Vladimir Zeldin
One of the two global actors who celebrated the 100th anniversary, continuing to work on the scene. Whoever knew that in childhood, Vladimir Mikhailovich did not even think about acting - the father of Zelddine wanted the Son to go to his footsteps and became a musician. Zeldin up to 98 years old was filmed in the cinema, and he met his 101st birthday on the stage of the theater, playing a major role in the play dedicated to him "Dancing with the Master." Unfortunately, in the same year it did not. For his prolonged life, he played more than a hundred films and productions, forever entered the list of the best Russian actors. Vladimir Mikhailovich was a good and open person who led a healthy lifestyle - in 2013 he became the most elderly torch in the history of the Olympic Games.

Faina Ranevskaya
Faina Georgievna grew up in a secured family - from early childhood he was engaged in music, singing and dancing. In adolescence, she became interested in acting skills and began to go to a circle in his native Taganrog. A little later, when she moved to Moscow and met the best poets of the 20th century, Ranevskaya realized that the theater was her fate. By the way, Ranevskaya - Pseudonym Faini Georgievna, taken from the Chekhov heroine "Cherry Garden". The actress jealously belonged to his own roles, then the matter argues with directors about the vision of her heroin. In the cinema did not love to play, considering it by an ungivory business. For his life, Ranevskaya gave a lot of interviews that were remembered by sparkling statements that still quote young people.

Vladimir Etush
This year, another wonderful actor - Vladimir Abramovich Etheysh. He from an early age showed interest in the theater: even at school he was read by heart, Chekhov's stories and engaged in artistic self-identity. After the release, I decided to enroll in Gitis to the Director of the Faculty, but did not pass the competition. However, fate was favorable to him - the main director of the theater. Vakhtangov decided to help the young man and silenced a word for him in "Pike", thinking that he was meeting his niece. Apparently, the misunderstanding was the message of fate - in the following years and before the death of Etush played in the theater and cinema, working out his roles for a hundred percent.

Lyudmila Gurchenko
Like many famous actors, talent to the game manifested itself in Lyudmila Markovna early. She found the war - to survive in the occupied Kharkov accounted for in any way: 6-year-old Luda danced to the German military and sang their repertoire to get some food for himself and mother. At the end of the war, Gurchenko graduated from school and moved to Moscow, where he acted and graduated from VGIK. While still a student, she played in the "carnival night" and forever became the hostage of one role. They said that Lyudmila Markovna always worked from the first dubl, because he was responsible and hardworking. Even the period of oblivion, she survived steadfastly, taking later: "I survived a lot of cruelty. The cruelty is that in my best period, when a man flourishing, women, when there is health, and ... not to remove ten years! Should something be scary after that? Nothing!" However, she was not sitting on the spot - played in the theater, worked on the acting "Halturh" and performed with concerts. The second wave of success came later - the change of government of the country revived forbidden interest in actress, and Lyudmila Markovna rose again to the pedestal.
