We all know Natalya Varley well. Her name and surname forever left a mark in Soviet cinema and the hearts of an entire generation. Still, an athlete, a member of the Komsomol, just a beauty and a little panel in one person at that time had killed many on the spot. But few people know that she has a younger sister, Irina Varley, who also tried herself in the acting field.
Sister mate
When, in the distant 1966, the director Jungwald-Khilkevich noticed the young and miniature balancer Natalya Varley, no one could have thought that all-Union fame would come to her. In the first film, she got a small role as a nurse. And the next one is the main one - she played Nina in the "Caucasian Captive". Glory immediately came to her. Then there was the legendary Viy, which became the first Soviet horror film, and these two images stuck to the actress forever.
Against the background of the girl’s popularity, success came to her younger sister Irina Varley. When the girl was 16 years old, on the recommendation of a relative, she took part in the samples for the main role in the film "Waltz", which was released in 1969. The sister of the panel was immediately approved for talent and an even more pretty appearance.
Movie career
Everything was going fine. Especially considering the fact that both sisters were not professional actresses. True, Varley Sr. still enrolled in the Shchukin school, which she graduated in the 71st year.
Irina Varley played in only three films. In two of them, she had the main roles. But then everything changed. Natalia after “Wii” starred in many films, but among them there were no iconic films. The directors stopped calling her to the top projects. Why? It is not known for certain. This left an imprint on the affairs of actress Irina Varley. But she decided to start shooting at the age of 20, not only because of this, although she was prophesied a huge success. The girl did not like the world of cinema, she preferred a quiet measured life and family well-being to him.
The roles of Irina Varley
In 1969, the actress played the main role of the girl Tony in the television movie “Waltz” by Viktor Titov about the difficult days of the siege of Leningrad. Then there was Verochka in "Premature Man" based on Gorky's unfinished play. The last role of actress Irina Varley was in 1972. She was honored to play the main character Yulka in the film of the same name about students of vocational schools.
Life after the movie
There is very little information about Varley Jr. It is only known that, having left the cinema, she received a building education and healed, like all ordinary people. Currently, a 65-year-old woman is working in the State Archive in Moscow, to which she has devoted several decades.
