Filmography: films starring Tatyana Doronina
In the 50s, the actress made her film debut. All films with the participation of Tatyana Doronina were a stunning success. Despite the fact that it was her work in cinema that allowed the actress to gain fame, she still preferred the theater stage. Because of this, she has a rather modest filmography: “First Echelon”, “Elder Sister”, “Three Poplars on Plyushchikha”, etc.
Many Soviet viewers appreciated, in addition to Tatyana Doronina's first-class acting, her beautiful voice, which sounded in several films.
Among other things, the actress has repeatedly been a narrator in documentaries.
When Tatyana Doronina chose the Moscow Art Theater to study, she did not even suspect that the theater would become her second home for a long time. The actress has been heading and directing the Moscow Art Theater for many years. Despite her 84 years, the popular Soviet actress Tatyana Doronina does her job well and looks great.
Tatyana Doronina now
At the beginning of 2020, the events surrounding the Doronin Moscow Art Theater were actively discussed in the press. At the height of the theater season, without any consultation with the artists, new management came to the theater in the person of Eduard Boyakov and his deputies Zakhar Prilepin and Sergei Puskepalis, and the “owner”, who had kept the theater at a decent level for more than thirty years, disappeared from it, despite to the post of president specially created for Doronina. Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky told the press about the appointment of a new artistic director.
Eduard Boyakov, new artistic director of the Moscow Art Theater
According to the Moscow Art Theater actors, the new artistic director behaved unprofessionally: performances with Doronina’s participation were canceled, her portraits were defiantly torn off the walls, the actors who were appointed to the roles by the former “mistress” were removed from them.
Later in an interview, Boyakov stated that Doronina is “a person who is ready to swear allegiance to Russian culture to resist the terrible liberal-Western tsunami, but her theater does not have modern technologies, does not speak modern language,” complaining that because of this, young people prefer not to go to classical performances, but on “the aesthetics of the Gogol Center and other vulgar performances,” as the new artistic director of the Moscow Art Theater deigned to put it.
Doronina still has the “honorary position” of the Moscow Art Theater President
The troupe split in two, most of the actors supported Tatyana Vasilievna and even turned to the President of Russia with a request to intervene in the behind-the-scenes events. Later, the new management cut the source of income for all the “undersigned,” and the Moscow Art Theater anniversary, celebrated in the summer of 2020, passed without Tatyana Doronina and many respected theater actors.
The great actress had a hard time surviving last year’s events. She hid in her country house and stopped answering almost all phone calls and attempts by journalists to interview her, communicating only with the closest circle of people devoted to her.
Meeting between Doronina and Putin in the Kremlin in 2020
In November of the same year, the host of the “Live Broadcast” program, Andrei Malakhov, invited people familiar with this situation from the inside to film an episode dedicated to the scandal with Doronina. As one of the participants, writer Yuri Polyakov, said on his Facebook, the guests talked a lot about the injustice of such a decision, as well as about the failure of the Moscow Art Theater’s new play “The Last Hero” and about the rapid “repainting of Boyakov as an Orthodox patriot.” The issue was released shortly after the personal meeting between Doronina and Putin.
Personal life of Tatyana Doronina
In addition to the acting career of the famous theater and film actress, the personal life of Tatyana Doronina is often discussed, especially since there is something to discuss here. Tatyana Doronina is not only a talented actress and a good singer, but also a beautiful woman who has broken dozens of hearts. There were many men in her life, but none of them could compete with her work, which always came first for her.
In total, the actress was in five official marriages. Almost all of Tatyana Doronina’s chosen ones were her colleagues, but no one was able to build a strong family with her, which she could boast of today.
Tatyana Doronina: first lady of the Russian theater
Doronina During her youth, there was no concept of “style icon” in the Soviet country. But it was her heroine, the flight attendant from the cult film about the generation of the 60s, “Once More About Love,” that millions of women then imitated. A bright blonde with a regal bearing, wearing a simple sweater, according to the unspoken “dress code” of that time, lived in the sky, soared in her love and with all the strength of touching feminine weakness resisted everything ordinary and mundane.
Still from the film “Once More About Love” Her low, hoarse voice, turning into a half-whisper, drove men crazy.
