In the biography of actress Leah Akhedzhakova there were many dark and light stripes. Childhood of Akhedzhakova passed in times of famine and devastation. The Second World War passed through the earth. In the family of the future actress, from time to time, there was no point in buying even a piece of bread. However, Leah's parents never lost heart. They understood that people need theater, because even in the aftermath of the war, everyone needs something clean and bright. Parents of Akhedzhakova gave people a fairy tale. They did everything to ensure that the audience received the maximum positive charge and went home happy and joyful. Biography of the actress's mother is rather sad. The fact is that Julia Akhedzhakova has always been too selfless. Once, while still young, she helped her theater distribute tickets. It was hot outside, so she ran home, poured herself a bucket of icy water and ran on. All this led to the first inflammation of the lungs. But the actress's mother was not going to go to the hospital. The theater for her was the most important and important in the world. Therefore, she healed the disease, which flowed into the second inflammation of the lungs, and then into tuberculosis. Leah always admired her mother. Perhaps, her biography to some extent was formed precisely because Julia Akhedzhakova has always been an example for her daughter. She remembered how her mother played on stage, and then coughing up blood behind the scenes. She understood that performances in unheated clubs only aggravated the state, but still never left the stage. When Leah's grandmother died, her mother had to play, because she simply could not cancel the performance. Leah was also on stage when her own mother died.
Liya Akhedzhakova has always been a smart and talented girl. At school she showed the best results and finished training with a gold medal, which was very proud of her parents. When Akhedzhakova came to Moscow for the first time, she was not going to become an actress. Yes, of course, she liked her mother's work. But, nevertheless, Leah wanted to become a journalist and enter the Moscow State University. However, this was not meant to come true. Clever and talented girl, coming to the interview, was suddenly frightened and lost control over herself. She could not even clearly name her own name, let alone properly answer all questions and take the entrance exams. After such a failure in the Moscow State University, Leah decided to enter the Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals. She succeeded and the future actress studied there for a year and a half. Learning was easy for Leah, but she knew that she was not interested. But the girl was extremely interested in doing in a circle of amateur art. It was there that Akhedzhakova felt at ease. She sang, danced and played. However, the girl could not be engaged only in amateur performance, and study irritated her more and more. Therefore, Leah abandoned everything and returned to her native city. But there she did not stay long. After thinking and analyzing everything, Akhedzhakova again went to Moscow, but now her goal was GITIS. In this educational institution Leah entered the first time and finished it in 1962. In the last year she already played in the Theater for Young Spectators.
The girl really wanted to play the role of princesses and other beautiful characters, but her appearance had to be travesty. Of course, Leah was not particularly pleased, but she did not give up the roles, realizing that they were becoming a ticket to her acting career and life. In addition, Liya really fell in love with some of the roles. Such, for example, as a donkey Eeyore from the production of Winnie the Pooh and his friends.
Since 1977, the actress began to work in the theater "Contemporary". It was thanks to this theater that her fate changed completely as a theater actress. Although, at first Leah did not allow to play serious female roles, then Roman Viktyuk appeared in the theater, who, seeing Leah, understood who she should play. Viktyuk put "Kolombin" specially for her and Akhedzhakova was able to uncover absolutely all her talents and skills. She really was a great actress, who could play any role, both female and male. She performed roles in plays by Shakespeare, Tennessee and other famous playwrights. Many of her roles were noted by critics as very successful, bright and truthful. Leah is very dedicated to the theater. For her, as for her mother, the scene always comes first. This small and fragile woman plays her roles, completely dissolving into them, giving herself away without a trace. She knows how to be fun, easy and funny. Despite age, in Akhedzhakova there is exactly that courage, which is so lacking in many modern young actors and actresses.
Of course, Leah we know not only as a theatrical actress, but also as a star of cinema. She began filming in 1973, and finally the audience fell in love with her after seeing the New Year comedy "The Irony of Fate or With Easy Couple!" "Everyone has always been struck by the ability of Akhedzhakova to combine grotesque and tragicomedy, to be both sweet, funny, quivering and real. In addition, all the friends of the actress say that she surprisingly combines openness and insecurity with a strong-willed character, the ability to fight and resist all sorrows and adversities.
Akhedzhakova played in a huge number of films that we all know and love. Now she keeps filming. As for his personal life, Leah's first husband was Valery Nosik, who died in 1995. After that, Leah was alone for several years, then she married the photographer Persiyaninov. Now she is happy and in demand, and this is for the actress the most important.
