10 most famous acting dynasties originating from the USSR

Professional family dynasties have existed almost since the transformation of apes into humans. Or maybe a little later. In wild tribes, strict family divisions are still preserved: some are engaged in hunting, others in farming. In the Middle Ages, it was impossible to imagine that a tanner, for example, would become a cooper or a pastry chef. However, when creative people are engaged in one thing, the proverb about nature and the children on whom it rests will definitely be remembered. Can a talented carpenter, fireman or steelmaker have a mediocre successor to the profession? A successful businessman has a mediocre heir? Quite. But, you see, few people will notice this and, in an idle conversation at a friendly table, will compare the skills of completely strangers. Unless, of course, the heir to capital to smithereens does not go bankrupt in a short time.

And only the successors of creative professions are doomed to constant comparison with their ancestors. They are watched and discussed with special passion always and everywhere. Fortunately, in Russia, in most famous acting dynasties, nature works without a break for several decades in a row. This is only a tenth of the existing acting families - dynasties. Alphabetically.

Actor-director dynasty Bondarchuk

The founder of the dynasty is the outstanding film director and actor Sergei Bondarchuk. Sergei Fedorovich had two wives - actress Inna Makarova and actress Irina Skobtseva. Both marriages produced children who also became artists. And then their children.

From her first marriage with the St. Petersburg theater and film actress Inna Makarova, a daughter was born, Natalya Bondarchuk; from her marriage to the artist Nikolai Burlyaev, a daughter, Maria Burlyaeva, was born. In his second marriage, Sergei Bondarchuk and Irina Skobtseva had children Alena and Fedor. Alena's son Konstantin Kryukov and Natalya's daughter Maria Burlyaeva - yet? - the youngest members of a large acting dynasty.

Nemolyaevs – Lazarevs

Vladimir Viktorovich Nemolyaev is the founder of the dynasty. This is an outstanding director of the Soviet era. In 1938, his fairy tale film “Doctor Aibolit” was released, which Soviet children adored. Nemolyaev passed on his talent and surname to his daughter.

The wonderful artist, Svetlana Nemoleyava, can be considered the standard of a wife and mother. They lived in marriage with Alexander Lazarev for more than 50 years. Nemolyaeva’s husband became a superstar after the film “Once More About Love.” And the son of the star couple, Alexander, is a popular film actor and leading artist of the Lenkom Theater.

Svetlana Vladimirovna’s younger brother, Nikolai, shot the film “Pokrovsky Gate” as a cameraman. And the actress’s niece, Anastasia Nemolyaeva, is one of the first beauties of Russian cinema. Viewers remember her from the films “Courier” and “Intergirl”.

Ephraim Dynasty

The founder of the dynasty is a man of the era: theater director and actor Oleg Efremov. His children Anastasia (from a civil marriage with actress Irina Mazuruk) and Mikhail (from a marriage with actress Alla Pokrovskaya), who are directly related to theater and cinema, already have their own adult children Olga Efremova and Nikita Efremov, who also continue to bear the heavy cross of the family name , daily proving their worth and uniqueness of the family.

Boyarsky

The famous "d'Artagnan" grew up in an acting family. Mikhail followed in the footsteps of his father, two uncles and older brother Alexander. But the great “musketeer” outplayed all his relatives.

Mikhail Sergeevich has 80 acting works in his arsenal. Chevalier de Brillie, Don Cesar de Bazan, Teodoro - Boyarsky's talent was revealed in these and many other images. The artist “steals” women’s hearts masterfully and has no intention of stopping.

Mikhail Sergeevich's wife, Larisa Luppian, devoted herself to her beloved family, theater and cinema. The true daughter of her parents, Elizaveta Boyarskaya, also did not change family traditions.

Yankovsky dynasty

Founders: brothers Rostislav and Oleg Yankovsky. The first to enter the acting path was his elder brother Rostislav, a film and theater artist who lived most of his life in Belarus and served at the Minsk Drama Theater. His sons Igor and Vladimir also became artists, but later left the profession. The younger brother Oleg became the founder of the Moscow branch of the acting dynasty: in his marriage to actress Lyudmila Zorina, he had a son, Philip. Nowadays, the already famous film director and actor Philip Yankovsky and his wife, actress Oksana Fandera, are taking their first steps in the acting profession with their eldest son Ivan.

Grandson Nikita Efremov

Mikhail Efremov's son Nikita was born at the end of May 1988. He grew up, graduated from the Moscow Art Theater, and went to work in the theater created by his grandfather.

Nikita Efremov

He also acts in films; his role in the series “The Duel” (based on the story by Kuprin) remained noticed by the audience. Nikita and his father have not yet worked in cinema. Although he did not grow up in the family of Mikhail Olegovich, the actor still respects his parent, learning the skill from him. He barely remembers his grandfather, although he saw him when he was eleven years old. This was a week before the death of Oleg Efremov.

Ephraim Dynasty

The Efremov acting dynasty gave the country many creative works in cinema and theater. The kindest Oleg Nikolaevich, passionate football fans Mikhail and Nikita, their family members and friends left their mark on the country’s cultural foundation. The roles of these people in cinema and theater make viewers think about life and human weaknesses.

Today, Russian cinema is gradually being revived. Along with gray ribbons, paintings also appear that concern people morally. It’s not all “shooting games” with “horror” films, which are already pretty boring, to watch. Sometimes the viewer returns to watching films from the Soviet period that never get old. And there is amazing acting, simple and so understandable.

Childhood and youth

Wikipedia says that Fyodor Sergeevich Bondarchuk was born in Moscow on May 9, 1967, his nationality is Russian. The family tree of the future actor and director already included talented and famous people. His mother, Irina Konstantinovna Skobtseva, was an actress, and his father, Sergei Fedorovich Bondarchuk, was a director. The boy was the second child in the family; he had an older sister, Elena, who also played in the theater and acted in films.

The parents' busy lives did not allow them to raise their youngest child, so the grandmother did this almost from birth. The biography of Fyodor Bondarchuk says that he graduated from secondary school No. 31 in Moscow, and at the same time studied at an art school.

Fyodor's family was almost always on the move, so from an early age he was left to his own devices. At school he started smoking, drinking alcohol and acting out. At this time, the boy became friends with the son of Nikita Mikhalkov.

In 1985, Bondarchuk graduated from school, after which he tried to enter the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO), but failed the exams. The guy's father was very strict, he took him to the directing and production department at VGIK. Studying was difficult for Fyodor, but a year later he received a small role in the drama “Boris Godunov,” which was directed by his father.

The actor later recalls that this role was a real test for him . The father was not only strict, but also very demanding; after the rehearsal, Fyodor came home physically and emotionally exhausted.

After a year of studying at the directing department, Bondarchuk was drafted into the army, he served for some time in Krasnoyarsk, then ended up in a regiment located in the Moscow region, which was created specifically for the filming of “War and Peace.” After filming was completed, the military unit was attached to the Taman division.

Already at that time, Fedor began to devote more time to acting, tried on different roles, and studied directing. Despite his diligence and diligence, Bondarchuk never received a diploma from VGIK, because he could not pass the exam on the history of the CPSU. At this time he already had his own company, so he decided not to finish his studies.
