Faina Ranevskaya is a true legend of Soviet theater and cinema. She was not only a talented actress, but also a truly wise woman, leaving behind several dozen witty and very instructive quotes.
The life and work of the actress
Faina Ranevskaya (real name - Fanny Girshevna Feldman) was born on August 27, 1896 in a wealthy Jewish family. The Ranevskys lived in Taganrog and raised five children. Faina turned out to be in fact the only child who did not share the professional views of her parents, and in 1915 she left for Moscow to comprehend acting. Without entering the school, she attended various private courses for a long time, until one day she appeared on the stage of the Malakhovsky Summer Theater, where Ranevskaya's career began to take shape.
In 1934, Faina starred in a movie for the first time. It was the role of Madame Loiseau in the film "Donut". Then came the tapes "Man in a Case" and "Foundling". Her catchphrase from the last "Mulya, don't make me nervous!" went to the people, and the actress has overgrown with many fans throughout the USSR. In the postwar years, she played key roles in the films Cinderella, Spring, Wedding and others.
Faina Ranevskaya remained devoted to the theater and appeared on the stage almost until her last days. The actress led a lonely, reclusive lifestyle, trying to avoid men and unnecessary attention. Despite this, she was distinguished by excellent wit and amusingly, and sometimes rude and vulgar, spoke on one topic or another. Perhaps it was the power of mind and self-confidence that helped the actress live a long life: she died in 1984 at the age of 87, but the contribution of this woman to art is still invaluable, and the quotes are more relevant than ever.
