Age Svetlana Svetlichnaya never concealed. Was proud to be able to afford something that another woman would ever: mini-skirt, for example. The actress is not just out to the audience in a little black dress, revealing a mind-blowing legs, and said, “I’m 75, 77, 79…” the Hall burst into applause, as it happened, when Vladimir Zeldin announced he was 100 years old.
Svetlichnaya says: “I am leaving nature, but I like to vandalize, to wear shorts. Woman and at that age capable of love. When asked the question: “Who do you like in recent times the most?” — answer: “Svetlana Svetlichnaya”.
Five years ago, when she was 75 years old, she is the whole year traveled extensively, received congratulations at festivals. Birthday ran away to Penza to his brother, who also, incidentally, was born on may 15, but 1953. Even before the pandemic Svetlichnaya categorically rejected the proposal of the Guild of movie actors to hold its anniversary evening. It is a pity, because there is something to remember and something to tell. Every film related an amazing story.
a month and a half Svetlichnaya spent at home in isolation, but before jubilee went to the store for champagne and stopped to answer the phone. Took a pause.
In her life was unusual works, some of the audience do not know anything.
So, in 1969 she starred in the four-minute “the Cigarette” have Sulambek Mamilov in the role of a peddler of cigarettes in a hat with the inscription “Mosselprom”. I got this picture a year after “Brilliant hands” Gaidai, who became the most famous work of the actress.
Svetlana Svetlichnaya after showing “Cigarette” shared with “MK”:
We’ve worked with Sulambek Kamilovym and my husband Vladimir Ivashov Stanislav Rostotsky in the “Hero of our time”. Sulambek played Kazbich. There we became friends. Then he entered the Higher courses of scriptwriters and film Directors began to make movies and invited me. But the picture for many years where he had lain, no one saw her. And to my the 50th anniversary Sulambek gave it to me. Such a joy that she lived to the wings. Long ago I was not so happy.
In the film “the Girl and death” classic by the Dutch Jos Stelling Svetlichnaya played Renata Litvinova 50 years later, the once contained either a hotel or a brothel in Germany.
Jos Stelling as explained “MK” your choice:
I didn’t really know her. But Renata Litvinova shot her in his film “the Goddess: How I fell in love with” and invited her to the role of older Nina. I felt that between them some connection, and when he saw her, immediately caught her resemblance to Renata. It in their faces. They are strong women, and I like it. When a person 40 years, he fears death more than 70. My mother of 95 years so tired of life that he wanted to die, lived the lastLYM, since almost all the relatives have left this world.
Stelling, reflects on death and old age, was a little surprised when it came unusually dressed in an extravagant hat and bright makeup Russian actress. But she had to play 80-year-old heroine.
Release of Svetlana Svetlichnaya is as follows:
— I often go in the mini. I like to be original. I can instantly see the enthusiasm, nothing hurts. We need somehow to survive. The Stelling saw me, and hesitated. But I have a lot to play, simply do not offer.
after working with Stelling released a documentary painting “autumn in the oak woods” Valery Bakirov about the writer Yuri Kazakova and his widow — the Shakespeare Marina Litvinova. She shares memories about their first meeting at the funeral of Boris Pasternak. Her story is interrupted by a black-and-white shots from the film by Mikhail Kalik “to Love” in 1968, where Svetlichnaya with a mermaid look and the lion wander Round in Moscow, going nowhere in a taxi, sitting on a bench in an empty Park. Because of this forbidden censorship and mutilated paintings Kalik left the Soviet Union to Israel, where they have restored the author’s version. In 2017 it did not, and shortly before he, old and sick man, buried his wife, crying in front of a live audience in Warsaw after the screening of the film — brought back from Moscow torn censored copy.
