The first roles in the cinema of famous Soviet actors. Part 1. Gurchenko, Vysotsky, Tikhonov

Where did the famous movie actors start, with what roles? Far from all the glory came after the first role. In most cases, the directors invited then unknown young actors to tiny episodes, often even without words. In the first part of the section "The first roles in the cinema of famous Soviet actors" let's find out from which roles Vladimir Vysotsky, Lyudmila Gurchenko, Vyacheslav Tikhonov


Many believe that the first role in the movie Lyudmila Markovna Gurchenko - Lenochka Krylov in Ryazan's "Carnival Night."



This is not quite true. Krylov - the first major role of Gurchenko, the role that made her famous throughout the country. But not the first in her career. The debut of a young actress (or rather, a student of VGIK) in the movie took place in the film Ian Fried "The Road of Truth." Lyusya's girlfriend with the phrase "I did not come here to keep silent!" - that's where Lyudmila Markovna started





Student same (only the school-studio MKhATa) played the first role in the movies and Vladimir Semenovich Vysotsky. It was a student of the theatrical school Petya, who appeared on the screen only seconds on 15 in the melodrama of Vasily Ordynsky's "Swallow".



After that there were a few more episodic roles. From what movie did Vysotsky become recognized as a movie actor?
Perhaps after the role of radio operator Volodya in "Vertical" Stanislav Govorukhin.



Or the tankman Volodya in the film of Viktor Turov "I come from childhood"





Another actor, who began his film career as a student - Vyacheslav Vasilyevich Tikhonov. He was in the third year of VGIK, when Sergei Gerasimov invited him to the role of Volodya Osmukhin in the "Young Guard"



In general, this film is a special conversation. He became a voyage to a whole galaxy of young talented actors, whom we now call "The Stars of Soviet Cinema." As for Tikhonov, after the role of the young guard he played many magnificent roles. A recognizable was, probably, after the role of tractor driver Matvei in the melodrama of Stanislav Rostotsky "It was in Penkovo" (correct, if I'm not right)
