Biography

Elena Papanova was born into an acting family. Her father is People's Artist of the USSR Anatoly Dmitrievich Papanov, and her mother is actress Nadezhda Yuryevna Karataeva. Due to housing problems and constant tours of her parents, the girl lived with her maternal grandparents until she was fifteen. Few people were involved in Lena’s education; she had to do everything herself.

Only after the eighth grade did the parents take their daughter to live with them. However, the actress remembers her childhood with warmth: “I had a very happy childhood, I adored my grandmother, Maria Vasilievna, and I still believe that she is my second mother. I loved our yard - I liked to play all the yard games, invent all sorts of entertainment, and walk with my friends along the nearby streets and alleys.”

Lena studied well, on her own initiative she attended various theater clubs and studios, and at the same time she was a very athletic girl. “I started figure skating from the age of five and went to a sports school. She knew how to do a spin, pistol, swallow, and even received a sports category. But in the fifth grade I gave up figure skating. Now I catch myself thinking that I really want to go to the skating rink, I hope I’ll get out somehow,” the actress shared.

After the tenth grade, it was necessary to decide on the choice of profession. Elena recalls: “When I graduated from school, my parents expected me to enter the Institute of Foreign Languages. And I dreamed of becoming an actress, although I didn’t talk about it, considering myself not beautiful enough.” Mom and dad tried to dissuade their daughter from entering the theater school: “Don’t. For a woman, this is generally a very difficult profession. If only you had the right appearance, you could play heroines. And you’re not a beauty among us.”

Without listening to her family, the girl nevertheless applied to the Moscow Art Theater School. But disappointment awaited her - Alla Tarasova, who was taking the course that year, was strict with the applicant: “First of all, you were poorly prepared. And then, think about whether you need to become an actress at all.” Elena was terribly upset by such a failure: “Another blow to pride. I came home crying and then I told my worried mother everything. Then at the family council it was decided: since I really want to be an actress, okay, try it.” The parents hired a teacher for their daughter, and the girl successfully passed the exams at three universities at once: GITIS, Shchepkinsky and Shchukinsky schools. It was decided to go to the first one, since mom and dad were graduating from it.

So the future actress, contrary to the instructions of her parents and the advice of teachers, began to comprehend the secrets of the acting profession at GITIS on the course of Vladimir Andreev. Elena Papanova proved to everyone, and most of all to herself, that she made the right choice: she received “excellent” in the state exams.

In 1976, the young artist graduated from GITIS. And again I found myself in a dilemma, this time the question of which theater to serve was being decided. The actress says: “Dad worked at the Satire Theater, and I, of course, wouldn’t refuse to work there either. There were ideas for a joint production... But then he said: “Well, what will they say in the theater? That Papanov brought his daughter. No...” And that’s why I ended up at the Ermolova Theater, where I still work. And my father and I have never worked either on stage or on camera...”

Elena Papanova: “I dedicated my youth to my family”

She became truly famous after Valeria Gai-Germanika’s scandalous film “School”. Meanwhile, Elena graduated from GITIS and has been working at the Ermolova Theater for more than 30 years.

Brought happiness

Her father is the legendary actor Anatoly Papanov. The artist met his wife Nadezhda Karataeva at GITIS; the young people were brought together by their front-line past, since the girl also managed to see the horrors of war when she worked as a nurse. Their marriage was practically exemplary. The Papanovs knew how to resolve conflicts without noisy scandals or scenes and loved each other. Papanov’s career did not develop immediately. Only in 1954 Papanov was able to reveal his talent in the play “The Fairy's Kiss”. His debut coincided with the birth of his daughter, Elena was born on November 20.

Nadezhda Karataeva said: “Before the appearance of his daughter, Anatoly Dmitrievich played very little, and mostly he got small roles. And it was during those days when I was in the maternity hospital that luck smiled on my husband for the first time. It all happened by chance: one actor fell ill, and Anatoly Dmitrievich was urgently brought into the play. After that they believed in him. I remember how my husband always said: “Lena brought me happiness.”

My parents returned late after performances; they had rehearsals and tours all the time. To prevent Elena from growing up as an abandoned child, from fiddling around in the dust behind the scenes and from sitting with make-up artists, like the children of many actors, she was raised by her grandparents until she was 14 years old. Then the parents were given an apartment. The street there was all torn up due to the construction of five-story buildings, and when Lena came there, she always had to put on rubber boots. Only ten years later the Papanovs took their daughter to live with them.

