Bright theater actress Dvorzhetskaya Nina Igorevna is little known to the general public, she does not often act in films, but she plays productively and talented in the theater. Her life looks like a soap opera scenario: love, death, a happy marriage ... But how does the actress really live?
Childhood and family
On January 1, 1961, Nina Igorevna Gorelik was born in Moscow. The family in which the girl appeared had strong foundations. Her real head was Bert's grandmother, an oncologist, her first husband was a well-known essayist, worked in the newspaper Izvestia, in the magazine Ogonyok. He died of tuberculosis. The second husband of Berta was the screenwriter Vladimir Sutyrin, whom Nina called grandfather. Nina's parents - Igor Gorelik (electronic engineer) and Idil Startsev (guide-translator at Intourist) - divorced when her daughter was six years old. The breakup was not peaceful, and Nina watched all the vicissitudes of the family "war."
She was sent to study at a boarding school at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, her mother often went on business trips and could not look after the girl. The father married a second time, but continued to meet often with his daughter. Bert's grandmother demanded that the child be taken from the boarding school, where Nina was absolutely unhappy. Since the mother could not deal with the child, Nina moved to her father, where she finally got the feeling of a real family. The second wife of her father taught her to read, holidays were arranged for the girl, she was taken care of. Mom was present in Nina’s life sporadically, she was completely replaced by her father, whom Nina jokingly called “Mapa”.
Vocation awareness
Even in the second grade, Nina showed her creative nature. After reading the book “The Wizard of the Emerald City”, she persuaded classmates to stage a play on it, she acted as a director and played Ellie. But when it came time to decide on a profession, Nina said she wanted to become a doctor, like her grandmother. Then Berta rebelled, she was categorically against it. By this time, the girl showed the ability to draw, she began to go to preparatory courses at the architectural institute.
And today, in moments of emotional experience, Nina draws and sews dolls. Her career as an artist was hindered by two things. In architecture, it was required to take mathematics, with which Nina had enormous problems. But she couldn’t go to the Polygraphic Institute in connection with the “fifth point” in the questionnaire. Then Nina realized that she wanted to be an actress. She submitted documents to the Shchukin school, but did not pass the stage of the creative competition. In the second year, she again went to school, went through all the rounds, but in the history exam she was given the “troika”, again because of her nationality. Only from the third call did she manage to become a student.
Study
Nina Gorelik entered the Shchukin school for a course of Albert Burov. He became for the actress a real second father. The course of Nina was brilliant: I. Metlitskaya, M. Zonnenshtral, S. Ryabova, I. Shmeleva. But she was not lost against the backdrop of beautiful classmates. A. Schirvindt staged the diploma performance for their course, he looked after the young actress and asked V. Pluchek to take her to the Satire Theater.
The first acting experiences
After school, Dvorzhetskaya Nina Igorevna worked for a whole year in the extras of the Satire Theater. The troupe at that time was shaken by powerful intrigues and wars between star actresses, in them Nina was lost and a year later was left without work. She got into the youth section of the actor’s house, where she talked with a lot of interesting people. Since then, she has been friends with M. Efremov, I. Ugolnikov, I. Zolotovitsky.
Theater work
In 1986, actress Nina Dvorzhetskaya faced problems of lack of demand. Moscow theaters were staffed with young personnel, and no one offered her a job. Then Dvorzhetskaya Nina Igorevna asked her husband Eugene to help her get a job at the Youth Theater, where he worked. At first she was taken in for replacements and one-time roles, and a year later she became a member of the RAMT troupe. Despite the patronage, the artistic director Alexei Borodin has repeatedly said that he took Dvorzhetskaya not because of her husband, but for her talent.
In the theater, Nina is involved in many productions, she has developed her own repertoire. Among her best works can be called such performances: “Bath”, “Berenice”, “Lorenzaccio”, “Suicide”, “Long, long childhood”.
Movie work
In cinema, Nina is less in demand than in the theater. For a long time she only got episodic roles, but there are great works in her filmography. Among the most significant are the films “Russian Ragtime”, “I Do Not Believe You”.
Nina Dvorzhetskaya, whose films can hardly be remembered even by avid moviegoers, was well implemented in television shows. She worked in the well-known comedy programs Oba-na and Doctor Ugol I. Ugolnikova.
Especially vivid and interesting was her role in the mini-series of V. Todorovsky “Thaw”. The role of Rimma Markovna opened the deep dramatic and comic talent of the actress. Work in the series Nina Dvorzhetskaya, whose biography is not rich in significant images in the cinema, recalls with great pleasure. Here she had the opportunity to collaborate with an excellent team, meet close colleagues in spirit, and play an interesting role.
Teaching activities
Today Dvorzhetskaya Nina Igorevna teaches at the Russian Academy of Theater Arts in tandem with A. Borodin and at the Theater School. B. Schukin. Teaching takes a lot of time and energy from the actress, but she finds in it a special charm. Each performance of students is a real test and experience for Nina Igorevna. Now she can be proud that many of her students joined the ranks of famous theater and cinema artists.
First marriage
Nina Dvorzhetskaya, whose personal life is full of strong emotions, says that for her family has always been more important than the profession. She met her first husband even at the first attempt to enter the Shchukin school. They met during the exams, but Nina could not stand the contest, and the acquaintance did not last. Later, when she became a student, and Yevgeny Dvorzhetsky was already an undergraduate, a relationship began between them. At first they became very friends, but gradually realized that there was something more than a partnership between them. At the same time, both Nina and Eugene said that already in the first moments of meeting they felt that they were intended for each other.
The couple lived together for 18 years. Together they overcame all difficulties: lack of money during perestroika, paying off a debt for an apartment, the appearance of a daughter ... When everything seemed to return to normal (a long-awaited son appeared in the family, Eugene got along with work), a tragedy occurred. December 1, 1999, Eugene Dvorzhetsky, Nina's husband, died in a car accident. She was left alone with her 9-year-old daughter and five-month-old son, without permanent work and male support.
Second marriage
For two years, Nina Dvorzhetskaya, whose personal life was tragically destroyed, fought for survival. But once in the House of the actor, she meets Alexei Kolgan, he is 10 years younger than Nina. Almost immediately, they realized that they were very interesting to each other. It took them two more years to understand: they were created for each other. Alexey and Nina say that their marriage is based on mutual understanding and a sense of humor. He easily found a common language with Nina's son, it took a little more time to establish contact with her daughter. But today they feel like a whole, happy family.
Children
Nina Dvorzhetskaya, whose biography was full of love and creativity, gave birth to her first child, daughter Anna, quite late, at 29 years old. The son Mikhail appeared at the Dvorzhetsky in 1999. After the death of her first husband, Nina had to become the main earner in the family. At that moment, mom came to her aid. She took care of her grandchildren to enable Nina to work. The daughter, Anna Dvorzhetskaya, followed in the footsteps of her parents, and from the age of 13 she began acting in films. She graduated, according to tradition, B. Schukin School. Today Dvorzhetskaya is in demand in film and television. Son Michael is also going to become an actor.
