To this day, older people enjoy watching the movie "Cranes are Flying." When viewing this motion picture it is impossible to remain indifferent. The main characters evoke sympathy and touching feelings. Alexey Batalov’s partner in the film was actress Tatyana Samoilova, a biography whose creative path was filled with joyful and sad events.
The beginning of the way
Tatyana was born in Leningrad in 1934, on May 4. Her father was the famous actor Evgeny Samoilov. Not surprisingly, from childhood, the girl dreamed of taking a creative path. She seriously studied ballet and graduated from a ballet studio. The girl had great abilities, Maya Plisetskaya herself invited her to study at the Bolshoi Theater ballet school. But by that time Samoilova firmly decided to become an actress, so the biography of Tatyana Samoilova did not replenish the profession of a ballerina. But the country has found a great actress. In 1956, she graduated from the Shchukin Theater School and almost immediately began acting in the legendary film Cranes Are Flying. In it, Tatyana played Veronica - a charming girl who is in love, but the war prevented the heroine from being happy. In 1958, in Cannes, the film was awarded three awards. The audience received the actress with enthusiasm. So the biography of Tatyana Samoilova was replenished with another significant fact - the worldwide recognition of her charm and talent and the award for the best female role.
Personal life
While still studying at the school, Samoilova married the young actor Vasily Lanovoy, but they lived together for only 2 years. Then 10 years she was the wife of the writer Valery Osipov. The biography of Tatyana Samoilova later replenished with another wedding with Eduard Mashkovich, from whom the woman gave birth to a son Mitya.

Many have heard about the personal tragedy of the actress, who was deprived of the opportunity to communicate with her son. There were various rumors and speculations on this subject. But on the program of Andrei Malakhov, which aired in the autumn of 2013, everything was explained, and the biography of Tatyana Samoilova became available to the general public. The son, becoming an adult, married and moved to live in America, but he periodically talked to his mother on the phone. Of course, Tatyana Evgenievna would like to see him next to her more often, but in the USA Dmitry has a prestigious job, home, family. But Mitya did not communicate with his father since childhood. At the Malakhov program, they tried to open the veil of this mystery, but each of the characters in the program interpreted the events in their own way. The main thing is that the meeting of father and son took place 40 years later.
Star Trek and Loneliness
After this program, Tatyana Samoilova’s biography became much clearer to her fans, as they also empathized with her beloved actress, who had lived alone in recent years.
Tatyana Evgenievna starred in 24 films, but the most significant in her fate, her favorite works for the viewer, are, of course, Cranes Are Flying and Anna Karenina. The tragedy of family relations in Anna Karenina, the inability to freely communicate with her son is a real biography of actress Tatyana Samoilova. This fact mystically reflected on the life of the great and beloved by many women.