“I really wanted to be an actress, but since my parents strongly discouraged me, I prepared for foreign language, just in case,” recalls Elena. “But I still started going to theater schools. I failed at the Moscow Art Theater School, but got into other schools, and my parents recommended GITIS, since they themselves studied there. At GITIS, naturally, they knew that I was Papanov’s daughter, but dad never made any effort to push me through. Moreover, when I got a job at the Ermolovsky Theater and was immediately given a big role (the actress got sick), dad couldn’t come to watch the performance for a very long time. The head of the theater, Vladimir Andreev, even said: “Len, well, let your dad come, at least for the sake of decency.

Doesn’t he think about you at all?” We were often offered to act in films together, but dad always found some reason to refuse. And only once did he offer to work together - as a director, he staged his first play, “The Last,” which premiered after his death. We were once driving in the car, and he said: “Len, your role is there, I feel it.” Then some time passed, I asked him: “Well, dad, am I going to play?” And he answers me: “This is inconvenient. Well, what will they say in our theater? That Papanov brought his daughter from another theater?

“None of my colleagues at the theater understood me”

Elena often refused to film, especially if there were expeditions or business trips: “Both theater and cinema were in the background for me. I devoted my youth to my family and often refused roles. I probably didn’t build my life quite right for an actress. Taking care of a family is the right life for a woman who is engaged in another profession, but not for an actress. And I even once refused to go on tour with the theater to Germany, because I had just given birth to my second daughter. None of my colleagues at the theater understood me. But for me, my parents’ family has always been an example: despite the fact that both of them were actors, for them family was always the most important thing.”

Elena’s husband Yuri Titov was not from a theatrical family; he came to enroll in a theater university from Tashkent. After college, Yura and Lena decided to get married, although Papanova’s parents were against it, believing that their daughter needed to think about her career. But she signed with Titov at the Moscow registry office. The marriage produced two daughters - Maria and Nadezhda: “Dad always persuaded me: “Why are you giving birth so early? I just started working in the theater!” And when I was carrying my second daughter, he was completely stunned. Now I regret - I should have given birth more. My daughters didn’t go to the theater. The eldest, Masha, graduated from the Faculty of Philology of the Institute of Asian and African Countries; she is a specialist in the Korean language. But she couldn’t get a job speaking Korean, and Masha began working in the press center of the exhibition complex. And the youngest graduated from economics and worked in a bank.”

In 2009, Elena wrote a book about her father: “You know, everything works out for me somehow spontaneously. I wrote myself, not according to the principle of “not a day without a line,” but when I wanted. It took me two and a half years. By the way, at that time I was very new to the computer and wrote everything by hand; it turned out to be five or six large notebooks. When everyone went to bed in the evening, I poured myself a cup of tea and began to remember. I think it was easy for me because it was not my profession, but an amateur act.”

Theater

To the Moscow Drama Theater named after M.N. It was not by chance that Elena Papanova ended up with Yermolova. The troupe at that time was headed by her teacher, and it was he who took the “excellent student” into his team.

The actress recalls her first major role in the theater: “I had just graduated from Vladimir Alekseevich Andreev’s course and came to the theater when the performer of one of the main roles in the play “I Give You Life,” Raisa Semyonovna Gubina, fell ill. I was offered to replace it. So I played a young mother who lost her husband; he died at a factory construction site. My heroine was left alone with the child and was not abandoned, everyone helped as best they could. It all started from that role.”

On her native stage, the artist performed many different roles. And she spoke about her favorite ones in one of her interviews: “There are several of them. The role of Miss Andrew in the children's play "Mary Poppins". I loved this role because it could be played differently each time, it provided a large field for improvisation, you could be mischievous... Now this performance, unfortunately, is not in the repertoire. I really loved “Balzaminov’s Marriage,” where I played the cook Matryona. She loved “The Bourgeois Wedding”, in which she played the bride...”

Within the walls of the Ermolovsky Theater, the artist managed to gain interesting stage experience during the thematic festival of short plays “Theater Almanac”.

