How many great actors worked in the country that was called the Soviet Union! To get the recognition of the audience, you just had to play big and small roles well. And love came, and what! Tamara Semina is one of the great actors of that generation.
Childhood and youth
Tamara Petrovna Bokhonova was born before the war, in the 38th year. Her birth took place under the sign of Scorpio. Such people with dignity meet all the difficulties in their path. These are bright individuals who are constantly engaged in self-improvement, and life will subsequently confirm this. They accumulate spiritual powers, and then take off.
But having been evacuated at the age of four, little Toma didn't know that. They were evacuated from Lgov with their mother, and later moved to their grandparents in Bryansk. Her father died at the front, and Tamara was adopted by her mother's husband, who became her real father. In gratitude, the girl, when she grew up, took his last name. So there was Tamara Semina. The family moved to Kaluga, where Toma completed her eight-year school. Then she began to study and work in the library of the school of working youth, where Bulat Okudzhava was a teacher of literature.
Moscow
From Kaluga to Moscow is now not far,only three hours by bus or train, but after the war the trip took twice as long, and therefore Tamara Semina did not know the capital at all. She came to her to become an actress.
And a miracle happened. The trolleybus she boarded brought her straight to the Institute of Cinematography. The documents were no longer accepted, but she spoke with the dean (here is the persistence of Scorpio), and she was allowed to pass the exams. The act itself was not without incidents. She was asked to sing, and Tamara Semina refused to accompaniment - he interferes with her. And stands, does not sing.
- Why don't you eat? they ask her.
- And you are still not listening, but talking.
- Okay, - the teachers continue, - read the poem.
- I won't, it's bad.
And all this she said quite seriously in a thin little voice. It caused sincere laughter from all the teachers. She was accepted, she passed all the tours, and in the 56th year she became a student.
Study
But already in the first year, the girl is invited to shoot in two films. On the second - young Marlen Khutsiev shoots her in the film "Two Fedor". And even during her studies, she had a rare luck - in 1959, Mikhail Schweitzer filmed her as Katyusha Maslova in the film "Resurrection" based on the novel by L. N. Tolstoy.
The dramatic role revealed her bright abilities and ability to expressively convey, working in close-ups, the tragic experiences of Katyusha. She showed herself as a real actress of the classical Russian acting school. In 1961In 2008, she became the best artist of the year according to a poll of readers of the Soviet Screen magazine. And then came the international recognition of both the film and the work of Semina, which became a diploma and received an “excellent” rating. So with brilliance, the student graduated in 1961 and began working at the Theater-Studio of the film actor.
Working in movies
Offers to shoot came one after another. The roles were varied, revealing all the facets of the artist's talent: humor, drama, lyricism. The costume film "Fortress Actress" allowed Semina to "sing".
Of course, it was not she who really sang, the opera singer Tamara Milashkina. By 1965, she had appeared in 10 films. The seventies brought her 14 new roles. Particularly popular was the work in the television film "Eternal Call".
The audience also fell in love with the Tavern on Pyatnitskaya. During the filming of the film "Mother of Man" it took all autumn and winter to pass in light dresses, barefoot in frost and snow. This will affect your he alth in the future. In this regard, Tamara Semina, children and the joy of motherhood will be incompatible. In the eighties, a busy creative life continued not so effectively - but there were 15 new successful appearances on the screen. The most beloved was the role of a teacher in the comedy "Lonely is given a hostel." The grotesque, which the actress flashed, turned out to be to the heart of both herself and the audience. And if there was not enough work, then it was replaced by tours around the country. When it seemed that in the 90s they stopped making films, the worksnot diminished - 23 films. For fifteen years from 1999 to 2015, there are still thirty-four works in the cinema, of course, along with dubbing.
Life outside the cinema
Family life took shape when, in her second year, Tamara Semina married her classmate. Vladimir Prokofiev, who possessed an undeniable talent, turned out to be in demand only in dubbing, which he had been doing for more than thirty years. But in the 80s he had a stroke, and Semina devoted a lot of time, almost leaving the cinema, to caring for her husband. If it weren’t for this misfortune, then we can say that Tamara Semina, whose personal life developed well, is a completely happy person. But the grief that there are no children, and the long, almost seventeen-year illness of the spouse, who died in 2005, do not allow such a conclusion to be drawn. There is a Russian proverb "in every house for whom." Unfortunately, everyone's favorite actress is no exception.
Friends and hobbies
In her youth, her friends were famous people throughout the country - Nikolai Kryuchkov, Boris Andreev, Vsevolod Sanaev, Mark Bernes. Now a warm friendship is maintained with those who are nearby, with neighbors or people from the non-theatrical circle. Tamara Semina (photo) looks like this now.
Life has changed her, but also made her interesting not only externally, but also internally. She became a very mature and dignified person. However, even without this photo, everyone has seen her in recent years in television commercials. The artist is a music lover, she loves to listen to F. Chaliapin, V. Agafonov, E. Kamburova.
Concluding a short story about life andcreative path of the actress, it must be added that Tamara Syomina, whose biography is filled with the creation of spiritual values, is appreciated by the government. She was first Honored, then People's Artist, and in the 90th year she was awarded a high award - the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.