Kalika Svetlichny made his debut in 1959 in “Lullaby” and his first fee spent for rabbit vest for mom. In the finale of the documentary film “autumn in the oak woods” appears not only in the frames of the film Kalika, but such as it is in life in the white hat, Lily of the valley. On the bench near the house where lives the widow Kazakova, she kisses her hands, bringing her to tears. “We are simple people,” says the widow, and Svetlichnaya says: “I am too simple. I’m nobody, just a man, which in itself is walking like a cat”. She represented the film at the festival “Literature and cinema” in Gatchina, got “Garnet bracelet” for devotion to the film music from “Ballads about the soldier”, where I first saw Vladimir Ivashov in the role of a Russian soldier Alyosha Skvortsov and put forth that he will be her husband. Ibid told “MK” about their famous kisses:
the First husband Vladimir Ivashov. Second — the famous Soviet boxer Valery Popenchenko. The third — Yury Gagarin. In 1965 I returned from shooting from Czechoslovakia. I met representatives of the Central Committee of the Komsomol, was taken to the restaurant of the hotel “Yunost”. There I saw Yuri Gagarin. He walked over and asked, “Can I kiss you?”
And her military paintings in which not just filmed? She was a little hurt that show their less than “the cranes are Flying”. Say, Julia Veit, she starred in 1964 in “the front in defence” on the prose of Yuri Nagibina. Her character is radio operator Katya, not USPEB love, dies. About this work, the actress said, “well, I have Katya: touching, young, in the overcoat. And not just “the diamond arm”.
We talked to Julius Veit in joint work with Svetlichny.
Why you asked for the lead role it was her?
She was a very good and popular, including among the vgikovtsy. Gennady Shpalikov really wanted she played a major role in the film according to the first scenario the Wharf. Svetlana Svetlichnaya we had like Marina Vlady.
— what makes her so special as in the actress?
the Person look. Slightly delayed reaction. It was not that fashionable, but something that is peculiar to the Actresses slightly. Why was it so popular, went down very well. We are not so often met. After “Brilliant hands” it was absolutely improper attitude, because she is a good actress and many could play. The perception of her as a frivolous woman on the screen — it is not true. Could play a major role, as it was with Marlena hutsieva “the Outpost of Ilyich”, and it helped her in life. The picture is something of a cult. The role there she has a small, but noticeable even in such luxury companies. Svetlana is not so much acted, unfortunately, as they could be. We use actors and a little one-sided. She could be a star. But, probably, so myself and feel. Lately she is quite extravagant, but it’s not for me to judge.
the Role at hutsieva “the Outpost of Ilyich” is very dear to the actress.
I’m glad a took a modest part in this picture. When Marlene Martynovich I was invited, I immediately turned for advice to his master to Mikhail Ilyich Romm, who studied at VGIK. Romm said, “hutsieva need to work on.” About our grief and goodness will be judged on such films. Once on the ground as a student, I realized that this pavilion, and the Director of the team “Action!”, “Started!”, “Stop! Cut!”. Marlen Martynovich, most likely, saw me at the Institute of Cinematography, I felt my soul. If he was invited to play at least a tacit pass, then I would run. But then I was afraid I will not get to the desired state in a scene with a litter of potatoes, you will not feel the soul of girls that roam, will not fit into the scene of Tarkovsky, Konchalovsky. The song “ducks are Flying” returned my character to the fold.
Paul Finn, the now famous writer, took part in the filming of “the Outpost of Ilyich” and now recalls what was Svetlana Svetlichnaya:
Svetlana was a simple girl when we got. She modestly behaved. But, of course, attracted the attention, because was very beautiful. She went to admire. It’s cinematography, we’re all cooked in one pot. The girls did stage the movement above in black tights, and of course we ran to see them. The sight was wonderful — marvelous shape. Svetlana stood out. We had a company — Gena Shpalikov, Marianna Vertinskaya, Val Popov. After the shoot we all piled into the WTO, drinking. I nursed Olga Gobzeva. Funny life was. Tarkovsky treated us very strictly, because we drank away the money we gave Marlene for food. And the Lights were separately, by itself, a bit like from another world. But her “ducks are Flying” was very memorable. Role in “the Outpost of Ilyich” she revealed. She’s a model demonstrates clothes and suddenly starts to sing. This was her people’s essence.
