Vinogradova Maria was born on July 13, 1922 in the small town of Navoloki, Ivanovo Region. The first time she tried herself in cinema in 1940 in the Soyuzdetfilm studio in the film Sibiryaki, and in 1943, after the film We Are From the Urals, her career began to gain momentum âat the speed of lightâ.
Start and career milestones
The future actress graduated from the artistic department of VGIK and in the summer of 1945 became an artist of the Theater-Studio of the film actor. Her main roles in this period were teenagers - a fragile figure and a young voice more than once came to her aid when participating in complex productions.
From 1949 to 1952, Maria Vinogradova worked in the troupe of the Tragic Theater of Russian Forces in Germany. This woman is known for her creative fecundity: she has performed more than a hundred roles in theater and cinema.
The demand for her role existed equally in the Soviet and post-Soviet stage of development of the Russian film industry.
Best Actress of the Episodes
The artist Maria Vinogradova unequivocally preferred secondary episodic screen appearances to large tragic roles; This amazing fact was noted with pleasure by the directors and fellow actors who worked with her.
Viewers remember Vinogradova by the colorful characters of a cleaning lady, a controller, a castelwoman who flickered on the screen for a few minutes. Meanwhile, each image was original and special, and the authenticity and credibility of the game contributed to truly popular love.
The growing popularity of the artist was not marked by the party leadership - awards, orders and titles floated away from the actress into the hands of more successful ones, but the directors were crazy about her talent. Over the years, the âundeserved" Vinogradova Maria received only one title - the Honored Artist of the RSFSR, which was the first and last in her long acting career.
Mythic roles

The latest work of the actress in the movie was the notorious Annushka - a harbinger of rock in the film adaptation of âMasters and Margaritaâ from Yuri Rasprav.
The most unexpected role of Vinogradova was the coquette and the proud Margo from the movie Nikolai Gubenko âFrom the Life of Vacationersâ. Partly, such a choice was due to sheer despair, as the director later said. At first, it was supposed to be exclusively Galina Volchek in the role of Margarita. The character and texture of the heroine were created for her. However, Volchek did not go to the shooting for a long time, and after that she gave everything about all 3 days, for which it was required to shoot all the scenes with her participation. And then I had to refuse her and invite Musya. In appearance, of course, she was completely different, but she played in the context that the character was intended. The heroineâs social affiliation turned out to be unexpectedly deep, as well as her motivations, character and emotions. Maria Vinogradova - the actress is very diverse thanks to her special inner intelligence and education, and a simple cheerful character made her a favorite of viewers and directors.

The master didnât want to take Vinogradova either - her voice was recognizable and popular, but a little âhackneyedâ everywhere and everywhere. However, Maria so wanted to voice the cartoon that she agreed to work on the day of the samples and all the following days that fell on state holidays. Such performance, coupled with the natural liveliness and friendliness of the actress, allowed her to become a landmark in the world of animation.

She said that both mom and dad had a relationship until marriage. But they decided to have a baby after their own marriage. When Olga was born, mother was already 41 years old, and her father was already 54 at that time. Sometimes outsiders often confused Sergei Petrovich with her grandfather. At an early age, Olga was ashamed to go somewhere with her father. It happened that she was naughty (and she was a spoiled girl, as she herself admitted later), and random passers-by on the street said: they say that itâs impossible to disturb grandfather in this way. She was very angry, but you wonât begin to declare absolutely everything that this is a father! And after Olga got used to it and no longer paid attention to such trifles.
