Nina Doroshina is a legend of Soviet cinema. Her theater colleagues said that she was capable of playing even a telephone book. On stage, she was so convincing that sometimes it was difficult to understand whether the actress is really bad, or whether it is so deeply embedded in the role and so skillfully plays it back. For a long time she shared her professionalism with young actors - taught at the theater institute. And today, when she is no longer alive, the glory of the great artist does not fade.
Early years of the actress
Nina Doroshina was born in the Moscow region in a small town called Losinoostrovsk on December 3, 1934. Father Mikhail worked as a fur appraiser at the Rostokinsky fur factory. Mother Anna was engaged in household chores. They lived in a small one room very modestly.
In 1941 my father was sent on a business trip to Iran. It was a good thing that he went there not alone, but took the whole family with him. Initially it was planned that the trip would last a couple of months, but the war changed everything. Nina and her parents had to stay there until 1946. This saved the child from the horrors of hard military life.
Having lived in Iran until the age of 12, she became attached to the eastern culture, learned the language, easily communicated with the local population. After returning to the Soviet Union, she studied in a gymnasium. She got acquainted with the theater as a child. And immediately fell in love with it. At first, Nina attended the drama club, where she mostly played male roles (the educational institution was female). Later she began to study in a more professional studio at the club of railroaders. Her talent did not go unnoticed. Maria Lvovskaya, teacher and head of the Chamber Theater, convinced young Nina that the girl has a great future. And Doroshina decided to become an actress.
After school, she entered the theater school named after Boris Shchukin. There she developed, perfected her talent, comprehended all the secrets of theater art.
Great actress of the great stage
Theater from the first day of work completely captured Nina. She did not just play a character, she lived his life. Such sincerity and dedication is few where you can meet. Her charisma allowed to perform dramatic roles so that the hall just sobbed with her. Participation in comedy productions was accompanied by bursts of laughter. Her appearance on stage was always memorable.
Nina Doroshina played only in the "Sovremennik". There she got a job after college, there were her main roles. On this stage, she spent hundreds of hours of rehearsals and performances. And she remained faithful to it for many years. This theater became for her a kind of harbor, a haven where she could open her heart and soul. She is so imbued with love for "Sovremennik" that since1981 she taught there a course of acting.
She performed different roles. And no matter what character she was entrusted with - a Shakespearean lady or a simpleton from a working family - she was able to play it at the highest level. Nina Doroshina - an artist for whom people came to the theater. And sometimes it was not even important what kind of performance there. After all, everyone knew one thing: if it involves Nina, it will be excellent.
Movie career actress
Being a student, Nina appeared on the screen in the movie "Son" in the image of a salesgirl. This role was so insignificant that it was even forgotten to indicate it in the credits. Not a good start to a career. But this did not affect the desire of the artist to conquer the film industry. In the same year (1955), she starred in the movie "First Echelon", and here she has already been noticed. Bright, charismatic, she was remembered by the audience.
In the next 15 years in the life of Doroshina was a lot of filming. Surprisingly, the fact that she quite rarely got the main role. Even as a minor character, she managed to show herself so brightly that sometimes overshadowed the main performers. She was just crazy energy. This was noted by colleagues on the theater stage, partners on the set, the audience in the hall, the audience in front of the screens.
In the early 70's actress began to appear less often in films, as all the time taken away from the theater. And when her name rattled on the stage, moviegoers eagerly awaited the return of their idol. And she came back.
Provincial, soulful, sincere Nadya from the comedy "Love and Doves" adored by millions. This image is immortalized in the biography of Nina Mikhailovna as the best role. And she really was such! The actress showed the full breadth of nature, revealed all her talents, accurately portrayed the Russian female soul. Nadia made us laugh and cry. Such a colorful character has not yet been in the Soviet cinema. The actress became a nationwide favorite. Although this was not her last role, the artist is always associated with this masterpiece image.
Throughout her career, Nina Doroshina was awarded the highest titles: Honored Artist of the RSFSR, People's Artist of the RSFSR. She was awarded the Order of Honor and the Order of Friendship for services in the development of culture, fruitful long-term activity, great contribution to the theatrical art.
Personal life
Open to communication, Nina Doroshina never revealed to journalists the secrets of her personal life. It is known that the first husband was Oleg Dal, born in 1941 (he is 7 years younger). After a stormy affair, they played a wedding, but the marriage lasted only a couple of months.
It is said that the heart of Nina Mikhailovna always belonged to one man - Oleg Efremov. She tried many times to keep him, the couple periodically came together, then they broke up again. It was an agonizing relationship without a logical conclusion.
The second time Doroshina married Vladimir Tishkov. With him they lived until the death of his spouse (2004). They had a warm relationship, full of harmony and tranquility. Her loving husband spared her from household problems and obligations, allowing her to give herself fully to her profession.
Nina Mikhailovna had no children. Perhaps that is why she so sincerely loved her students and took care of them.
The actress died of a stroke at the age of 84.
