Lyudmila Maksakova is a famous folk artist of cinema and theater. The audience remembered her from the films "Anna Karenina" and "Ten Little Indians". Lyudmila Vasilievna for many years goes on the stage, played many roles in various performances.
Childhood
Lyudmila Maksakova was born at the end of September 1940 in the capital. Her parents were creative people who had fame and popularity. The father of actress Maksakova, Alexander Volkov, was a singer at the Bolshoi Theater. But Lyudmila Vasilievna never saw her parent, since he always refused paternity and did not take any part in the education of her daughter. It is known that in 1942 he left for permanent residence in America.
The mother of Lyudmila Vasilyevna, Maria Maksakova, was an opera singer, People's Artist of the Soviet Union.
Education
Lyudmila Maksakova, whose photo is presented in this article, studied at a music school, but never considered herself special because of her illustrious and famous parents. The children of many celebrities studied at this music school. Despite the fact that Lyudmila successfully graduated from a music school in cello, she never imagined herself as a singer and did not even think about it.
Such an attitude to music did not upset the mother of the future actress at all, since Maria Petrovna hoped that over time her daughter would become a translator. That is why she insisted that the girl enrolled in the Torez Institute. But one case has changed everything. It so happened that Lyudmila Vasilievna once had to see an excerpt from a French play on stage. The actors' game struck her so much that she immediately decided to become an actress.
To realize her dream of acting, Lyudmila Maksakova chose the Shchukin Theater School - a prestigious educational institution in which there has always been a big competition. But still, Lyudmila managed to subdue the commission with her talent, and she successfully acted. Having become a student, I immediately felt free, since my mother’s restrictions were no longer in effect. Luda immediately radically changed her appearance by dyeing her hair. Now, the girl’s makeup appeared bright shades, and not a single student party was held without her.
At one of these student parties, she met Vladimir Vysotsky, with whom she had maintained friendly relations all her life. This lifestyle strongly influenced my studies, so by the third year the performance of the future actress was below satisfactory. They did not take Lyudmila Vasilievna to theatrical practice, since she did not succeed in transforming into characters. And soon the young girl began to torment doubts that she could even become an actress.
And here she was helped by her mother, who not only gave advice, but also hired a tutor for acting. As a result of joint efforts, Lyudmila successfully graduated from the theater school and received a diploma.
Theatrical career
Immediately after graduating from the theater school, Lyudmila Maksakova, whose biography is eventful, enters the Vakhtangov Theater, where she played her best leading roles. The actress herself distinguishes the Tatar princess Adelma from all the heroines in the theatrical production of Princess Turandot (1963). This performance is considered the most difficult for the actors, and for a talented and young actress it was a real test. Her external data and acting talent allowed Lyudmila Vasilievna to play this role in a way that no one else had played before.
Soon they started talking about the young actress, and she immediately became famous and popular. Later Maksakova played diverse roles in the best theatrical productions of the Vakhtangov Theater. The older and wiser the actress herself became, the more profound were her roles. So, in 1976, she played the role of George Sand in the theatrical production of "Summer in Noans." Lyudmila Maksakova perfectly turned into a writer just at the time when she broke up with Chopin, and many problems arose in communicating with children.
Lyudmila Vasilievna perfectly showed in her heroine self-esteem, and excellent intelligence, and a high measure of self-control. And all this was combined in the heroine, talentedly played by Maksakova, with the helplessness and tenderness of a woman who loves sincerely and truly.
