Among the most striking actresses of Soviet cinema, Svetlana Svetlichnaya stands out especially. Her biography as an artist was largely due to her unusual appearance. She was the first movie heroine of the Soviet era, which looked incredibly stylish and confident.
Svetlana Svetlichnaya. Actress. Biography of a beautiful woman
She was born in Leninakan on May 15, 1940. Svetlana became the second child in the family. The first is an older brother named Valery. In 1953, her younger brother Oleg was born.
Biography of Svetlana Svetlichnaya in childhood abounds with relocations. Her father, Athanasius Svetlichny, was a soldier, so he was obliged to change his place of residence often by service. So, having been born in one place, the girl entered the school in another - in Akhtyrka (this is Sumy region). She graduated from school in Sovetsk - a city in the Kaliningrad region.
Her mother (girlhood Maria Zolotareva) always dreamed that her daughter would become famous. In many ways, the biography of Svetlana Svetlichnaya has developed exactly in this way thanks to her.
After leaving school, the girl in 1958 decided to go to VGIK. By that time, her father had just resigned, and at that time the family settled in Melitopol. Svetlichnaya went to Moscow and, having successfully passed the entrance exams, studied at VGIK for five years. She graduated from the institute in 1963.
While still studying, she played in some performances, in addition, managed to star in her first film - “Lullaby” (this happened back in 1960, when Svetlana was only 20 years old). Therefore, by the time she graduated from the institution of higher learning, she had no particular problems finding a job.
So, the biography of Svetlana Svetlichnaya tells us that in 1963 she already worked at the Studio Theater.
After that, she starred in several films, which, however, did not bring her much fame. These are such paintings as “Pure Ponds”, “Thirty-three”, “Hero of our time”, “I am twenty years old” and some others.
The truly famous Svetlichnaya woke up in 1968, immediately after the release of The Diamond Arm, where she played the treacherous seducer Anna Sergeyevna.
Film critics (and viewers, too) note that this is her most vivid and memorable role. In the future, Svetlichnaya played in several dozen paintings, among which, for example, the series “Seventeen Moments of Spring”. There, her partner in the crew was Vyacheslav Tikhonov himself.
Biography of Svetlana Svetlichnaya could not do without a beautiful romantic story.
Even while studying at VGIK, Svetlana met with Vladimir Ivashov, who by that time had already become a celebrity, starring in the famous film “Ballad of a Soldier”. And although the girl always had many fans, Svetlichnaya, as she herself tells, no one, except her future husband, was interesting.
They had two sons: Oleg and Alexey. The second also has a son - Vladimir.
They lived together for thirty years. But it so happened that after a complicated operation, Vladimir Ivashov died. After some time, Svetlana Svetlichnaya remarried, but the marriage with Sergei Sokolsky did not last long. Since then, the actress lives alone.
