Natalia Sedykh: biography, filmography and photos

Natalia Sedykh was born in July 1948. When the girl was only four years old, she got on skates and became famous throughout the country as the youngest figure skater of the Soviet Union. Most of all, she remembered the audience in the role of Nastenka from the fairy tale "Morozko", filmed in 1964. Until now, the film and this character are loved by young spectators. Exceptional beauty, gentle voice, high artistic quality - all this Natalia Sedykh will surprise the audience for many more decades.

Ballerina

The end of the choreographic school at the Bolshoi Theater became the point of a grandiose change in the fate of a young, but already famous actress. Becoming a ballerina of the country's best theater, she began a long and thorny path in this difficult profession. At first Natalia Sedykh danced in the corps de ballet, where not every ballerina goes to the soloist.

She succeeded. Also fortunate with the Bolshoi Theater to travel the whole world, showing everywhere the transcendental level and power of a professional Russian ballet. Natalia Sedykh danced the leading parts of such ballets as "The Nutcracker", "Sleeping Beauty", "The Seagull", and many others. On one stage with Maris Liepa and Maya Plisetskaya, she did not feel timidity. On the contrary, it was full of happiness.

Selection

The greatest success in her work Natalia Sedykh believed it was "Anna Karenina" and her Kitty party, where her partners were the best dancers of the country. She loved cinema very much. But the ballet - more. And that's why she made her choice already for twenty years: she asked all film studios of the country to cancel her file, because it is unlikely that someone will be able to combine these two professions without losses in one and the other sphere.

She remained forever an integral nature, a truly strong Soviet man. Since 1990, Sedykh Natalia Evgenyevna began to play in the theater of Mark Rozovsky "At the Nikitsky Gate", after she completed her career as a ballerina, who gave her not only her cinematic fame, but even sacrificed her personal life.

Start

When Natasha was very small, she saw figure skating on TV. She liked the Czech Indra Krambelova to such an extent that the little girl seriously persuaded her parents to write her to the skaters. Mom gave in and took the four-year-old girl to the stadium. Naturally, such small children in the sports sections at that time did not take. The first was the actress Natalia Sedykh. She managed to convince the current coaching staff. The girl left her mother, ran out into the middle of the carpet and loudly announced: "The Champion of Europe! Indra Kramberova!", Then dashingly danced, even depicted the rotation. Present felt the height of the moment, despite the laughter, and the girl was taken to her by Tatiana Granatkina, a figure skating coach.

Natasha quickly became famous, because even age in this case played into the hands, but she did not make progress either. She could perfectly dance the ballet on ice all her life, but quickly the trainer, parents and the baby herself realized that in figure skating, the element of light and air dance is the main thing for her. And the data for the ballet nature she gave just gorgeous. A joint decision arose: the girl needs a classical ballet, and therefore one must prepare for entering the choreography school. But Natasha did not abandon figure skating, even after she began her studies at the Bolshoi Theater. So the ballerina Natalia Sedykh appeared.

Personal life

How to survive life's difficulties, where to find inspiration and working capacity without emotions, feelings, love? No creative person can do without all this. Natalia Sedykh admitted in an interview that she was always courted by men, but there were almost no real novels. She loved the wise people and usually communicated with the knights much older than herself. It would be strange not to have fans of her, who became the idol of the whole country already at the age of fifteen after the film "Morozko." But her character was gentle, soft, but unbending. First of all, work.

In addition, at twenty years she received a great mental trauma when her father left the family and married a young athlete. I felt sorry for my mother, who was experiencing this grief and humiliation. Ten years Natalia did not contact her father. And only when she knew a deep feeling, she began to understand that everything is not so simple with this love. In all periods of life, men worshiped this beautiful and exceptionally talented woman, gave gifts, trying to achieve reciprocity. However, only the author of music for the film "Midshipmen, forward!" Really was lucky. And then fate very oddly ordered such a gift.

The greatest love

Natalia really fell in love with the composer Viktor Lebedev, when the Bolshoi Theater toured in Leningrad. The man talked a lot about composing music for the cinema, about the peculiarities of this genre. Natalia tried to tell that she also acted a little, but Lebedev nodded and did not take this confession seriously: all the dancers occasionally earn extra money somewhere in extras. Natalia obediently closed the subject. But then the events developed quite differently. Wherever they come, wherever they appear, with Natalya all the people loudly greeted, approached for autographs. Victor was amazed. Apparently, he did not watch children's fairy tales.

They were married and were together for about ten years. The son of Natalia Sedykh - Alexei - spent the first years of his life, as they say, on wheels. He rode with his mother from Moscow to St. Petersburg - to his father and husband. And then back to Natalia for work, because they did not create a common house. The woman could not leave the Bolshoi Theater, and Victor was too fond of his city. They were very fond of each other. However, the man needed care and help. He himself could not do anything - even boil the kettle. Therefore, over the years, there was a normal woman who did not dance at the Bolshoi Theater. But the relations of the departed spouses remained very warm and positive. This also speaks for the purely human qualities of a soft, kind and beautiful ballerina, an actress and just a woman.