“I immediately agreed to participate, although no one was forced. The actors were called and told that if they wanted to take part in the festival, they needed to throw a note with their last name in a special box. Communicating with young directors is a great pleasure. When you work in one theater for a long time, you become ossified. And here is some new wave, something fresh. I liked almost all the performances that were at the festival. I believe that our director, Talgat Batalov, is a very capable guy, and I am glad that I met him,” the actress shared.

In the festival play “One Hundred Years on Stage” Elena played one of the leading roles. The artist enthusiastically describes her work on the images: “Our performance was born in an unusual way. At first the director talked to us for several days, asked various questions - we could not understand what this was about. Then it turned out that our conversations were recorded and then transcribed, and everyone ended up receiving the text that they themselves said. When you talk, you don’t really follow logic, so when I saw my text, I thought: how can you read this, these are just scraps of thoughts! And I started trying to make the text smoother. But then Talgat Batalov came up with his own image and task for everyone. For example, I was an acting teacher. And then I realized that I needed to return all the illogicality to the text so that everything would be humorous. Of course, participating was a great pleasure for me."

The actress has been serving at the Ermolova Theater since 1976, and has experienced repeated changes in management and a split in the team. Remaining true to her “home,” she simultaneously honed her acting skills “on the side,” but under the guidance of the permanent director of the Ermolovsky Theater, Alexei Levinsky. “I worked for many years in the Theater studio with Alexei Levinsky completely free of charge. There I played something that I didn’t play in the theater. And it was very interesting for me to work with Lesha...” admitted the artist.

And since 2014, a new exciting work has appeared in the life of Elena Papanova, now in a unique theater for children and adults - the Red Children's Theater, organized by director Roman Svetlov. The Theater has several main areas of activity: puppet shows, acting school, creative evenings, charity events. One of the actress’s last major works on this set was the comedy based on Ray Cooney’s play “Funny Money.”

First works in theater and cinema

Anatoly Papanov was born in the city of Vyazma, Smolensk region, into the family of a military man. His father, Dmitry Papanov, played in an amateur theater. Anatoly also appeared on stage if there were roles for children.

When the boy was eight years old, his parents moved to Moscow. Papanov recalled that at school he studied “poorly, read little,” but loved cinema and theater very much. I often went to the “Kauchuk” club, which was opened not far from my house. Papanov spent his senior year in evening school: to help his family, he went to work at the 2nd Moscow Bearing Plant, in a repair shop as a foundry worker.

At that time, an amateur theater studio operated under Kauchuk, and the factory workers served as artists. They staged the plays “Teacher”, “Professor Polezhaev”, “The Taming of the Shrew”, “Vassa Zheleznova”, and vaudeville. The team was led by the actor of the Yevgeny Vakhtangov Theater Vasily Kuza. His Vakhtangov colleagues taught amateur actors speech techniques, fencing and stage movements. Soon Papanov joined the troupe. His first roles were Hortensio from The Taming of the Shrew and Pyaterkin from Vassa Zheleznova.

The troupe often talked about literature. At such moments, Papanov “lowered his head and pretended to be thoughtful” - and was afraid that he would be asked too. He had nothing to say: he had not even mastered all the works of the school curriculum. It was because of this fear that he began to read, and then he could not stop - literature became his hobby. At the club, Papanov also attended a choir class, an art studio, and learned to play the domra.

In 1937, Papanov first appeared on the silver screen - he played a cameo role in the film “Lenin in October”. As an extra, he participated in the filming of the films “Suvorov”, “Minin and Pozharsky”, “Stepan Razin”.

Cinema

Elena Papanova made her film debut in 1976. At this time, she starred in Yaroslav Lupia’s melodrama “We Are Together, Mom” and the musical fairy tale “Shoes with Golden Buckles” by Georgy Yungvald-Khilkevich. The actress was noticed and began to be invited to children's films: Waiting, Three Fun Shifts and others.

In the 90s, the artist practically did not appear on screen. In 2002, she appeared in episodic roles in the series “Line of Defense” and “Behind the Scenes,” and disappeared again until 2010.

Such long breaks in the actress’s creative life were associated with the birth of her daughters. “I missed the moment, one might say, I missed my chance. When I came back from maternity leave, time passed, cinema changed, and in me, of course, there was little left of that young fair-haired girl,” explains Elena.

