Alexei Ivanovich Mironov in 1985 was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the RSFSR. Films with Mironov liked the audience both in Soviet times and in our days.
Childhood
Alexey Ivanovich was born in a small villageSlobodka Smolensk region in 1924, this joyful event in the family of the Mironovs occurred on January 3. Then the parents of a small Alyosha moved to Moscow and settled between the Yaroslavl market and Sokolniki on Malomoskovskaya Street. Since childhood, the boy has become fired by the desire to perform in front of the audience on stage, the impetus for this was the performance of a simple clown, who mixed visitors to the menagerie in the market.
Being a schoolboy, Alexei together with hisclassmate came up with and put the clownery, which was approved by the audience. Encouraged by such success, the guy actively acted on the stage of the school theater, then the actor's talent developed in the theater studio in the House of Pioneers. When they staged the play "Love Yarovaya," Alexei Mironov played in him the Tsar of Grozny himself.
Youth
Alyosha's youth was marred by war:at a time when the Germans attacked the Soviet Union, the boy was not yet 17 years old, for this reason, he was not taken to the front. Alexei Mironov did not accept the fact that he had to sit in the rear at a time when others were fighting in the front line. To be enrolled in the ranks of the Soviet Army, the future actor attributed himself 2 years and immediately fell into the very heat of battle. For four years, Mironov fought for his country, he reached Berlin himself, having risen to an officer's rank.
After the war, Alexei Ivanovich in Viennataught military science in the school of sergeants. When it came to the end of 1946, Mironov missed his native Moscow and, resigning from the Red Army, returned to the capital. Upon arrival in his hometown, the retired officer remembered the childhood dreams of an acting career and carried the documents to GITIS. With the receipt of problems was not, Alexei became a student and even received an increased scholarship.
Alexei Mironov - actor of the theater
It was not easy for Alexei to act as an actor, but hestubbornly walked forward. Studying in the third year, he already played on the stage of the Revolution Theater. A little later seriously engaged in directing and soon began to put his plays. Particularly successful was his production "Resurrection", but it did not reach a large audience, Mironov did not have a penetrating vein, he could not perseveringly promote his work. After many years of work in the theater, Aleksey Ivanovich was completely disappointed in theatrical life, he was much more attracted to the world of cinema, to which he devoted his whole life.
Movies with Mironov
To be photographed in cinema Alexey liked muchmore than playing on the stage. The first significant role in his life was the role of the drunkard Gusya in the painting "A simple story." With this work, the actor coped perfectly, his partner in the film was Nonna Mordyukova. After the release of the picture on the screens, Alexei Mironov did not feel a lack of proposals to withdraw. He was noticed and appreciated the actor's talent. Indeed, for the role of Gusya the artist was almost not makeup and was able to show the audience a funny simple little man in a cap who was constantly looking for where to drink. Alexei confessed that, working on this image, he took a lot from Chaplin.
After such a successful start Mironov every yearwas busy on the set. The actor was an ideal character, with his presence he brought a calm and peaceful atmosphere to the team, it was pleasant to work with him. Each role of Alexei Ivanovich was significant, although it was not considered the main one. Take, for example, the film "The meeting place can not be changed." Here the actor played a good-natured driver Kopytin. It would seem that the role is not noticeable, but the audience was very pleased with the calm and responsible driver, only thanks to his concerted actions, Zheglov and Sharapov managed to catch up with bandits from the gang "Black Cat" in a decrepit car.
Mironov's filmography is very large, all filmswe will not list them now. But still I would like to note the following pictures with the participation of this talented actor: "Dog Heart", "Business Trip", "Townspeople", "Small Devil", "Hippocratic Oath". "Light of the Moon" and "Wedding" - this is the last picture in which Alexei Mironov was occupied, she came out after the death of the actor.
Personal life
The first experience of family life for Mironov wasunsuccessful. He married in 1948 on the actress of the same theater, in which he worked himself. After six years together, Alex was transferred to the Murmansk theater, but his wife did not want to go with him. Soon she found another man and divorced her husband.
The second time the actor married a woman whoin no way related to the theater. Galina Anisimovna had several higher educations and was well versed in politics. The couple lived together for more than forty years. From the theater, the actor was given an apartment, the family lived quietly and peacefully. The wife gave her husband a son and daughter. Son Vladimir was educated in MIIT, and daughter Elena graduated from art school. Galina and Alexei have three grandchildren growing up.
Unfortunately, now the famous actor is not with us.In 1999, in November Mironov Alexey Ivanovich died. Very shortly before this sad date, the artist congratulated with the songs and dances of police officers on their professional holiday. Until the last moment, Mironov led an active lifestyle, appreciating every day he lived. The Moscow police took over the bulk of the organization of the funeral of "the old man Kopytin", a talented actor was conducted on the last path with all the honors.
