Hearing the name of Natalya Daryalova, Russian viewers will immediately remember the elegant brunette with a radiant smile and sunbeams in her eyes, not like any other TV presenter of the 90s. People watched with interest her author’s show “Everyone on the lips.” Daryalova’s impeccable style, her beauty, manner of speaking fascinated.
Even more interesting were the extraordinary statements of the TV presenter and the invariably optimistic view of human capabilities. The principle "become famous to be happy", which she declared then, Daryalova over the years rethought and found a new recipe for happiness.
Family values
Natalya Daryalova was born in Moscow on September 14, 1960. Her father, the writer Arkady Weiner, and her mother, Sofia Daryalova, a world-renowned professor of oncology, managed to instill in her only daughter faith in the power of the human dream. In an interview, Natalia said that she grew up in a unique family. Everything was done in it together. Everywhere they took little Natasha with them: on a visit, on a trip.
Big and small issues were discussed at the family table, and Natasha’s opinions were respected. Parents participated in the life of their daughter, despite the crazy work. Natalia always considered her father to be her best friend, and his death in 2005 suffered very hard.
What is most important
Natalya Daryalova graduated from Moscow State University with a diploma in psychology, and this specialty gave her the ability to understand what things are really important for a person. Outside success means little. Daryalova is convinced: happiness is not a set of external attributes, but a collection of feelings. As a child, Natalia dreamed of a magic wand, which in the blink of an eye would turn all unhappy people into happy people. To this day, Daryalova lives on the desire to provide mental help to those who suffer. She studied the ancient and modern methods of psychological support and came to the conclusion that a person finds happiness in a community with his own mind. Feelings, thoughts can and should be controlled, Natalya is convinced.
Creative projects
The biography of Natalia Daryalova is more of a world of television and literature. In the post-perestroika years, Daryalova left for the USA to become an independent person, and not as a “Weiner daughter”. It was difficult, sometimes there was not enough money to get on the bus, but in overcoming life's difficulties, Natalya saw a huge meaning. Independence and freedom - symbols of America - turned out to be close to its nature.
Across the ocean, Natalia began to work with Forbes magazine and work on the ABC channel. Then the journalist came up with the idea of the program “On Everyone's Mouth”, with her she went straight to the president of ABC and found support. The broadcast for the Russian audience was not broadcast on air in America, but on the First Channel of Ostankino on April 1, 1995. After a year and a half, the TV show moved to RTR. And soon Natalya became the organizer of an entire channel - “Daryal-TV”. She led him until 2002. Then followed a long history of reselling rights to the television channel. Now on its frequency broadcasts the station "Che".
Film career
Natalya Daryalova turned out to be an actress only once: back in 1978, when the film “You can’t change the meeting place” based on the Weiner brothers novel “Era of Mercy”, Natalya got an episode in the scene when the MUR employees were waiting for the bandit Fox in the Astoria restaurant. In the role of a young lady, Natalia sat opposite Zheglova (Vladimir Vysotsky).
Remembering the time of work on the "Meeting Place", Natalia said that the creative team of the film was planning to continue, but Vysotsky died, and there was no one to replace him. A few years later, Weiners started negotiations with Hollywood studios on the filming of a remake and the continuation of the "Meeting Place". Al Pacino was considered for the role of Zheglov, and Matt Damon could play Sharapova, but the project was never implemented.
As a writer
The daughter of the writer, Natalia, of course, tried herself as the author of literary works, choosing the genre of fiction. She specifically took the name of the mother, so as not to depend on paternal fame. Stories sent to various editions often came with a refusal. But there are works that saw the light.
Personal life
Natalia got married almost immediately after graduation, while studying at the university she was already a young mother of two charming daughters - Lisa and Valeria. Natalia does not give her husband’s name, she only says that she’s a scientist: then she is a Ph.D. from Siberia, and now she is a professor of economics who lives in New York. The couple parted immediately as they arrived in America. Natalia never met her prince again. Daughters, she said, even though they consider America their home, were brought up in two cultures - American and Russian.
About character