"School"

Thanks to director Valeria Gai Germanika, the actress returned to television screens. She was invited to play the role of Russian and literature teacher Valentina Kharitonovna in the youth television series “School”.

The artist says about her image in the film: “This heroine is more positive than negative. She is a product of her time, Soviet times. Lera and I wanted to show the viewer a teacher not from God. Valentina Kharitonovna knows her subject, but she is not a teacher by nature, she does not have such a calling, her children do not like her, she cannot find an approach to them, she does not really understand modern youth. I don’t want to say that all teachers of the Soviet era are the same, but they are often found.”

Playing a teacher was not so difficult for the actress; she tried herself in a similar role in real life. “I had teaching experience in my life, I taught stage speech at an art school and at an institute. I had a place to get information for my role. I know how to communicate with teenagers. That is, we can say that she played herself - she behaved as in class,” shares the artist.

The infamous series has caused a lot of controversy around itself. Some were shocked by it, others really liked it. The actress expressed her opinion on this matter: “They say about “School” that there is a lot of dirt in this series. And I think that there is no more negativity in him than in others. It’s just filmed in a documentary style, and you get the feeling that everything is for real. I don’t consider today’s youth bad. In general, despite the change of generations, people’s souls do not change.”

Elena Papanova and Valeria Gai Germanika, despite the years separating them, worked well together very quickly, and the actress explains it this way: “I really met a talented director. This rarely happens. She is young, but I obeyed with pleasure. I worked very well with her on set; Lera suggested a lot of things. I consider Leroy my godmother in cinema, because after “School” they began calling me to other films. I can’t say that I’m overwhelmed with work, but there are interesting offers.”

A year later, the actress starred in another film by Gai Germanika, about which she said: “I played the mother of one of the main characters in Gai Germanika’s project “A Short Course in a Happy Life,” a kind of village woman who comes from the province to her son and robs his common-law wife. Honestly, it was very interesting for me to play this role!”

Later, the artist took part in such projects as: the biographical drama “Vysotsky. Thank you for being alive” with Sergei Bezrukov, Oksana Akinshina, Andrei Panin, the melodrama “If only I were a queen...” based on the novel of the same name by Vera Kolochkova, the youth series “Deffchonki”, the film by Vladimir Khotinenko “Someone loses, someone finds” with Yaroslav Boyko and Maria Poroshina, detective story by Marat Kim “Women on the Edge”, popular series “Sklifosovsky-4” with Maxim Averin and others.

In 2014, a melodrama based on the novel by Alisa Lunina was released, where the actress played an episodic but striking role. Elena shared: “I starred in a series with the working title “New Year’s flight “St. Petersburg - Moscow” by Nana Dzhoradze. I have a supporting role there, I play my neighbor in the communal apartment, Aunt Tanya. I really enjoyed the filming, especially since I had wonderful partners there - Oksana Fandera, Sveta Khodchenkova - it was just a star company, and it seems to me that I, too, succeeded.”

The year 2015 brought the actress three film works. She played a kindergarten teacher in Anna Sarukhanova’s comedy “The Diary of Louise Lozhkina”, Yakhontova in the melodrama “Communal”, a guest in Boris Grachevsky’s mini-series “Between the Notes, or the Tantric Symphony”.

And in 2016, the artist’s work in the fourth season of the project “Moscow. Central District" with Vladimir Menshov and the series "Family Circumstances" with Maria Poroshina, Konstantin Lavronenko, Anna Kamenkova, Arthur Vakha and others.

Papanov's theatrical works

In 1946, after graduating from GITIS, Papanov played in Klaipeda - their course was sent to Lithuania to create a Russian drama theater. Klaipeda was almost completely destroyed. During the first days, the actors, together with city residents, cleared the main square of rubble. Here the Russian theater did not last long, the troupe was disbanded and Papanov returned to Moscow.

In the capital, the actor was met by a mentor from GITIS, Andrei Goncharov, and immediately invited to the Satire Theater, where he served as a director. Papanov devoted his entire life to this theater, although he was invited to both the Moscow Art Theater and the Maly Theater.

