Stunning Unfaithful
Date of birth of Catherine - August 15, 1945. Biography of this woman began in the year when the war was over. Vasilieva's father was the famous Russian poet Sergei Vasiliev. The family of Catherine was educated, therefore, from the very childhood she was instilled with a love of art. As the biography of the actress marks, she dreamed that she would play in the theater from an early age. After graduation, Katya decided to go to VGIK. She was able to pass exams successfully, and in 1962 she was enrolled in Belokurov's workshop. What was Catherine then? She was amazing. Her classmate Sergei Solovyov told me that this girl always felt real freedom. She never tried to prove anything to anyone. I just went into the room, and people felt it. Her image - tall, red, with stilettos and a cigarette in her hands, always spoke of her inner emancipation. By the way, no one considered Katya beautiful, teachers even whispered that she was outwardly worse than Ranevskaya. But, nevertheless, Catherine liked men. For example, she really liked Solovyov. The director said that he never called her pretty, pretty or glorious. In it was another, special, beauty. That beauty that does not lend itself to any description, but makes the men's hearts tremble and think about it. Sergei himself thought about her very often. So often that, in the end, fell in love. He became the first husband of Catherine Vasilyeva. They had a long and beautiful romance that ended with a wedding. And although, in the end, the actress and director divorced, they always knew how to keep a very warm and friendly relationship.
If we talk about the first roles of Catherine, then in 1965 she starred in the movie "In the street tomorrow." This happened even when Katya studied at VGIK. And after graduation in 1967, she went to work at the Yermolova Theater. There Vasilieva happened to serve three years. In parallel, she played in films. By the way, it was then that Catherine had already begun to receive her main roles in the paintings "The Soldier and the Queen", "Adam and Eve". In these pictures, and began to open the talent of the actress. She showed herself as a grotesque performer.
Strong and romantic
In 1970, Catherine began to work in the theater Contemporary. In those same years Catherine met her second husband, Mikhail Roshchin. Both he and her family. They were introduced by common friends - Efremov and his wife. No one could even think that a guy and a girl would suddenly fall in love with each other. They met as if they were old acquaintances, spoke all evening, and then Roshchin took her to meet his wife. When Lyudmila Savchenko saw the admiring glance of her husband, she realized that family life had come to an end. And she was right. After Michael went to see off Katya, he did not return. Larissa sent her greeting card "Congratulations on Victory Day" and stepped aside. Catherine and Mikhail got married. However, this marriage did not last long either. In 1973, they had a son, Dima, and soon Roshchin and Vasilyeva divorced.
Since 1973, Catherine has played at the Moscow Art Theater. She embodied many interesting roles. In the cinema, she too was always lucky with the memorable heroines. However, she did them herself. Despite the fact that Catherine, often, received the role of the second plan, everyone knew and loved her. It's just that in Soviet cinema there was not exactly such a woman's image. And then Catherine appeared - imperious, free, self-confident. So she played the same women who can lead everything and have nothing to fear. And while in the shower to remain lyrical and romantic. It's just not many people have to consider it. So, if we talk about whether Catherine is similar to her heroines, then, undoubtedly, they have much in common. And with love, as we see, Catherine did not work out very well.
New life
However, she still managed to find herself in life. Although, at one time, many thought that they would not see Vasilyev on television. The fact is that the actress went to the monastery. She spent four years in seclusion, and then returned and we saw such wonderful TV shows with her participation, like "Countess de Monsoro" and "Queen Margot". In them, Catherine played Queen Mary of the Medici. This role again completely approached its character. After that, Catherine could be seen in the New Year comedy "Come to see me", as well as in Menshikov's film "Woe from Wit". Each of her roles after returning from the monastery Catherine explains the need to say something, show, reveal. She does not just play anymore. Now Vasilieva says that she, first of all, is not an actress at all, but the mother of a priest. The fact is that after her departure to the monastery, Dmitry's son, who studied at VGIK, has rethought much. He decided that he wanted to become not an actor, but a deacon. Of course, Catherine fully supported her son.
Ekaterina Vasilyeva has always been a free nature, which did not like the framework. She swore, smoked, drank. But, in the end, came completely to another life. Now she does not regret anything, but she is grateful to fate for opening a religion to her. In the films, Catherine is rarely removed, playing only those roles that she really likes.
