On March 7, 1941, the future actor of the Soviet and post-Soviet period, People's Artist of the Russian Federation Andrei Mironov, whose biography immediately promised to be difficult, was born in the Moscow hospital of Grauerman. Parents, Alexander Menaker and Maria Mironova, were famous pop artists. Since Andryusha appeared on the eve of International Women's Day, they moved the baby’s birth time several hours ahead and announced little Andrei Menaker a gift by March 8 to all the women of the world. Of course, this was done in a narrow circle of friends, but the joke was a resounding success.
But the war soon began, and thus the
biography of Andrei Mironov received the first page, tragic. The Moscow Theater of Miniatures, in which Mironova and Menaker worked, was evacuated to Tashkent, along with all the cast. After the war ended, the family returned to Moscow, and Andrei entered first grade. The boy studied well, although he sometimes missed classes in order to watch a new film in a cinema near the school. When Andrei moved to third grade, clouds hung over his family. The country opened the so-called case of doctors about the wrecking activities of doctors in Moscow hospitals. Biography of Andrei Mironov
contains information about events of that period. And although no one in Alexander Menaker’s family had any relation to medicine, one had to fear persecution, since the actions of the prosecutor's office were clearly anti-Semitic. Under the pressure of circumstances, Andrei Menaker changed his name and became Andrei Mironov.
The first acquaintance of Andrei with cinema took place in 1952, when the film "Sadko" was shot in Moscow and director A. Ptushko began to recruit young men for episodic roles. And invited
Andrei Mironov. He was to play the role of a poor boy. However, he disdained torn and dirty clothes, which he had to put on himself, and he was immediately expelled. The film debut did not take place, but Andrei enthusiastically participated in the production of school theater studios organized by the teacher Nadezhda Panfilova.
After school, Andrei Mironov entered the Shchukin School of Theater Arts , while no one knew which family he came from. Thus, almost incognito, Andrei was taken to the first year and began training under the guidance of the famous director Joseph Rapoport. The biography of Andrei Mironov was continued. According to the memoirs of fellow students, he was a diligent student, did not miss classes and dreamed of a red diploma. For the sake of school performance, he did not even think about filming a movie, unlike his comrades, who used every opportunity to participate in the crowd. And only in the fourth year, Andrei starred in the film "And if it's love?". Thus, the biography of the actor Andrei Mironov in his student years included only one page devoted to filmmaking.
After graduating from college, he entered the Moscow Theater of Satire, which became his family for many years. In the future, Andrei successfully combined work here with filming in the cinema. Films about youth "My little brother", "Three plus two" enjoyed constant success with the public. And in 1966, Mironov played the role of the roguish Dima in the film "Watch Out for the Car" staged by Eldar Ryazanov. But the most popular movie masterpiece was the painting “Diamond Hand”, in which he played the classic scoundrel Kozodoev, charming and not far. However, in general, the biography of Andrei Mironov has developed in such a way that his main roles were in the theater of Satire. They made up his whole life, bright and, unfortunately, short-lived. The actor died suddenly in 1987 on the stage of a theater in Riga, in the middle of the staging scene in the play "Crazy Day, or The Marriage of Figaro".
