Actress Zoya Pylnova is one of the most mysterious personalities among Russian artists. It is extremely difficult to obtain any information about her life and work even on the vast expanses of the Internet.
Indeed, despite a solid track record, which includes work at the Taganka Theater and work as a voice-over artist for cartoons, a significant part of the actress’s biography remains a secret to the general public. This means, strange as it may seem, there are people among representatives of creative professions for whom modesty and lack of vanity are not something unnatural. The entire biography of Zoya Pylnova, including her personal life, is not shown.
A voice familiar from childhood
Meanwhile, Zoya Pylnova’s voice is familiar to many people born in the seventies and eighties from childhood. It is in her voice that the pig Funtik from the famous series of Soviet cartoons speaks and sings.
She also voiced the Little Wolf from the cartoon “Big Ear” and Little Wolf from the cartoon of the same name. The actress also participated in the dubbing of the animated films “KOAPP”, “On the Road with the Clouds” and many others. Zoya Vladimirovna played in many radio plays and audio plays for children, which were released on records in Soviet times. Among these works are: “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves”, “Fairy Tales of Uncle Remus”, “How to Get a Live Monkey”, “The Tiger Cub Who Said “rrrr!”, “Dwarf Nose” from the “Fairy Tale” series behind a fairy tale" and others.
Zoya came to animation after leaving the Taganka Theater in 1981.
Theater, television
Actress Zoya Pylnova worked under the direction of Yuri Petrovich Lyubimov for fourteen years, until his forced emigration to France. Her creative colleagues were Vladimir Vysotsky, Valery Zolotukhin, Leonid Yarmolnik, Leonid Filatov and many other famous artists. Many spectators remembered the actress singing verses in the theater foyer, inviting the audience to the performance. She was accompanied by Vysotsky on guitar and Zolotukhin on harmonica. Zoya Vladimirovna played the most significant theatrical roles in the plays “The Master and Margarita”, “The Dawns Here Are Quiet”, “Take Care of Your Faces” (in which the song “Wolf Hunt” was performed). Her debut performance was “Pugachev” based on Sergei Yesenin, with Vysotsky in the title role. Zoya Vladimirovna also took part in the program from the documentary series “Man in the Frame,” dedicated to her husband, Vladimir Ilyin. In this program, she, along with other artists, talked about Ilyin’s mysterious acting talent.
Finest hour
Some creative people manage to make a name for themselves in their youth, while others are forced to achieve fame for years. Among the latter is actor Vladimir Ilyin, whose photo can be seen in the article. This man was able to attract public attention for the first time thanks to the melodrama “My Favorite Clown,” in which he played the role of Roman Samonovsky. The film tells the story of the misadventures of a circus performer who has to take care of a six-year-old orphanage.
Thanks to his bright role, the actor was noticed not only by the audience, but also by the directors. Films with Vladimir's participation began to be released one after another. The drama “Defender Sedov”, in which he played the main character, helped him consolidate his success. The film tells the story of a capital lawyer who goes to the outback to fight the lawlessness that is happening there. Next, Ilyin convincingly played the key character in the drama “Accident - the Cop’s Daughter.” His hero is a rude and clumsy man who is ready to do anything to protect his child.
Family
Pylnova Zoya Vladimirovna is married to the famous actor Vladimir Ilyin, known to viewers in such films as “The Time of the First”, “Burnt by the Sun”, “The Money Changers”, “My Husband is an Alien”, “Anchor, More Anchor!”, “Poddubny” and many others.
Vladimir also grew up in the family of an actor in Sverdlovsk. So Vladimir and Zoya are also fellow countrymen. The future spouses met in the summer of 1970 in Sverdlovsk. Vladimir, who was at that time an actor at the Kazan Youth Theater, came there on vacation. Zoya Pylnova also came there as part of the touring troupe of the Taganka Theater. At first, the young actress in a fashionable miniskirt did not take the advances of the long-haired guy seriously, making fun of him in Odessa traditions. She perfectly mastered the art of Odessa humor while studying at the Odessa Theater Institute. But Vladimir Ilyin, who always had an amazing charm, still managed to win the heart of a capital celebrity. Vladimir Adolfovich moved to Moscow, where he went to work at the Mayakovsky Theater. His father soon began to play in the same theater. In the first years of married life, the young people did not live very richly. However, Zoya always dressed smartly, because she sewed her own clothes from materials that she brought with her from tours. She also sewed for friends, to order.
Love, betrayal and unfulfilled dreams
She met her future husband, Vladimir Ilyin, in the early 70s in Sverdlovsk. Zoya was on tour there, and Volodya came from Kazan to visit his mother. At that time, both actors did not have all-Union popularity, although the actress already had Moscow fans. And Gelly’s role in “The Master and Margarita” gave him the right to feel on an equal footing with Vysotsky and Zolotukhin.
A lively girl in a short miniskirt literally drove Ilyin crazy. But the guy didn’t make an impression on Zoya, and his appearance left much to be desired. The actress “gave” the young man disdainful glances and caustic remarks. She also offered to replace the worn, stretched sweater with a more decent one. Pylnova herself dressed fashionably and extravagantly, despite her meager salary of 75 rubles. Friends often asked her to sew the same dress or blouse for them, knowing what an excellent craftswoman Zoya was.
We don’t know what kind of tricks Ilyin came up with, but persistent courtship melted the heart of the unapproachable fashionista. Soon the young people began to live together in the capital. Vladimir dreamed of playing on the Taganka stage, but Lyubimov did not take him.
A few years later, Ilyin was invited to the theater. V. Mayakovsky, and a little later his father and brother joined him. No matter how hard Zoya tried to protect her husband from the “green serpent,” he still fell into his tenacious clutches.
At first, Vladimir said that he just needed to relax after the performance. But one day she got tired of it all and decided to leave. Moreover, there was someone to go to. At that time, Leonid Yarmolnik sought the actress’s favor, although he knew that she was not free.
Vladimir suffered greatly and asked Zoya to return, but the actress was already head over heels in love with her young lover. She, as before, looked stunning, and was not afraid to wear a short skirt in 25-degree frost and a light sheepskin coat. Friends warned: “Zoyka, look, you’ll catch a cold. How will you give birth to children later?”
Maybe the envious people croaked, or maybe she really should have been careful, but Pylnova’s boast backfired.
When the actress told Leonid that she was expecting a child, he was incredibly happy. Unfortunately, in the sixth month of pregnancy, health problems began, and Zoya was unable to carry the baby. This grief did not bring the young people closer together; quarrels and reproaches began. Pylnova left Yarmolnik, although she knew that he still loved her.
At that time, Vladimir gave up alcohol, he was famous, and Zoya decided to return to her ex-husband. He accepted and forgave her. The couple dreamed of children and soon the actress admitted that she was pregnant. But this time Pylnova was unable to give birth. Health problems never allowed Zoya to become a mother. The actress regretted that she did not listen to the advice of her friends.
Parishioners saw her more and more often in the church near the icons. What did the woman ask the Almighty for? Probably to forgive the sins of youth, betrayal, and give health and family happiness. Later, Ilyin also came to faith. It is said that before acting in a new film, he visits the temple and asks the Lord for blessings.
Now the couple spends more time in their country house. Relatives and godchildren, of whom there are many, come to visit them. Famous actors give them their unspent, great parental love.
