The singer's words, sometimes a desire to give herself indulgence, but she immediately drove it away. Already in the first stages of work on the stage was merciless to Xebe. It concerned everything - rehearsals, appearance, behavior.

From an ugly gosling

At first, a little-known girl looked on the stage angular, even hiding her hands behind her back. This zakompleksovannost her tormented and irritated. Overcome it was not easy. "I was constantly peering at my pictures and film shots made during the concerts, did not reject any advice," recalls the heroine. "Of course, Alexander Bronevitsky, who directed the" Friendship "ensemble, helped me along with it, although I was then my husband , but never praised, constantly and severely criticized, repeating: "You look terrible!"

In the white swan

Once the song "Black Cat" sounded daily on the streets and literally in every house, it was a nationwide hit. The image of Pieha was also associated with it. Are there many differences today in comparison with that EditaPieha, who won a place on the stage? The legendary actress herself, despite the past decades, does not see significant changes in her creative life. Yes, and in the ordinary, too. "True, there are some differences." Earlier, the energy in me beat over the edge, I did not go, but I flew! I took on the most difficult stages and I did not doubt that everything was in my power. "You know, it was not otmomadeyannosti, but from self-confidence, that Edita Pieha is my ideal, I'm trying to match him, I feel that I can do something else. "What is embedded in me by my mother, her upbringing, remains unchanged." I'll never shake someone with my elbows, pull out someone else , which belongs only to them .I am proud that now she herself earning for life, for costumes, helping my daughter. "

The daughter gave the mother a grandson and granddaughter. But the titled star is not shy about grandmother's rank. Edita Pieha assures: "I was glad to correspond to the classic image of my grandmother - to be gray and to wear a handkerchief, I can not do this anyway." I am a singer, and when I go on stage, I should look appropriately. When they tell me that I'm not at all like my sixty years, it makes me happy.I think it's not just a duty kompliment. I look in the mirror - I'm not disappointed in myself. " Vnuchata already grown up. Stas Pyekha followed the path of his grandmother.

Macrobiotics-Piechowski

An uneasy life in the spotlights requires maintaining health. Pieha is supported by the "macrobiotic" system. She lives in harmony with her ownorganism, listens to him. Does what the body tells. For example, eats simple cereals, vegetables and fruits, onions, garlic, raisins, dried apricots. Instead of sugar - honey, instead of salt - soy sauce. Very rarely eat meat and eggs. The People's Artist walks by foot (no less than an hour a day), pours cold water, makes special exercises for her back. The motto is simple: in order to look good, you have to work hard! But not by bread alone: ​​"There are times when I want to be pampered." Somehow I was presented with a large beautiful cake decorated with beatings and fruits, and I allowed myself unheard of: I ate half a liter with great pleasure, but then I walked six kilometers to get rid of excess calories. in the pleasure of not denied, and undesirable consequences ran. "

Standard ... modesty

Appearance of the singer became for many a standard. But the heroine of the story did not think about it. She is always the first to greet people. What is it - a manifestation of aristocracy or vulgarity? Just Edita came from the French mining town of Noyelles-sous-Lance, where everyone greeted everyone at the meeting.

My mother did not speak to me the phrase that began with the words: "The crown will not fall from your head if you ..." Once upon a time I approached Boris Yeltsin and congratulated him on the holiday, many were shocked, why? I did it naturally, humanly, and not out of a sense of sycophancy. "
