Early life

edit

Valentina Talyzina was born on January 22, 1935, in Omsk. Valentina's father was Illarion (Ильшат) Grigorievich Talyzin, a Russified Tatar, and her mother was Anastasia (Асылгюль) Trifonovna Talyzina. When Valentina Talyzina was an infant, her family moved to Baranavichy.[2][5]

Career

edit

Between 1952 and 1954, Talyzina studied at the Omsk Agricultural Institute.[1]

In 1954, she was admitted to the Russian Academy of Theatre Arts, where she graduated in 1958. That same year, she became part of the Mossovet Theatre troupe.[1]

She made her film debut in 1963 in the detective film The Man who Doubts, where she played the role of Inna. But, it wasn’t until the late 1960s that she began to actively act in film. One of her first big acting successes was the role of Nadya in the adventure film Road to Saturn.[6]

Valentina Talyzina had a minor role in the film The Irony of Fate and also dubbed over major character Nadia because her regular actress, Barbara Brylska, had an obvious Polish accent.[1]

For her performance in the television series Lines of Fate, Valentina Talyzina received the Golden Eagle Award as Best Television Actress in 2004.[7]

In March 2014, Talyzina signed a letter in support of the controversial 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea.[8] As a result, she was banned from entering Ukraine along with many other Russian artists and entertainers.[9] In 2023, she stated her support for the infamous Russian invasion of Ukraine in an interview; during this, she also made several anti-semitic statements.[10]