The artists of the Satire Theater danced, sang and improvised a lot. Papanov did not know how to do all this, and joining the team was not easy. In addition, satyrs often played pranks on newcomers - and not only behind the scenes, but also on stage. Once, the theater staged the play “Bag of Temptations,” where Papanov played townsman Jack Holiday. According to the script, the actor was supposed to lift the bag onto his shoulders, but he couldn’t: his colleagues nailed the prop to the floor. Papanov tried to lift him several times until he was torn from the stage amid laughter in the audience. Papanov reacted to such jokes with humor, and they soon stopped.

Preparing for his next role, Papanov went out into the street and observed people, their movements and manners. “It seems to me that the life of an artist is unthinkable without an arsenal of tools based on observation and accumulation of details. It is not known in what role they will be useful, but they should always be at hand. The actor who is not filled with details is poor,” said Papanov. Even during football matches, he looked for types among the fans. He invented biographies for his theatrical characters and himself added accent details to the costume - an old newspaper and a scribbled pencil for a bureaucrat, a crumpled cap for a peasant.

A television

In 2011, Elena Papanova took part in the “Cruel Intentions” program. The artist made it to the 3rd round out of 4. “I doubted my participation for a long time,” says Elena. - My children convinced me. I saw the first season of the show and I wanted to be there. It is clear that this is dangerous. But those who don’t take risks don’t drink champagne. I am a physically fit person: every morning I run and go to the pool, and do fitness. There was a moment during the course when I chickened out, so I didn’t pass the test as well as I could. But I didn’t regret it at all! “I proved to myself that I’m capable of a lot.”

Book

In 2009, Elena Papanova’s book “I Want to Tell...A Book about My Father” was published by the Eksmo Publishing House.

The artist says about what prompted her to create the book: “I couldn’t decide on this for a long time. But you always have to tell journalists something, and one day I thought: “Why not sit down and write everything at once?” And I began to little by little write down memories when I had time, not through force, but willingly. And so a book was born, which the publishing house accepted almost without corrections.”

Personal life

Elena Papanova has been married to her former classmate for more than forty years. Such a strong and happy union is rare in acting families. “Yuri Titov and I took the same course at GITIS. In the graduation performance “As You Like It” based on Shakespeare, they played love, which very soon became for us not just stage, but quite real,” shares Elena.

Immediately after college, the young people decided to sign their names. The parents were against such an early marriage, and they were also embarrassed by the fact that Lena’s chosen one was not a Muscovite. However, she again went against her parents. Elena admitted: “When we first got married, everyone said that Yura chose me, Papanov’s daughter, precisely for the sake of his career. Because of this, he and I became even closer: my husband always tried to prove to me and everyone else that he loved me “just like that.” The marriage turned out to be long-term and happy. Two daughters were born there - Maria and Nadezhda.

The famous grandfather doted on his granddaughters. The actress said: “When I was a child, he (my father) was picking up the pace, acting, making a career for himself. When his granddaughters appeared, he was already an accomplished artist; here, what did not manifest itself to me, manifested itself especially in the girls. Dad adored his granddaughters: Masha and Nadya. I was worried that because of work I couldn’t devote as much time to them as I wanted. When dad came to us, he brought toys, books, and read aloud to the girls.”

Elena turned out to be a very responsible and demanding mother. The daughters grew up in love, but severity. They didn’t follow in the footsteps of their parents, but this doesn’t upset the actress at all: “I’m proud of my girls. They both received a good education, for which I spent a lot of effort. Masha graduated from the Institute of Asian and African Studies at Moscow State University and speaks Korean. She has her own small company. And Nadya studied at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Printing Arts. She is the deputy head of a department in one bank.”

The actress is twice a grandmother, she has a grandson and a granddaughter. Elena tries to raise them in such a way that, first of all, she can be their friend. About the eldest he says with a smile: “I’m afraid that Mashin’s son Igal (his dad, my son-in-law Sasha, is an Israeli citizen, which is why the boy was given such an unusual name for us) will become an actor. In any case, the scenes that he throws at me on the way to kindergarten testify to his acting talents. Who knows, maybe he’ll take after his great-grandfather?”

Perhaps the great-grandchildren will continue the glorious acting dynasty of the Papanovs. It is noteworthy that Elena Papanova kept her maiden name during her marriage. Then her parents persuaded her. And the actress’s daughters, after Titov’s father, became Papanovs when they received their passports.

