Actress Alexandra Yakovleva, whose real name is Ivanes, originally from Kaliningrad. And she was born in July 1957, the second day. The fact that the theater is her vocation was learned by the girl almost from infancy. And all thanks to my grandmother, who had dreamed of a scene all her life, but was never able to realize her dream. And therefore, she decided that Sasha would definitely be a movie star. At that time, the Alexandra family lived in a huge Kaliningrad communal apartment, there were more than enough spectators in a large shared kitchen. And to demonstrate young Sasha was that. She knew almost all of Pushkin by heart, attended choreography courses, plus she also went to a music school - learned to play the violin. True, not all residents of the communal apartment were able to appreciate the girl's talents, for which the future star and actress Alexandra Yakovleva in those days received the nickname Murlene Murlo.
"Grandma won't survive this!"
Murlin is not Murlin, however, immediately after school, Alexander entered the theater institute in Leningrad. True, the admission would hardly have taken place if it were not for the same grandmother, who here did everything possible so that a new star would light up in the starry cinematic horizon. This help was, of course, indirect, nevertheless ... The fact is that Sasha did not pass the creative competition. She read in front of the admissions committee of her beloved Pushkin, but they appreciated only the girl’s memory, but not her talent.
And so, not finding herself on the list of admissions to the main exams, the inconsolable Alexander in the institute corridor nearly knocks down Tovstonogov, who was passing by, and realizing who is in front of her, with tears and lamentations: “Grandma will not survive this!” - persuades him to admit her to the main exams. And it does. On the course of Igor Vladimirov. True, in 1978 she was expelled. For absenteeism. And then she decides to leave for Moscow to enter the famous Pike.
"Crew"
Just at this time, George Danelia held among students, as is now customary to say, casting for the role of the daughter of the protagonist in his future film "Autumn Marathon". Sasha did not pass it, but it was thanks to the great master that the whole Soviet Union soon found out that there was such an actress - Alexandra Yakovleva. Because Danelia advised the girl to go to the workshop with Alexander Mitte, who urgently looked for a replacement for Elena Proklova, already approved for the role of stewardess Tamara. Since the latter refused, fearing for her career at the Moscow Art Theater, the appearance of the young, albeit undereducated beauty Alexandra became a real salvation for the director. It was only later, after the release of the "Crew", it turned out that Tamara was far from a secondary figure in the film. At the time of the start of filming, Mitte needed a girl who would not be inferior in attractiveness to Proklova. And Sasha, of course, did not concede ...
And she woke up famous ...
It was with this first domestic disaster film that the biography of Alexandra Yakovleva as an actress began. The film beat all conceivable and unimaginable records in the ratings (if they existed then) of popularity. Photos of Alexandra Yakovleva were sold in all kiosks, it was on all the covers of the most famous cinema magazines.
And although it is impossible to belittle the merits of the picture, which, in addition to the stunning plot, is also a stunning cast, its success was primarily ensured by the erotic scene, with which our cinema in those days of the inhabitants of the country in which “there is no sex” did not spoil . What did not spoil there! There were none at all. And here is such a frank bed scene, and even with the participation of Filatov. True, the latter agreed to undress only to the waist, the actor's legs, dressed in jeans, skillfully masked the sheets, but Sasha was simply charming. Today, this episode would hardly have attracted anyone's attention, but as they say, it was, it was.
There must be some mystery in a woman ...
After the “Crew”, films with Yakovleva appeared on the screen. But her roles in them were no longer so vivid and interesting. Until then, on the eve of 1982, television released a New Year's fairy tale called “Wizards” on the screens of the country. In it, the actress Alexandra Yakovleva appeared in front of the audience in two guises at once. She played, as it were, two roles - the good and complaisant Alyonushka, and her own, but bewitched and vicious. I must say that the film immediately pleased the Soviet audience. And his plot was not bad, and the cast is worthy of applause, and the songs are very good. The very next day, almost everyone was singing them, and the photos of Alexandra Yakovleva were again streaked on the covers of magazines.
Other films
Of the other, more or less memorable works of the actress, one can note the role of Taisia ​​in the historical series “Young Russia,” Natasha in the film “Forgive”, Sasha in the film “Dance Floor”. There were other roles, but less noticeable and interesting.
But since Alexandra Yakovleva is an actress, her photo must certainly appear for the third time in all magazines. What happened in 1997.
Miss from the Capuchin Boulevard
According to the actress herself, she literally gnawed out the role of Diana Little in the sensational film Surikova with her teeth. And again made a splash. If at the beginning of her acting career, Alexandra was lucky to play a role in the first domestic disaster film, now fate has thrown her another chance - to star in the first domestic western. And again success, fame, fans, flowers ...
What happened afterwards
And then there was nothing. The Soviet Union “safely” collapsed, funding for film projects ceased. Three films with the participation of Alexandra Yakovleva are still not finished. Film studios were closed, many wonderful actors were literally thrown out into the street.
Dashing years have passed. Cinema - now Russian - again rose to its feet. Many returned to the profession. But not the actress Alexandra Yakovleva. Her biography made a sharp turn, and the choice surprised all friends and acquaintances.
Public servant of Alexander Aasmäe
And again, her grandmother played a significant role in this. True, already in very sad circumstances. In 1993, the old woman died. And Alexandra turned for help in the funeral to the mayor of Kaliningrad. He did not refuse, did everything he could. And after some time, unexpectedly offered Alexandra Evgenievna the post of vice-mayor of the city. And she, surprised, took and agreed. And I must say, she did the job. And I did not regret my choice.
In 97, she ran for mayor of Kaliningrad, but, alas, despite her high political rating, it didn’t work ... But she managed to continue her education. She successfully graduated from the Petersburg Polytechnic Institute. Specialty - "State and municipal administration." And then she completely connected her life with Aeroflot, which once helped her become famous. Alexandra Evgenievna, after she graduated from the diploma, began working at Pulkovo Airport as the head of the personnel management service.
Today, Alexander Yakovleva holds the post of Deputy General Director of Russian Railways. He does not yearn for his acting past and does not like to remember him.
Personal life
Alexandra Yakovleva got married three times. The first time - while still studying at the Institute of Cinematography. Her husband was fellow student Valery Kukhareshin. They registered marriage at the age of eighteen, it did not last long, but was marked by the birth of the son of Kondratius and the daughter of Elizabeth.
The second husband of Alexandra was the well-known St. Petersburg columnist Alexander Nevzorov. The actress has never commented on the details of this marriage, and indeed she tries not to recall it.
Today, the actress lives with her third husband - Kalju Aasmäe, whom she met back in the 85th on the set of the film “Skydivers”. As you can see, she has been living for quite some time and, as Alexandra Evgenievna herself claims, soul to soul.
