Entering the theatrical school named after Slonov, she immediately attracted the attention of both teachers and classmates with her bright, unforgettable appearance and undoubted actor's talent.

Future husband - Oleg Yankovsky

It was there that young Oleg Yankovsky, who was younger than Lyudmila for a year, drew attention to her. Oleg often recalled the moment when they were awarded with a girl for an excellent study trip to the capital. Having got off the train at Paveletsky railway station, Oleg and his girlfriend sat on a bench, ate sauts (buns) and thought about the future. Then the young people were unaware that ahead of them there is glory and remarkable roles in the cinema. From that moment the biography of Lyudmila Zorina was full of unexpected events.

Activity of an actress in Saratov

In 1964, the actress, after completing her studies at the school, was immediately invited to play in the dramatic theater of the city of Saratov, to A. Vasilevsky, where her brilliant work was noted both by the spectators and the directors. By that time, relations with Oleg Yankovsky were legalized, and about him the Saratovites said: "Jankowski? This is the husband of actress Zorina. " For ten long years of acting in the walls of the cozy theater, Lyudmila played over fifty roles in various performances: "Wolves and Sheep", "Russian People", "Masquerade", "Nightingale Night", etc.

But Oleg by that time decided to try his luck in Moscow, and Lyudmila Zorina, as a faithful and loving wife, follows her husband to the capital. She helps her husband in his creative endeavors and is involved in the family. The son of Philip took center stage in the life of the married couple. Becoming an adult, he gave his parents two grandchildren: Lisa and Vanechka.

Work in the Lenkom gave success

Since 1974, Lyudmila has played roles in the Lenkom Theater, where her experience and natural gift immediately set her apart from other actors. Turning stage of fate was for her to play in the play "Autograd 21". Since that time, the actress's talent has become popular not only on the stage of the stage, but also in many feature films. She is recognized by roles in theatrical productions: "Romulus the Great", "Two Women", "Revolutionary Etude", "Theatrical Prayer" and many others. Her devotion to her work and exceptional talent make her popular in our country and abroad, and in 1999, Lyudmila Zorina, whose filmography was not so rich, was awarded the title of Honored Artist, which did not prevent her from being an excellent mother and grandmother.

In life, like in a movie

Together with her husband, Oleg Ivanovich Yankovsky, the actress starred in the film "Flying in a dream and in reality", which was loved by the audience. Filming took place in 1983 at the studio. Dovzhenko. Together with the actors in the film were shot Oleg Tabakov, Lyudmila Gurchenko, Nikita Mikhalkov, Lyudmila Ivanova.

The protagonist, engineer Sergei, is experiencing a crisis of forty years of age. Life for him is painted in gray tones, and no events can cause a stir in the soul bright and contagious emotions. Everything seems sad and dull to him: relations with his wife, bored with labor, communication with colleagues. A man commits acts that shock others. In fact, it is an attempt to find yourself and the meaning of your destiny, to start to rejoice in something and return the former daring and belief in happiness.

But these difficult moments in life just overcame Roman Balayan, who owned the idea of creating a movie. For five years Balayan, shrouded in the rays of glory after the show of the famous film "Biryuk", received one refusal after another in response to his proposals. Then, desperate, Roman decided to implement the story of a creative, sensitive, extraordinary person, engineer Makarov. Write a script he offered Victor Merezhko. And the main role proposed to play Oleg Yankovsky, after watching his exceptional game in the film "We, the undersigned ..." The wife of an eccentric engineer was played by Lyudmila Zorina, the wife of Yankovsky.

In 1987, the actress masterfully played one of the leading roles in the film "Kreutzer Sonata."

A beloved husband left his life

The death of the dearest and dearest person caught Ludmila unawares. Oleg Yankovsky was ill with a terrible and painful disease - cancer, and his family gave all his mental and physical strength to somehow support him. But death is merciless, and unexpectedly takes the lives of the best people. Oleg Ivanovich's ashes rest on Novodevichye cemetery, where residents from all over Russia constantly come and lay the actor's grave with flowers. Actress Lyudmila Zorina could hardly stand on her feet, not believing what had happened. It's hard to stay strong and carry your head high when the soul is black and empty with despair, but the widow does not give up.

The most expensive is the memory

What can remain of a person who left people who love him? Memory. And the actress in the mind gently stirs the pages of the past, where they still laugh together with her husband over the pranks of little Philip, stroll along the alleys, meet the sunrises and see off the sunsets together.

The death of Oleg Yankovsky, as well as of other famous and bright people, became a target for discussion in the country. Critics, envious persons and enemies tried to tarnish a bright memory of the actor, striving to bask in the glory of another's talk show, in the "yellow" press, in the pages of magazines, on the other's grief.

Lyudmila very painfully reacted to the lie of Mark Rudinshtein against the spouse, because during Oleg's lifetime they were good friends and often spent their free time together. She was shocked when Mark decided to represent the whole country to her husband as an old libertine and unscrupulous person. Lyudmila Zorina said that if such information is widely publicized, she is not responsible for her actions. And this desperate step somewhat calmed the evil "goodwill".

Now the actress spends most of her time with her grandchildren, who in some ways inherited the features of the exterior, and the character of the deceased spouse, and without a mind from her caring grandmother. Lyudmila understands that everything is temporary in this life, and one should cherish those moments when the whole family is together, and her family smiles. If they are happy, it means that she is happy too. And the anger and envy will remain with those people who are their authors.
