Childhood and youth
Irina Feofanova was born on April 18, 1966 in the city of Penza. The whole family of the future artist was busy in the construction business. When the girl graduated from fifth grade, parents decided to move to Moscow. The change of scenery did not affect Irina at all. After moving to the capital, our heroine quickly found new friends and continued to remain the same initiative, talented and sociable child, as before.
Parents have always seen in Irina Feofanova the successor of the family business. Therefore, as soon as the girl graduated from school, her father advised her to enroll in the Civil Engineering Institute. However, here our heroine did not stay long. Soon, Irina began to devote all her free time to classes in the theater studio "On Usachevka". Then the beginning actress began to offer roles in the productions of the Maly Theater.
Having dropped out of school at the Institute of Construction, Irina Feofanova entered the Shchepkin Theater School. The girl turned out to be a diligent student and spent absolutely all the time to achieve high academic success. The efforts of the young artist were not in vain. Already in her second year, she began to be involved in filming in the cinema.
Movie debut
Irina Feofanova first appeared on wide screens in 1986. At this time, a young graduate of the theater school was offered to play the role of a girl named Lena Paygin in the crime drama “Without Limitation” by the famous Soviet director Edgar Khodzhikyan.
A year passed, and Feofanova again took part in the filming of a serious movie. The second picture of the young actress was the drama "We Are Your Children." By the way, here our heroine was lucky to work on the same platform with such respected artists as Leonid Kuravlev and Galina Polsky.
Theatrical career
In 1989, actress Irina Feofanova became a permanent member of the Moscow Drama Theater troupe. The artist devoted a considerable part of her life to cooperation with the creative platform. While working in the theater, Feofanova entrenched a number of constant roles. In particular, the actress became a real star of such plays as “My wife is a liar”, “She is in the absence of love and death”, “Night fun”.
In 2001, the theater studio of Irina Feofanova was opened. The creative platform was created by the actress with the aim of transferring stage experience to the younger generation. It is worth noting that Irina remains the head and main teacher of the theater studio to this day.
Personal life
Irina Feofanova married at the age of 23, barely having time to graduate from high school. The first and probably the only love of her life for her was a young Moscow businessman. The latter offered the actress a hand and a heart a few days after meeting. However, happiness did not last long for the couple. Young people met throughout the year. The case was gradually approaching the wedding. However, just before the wedding, Irina's groom got into a terrible car accident.
The tragic death of her lover left a deep mark in the heart of Feofanova. Throughout the whole year, the talented actress refused promising offers about filming a movie. After passing some time, Irina again decided to get married. But her marriage suddenly broke up, because the actress's husband turned out to be an extremely jealous person who constantly suspected her of love affairs with partners in the shooting.
In the end, Feofanova never found happiness in relations with men. Therefore, she decided to devote her life to developing a career in the cinema, working on the theater stage and teaching acting to young artists.
