This woman to this day remains one of the most successful and beautiful actresses of domestic cinema. It was she who dictated the fashion for stylish classics. Her heroines were imitated, adopting the manner of speaking and carelessly spreading hair over her shoulders. Artistry and aristocracy, beautiful appearance and elegant plasticity of Irina Alferova have been winning the hearts of the audience for many years.
Beauty story
Future celebrity Alferova Irina was born in a family of war veterans. Father Ivan Kuzmich and mother Ksenia Arkhipovna experienced all the hardships of the war, survived the hungry years, the bombing and cruelty of the enemy. Returning home to Novosibirsk with victory, the former military received a law degree and got a job as lawyers.
March 13, 1951 a significant event took place in the family - a daughter was born, who was named Irina. From an early age, parents instilled in their child a love of art. At school, the girl was a diligent student and studied well, but the main place in her young life began to occupy the game in the amateur theater of the Novosibirsk Academic Town.
Already in school years, a noticeable appearance brought Ira numerous courtship of boys and envious glances of girlfriends. But this did not prevent her from being very modest and well-mannered, which Irina Alferova remains today. The biography of the actress repeatedly proves that, despite the incredible beauty, she was never distinguished by arrogance and arrogance.
Leaving home
After graduating from secondary school, Irina leaves her home and is sent to continue her education in alluring Moscow.
To enter the A.V. State Theater Institute Lunacharsky did not have a lot of work for her. The study itself required much more effort. Alferova Irina almost was expelled for professional unsuitability in her first year at the institute. It was sometimes very difficult for a young student to play on stage what she had not experienced in her life.
However, life soon corrected these errors. And if earlier it was problematic for Ira to play love, then, having truly fallen in love, the girl revealed herself.
First love
A brilliant handsome man, a cheerful and charming student at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, the son of the Bulgarian Ambassador, Boyko Gurov became the chosen one of the future actress. He enjoyed great success with the girls, but his heart was conquered by the blue-eyed Alferova Irina. Good upbringing, beautiful courtship - and the young actress could not remain indifferent to the charming Bulgarian. The wedding of the young was magnificent, Irina had a dazzlingly beautiful and insanely chic dress. The celebration took place in the embassy mansion, and at that time it was an unprecedented luxury. The young couple was constantly in the company of distinguished guests who did not cease to shower compliments on the beautiful bride.
After some time, the couple got a daughter. By mutual agreement, it was decided to call her Xenia. However, the happiness of lovers did not last long. Family life in constant feuds soon turned into a nightmare. Without thinking twice, Irina takes her daughter and leaves her husband.
Work at Lenkom
In 1976, a young actress Irina Alferova appeared at the Lenin Komsomol Moscow State Theater. The girl’s biography is now changing towards creativity, which she had to give up for a while. For a long time, this place of work will become for Alferova truly native, and not only because she played many roles on his stage.
The theater and the first performance in it “The Star and Death of Joaquin Murieta” became fateful for the young actress. Here, during a rehearsal, she first saw Alexander Abdulov, her future spouse. His energy, reliability, impulse just fell in love with Irina in the actor. From this moment, their romance begins to develop rapidly. Irina Alferova and Abdulov became one of the most beloved acting pairs for Soviet viewers.
The actress participated in the following productions of Lenkom: “Sergeant, my first shot”, “Did not appear on the lists”, “Pocket Theater”, “Dear Pamella”, “House with a Bell”, “Revolutionary Etude”, “Romulus the Great” and others.
First movie role
The filmography of Irina Alferova dates back to 1972, when after graduation, the aspiring actress had a question about choosing a theater troupe. And at that moment, Alferova was offered the role of Dasha in the epic "Walking through the agony". However, she had to give up simultaneous work in the theater.
Five years there was work on the film, but after its release the cast, including the performer of the role of Dasha, became known throughout the vast country. Photos of Irina Alferova began to scatter fans with great speed. This role of the actress, according to critics and viewers, is one of the most visible and vibrant.
In the rays of glory
Undoubtedly, Alferov received universal love after playing the role of Constance in the musical adventure movie “D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers”. The image of a playful, disinterested and dexterous young girl with an insanely beautiful appearance and a sonorous voice conquered millions of viewers. The actress became a kind of discovery, a combination of external and internal beauty and harmony of a person.
In the future, the filmography of Irina Alferova only expands. In 1979, she and her husband Alexander Abdulov worked on the set of the film "Do not part with your loved ones," in 1982 they are the main characters in the film "A Premonition of Love." The following are the roles in the legend “Vasily Buslaev”, the detective “TASS is authorized to declare”, the comedy melodrama “Night Fun”.
In the shadow of a spouse
The marriage with the brilliant Alexander Abdulov made Irina the happiest woman in the universe. Neither the envy of the ill-wishers, nor the whispering of colleagues, nor the absence of their own housing could disconnect two loving hearts.
However, with the work of the actors, not everything was perfect. If Alexander, as before, was mainly offered the main roles, then Irina was more episodic. Even the popularity of the actress in the movie did not help change the situation, and Alferova still remained in the shadow of her husband.
Incomplete talent
“An Uninvited Friend”, “Courage”, “Two knew the Password”, “Bagration” and many other films. Irina Alferova in each of them plays heroines who are distinguished by their femininity, sincerity, elegance, intelligence and beauty. But, despite all her virtues and talent, film critics have always been rather callous to the work of the actress. Perhaps they thought that she was still not fully disclosed, or maybe she just didn’t quite work with the directors.
Work in the 90s and in our time
Like many actors of that time, in the nineties Alferova Irina began to act in films less. “Night Fun”, “Upper Class”, “Blood for Blood”, “Sheriff's Star” - this is almost the entire list of paintings in which she took part. Perhaps her only bright work was the role of Alena in the Russian-German film Ermak in 1996.
In the 2000s, Irina appeared more in the movies: she played the role of Olga Sapieha in the film “Paradise Lost”, Sophia in the film “Sin”, as well as the roles in the television series “Sonya Golden Handle”, “Hero of Our Time” and “ Trap".
In 2011, the actress perfectly played Yulia Snegireva in the movie “Fir-trees-2”, which she liked, and in 2012, in the movie “Scam” she brilliantly performed the role of Vera.
In 2013, actress Alferova Irina works on the set together with the French actor
Gerard Depardieu to create the picture "Rasputin".
Despite all the vicissitudes in creative activity, in 1992 she became the Honored Artist of Russia, and in 2007 she was awarded the title of People's Artist of Russia.
Happy family life
Today Alferova is actively involved in the productions of the School of the Modern Play theater, she also works in Lenkom and sometimes plays in the entreprise at the Moscow Theater.
In family life, too, everything worked out. After breaking up with Alexander Abdulov, while working on the set of the movie “Star Sheriff”, Alferova met with actor Sergei Martynov. Persistently caring for the beautiful actress, he soon achieved her hand and heart. The marriage of the actors contributed to the appearance of three children in their family. Due to the death of Martynov's ex-wife, son Sergei and daughter Anastasia moved to live with their father. And after the sister of Alferova died, they also took Alexander’s nephew to their house.
Irina always speaks with gratitude of all her husbands, because the first gave her daughter Ksenia, the second - a beautiful and unrestrained love, and the latter - a stable life, a reliable and friendly family, which she previously lacked.
