Biography of Inna Churikova: perfection in work and simple female dreams

In early October 1943, the biography of Inna Churikova began. The future actress was born near Ufa, in the town of Belebey, where her parents lived and worked at that time. Father - Mikhail Kuzmich - was an employee of the Timiryazev Agricultural Academy, and his mother - Elizaveta Zakharovna - was a doctor of biochemical sciences. By the beginning of the 50s, parents broke up. Mother and daughter moved to Moscow.

The school biography of Inna Churikova speaks of her diligence in everything. The girl studied well, though she fantasized a lot, but she never even dreamed of theater. Her love for this art grew gradually. Already in the ninth grade, she decided to enroll in a youth studio at the Stanislavsky Drama Theater, which was led by Elagin and Aronov. After graduating from school, Inna tried to enter the "pike" and the Moscow Art Theater School. Unfortunately, the attempts were unsuccessful. But then she passed the exams at the Shchepkin school and was accepted to the course of Tsygankov. After graduation, the young actress received distribution in Kamchatka. Such a choice didn’t upset her, because there is a theater there - and this is the main thing! Her mother did not put up with this state of things, she did everything possible so that her daughter remained in the capital.

The acting biography of Inna Churikova began with the theater of a young spectator, where she entered in 1965. She worked there only 3 years. She was mainly busy in extras and small episodes. Her first "big" roles were in Mikhalkov's tales. And only after working in the play “Beyond the Prison Wall” critics drew attention to the young actress.

In 1973, from the director Mark Zakharov, Inna received her first proposal. Her biography as a real theater actress began with the production of "Til" in the walls of "Lenkom". She played Nele. Then there will be such performances as “The Seagull”, “Three Girls in Blue”, “Ivanov”, “Hamlet”, “Sage”. And her wide acting range began to reveal in them, she demonstrated the novelty of each image.

The biography of Inna Churikova as a film actress began in her student years. For the first time on the screens, she appeared in the film "Clouds over Borsk", where she played Raiku. Then there were small roles in the films “I am walking in Moscow” (a girl painting a horse), “Thirty-three” and “The Elusive Avengers”. But the real popularity was brought to her by the fairy tale "Frost", where she got the role of Marfushka.

Churikova’s fate changed radically after a meeting with Panfilov. For the first time he saw her in the form of Baba Yaga. I must say that all the first roles of Inna Churikova in the movie were eccentric. And Panfilov discovered her dramatic talent in the film "There is no ford in the fire." The film “Beginning” brought world fame to Churikova, where she immediately has two roles: the provincial Pasha and the Orleans Virgin. A special place in her biography is occupied by such paintings as “The same Munchausen”, “Field novel”, “Adam's Rib”, “Year of the Dog”, “Casanova's Cloak”.

In her free time, Inna Mikhailovna likes to wander slowly through the woods, read her favorite books, look at the starry sky, or just chat with loved ones. She tries to spend every free minute with her husband and only son, Ivan. And she also dreams of hanging out the joyful wedding of her Vanya and fostering grandchildren.
