Mom was the head of the literary part, and dad was the announcer. Inna Makarovaâs father died at the age of 34. The mother of the actress went to work in the famous Red Torch Theater. The biography of Inna Makarova begins in the same way as most of the famous artists: in early childhood, she gives performances to relatives, and at school plays in a drama circle.

The biography of Inna Makarova is inseparable from the Great Patriotic War. She began when the actress was only fifteen years old. It was at this time that the girl realized that being an actress was her fate. She travels as part of a drama club with performances in hospitals.
During the war, the famous VGIK was evacuated to Alma-Ata, and in 1943 a new enrollment for faculties was announced. Inna just graduated from high school and decided to go there with her friend. There were a lot of people who wanted to, and the commission made a preliminary audition, which Makarova successfully passed, as did the exams.

Having perfectly played the role of Lyubka, she fell in love with millions of viewers and received in 1949 the Stalin Prize of the first degree.
This film became a landmark in the life of the actress also because here she met Sergei Bondarchuk, who became her husband. He was 6 years older than her and studied at VGIK, returning from the front. Inna Makarova for a long time did not agree to marriage, and they legalized their relationship after the birth of Natasha's daughter in 1950. Their daughter also became a famous actress, playing in the films âStar of captivating happinessâ, which was universally recognized by Solaris, as well as in other films.

After living with Sergei Bondarchuk for 10 years, the actress broke up with him before leaving to shoot Joseph Kheifits's film âMy Dear Man,â where she played the geologist Varia.
