Films with Margarita Terekhova: a list of acting

The film was first discussed with Margarita Terekhova in 1974 after the release of Mirrors, noting both Tarkovsky’s picture itself and the actress’s game. Even after “Dogs in the Hay” and “Three Musketeers”, her role in “The Mirror” was called by the best specialists. Her beauty, together with an aristocratic manner of holding on, is remembered immediately and for a long time, the “cello” voice penetrates right through. Despite her popularity in the cinema, her excellent work on the theater stage, the actress became the People's Artist of the RSFSR only in 1996, at which time she stopped acting.

Brief biography of the actress

Margarita Borisovna Terekhova was born in a family of actors on August 25, 1942. Hometown - Turinsk, Sverdlovsk region. Due to the booming war and poor health of his daughter, the family moved to Tashkent, where it was much warmer.

The girl was always and everywhere a leader: in the courtyard where she lived, at school, in basketball - the captain of the youth team of Uzbekistan. Such an active, unusually beautiful, slender and long-legged girl has always been surrounded by a crowd of admiring fans. After graduating from school with a gold medal, Terekhova enters the republican university, but after two years he leaves him, leaves for Moscow. Not enrolling in the All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography, she enters the school-studio at the Mossovet Theater. The talent of the actress manifests itself immediately - she becomes the leader of the troupe, causing envy in the female half. A wayward and independent character is also noted immediately: not having time to devote a lot of time to yourself, because you have to somehow try to survive in huge Moscow, the girl decisively cuts her braid.

It becomes clear that success came to Margarita Terekhova, and films with her participation begin to regularly appear and receive awards, her magnificent works on the stage of the Moscow Academic Theater named after Moscow City Council, glory comes.

After the "perestroika" appeared only 4 film works of the actress. She begins to get seriously ill, becomes lonely and useless to anyone. This is the common fate of actresses who surrender to work completely.

The film "Mirror" and Andrei Tarkovsky

In 1974, the actress was invited by Andrei Tarkovsky to play the main role in the film "Mirror". Talk that she was a muse, and not only Andrei Tarkovsky, does not stop to this day. Muse, beloved, friend, who can be trusted with the most secret, but it was this film with Margarita Terekhova who took 19th place in the final list of the greatest films based on the results of the 2012 survey of 846 film critics and 9th place according to the results of the survey among 358 film directors, was marked as the best at Tarkovsky. In 1980, the painting "Mirror" won the prize "David di Donatello" in Italy.

"Dog in the manger"

Ian Fried, the director, famous for many films-performances in the genre of musical comedy, very much risked his peace, bringing together three characteristic actors with the strongest temperaments: Margarita Terekhova, Mikhail Boyarsky and Nikolai Karachentsova.

The film crew called Terekhov-Diana “fury”: she argued endlessly with the director, sharply insisting on her own, interfered in the work of the film crew. But how good Diana-Terekhova! Sophisticatedly beautiful, elegant, smart, playing with her face as a musical instrument, with the gait and manners of the Spanish queen, she makes men's hearts flutter both for Spanish grooms and for Russian spectators. This forty-year-old film, like many others with Margarita Terekhova, has a long life.

"Three Musketeers"

Milady in The Three Musketeers is neither like Milady Dumas nor the “blond angel” performed by Milen Demonjo in a classic French film adaptation. And this, according to many, is even very good. Milady-Margarita Terekhova in the film “Three Musketeers” is a beautiful, treacherous, evil and merciless fury. The pursress's pursed lips are not stubbornness, but hatred. This Milady is rather the Duchess De Chevreuse in her old age, described by Dumas in "Ten Years Later" or even Mrs. Chevley from O. Wilde's "Ideal Husband": smart, red-haired and green-eyed, "in general - a work of art, but with too many traces schools. " Magnificent medieval costumes in films with Margarita Terekhova are really a real work of art. And how she knows how to wear them! This applies not only to the Musketeers, but also to the paintings The Dog in the Hay, The Pious Martha, and theatrical performances.

"Running on the waves"

Despite the good acting, noted by all critics and ordinary viewers, the film “falls apart”, its wonderful scenes with Frezi Grant - Margarita Terekhova, do not save. The huge close-up of the heroine of the picture is beautiful, her voice and ghostly image is amazing, wonderful, unique. Frames running through the waves of Frez are imbued with a wonderful secret. But this film did not work with Margarita Terekhova. On the set, the actress met with her second husband - Bulgarian actor Savva Khashimov. He played the main role - Harvey, a handsome man in all respects, and even with a pleasant Bulgarian accent. For the sake of Margarita Terekhova, Savva divorced his wife, having moved to Moscow. But this actor’s marriage broke up, because “he” could not stand the life of the Moscow hostel, and “she” did not want to leave her Moscow.

"The Seagull" - the last film of the actress

In 2005, she made her debut as a screenwriter and director. The film "The Seagull" by Margarita Terekhova is based on the play of the same name by A.P. Chekhov. The role of Irina Arkadina was played by herself. The film was shot in the writer's homeland - in the museum-estate of A.P. Chekhov in Melikhovo, and also used the shores of Lake Pleshcheeva. The text of the play remained completely unchanged. The film in the first place, like the play, talks about the fragility of human souls. The leading roles were played by the son and daughter of Margarita Borisovna: Alexander Turaev - Treplev and Anna Terekhova - Nina Zarechnaya. Their acting work was very well received by the audience of the film. It is a pity that the film was released only in DVD format.

It is also a pity that Margarita Borisovna failed to fulfill the dream of her life - to play the famous St. Petersburg Saint Xenia the Blessed.