ACTRESS ELENA PAPANOVA: THE GREAT PEOPLE DID NOT COME TO US FOR TEA

— What kind of grandfather was Anatoly Dmitrievich Papanov?

- Much more affectionate than a father. (With a smile.) When my girls were born, he had already become a sought-after artist: there was no need to work so hard, which meant there was time left for the family. He adored his granddaughters! When dad died, Masha was eight, and Nadyushka was only three. — Your daughters continued the acting dynasty? - No. The eldest graduated from the Institute of Asian and African Countries. The younger one is an economics major and works in a bank. — Anatoly Dmitrievich’s roles have long been stolen for quotes. “They’ll screw you, but don’t steal!”, “Either aristocrats or degenerates drink champagne in the morning!” Did he come up with any of this himself? - A lot. For example, an episode from “Beware of the Car”: dad jumps up in court with the words “Freedom for Yuri Detochkin!” - this phrase came out on its own; it was not in the script. And in “The Diamond Arm” - remember the scene when he swims in fins, hooking a fish, and then emerges and says with relish: “Idiot!” This is also impromptu: someone from the film crew did something wrong, and the father could not restrain himself. — Anatoly Dmitrievich played with Andrei Mironov both on stage and in films. Were they friends in real life? “I don’t have stories about how great people came to us for tea. (With a smile.) In fact, my father had two close friends. Both are artists. Dad knew them since school - a true friendship, time-tested...

In life

Elena Papanova tried herself as a model and took part in the theatrical show of fashion designer Margarita Davydova. The artist shared her impressions: “The feeling is amazing. In my opinion, before the performance I don’t worry as much as I worried now... I plunged a little into this world. I was interested in seeing this kitchen.”

The actress takes an active life position and proves it with her deeds. In 2005, she was a member of the jury of the Stars for Animals competition. And three years later she even participated in a rally on Pushkin Square in Moscow in defense of homeless animals.

Interview

About the roles

“If I’m interested in a role, I’ll play for free. If you are thinking about money, it is better not to come here, because maybe you will work in the theater all your life, you will be handed a tray: “Food is served.” But you should get satisfaction from it.”

“Just like dad, I don’t like playing myself, I’m bored. I definitely need to play some character.”

“I’ve been thinking for a long time that my most “mine” role is Vassa Zheleznova from Gorky’s play of the same name. I have ambitions, I believe that I can and should play major roles.”

About the role

“It always seemed to me that my role is not just a “neighbor in a communal apartment”, my heroines are always crazy, they always have absurdity and incomprehensible breakdown.”

About directing

“I never argue with directors and always do what they ask. I’m sure you can’t argue with directors, especially in films. Cinema is the art of the director, not the actor.”

About myself and father

In one of the interviews, the actress quoted her father’s words, which were forever etched in her memory: “An actor cannot be bored. He must observe every minute, remember everything...” “I remember this,” Elena clarifies.

“As I get older, I begin to understand dad more, and I myself become more like him. Just like him, I need no one to interfere with walking, learning the role... And I, too, am never satisfied with what I do - just like my father was dissatisfied with himself all his life, no matter how much praise he heard. Even though I became an actress against the will of my parents, I still always learned from my dad. He left early, and I had very little time for this... And now I think that if he had lived another 20 years, my fate would have turned out differently.”

The secret of happiness from Elena Papanova

“I like today's times. I feel happy. I accustomed myself to the idea that I need to enjoy the little things and be happy from the little things. For example, I’m walking with the dog, the sun, good weather - I’m happy. I’m driving to the shoot early in the morning from the dacha, good music - again, I’m happy, because life is very fleeting. And when I’m old enough, I don’t want to think about the fact that all my life I was dissatisfied with something, embittered, always offended by someone, annoyed. I want my life to be happy. So I think that’s the way to live.”

The last years of Anatoly Papanov, death

Concluding the story about the actor’s life, we note that until the end of his days, our today’s hero remained faithful to art. He taught at GITIS and also acted in films. The actor's latest work is the film "Cold Summer of '53...". The voice acting of the character played by the actor was done by Igor Efimov.

Even a motor ship is named after Anatoly Papanov

To some extent, it was this picture that became prophetic in the fate of Anatoly Dmitrievich. The talented actor died of a heart attack while taking a cold shower on a hot summer day.

In 1987, the actor was posthumously awarded the USSR State Prize.
