We represent the Honored Artist of the RSFSR, who gave 45 years to the Mossovet Theater. Valentina Kareva created about 30 memorable images on the stage. Among them: Olya from the Arctic novel, Sasha from the Living Corpse, Lidia Nikolaevna from Mashenka. What is known about this wonderful woman?
The beginning of the way
A native of Yegoryevsk near Moscow was born in 1951, December 22. As a child, she did not even think about the profession of an actress. Her family was far from this, and there was no theater in the city. But Valentina Kareva loved watching movies, imagining herself in the place of her favorite characters. At the end of school, the dark-haired beauty ventured into the theater school and the first time she became a student of the famous "Pike." Her teacher was T.K. Kopteva.

Since 1973, the life of a novice actress has been associated with the metropolitan scene. She was invited to the legendary Mossovet Theater. At that time, Rostislav Plyatt and Lyubov Orlova, Faina Ranevskaya and Vera Maretskaya shone on his stage. Their future celebrity was considered their main teachers. Despite the stellar cast of the troupe today (Alexander Domogarov, Ekaterina Guseva, Olga Kabo), Valentina Kareva believes that the theater does not reach the 70s. Then the actors were offered another, more complex material.
Valentina Kareva: personal life
In 2016, the actress together with her husband celebrated the 40th anniversary of marriage. Like the theater, to which Valentina Denisovna has been devoted all her life, she devoted herself to the only loved one. Their acquaintance took place in 1975 on the set of the film "Winner". Valentina Kareva starred with V. Korenev, who brought Yuri Koskin, his friend, a surgeon at that time. A romance broke out between them.
The young man literally fell ill with cinema and decided to change his fate. He studied at VGIK as a screenwriter and began working on TV as an editor, then switched to the famous film studio named after Gorky.
The spouses have two children. Natalya Troitskaya, who took the name of her grandmother, followed in the maternal footsteps. She is an actress, works for M. Rozovsky. She is already 40. Recently, the name of Natalya Yuryevna can often be seen in the media because of a scandalous divorce with the singer Yevgeny Kungurov, the star of the television project Golos. Son Alexander is 10 years younger than his sister, he chose the profession of engineer, is engaged in computers.
Valentina Kareva is the happy grandmother of a 16-year-old grandson named Cyril, the son of Natalia, who is on the verge of choosing a life path. Will he follow in the footsteps of a famous relative?
Career in cinema
Did Valentina Kareva act in films? The actress, thanks to the textured appearance, often appeared on screens in the 70-80s. But these were either minor roles or films. So, on the account of Kareva - Paula in “The Ugly Elsa”, Princess Eboli in “Don Carlos”, Antonina Perchatnikova in “Heart Surgery”.
The actress herself admits: she never managed to find her director. She could have shone in the "Star of captivating happiness", but at that time she was busy in the theater, from where she was not released. The role was given to Irina Kupchenko.
Fate could bring the actress with Lev Kulidzhanov, but she chose motherhood. One of the administrators rebuked Karev: "Your career may develop, but you give birth." But for the young woman, there was no choice. She wanted to have children and had them. Before my eyes stood examples of great actresses who abandoned the happiness of motherhood, and in old age were forgotten by everyone.
In the track record of the actress 25 film works. The last time she appeared on the screen in 2013, creating on the screen the image of Valentina Volokhova in one of the series - "Game in earnest".
Theater in the life of an actress
Valentina Kareva began to play on stage under Yuri Zavadsky, who was replaced by Pavel Chomsky in 1977. She has a good theatrical fate, roles that cannot be forgotten. Her noble beauty and an unforgettable eye shape made it possible to create images of arrogant and proud beauties: Nadezhda Kuzminichna in the "Silver Age", Nina in "Vanechka", Ermia in "Whims of Love".
Today, three eminent directors are responsible for the repertoire of the theater: S. Yursky, A. Konchalovsky and Yu. Eremin. They still trust the role of the 67-year-old actress, who is engaged in 4 performances of the current repertoire, which cannot but please her fans.
