The biography of Svetlana Kryuchkova, an extremely famous actress, is full of bright events.
Family and childhood
The future star of theater and cinema was born in the city of Chisinau on June 22, 1950. Svetlana's family had nothing to do with cinema, theater, or art in general. Kryuchkova’s father was a military man, and his mother was a skunk from the city of Arkhangelsk. As Svetlana herself recalls, her father was an extremely harsh man and always aroused her sense of fear in childhood. The actress says that his father did absolutely nothing around the house while he lived with his mother, during lunch mother always put a plate of food in front of him, and then she cleaned it, while her father did not even raise his hands to move the dish away from him . According to Svetlana Nikolaevna Kryuchkova, her biography has difficult periods. Parents lived together for 30 years, after which they divorced on the initiative of his father, who left for Moscow and began to live with a woman who, according to Svetlana herself, was no better than her mother. Kryuchkova recalls that once she came to visit her father and was extremely surprised by the changes that happened to him - he began to do housework on his own, prepared and even did the cleaning. This taught Svetlana that in tandem with different women the same man is able to show different qualities. The actress does not like to talk about childhood too much, she only answers all questions that during this period no one cared for her, so she had to learn to make important decisions on her own, and notes that it is because of the lack of warmth that she is distinguished by touchiness today. As you can see, from childhood, the biography of Svetlana Kryuchkova presented her with many difficulties, but from each of them the actress learned a useful lesson.
The beginning of the creative path
After graduating from the Chisinau school, Svetlana, like many other young girls who dreamed of becoming an actress, went to conquer Moscow. An attempt to enter the Moscow Art Theater was unsuccessful, Kryuchkova failed the entrance exam. To give up and give up was alien to the character of Svetlana, she got a job, changed many professions, including the operator of the computer center, the locksmith, and even the senior trainer at the Agricultural Institute. The actress recalls that it was an extremely difficult period in her life, there was always not enough money, she had to save on everything and ride “hare” in transport, it happened even to spend the night at the station several times. Svetlana did not leave hope to enter the theater school, and on the third attempt in 1969 she managed to enter the Moscow Art Theater. So began the creative biography of Svetlana Kryuchkova.
First movie role
While studying at the 4th year of the Moscow Art Theater School, Svetlana extends her “lucky ticket”, she receives one of the leading roles in Korenev’s beloved painting “The Big Change”. The first husband Kryuchkova, also an actor, accidentally helped Svetlana get this role. It was he who was supposed to play the role of Ganji, but for some reason the role did not suit him, and he asked his wife to return the script to Mosfilm. As Svetlana Nikolaevna recalls, everything happened by chance, literally in the doorway she ran into a man completely unknown to her at that time, who turned out to be the director Korenev and invited her to participate in a rehearsal. Here, the actress met the already famous at that time actors Zbruev and Kononov. The director offered Svetlana the role of the wife of Ganji and set the task - to resist, while Zbruev would drag her into the room. The rehearsal began, it was extremely difficult for the fragile actress to resist Zbruev, so, confused, she could not find anything better than to bite the actor by the finger. The director stopped the rehearsal, and Kryuchkova, crying, ran away home. Soon Svetlana called the assistant director and said that she received a role in the film, but a completely different one. The film "Big Change" was a resounding success in 1974, and the role of Nelly Ledneva brought the actress fame and universal love. For many years, this role has remained the "calling card" of the actress. According to Svetlana Kryuchkova herself, her biography as an actress without this role would not have been so successful.