There was so much emotion, nerve and passion in every phrase that she uttered from the screen or from the stage that no one remained indifferent in the audience. Doronina never played idols. And she didn’t depict the “difficult female lot.” On the screen, she lives out her destiny every time - be it a “happy” wife and mother of a family from “Three Poplars on Plyushchikha”, absurd and slightly comical in her fear of an unexpected and unfamiliar romantic feeling, or an ordinary village woman (“Stepmother”) , who is destined to pay for a short moment of simple female happiness with a series of new trials and tribulations.
A still from the film “Three Poplars on Plyushchikha” As for real life, in it Tatyana Doronina played the role of a strong-willed and regal person, a fatal beauty who inspired the best men of her generation and broke more than one heart.
Still from the film “Once More About Love” “Tanya was a simple girl from a working-class family, who knew little but madly loved the theater, she had a gentle character and very great talent. Unfortunately, Tanya's character gradually began to change; influenced by the theater, among other things,” recalls classmate and first husband of the actress Oleg Basilashvili.
With her first husband Oleg Basilashvili
The actress’s third husband, Edward Radzinsky, considers her cool disposition a continuation of her talent.
“How did she live? Every day, except Sunday, she went to the theater. In the morning there are rehearsals, in the evening there are performances. During breaks, she did not go home, but slept in the dressing room. When it was a weekend at the theater, Tanya went to the studio to film.”
“I was once asked if Doronina, in the heat of a family scandal, could have thrown something at me. I answer: I could! In the ten years that we lived together, a lot of things flew in the air and sometimes achieved their goals, besides books. She regretted books,” admits actor Boris Khimichev, with whom the actress had one of the longest marriages.
The actress’s last husband, Robert Tikhonenko, was a man far from art. Perhaps that is why he was able to discern in her not only a great actress and a talented leader, but also a charming woman.
“Tatiana knows how to love! Love lifts her, reveals her, heals her...” he once said in one of his few interviews.
“I remember we came to a performance by the physicists of the Kurchatov Institute, and, can you imagine, she goes on stage and, addressing the audience, proposes that the evening be organized in the form of questions and answers. She sets the condition that she will answer any question in poetry... What happened on stage was the discovery of a second Tatiana for me. I couldn’t imagine that questions about personal life and work could be answered so clearly and completely in poetry!” – Tikhonenko recalled.
“For me, Tatyana is femininity itself. A kind, caring, gentle wife, in the timbre of her voice and caresses I dissolved like sugar in tea,” he admitted.
Doronina does not believe in fate and omens . But the passionate monologue she once uttered from the screen involuntarily became prophetic in her fate.
“Go to the theater, live in it and die in it if you can!” The actress lives by this motto to this day. In rare free moments, she retires with books - this is her only passion, besides the theater.
“I live in imaginary worlds of imaginary people and I consider this life to be real,” admits the actress.
Family of Tatyana Doronina
Tatyana Doronina’s complete and real family is her parents and sister. The actress’s father was in war three times, but managed to survive and returned home. After the Great Patriotic War, the head of the family remained crippled, but, despite all the difficulties that they had to go through, their family existed for a very long time. And those were happy years, it was a strong family that Tatyana Doronina always admired.
It is surprising that, following the example of her parents, the actress did not want to create such a family and children herself; she chose a career that replaced everything for her.
Children of Tatyana Doronina
Having been married five times, the actress never had children. Perhaps this was the reason that all the actress’s marriages ended unsuccessfully. Therefore, Tatyana Doronina’s children are a myth.
Of course, when you are madly in love with your job, which, moreover, brings you more and more success, it is difficult to switch to your family, where everything is quiet and calm. Many successful actresses don't have children because they simply don't have time for them. Sometimes you have to choose between family and career, because, as statistics show, building a career and at the same time being a good family man is extremely difficult.

In 1955, the couple legalized their relationship, but apart from the painting in the registry office, there were no celebrations. Moreover, even that same white dress and rings were missing. Everything was modest and strict.

By the way, she met her next husband, actor Boris Khimichev , while auditioning for the film “Once More About Love,” for which Radzinsky wrote the script. But love at first sight did not work out then: the inspired Khimichev came to the audition, dreaming of acting in films (he had long wanted this) and even with Doronina herself (whom he really liked as an actress and as a woman). And this same “woman of dreams”, when they met, looked him up and down with such a look that Khimichev blushed and left, flatly refusing to even try out for the role (which was eventually played by Alexander Lazarev ).