Alexander Rowe

Fifteen-year-old Natalia Sedykh, whose biography was pretty successful on the ice field, promised to be interesting in the acting profession. So one day, when she danced on the ice of the "Dying Swan", she was suddenly noticed in the television program by an excellent director Alexander Row and invited her to play a major role in a remarkable Russian fairy tale. Natasha agreed and instantly became a star.

It was in 1964, and in 1968 Row took another good children's film - "Fire, water and copper pipes," where Natalia Sedykh also played the main character. Filmography for several years was impressive: "Children of Don Quixote", "Girl and Life", "After the Ball", "Love for Three Oranges", "Blue Ice" ...

Hard work

And how difficult it was to divide oneself between a ballet that needed to be given all of itself, and a cinematograph, which requires more from the person! There were always scandals at the choreographic school: only "Morozko" took Natalia's ballet away for many months. And the moment came when she realized that she could not divide herself. The ballet won, despite the fact that, speaking in modern language, she won the movie castings all and always, although she never believed in her success. Even Nadezhda Rumyantseva could not outplay the role she claimed - Natalia Sedykh won.

On the set, she did not have fun with famous artists. She had with her a full suitcase of textbooks and notebooks - in the evenings she had to study for a long time. In truth, a fifteen-year-old artist was embarrassed to invite to the company, where everything is different: from anecdotes and wine to even more childish things. But the girl nevertheless all very much loved and in every way helped her on the set. And now with great pleasure Natalia Sedykh recalls these shootings.

"Frosty"

Indeed, it was a very happy time. How much future actress learned and saw a new one! Even on the Kola Peninsula visited, where the shooting of winter nature was conducted. Some episodes caused her to laugh all her life. For example, the one where she was supposed to jump into the hole in order to save her half-sister Marfush. The water was dirty and cold. Three times Natalya ran from the hillock and stopped at the edge of the ice hole. On the fourth double, Row wildly yelled at her, and she flopped into the cold spring, unexpectedly.

Everyone remembers the end of the fairy tale "Frosty", where Nastenka and her fiancé kiss. The young girl was very shy, even afraid then to cuddle with anyone whatsoever. What to say about the kiss that was her first. It is no wonder that after the accomplished Nastenka fell in love with her Ivanushka in real life and long for him missed. Because the actor himself did not know about it. Natalia Sedykh not only knew how to love. She also knew how to hide it.

Star

Even the famous actress did not change her fame. Star fever was not peculiar to her, apparently, figure skating since four years has become a good vaccination. Natalia even had enough strength, being a promising actress with a rich track record, at her own desire to finish a film career at nineteen. However, letters from grateful and admiring viewers for many years continued to come in sacks, on the streets it was instantly recognized, and fans were on duty in crowds at the entrance.

In the Bolshoi Theater, which is famous not only for its magnificent professionals, but also for its intriguingly intricate intrigues, it often lacked fighting qualities and was often in the shadows. Nevertheless, Natalia Sedykh managed to make a good career there. There were very responsible parties, stellar partners. Everything was. But the ballerin age is not long.

Return

But not because she returned to the cinema, that she called the former glory. All the years she missed the movie, of course. Even, perhaps, rolled the melancholy, as the actress admitted herself. However, until the career of the ballerina was completed, she did not leave the dance. And to combine one with another, too, did not dare. There came also the moment when the dancing activity of Natalia Evgenievna came to an end. And there was an opportunity to return.

Closer by the mid-1990s, she began acting in films again. But that step and the choice made in her youth, she still does not consider insane. Because it was a difficult, but absolutely correct, act. In 1994 Natalia Sedykh starred in the film based on Pogodin's play "Shadow-Birch", in Pendrakovsky's drama "I'm Free", and five years later in the film "Two Nabokovs", a year later - in the film "Synoptic". In the 2000s she appeared in the works of Proskurina: "The best time of the year" and "Truce." The last movie was a triumphant at Kinotavr-2010.

About dresses

Natalia Sedykh, whose photo is still absolutely recognizable, has always been beautiful, no matter how she dressed. But sometimes she looked just gorgeous. The Bolshoi Theater constantly toured around the world, so the young ballerina already from the first trip brought several suitcases of all kinds of clothes, followed by the ship delivered even more - a whole container. When she dressed up in Parisian hats and high boots-boots, ordinary Soviet people in transport were amazed. Let's note: the actress of all-Union fame and the leading ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater went in public transport. A Soviet man, even foreign clothes will not spoil.

Natalia Sedykh, films with which the whole of Russia is watching to this day, and then willingly answered the questions of tramway companions. Asked about the boots: not together with the pants they are sewn. When the actress realized that the people of the wardrobe of such a plan slightly shocked, immediately gave her shoes to the workshop, where she was shortened to the normal state for those times. Now she does not buy herself any clothes, because she has kept a lot of her in the house since the earliest times. And she, in principle, does not care what to wear. She at any age and in every dress is good.
