Lina Braknite: the adult life of the dolls of the heir Tutti

Films with the participation of the actors of the former Soviet Republics are still shown on our screens. But there is not much that is known about the fate of actors and actresses. Let us dwell on one of them, whose fate was lost in the distant 70's. So, Lina Braknite, a girl with the eyes of the color of cornflowers, who never became an actress, but with the ease of just three children's roles in a big movie won the hearts of millions of boys.

The first time she appeared on the screen when she turned 11 years old. It was the picture "Girl and Echo". A little later - the role of Suok in the tape "Three Fat Men" and other vivid roles. But after 17 years of age, Lina was no longer in the movies.

Childhood

Lina Braknitė saw this world in Vilnius, in a family that had nothing to do with cinema. She did not even dream about a movie that she found herself in the school where the girl was studying. After all, it was there that the assistant director unexpectedly wandered, looking for the main actress in the film based on Nagibin's story "Echo". The little girl was very slender, small and very expressive, which struck the crew. Soon it was approved for the main role - Vicki.

Played Lina Braknit is very easy, sometimes even "reshaping" the script itself. According to the book, betrayal broke the girl, and in the picture she leaves the winner. This film was watched by six million viewers, that for work from the "children's" category is very much. He was mentioned in encyclopedias of cinema and peppered with petals of praise at various film festivals.

Fame after the role of Suok

It takes only two years after the film debut of the girl, and she is already invited to another picture. Lynnite Lina, an actress who starred in films for young viewers, began to work on a role that in an instant made her famous. In her fate, Alexei Batalov's painting "Three Fat Men" was knocked. A little actress was to play the role of Suok. The adult actors later recalled how easy it was for them to work with the girl, how hard she was and hard on all the comments.

The only thing that did not work out very well for her was the voice-over of the footage, so some of the scenes in her finished film helped her to sound her older friend - Alisa Freindlich. Fame did not take long to wait, it came immediately after the tape appeared on the screen. The rain fell down letters and fans. And new roles came.

Dubravka and others ...

In the year 1967, Lina Braknite Played its main role, thanks to which it is even now recognized, despite the fact that many years have passed. It was the film "Dubravka" (directed by Radomir Wasilewski), a story about a girl who is a little bit like the others, a bit wild, but with a big and loving heart. For this work she received a prize for the best female role at the Republican Film Festival in 1967. A little later, four years later, in her acting biography there was another interesting film - "The Sea of Our Hope". She played very sincerely, was just amazingly natural in front of the camera's eye, the girl was able to brightly embody the necessary image.

Life after the movie

After receiving the school certificate Lina Braknit, whose biography is not as well known as that of other actresses, she arrives in Moscow to enroll in VGIK. After the failure, she returns home, to Vilnius, and receives a higher education, becoming a "historian." The girl always felt a genuine interest in ancient history, and the acting, so unexpectedly bursting into her life, only distracted from her favorite occupation.

Over two decades she worked in the department of rarities of the library of the Institute of History. She remembers her work in films very rarely, she practically does not communicate with representatives of the mass media, and in rare interviews about life on the set, Lina says little and reluctantly.

Today's Lina Braknite

In Vilnius, together with his family lives now Lina Braknite. Her personal life was very successful: she married a famous photographer in Lithuania and publisher Raimondas Paknis. She often recalls with a warm smile that her future husband had many rivals who lay claim to her heart, but Raimondas avoided everyone. Together they are almost forty years old. Since childhood Lina loved hiking, therefore, becoming a married lady, she tried to recreate this atmosphere, traveling with her family. First, with her husband, and later, when they had a daughter Vika, they drove three of them already. The daughter has already managed to learn in England, to marry and give to her parents the grandson with whom they spend each summer in their country house.

Lina sincerely surprised that even now she is recognized by the role played by Dubravka, once played in her childhood. A woman tries to keep herself in shape and take care of her face with the help of expensive creams. She never follows a diet, only after Christmas can arrange a few days off. I'm sure that her youthfulness is from her mother, who, even on her deathbed (this happened when her mother was far beyond 80), looked pretty attractive.

She does not regret at all that she did not become an actress. After all, the girl was embarrassed because of her height - she was small and thin. It annoys only that after the shooting of "Three Fat Men" she was not allowed to take as a souvenir at least a bow of Suok.

She still sews and knits, as in her youth. And I am grateful to Alexey Batalov for the school of life that was held on the set of tales of fat people.
