood that in Moscow she might have more opportunities to express herself, but Kiev conquered Rita with her beauty.
For a long time after the move, she nevertheless burst into the capital, all of their friends and her husband remained there, but eventually calmed down. And from the 50s of the last century until the end of her life, she lived with Eugene in Kiev.
Acting difficulties

Soon, the couple had a daughter, Alla, Alena, as her parents called.
