The life of Inna Ulyanova is directly connected with the world of cinema and art in the USSR. A bright and impressive artist, as soon as she appeared in the frame, instantly charged with a fair amount of vivacity all the films in which she was present. But as it often happens, the cheerfulness and nonchalance of stars appears only on the stage. In everyday life, each artist experiences his difficulties and troubles.
Biography of actress Inna Ulyanova
The future artist was born in late June 1934 in Gorlovka, located on the territory of Ukraine. Inna's mother specialized in construction, and the father of the young artist was an engineer. After a few years, Inna Ulyanova’s personal biography changes: she and her parents move to live in Moscow. The housing where the Ulyanov family settled down was the property of the Council of Ministers, and some apartments were placed at the disposal of those people whose life was connected with the cinema. In childhood, Inna constantly met some celebrity from the world of cinema. Perhaps these circumstances were the beginning of the fact that Inna thought about the career of the actress. After graduation, the future actress enters the Shchukin Theater School.
University Admission
The chances that Inna will pass the exams were small for the reason that the artist did not go to theater courses and had never appeared on the stage before. Lack of proper preparation did the trick. During the reading of prose before the examiners, the commission was not impressed by Inna. But the fable and poems forced the jury to reconsider their opinion. A few years later, Inna Ulyanova shared her experience with her fans. The actress said that, on the advice of applicants, she began to read loudly Krylov’s fable, but later it turned out that her girlfriend was teaching automatically, without delving into the meaning. The artist was able to understand the meaning of the verses only on stage when she passed the exams. After reading each line, Inna was filled with a loud laugh, and the jury without exception paid attention to the artist.
The beginning of an acting career
Inna is admitted to the university, but Ulyanova is warned immediately that if the girl does not reveal her talents within six months, she will be expelled. The actress was able to prove that it was really worth something and in 1965 she successfully graduated from Pike. Inna got her first theatrical experience on the stage of the Leningrad Theater, in which Ulyanova was remembered by everyone as a comedic artist. Inna effortlessly managed to make the viewers laugh, but she herself dreamed of working in the cinema.
The debut of the actress in the world of cinema
The debut of the artist in the movie took place in 1956. Inna managed to get a role in the legendary film called Carnival Night. The role of the actress was so small that her name did not even appear in the credits. After the first episodic role, Inna began to receive the same proposal plan and appeared in such projects as: “Cross the threshold” and “Flowers are late.” Serious changes in the creative biography of Inna Ulyanova occurred in 1973. This time she was given an insignificant role in the famous film project called “Seventeen Moments of Spring”. The image of the woman under the degree that Inna performed was forever remembered by the viewers and directors of the project. In addition, the actress herself showed how deep her talent is.
The most successful role of the actress
For some time, the actress Inna Ulyanova was offered secondary roles, which each time were given to the artist better and better. Gradually, new projects appeared in the filmography of the actress. In 1982, a real finest hour came for Ulyanova. Inna was invited to take part in the film called "Pokrovsky Gate", where she was given the role of Margarita Khobotova. Initially, the project premiered on the stage. The idea of transferring the performance to the screens came from the director Mikhail Kozakov, however, the senior management of Mosfilm for a long time did not give a positive answer. Inna Ulyanova perfectly played the role of a fierce and domineering woman who was used to subjugating all her relatives. The film project instantly became a favorite creation among the audience. Cues taken from the film were passed from mouth to mouth. The ranks of fans of the actress began to quickly replenish. Alas, this was the last serious role in the film career of the artist. In the following years, Ulyanova appeared exclusively in secondary roles.
Filming in advertising
In addition to participating in the cinema and theater, the artist was remembered by numerous viewers for advertising from the 90s. Inna played the role of a woman promoting a kitchen cleaner. Many colleagues on the set spoke sharply about the decision of the actress to contact the advertising field. However, Inna Ulyanova herself believed that there was nothing shameful in this. If she can play a bitchy woman of easy virtue without a conscience, then she can certainly advertise a cleanser without shame. According to the artist, many of the colleagues who once reproached her for filming commercials later began to appear in advertisements for dental powders and other hygiene products. According to Ulyanova, this is not a bad chance to remind viewers about themselves again.
The personal life of the actress
Inna Ulyanova’s personal life was far less optimistic than her film career. The artist recalled that many men tried to win her favor, but she herself decided not to rush to connect her life with the first gentleman. Over the life of the artist, she several times agreed to tie her fate with men, but she never entered into marriage with them. The actress was married once. In 1966, Inna became the wife of actor Boris Golaev. However, after 1.5 years, the couple divorced. Failures in her personal life finally reassured Inna that she would one day become the happy wife and mother of her children. Rumor has it that the main contenders for the heart of the charming actress were: the famous artist of Soviet cinema and theater Yevgeny Morgunov and the unsurpassed athlete V. Brumel. However, neither one nor the second applicant was able to win over the lady.
Alcoholism of Inna Ulyanova
Unfortunately, at the end of her life, the artist became addicted to alcohol. What really prompted Ulyanov to drink, no one can say. Perhaps the reason was loneliness and failure in his personal life, and perhaps this is due to a career. Recently, before her death, the artist avoided meeting with friends and people close to her. People living in the neighborhood said that Inna Ulyanova often went into binges. The actress was even in the hospital for some time, but the rehabilitation course did not help the woman, and she again became addicted to alcohol. After some time, the artist lay down under a surgical knife, as a result of which she underwent a serious operation. But even this did not help her cope with alcoholism.
The departure of the actress from life
After some time, Inna stopped responding to calls and opening doors to neighbors trying to reach her. Complete silence outside the door alerted the neighbors, and they called the Ministry of Emergencies and police officers. Opening the door, the actress was found in extremely serious condition, after which the woman was immediately taken to the hospital. Unfortunately, the actions of the doctors were slightly belated. June 9, 2005, the actress died. The cause of the woman's death was cirrhosis of the liver of the last stage. The unexpected death of the famous artist, as well as information about addiction to alcohol shocked fans of Inna Ulyanova. However, her talent forever remained in the memory of viewers. Perhaps if the fate of the famous artist were different, she would have lived a happier life, in which there would have been many joyful moments. In any case, it is impossible to forget the charisma of the actress. Thanks to her radiance, the roles of the secondary plan turned out to be memorable and interesting.
