Natalia Nazarova is an actress of the comedy genre who has not acted in films and has not played in the theater for about thirty years. Recently, she turned 67. What events in life forced her to leave the profession and how is the fate of the actress today?
Carier start
A native of Alma-Ata, Nazarov arrived in Moscow to enter the theater school. Her date of birth is 06/28/1949. She was a tall girl with an expressive appearance, from which she breathed kindness and amazing femininity. Having enrolled in the course of Peter Massalsky at the Moscow Art Theater School, Natalya Nazarova, an actress whose biography is little known to the modern audience, was immediately invited to the Moscow Art Theater after graduation. 1972 - the year the beginning of her theatrical and film career, which developed successfully from the very first days.
She played dramatic roles and devotedly devoted herself to art, becoming one of the favorite actresses of theater directors. Her characters - Aldons from "Dulsineya Tobos", Nyura from the "Old New Year", Olga and Kaleria from the "Summer Residents" - caused constant laughter in the audience, but she dreamed about the role of the heroine. At the beginning of her career, she managed to persuade director Vladimir Salyuk to entrust the romantic role of a young girl who did not succeed. Instead of touching and tenderness, Natalia Nazarova (actress) brought something to her character that caused the usual laughter in the hall.
The girl was so demanding on herself that in the hostel of the theater she attempted suicide, trying to die. She was saved, but this act revealed the vulnerability and fragility of the soul of the actress. Natalya Nazarova will remain naive and childishly so direct forever.
Actress: personal life, photo, family
Colleagues talk about Natalya Ivanovna, whose photo is presented in the article, as an actress fanatically devoted to the theater. There is a known case when in Tartuffe the partner Stanislav Lyubshin squeezed her hand so that, inadvertently jerking, she broke it, but finished the play without showing any pain. She had no high-profile novels. The actress was so absorbed in art that her marriage to the theater expert Vyacheslav Obrosov, concluded a year later after graduating from a theater school, became an event in theatrical life. They lived quite happily, so their divorce in the 80s surprised everyone. One can only guess what caused him: her husband’s passion for alcohol, the absence of children or the actress’s feelings for a partner, Yuri Bogatyrev, who she carefully concealed all her life.
After the “Let them talk” program in 2010, many began to wonder about who Natalya Nazarova is, an actress whose children left her all alone and sick. In fact, she never had them. The woman lives in a one-room apartment on the northern outskirts of the capital, where her mother, who has passed away, once lived. A little earlier there was no father and sibling. Of close relatives, a niece named Marina, who lives in Almaty, remained. Therefore, after the tragic events of 1989, when an unknown man in the courtyard attacked her and caused a head injury, the woman was left almost without support. She was treated for a long time in the hospital, on the verge of life and death. Doctors managed to save her life, but Nazarova developed schizophrenia, which did not allow her to continue her creative career.
Leaving the theater
Oddities in the actress have been noticed before: she was maximalist in everything, including friendship. One of her friends was Elena Proklova, who decided to distance herself from Nazarova because of the dissimilarity of temperaments, for Natalya Ivanovna was an energetic and too noisy woman. In one of the performances in revenge, Natalia Nazarova, an actress already known, knocked out a chair from under her ex-girlfriend right on the stage. Proklova fell, severely damaging the tailbone, which caused increased interest in the personality of Nazarova.
After the injury, she developed suspicion, stage fear, so gradually the actress began to be replaced in performances. The time has come when the roles are gone completely. The woman stopped all communication with colleagues. This was quite easy to do, because in 1989 the Moscow Art Theater, which had a troupe of 150 people, split into two groups under the leadership of Oleg Efremov and Tatyana Doronina. They ceased to invite Natalya Ivanovna to the cinema, where she played about twenty-six roles.
Filmography of the actress
In her asset there are practically no main roles, but all her characters remain in memory forever, you just need to see the picture with her participation. The most striking roles:
- Verochka in the film by Nikita Mikhalkov based on the works of A. Chekhov “Unfinished play for a mechanical piano” (1976).
- Saleswoman Tamara in the film L. Menaker "Young Wife" (1978).
- Nyura in the comedy of N. Ardashnikov and O. Efremov “Old New Year” (1980).
- Nina Ivanova in the film A. Rogozhkina "Miss Millionaire" (1988).
Natalia Nazarova is an actress starring in the most famous directors of that time. But the real calling card was the role in the film by Pyotr Todorovsky "Beloved Woman Mechanic Gavrilova" (1982).
Star duet with Lyudmila Gurchenko
In the picture of P. Todorovsky, as if woven from short stories, L. Gurchenko plays a 38-year-old woman waiting in vain for her groom at the registry office. This is one of the most striking works, where her talent in a dramatic role is truly revealed. The role of Lucy's girlfriend is played by Natalia Nazarova, an actress whose personal life seems to be intertwined with the fate of the heroine. What is the phrase uttered by Lucy: “At least once in a lifetime a woman must go crazy.” She managed not only to play along with Gurchenko, but also to show the power of her own talent, because she was in no way inferior to the eminent partner. Showing the woman a strong, self-confident, she herself was a child, capable of wondering the world every day.
But with each new role, she seemed to grow into the clothes of her heroines, becoming either a little ridiculous, sometimes funny, sometimes impudent, but always endlessly touching and funny.
Life after glory
After the program “Let them talk” in 2010, the Honored Artist of the RSFSR Nazarov was included in the Union of Theater Workers. She was even offered to play small roles, but she herself understands that this has become impossible. The creative nature of the mentally ill woman found manifestation in the arts and crafts: Natalya Ivanovna embroiders portraits, sews clothes. Her life is measured by its own laws. Natalia Nazarova, an actress whose personal life became public, puts on her best outfit once a week to go to the Vagankovskoye cemetery, where Yuri Bogatyrev is buried. She takes care of his grave and brings flowers, remaining the most devoted of his fans.
