Acting genes

Lena already knew exactly where she would go, although her mother did not particularly welcome the decision to become an actress. Mother wished her daughter a different fate, she wanted her to follow in her footsteps and learn the profession of translator.
The girl even studied in a special school, where she studied several languages and made progress in this field, but one cannot deceive fate. A drama group worked in the school of foreign languages, in which Elena Romanova joined. She brilliantly played several roles, and the plays were staged in foreign languages. Feeling herself a real actress, the girl could no longer give up her dream. Moreover, her father explained to her that in her Romanov family, Elena is the heiress of the countess actress, who devoted her life to the theater. Here are the grandmother’s genes and appeared in the girl.
Admission to college and work
Having tried her hand at several Moscow theater universities, Elena was convinced that she really had talent - she was accepted everywhere. The girl could choose which institute to go to study. Her choice fell on the Shchukin school, which she successfully graduated and began to work by profession.
Elena Romanova, an actress of the Moscow theater of satire, at one time received the main role in the play "Mad Money", which was directed by Andrei Mironov. Many famous artists claimed this role, but even the director’s wife was refused. Helen's talent put an end to the distribution of roles.
A family

While studying at the institute, the girl met an American publisher who fell madly in love with a beautiful young actress. He took care of her for a long time, called her to marry, but, alas, their life did not work out. Due to circumstances, an American friend had to leave Russia. He constantly wrote and called the girl, but love at a distance could not stand the test, especially since a new friend appeared in Elena's life.
The then famous artist Igor Kostolevsky immediately won the heart of Lena. He himself fell in love, beautifully courted, made an offer, which Lena accepted without hesitation. The artists created a strong family. In marriage, the son Alex was born.

These are films such as “Vacation at one’s own expense”, “Women with luck”, “Capercaillie”, “Square”, “Time is money”, “Moscow Saga” and many others.
Life after a divorce
The marriage of the actors lasted about 20 years. Then life turned everything in its own way. Igor met another woman and went to her, having filed a divorce from Elena Romanova. His new chosen one was the French actress Consuelo de Aviland. For six months, the woman came to herself after the betrayal of her husband, but still she pulled herself together and completely went into work.
Elena began to play the main roles in the theater, to act in films again. The talent of the artist allowed her to shine on the stage again and again, despite the fact that her heart was wounded. New roles in series, feature films, and performances seemed to open a second wind in the life of Elena Romanova.
