What is known about this talented actress who left this world just a few months before her eightieth birthday?
Nosova Tamara: the origin of the star
Of course, all fans of this wonderful actress are interested in where and in which family she was born. Nosova Tamara was born in November 1927, there was a joyful event in Moscow, where her parents lived. Hardly anyone could have imagined that the girl was destined to become one of the most famous comedic actresses of the times of the USSR.
Tamara's father was a senior official who devoted most of his time to work. The girl’s mother did not work, she was engaged in housekeeping and raising an only child. Interestingly, the parents tried to give the future star to school as soon as she was five years old. Such was the desire of the father, who from the first years of his life tried to instill in his daughter qualities such as hard work and responsibility. However, the child was seriously ill, and therefore had to postpone his studies for two years.
School years
The school, which Nosova Tamara went to at the age of 7, was ordinary, elite educational institutions in those years simply did not exist. Excellent student, the best student in the class - the girl always gave her parents reasons for pride. The future actress successfully combined her studies with social life, attended various circles. Despite the fact that Tamara never allowed herself to come to school with unlearned lessons, there were still conflicts with teachers, which was explained by the principle of the girl inherited from her dad.
For some time, Nosova Tamara was fond of ballet, but after reprimanding for being late for a rehearsal she stopped attending the circle. The real passion for the future celebrity was the theater, once having got to the play, she literally fell ill with it. The girl demonstrated the talent of the organizer by creating her own drama club, the actors of which were her classmates. Tamara not only played roles, but also acted as a director. The performances were very successful, they were visited not only by Nosova's peers, but also by high school students. Obviously, the choice of a profession was given to the future actress easily.
Financial problems, poverty - something that even in the war years did not encounter Tamara Nosova. Origin, life in a wealthy family, however, did not make the girl arrogant. As a schoolgirl, she paid more attention to her spiritual development than material wealth.
Studying at VGIK
The years of the war, Nosova Tamara Makarovna spent in the village, where in 1945 the girl was awarded a certificate. Then, on the first attempt, she became a student at VGIK; a huge competition (about 80 applicants for a place) did not become an obstacle to the gifted young lady. The head of her course was Boris Bibikov. It is curious that among the classmates of the artist there were such famous personalities as Vyacheslav Tikhonov, Nonna Mordyukova.
Tamara, as a student, dreamed of serious dramatic roles, but the head of her course, Bibikov, was fascinated by the comedic gift of the future star. According to Nosova, he carefully “sculpted” the creator of humorous images from her, offering to play mostly comic characters. The novice actress constantly clashed with her teacher, several times almost reached her expulsion. However, VGIK Tamara still successfully graduated.
First successes
Nosova Tamara Makarovna is not one of the stars whom fame overtook in her student years. However, she still managed to combine her studies at VGIK with filming a movie, which was greatly helped by such qualities as hard work and perseverance. For the first time, she was on the set thanks to Sergei Gerasimov, who suggested that the student play Valya Filatova in her film "The Young Guard". The character Tatyana is a close friend of the main character of the film, Ulyana Gromova.
Having coped with the role of Vali, the novice actress began to receive interesting offers from other directors. Of course, at first she was trusted to play only secondary characters. For example, in the film “The Fall of Berlin” she played Katya, in the “Page of Life” she tried on herself the image of the nurse Claudia. The owner of a characteristic appearance and comedic gift was noticed, but it was still far from real fame.
Star role

The role of the actress

It is interesting that it was she who became the first star of Soviet cinema, who was not afraid to translate the image of a fool on the screen. Critics admired her trademark empty gaze, her ability to look at the interlocutor without any expression. Such small details as a slightly open mouth and a reddened face completed the image of a silly young lady.
An indelible impression was also made by her special manner of speaking. The actress has demonstrated the ability to arouse laughter in the audience only thanks to the game with intonations. In any spoken phrase, she knew how to put hidden subtext.

She looked great in the film "Wedding in the Robin", in which Pugovkin became her partner.
Filming in fairy tales
Some actors love acting in dramas, others in comedies, and others in thrillers. Tales is a genre that Tamara Nosova has always preferred to everyone else. The personal life of the actress did not work out, probably shooting in film projects for children helped her to escape from endless problems. Basically, she was charged with creating images of kind, caring aunts. An example of such a role is her character Axal in the film “Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors”.
You can see Nosova in other famous fairy tales, for example, “In the Far Far Away Kingdom”, “Fire, Water and Copper Pipes”. Once she had a chance to step back from the role of a soft and tender aunt, it happened thanks to the children's film "New adventures of Puss in Boots". In this picture, Tamara appeared before the audience in the image of the inimitable court lady Dvulicha, fully justifying her name.
Recent movie work
In the 80s, the actress began to settle for roles less and less, increasingly rejecting interesting offers from directors. The journalists could not establish the reasons for the creative crisis, it was assumed that the star was broken by constant failures in her personal life, the death of her beloved mother, and worsening financial situation. Tamara also became angry with the outside world, being fired from the theater, in which she almost did not play. Finally, the celebrity began to fail health, which she did not follow at all throughout her life.
In the 80s, Nosova Tamara starred in such famous films as “The Secret of Blackbirds”, “Calmness Is Canceled”. Finally, the star of the Soviet cinema put an end to her career in difficult perestroika years, until the last remaining a sought-after actress.
Marriages and divorces

After parting with an Austrian diplomat who became her first adult love, she soon met a man who became her second husband. Yuri Bogolyubov was a colleague of his chosen one, came from a well-known acting family. The fateful meeting took place in Yalta, at which time Tamara participated in the filming of one of her films. Interestingly, the relationship was not officially registered, however, life together continued for several years.
The next chosen one was Nosova writer Vitaly Gubarev, specializing in the creation of fairy tales, who worked as a screenwriter. It was this man who wrote the script for the film “Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors,” which his wife adorned with her presence. Gubarev and Nosova spent 6 years together. Tamara called this time the best in her life. However, the dissimilarity of the characters and the related quarrels led to a cooling, as a result, the couple divorced, proving that it was difficult for two creative people to get along in one territory.
The fourth movie star of the Soviet cinema also did not register. The main reason for this decision is the presence of a legal spouse in the chosen one. With Nikolai Zaseev, whose professional activity was also associated with the world of cinema, the actress spent four years. He tried to part with his wife, but she categorically refused to divorce, threatened to commit suicide, prevented her husband from communicating with his daughter.

It was she who became the initiator of the termination of her last serious relationship, despite her love for Zaseev.
last years of life
Numerous novels never led to the appearance of children, it is not surprising that in the last years of her life Tamara Nosova was left alone. Death came to the actress only after many years of beggarly existence. The pension of a Soviet movie star was scanty, she could hardly pay for utilities. Often there were days when the artist did not even have money to buy groceries. In such cases, she visited a dining room organized for the poor and homeless inhabitants of the capital. In many ways, this situation was associated with the pride of Tamara, she never allowed herself to turn to other people for help.
Having stopped acting in films, Nosova gradually refused any outings. This was largely due to the lack of funds for the acquisition of new things, once she even had to go upstage in galoshes to take part in the concert. If you believe the stories of people who knew the star well, even in the peak years of its popularity, she was reluctant to make contact, categorically did not welcome meaningless conversations, rarely approached the phone. With the advent of financial problems, the proud Tamara completely cut off almost all friendly ties.
What did the star do in the last years of her life? Her passion was reading, which she devoted most of her time to. The whole room in her apartment was set aside as a library. The actress read not only in Russian, fluent in English, she got acquainted with the works of Shakespeare and Dickens in the original.
