By the way, she also voiced cartoons - in the voice of Ranevskaya, “the house-keeper” Freken Bock from the cartoon “The Kid and Carlson” says. The talent of the actress was highly appreciated during her lifetime (Ranevskaya was awarded three times to the Stalin prizes alone), but even more in the 21st century — many aphorisms of her authorship with the development of the Internet were widely accepted. Little is known about the personal life of the actress, but the phrase of Ranevskaya about the meaninglessness of the search for the second half, which ended with the statement “I’m originally whole”, is known. The actress died July 19, 1984 in Moscow at the 88th year of life.

Photo:Legion MediaThe personal life of one of the most popular singers of the Soviet stage (more than 8 million records with her songs alone were released) was eventful. Zykina first married at the age of 22 to Vladlen Pozdnov, an engineer at an automobile plant, her second husband was a photojournalist for the magazine "Soviet Warrior" Evgeny Svalov, her third was translator Vladimir Kotelkin, and her fourth was Viktor Gridin, a virtuoso accordionist.
