Popular actress Nonna Grishaeva

The star of the Big Difference, the winner of the TV show "Two Stars", the actress of the theater "Quartet I", the mother of "Papa's daughters" and the real children - Ilyusha and Nastya, a woman from Odessa, to the core, popular actress Nonna Grishaeva passed fire and water.


It's time for the "copper pipes" of glory ...

Her work day begins early in the morning, and ends at night. God gave her so generously that now she has to give herself as generously to the audience and, of course, to the family. Her vocation is to give people joy, and what can be more difficult than laughing ...

Nonna, why do you work so hard to wear out?


Somehow I got like a squirrel in a wheel, and it's already difficult to stop. I refuse from 90% of offers, the truth. Look, "Daddy's daughters" - how to refuse, if I have been filming there for more than a year, this is a story, I can not just drop it, say "tired". The same with the "Big Difference". I get tremendous pleasure from this project, how to refuse? Next - the musical "toothy nanny." The only new musical performance that I agreed to because I had to leave the musical performance of the Vakhtangov Theater, and I do not think myself without singing on stage. I hope this is not "Mademoiselle Nitouche"? Yes, it's Mademoiselle Nitouche. I was not very well treated in the theater ... in this performance. It's your favorite show! Yes, I've been waiting for this role for 10 years. But they introduced the third line-up, without asking whether it was necessary for me. They said I'm too old for this role. And I'm proud. I'll never be up to 60 years old hold on to the role and shout "No, it's mine!". If I do not need this performance, the theater, I'll leave - I need it everywhere and everyone in other places.


After graduating from the Shchukin school, the popular actress Nonna Grishaeva was taken to Lenkom, Satirikon, and Vakhtangovsky. You chose the latter. It seemed to me that once in Vakhtangovsky colleagues work, even my former teachers, it means that everyone knows everything about you, nobody will have to prove anything. But it was necessary to prove. And for a very long time. I had roles, but the roles are small. On me in the theater before "Mademoiselle Nitush" did not put anything. I was an artistic frame of other artists.

Is it true that the roles affect your life?

Yes it's true. You need to think very well when you agree to a role, because then you are simply wondering - how is it? And like this. What were the most "influential"? In the Witches of Eastwick. And in the "Mademoiselle Nitouche." After her, I got married.

Nona, your life today looks like a dream come true. Did you really dream about it?


Yes, I dreamed about it. When you really want something, you need to correctly direct your thoughts, your dreams. If you deserve it, you will get it. I checked it several times and got exactly what I asked for.

Once the dream has come true, there should be another dream for the popular actress Nonna Grishaeva?

Yes, there are many of them! First of all, I dream to live in human conditions. This is the "closest" dream. I dream of a house in Odessa with a view to the sea. I dream that there would be more free time to go to several places where I really want to go. I still dream about a musical film ... Do you have a working mom complex? Not without it. It does not work. Greetings strongly.

But as?


In different ways . All the time I buy something. Daughter - things, my son - toys.

Nastya Grishayeva is 13 years old. Do you feel that the age of transition is close?

Yes, I feel, that's why I wrote a book. I did not write it with my hands, I slandered it. We worked on it for several months. This "Tips for Daughters" - for girls of transitional age. Dedicated to my daughter. The idea was born in the publishing house, they suggested, and I thought: I have something to say. You were a home child with a "greenhouse" upbringing.

And how do you raise your daughter?

Same. Because the street now does not involve free education. We do not let Nastya alone until now. She is not particularly upset yet, thank God. I know that Nastya is studying at an art school.


What else does she do?

Aikido! She really likes it. She begged us to give her there.

Nona, she does not invite you there, either?

Well, she's not crazy about me (laughs).

Popular actress Nonna Grishaeva advises

How to deal with the complex of a working mom? Yes, do not fight! Just find time to spend time with the children. Then there will be no complexes.

How to cope with life's difficulties? Probably, it is necessary in these situations not to tire of telling yourself: everything will pass away, and this will pass. Well, I, at least, always do so.


How to cheer yourself up?
"Treat yourself to something good!" Pampered! See, for example, some good movie, go to the theater, but only for a good performance. To communicate with the child. In general, include pleasant positive emotions. And be sure to eat a piece of chocolate!

Nona, Ilya is already three years old. Do you take him to some classes?

Yes! We'll go to the pool. Together! And he draws. And how does your son let you go to work, is he still so small?

He knows that my mother needs to work. Recently he acted with me in advertising. He liked it, he even shouted "Stop!" - I heard the director screaming. And your mother now lives in Moscow? In Moscow. We all live together. And who in your family is in charge? Everyone in their field is in charge. As for the house, the farm, of course, my mother. As for the children, it's probably me, because I keep everything under control. I call my mother, nurse, I give instructions. And what is your husband's main thing (actor and businessman Alexander Nesterov)? He in general is my director. He is engaged in all my affairs, he is my most important assistant. If he is not only a husband, but a director, how does he not limit your workload? Limit, can not even imagine how much! But, you know, when I start to say something to friends and colleagues about work, they say: "Grishaeva, be silent! Crisis, no one has a job. Do not anger God." So I'm silent in a rag.

Nonna, when will we finally see you in the movie in the title role?

Apparently, soon. There will be a film by Alexander Atanesyan "On treason", where I play the wife of the main character.


A comedy gift is a rarity, especially for a woman. What do you think is needed for a comedian artist other than talent? Feeling of self-irony. I do not know ... maybe you need to be born in Odessa? (laughs).
