Alexey Sheinin. Wife, children of the actor
The personal life of the famous actor, although it is known to a wide circle, however, is not replete with scandals and conflicts. This is due to the fact that Alexey Igorevich allows the latter to be only on stage, in the play, that is, at work. In life, according to the actor’s deep conviction, one cannot play, it is free and beautiful, it is necessary to be oneself in it.
Alexey Sheinin was twice married. His first wife was the actress of the Moscow City Council Theater and the beautiful Nelly Millet. She is a self-sufficient person, a beautiful mother, a thin, intelligent woman. The actors approached on the set of a television show. And after Nelly became pregnant, Alexei proposed to her. They had a daughter, Eugene. The marriage lasted seven years, not having stood the test of everyday life. Immediately after the divorce, relations between the former spouses were tense, but then their daughter rallied them. Now their granddaughters are also strengthening their friendship. Grandmother and grandfather have two of them: Polina and Nastya. Eugenia is now thirty. She successfully graduated from the Law Academy, following in the footsteps of her grandmother on her father - the leading lawyer in Leningrad.
The second and current wife of Sheinin is the Frenchwoman Annie, who worked for 5 years at the embassy in Moscow. They met on a visit to their colleague Alexei in the theater, actress Natalya Sergeevna Arkhangelskaya. Annie now lives with her ten-year-old son Andrei in France. Sometimes she is jealous of her husband for the theater, reproaching that his family is in the background. And this admits Alexei Sheinin. Personal life for him due to the circumstances is possible only with his family in Paris, but he is forced to work in Moscow. Nevertheless, Alexei Igorevich tries to show love as much as possible on his part, and to be a good husband and father. The couple hopes that Annie will soon be able to work in Russia again, and then it will be easier for them.
Actor's life in France
Alexey Sheinin realized himself far from his homeland, participating in some theatrical productions and conducting master classes. In Paris, the Russian acting school attracts quite a lot of professional and non-professional actors. The master transfers his experience to the students, and also teaches them the method of effective analysis. He himself learned this method from Korogodsky, and he adopted it from Knebel Maria Osipovna. The essence of the method of effective analysis is that the actors do not learn the role, sitting at the table for a long time, but immediately get on their feet and begin to study. Then the text is superimposed on this execution.
The actor left for France at 45 and lived there for two and a half years. He learned to speak and play French. Among his works: “They do not joke with love” Musset and “Mozart and Salieri” (translated). But Sheinin still feels and thinks in Russian.
Alexey Igorevich today
It is no secret that the theater, which Sheinin considered and considers his home, is undergoing major changes. It is becoming harder and harder for actors to survive, giving themselves entirely to art. Salaries are small, there are few roles, and it is still far from retirement. But talented people do not give up. Aleksey Sheinin always tries to keep himself in a creative form, not to waste talent on endless meetings with friends and reeling around guests between concerts. For each role, the actor takes seriously, devotes enough time to rehearsals.
