Subsequently, Krivtsova headed the direction of the morning programs, was engaged in producing, created her own projects. Today, the presenter, beloved by many viewers, has ceded a place on the blue screen to her younger colleagues, but she is still interested in what is happening on domestic television.
Childhood, youth and the dream of the scene
Larisa Valentinovna Krivtsova was born on the first day of January 1949 in Vilnius. Her father was a soldier, so the family repeatedly moved from one city to another. Finally, the Krivtsovs settled in Yaroslavl. Here Larisa went to school and began attending a theater club. The girl was very fond of participating in the performances, and in high school she decided to enter the local theater school.
However, strict parents considered the profession of the actress frivolous and persuaded her daughter to choose a more solid profession. Under their pressure, Krivtsova became a student of the philological faculty of the Yaroslavl Pedagogical Institute, which she graduated with honors in 1974. After that, the girl entered graduate school and began to prepare for a scientific career, however, she still had a craving for art.
In order to somehow touch the beautiful, she actively attended the institute theater. On its stage, Larisa Valentinovna played Zhenya Kamelkova in the play based on the work of B. Vasiliev “And the Dawns Here Are Quiet” and the first woman of Adam in “The Divine Comedy” by Dante Alighieri.
When Krivtsova studied at graduate school, the dream of a professional scene of the unexpected became a reality for her. The director of the student theater of the Pedagogical Institute was invited to teach at the Yaroslavl Theater School. He had to stage the play, but the actress could not find the main role in any way. And then the director remembered Larisa Krivtsova, who was well acquainted with him in student theater, and invited her immediately to the third year of the acting department of the theater school. Larisa Valentinovna gladly accepted his offer, but she did not quit her postgraduate studies.
Acting career, first marriage
