Biography of Andrei Mironov: a talent story

March 7, 1941 in the Moscow maternity hospital Grauerman was born future actor of the Soviet and post-Soviet period, People's Artist of Russia Andrei Mironov, whose biography immediately promised to be difficult. Parents, Alexander Menaker and Maria Mironova, were famous entertainers. Since Andryusha appeared on the eve of the International Women's Day, they moved the child's birth time several hours in advance and announced the little Andrei Menaker as a gift to all women of the world by March 8. Of course, this was done in a narrow circle of friends, but the joke was a resounding success.

But soon the war began, and so the biography of Andrei Mironov received the first page, a tragic one. The Moscow miniature theater, in which Mironova and Menaker worked, was evacuated to Tashkent together with the whole cast. After the war the family returned to Moscow, and Andrew entered the first class. The boy studied well, although sometimes he missed lessons for the sake of seeing a new film in a cinema near the school. When Andrew moved into the third grade, clouds hung over his family. The so-called case of doctors about the wrecking activity of doctors in Moscow hospitals was opened in the country. Biography of Andrei Mironov Contains information about the events of that period. Although no one in the family of Alexander Menaker had any relationship to medicine, he had to fear persecution, since the actions of the prosecutor's office had a clear anti-Semitic orientation. Under pressure of circumstances Andrei Menaker changed his name and became Andrei Mironov.

The first acquaintance of Andrey with the cinema art took place in 1952, when the film "Sadko" was shot in Moscow and the director A. Ptushko began to recruit young men for episodic roles. Andrei Mironov was also invited. He had to play the role of a beggar boy. However, he disdained torn and dirty clothes, which he had to put on himself, and he was immediately dismissed. The debut in the movie did not take place, but Andrew enthusiastically took part in staging performances of the school theater studio, organized by the teacher Nadezhda Panfilova.

After school, Andrei Mironov entered the Shchukin School of Theater Arts , while no one knew what kind of family he was from. Thus, almost incognito, Andrei was accepted for the first year and began teaching under the guidance of the famous director Joseph Rapoport. The biography of Andrei Mironov was continued. According to the recollections of fellow students, he was an studious student, did not miss classes and dreamed of a red diploma. For the sake of academic achievement, he did not even think about filming, unlike his comrades, who used every opportunity to participate in the crowd. And only in the fourth year, Andrew starred in the movie "And if this is love?". Thus, the biography of actor Andrei Mironov in his student years included only one page devoted to filmmaking.

After graduating from college, he entered the Moscow Theater of Satire, which became his native for many years. In the future, Andrew successfully combined work with filming in the movies. Films about the youth "My younger brother", "Three plus two" enjoyed constant success with the public. And in 1966 Mironov played the role of a crooked Dima in the film "Beware of the car" staged by Eldar Ryazanov. But the most popular movie masterpiece was the painting "The Diamond Arm", in which he played the classic scoundrel Kozodoev, charming and close. However, in general, Andrei Mironov's biography developed in such a way that his main roles were in the theater of Satire. They made up his whole life, bright and, unfortunately, short-lived. The actor died suddenly in 1987 at the theater in Riga, in the middle of the mise-en-scene in the play "Mad Day, or The Marriage of Figaro."
