Actress Lyudmila Arinina died

Soviet and Russian actress, Honored Artist of the RSFSR Lyudmila Arinina died at the age of 100, the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop reported.

“She left quietly, as she had lived in recent years - a recluse, far from cameras and noisy premieres. But behind this silence there was a huge life, which included a hungry childhood, war, late fame, and work with great masters,” the obituary says.

There will be no public farewell to the actress - she expressed such a desire in her will, Andrei Vorobyov, director of the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop, told TASS.

• Lyudmila Arinina was born on November 8, 1926 in the Saratov region. In 1944 she entered GITIS. “She made her film debut late, at 41, but played in more than 100 films. Her role was “a lonely woman with a difficult fate,” which partly coincided with the fate of the actress herself, who, despite everything, called herself a happy person,” the theater said.
• Over the years, Arinina served in the Chelyabinsk State Drama Theater, the Leningrad Komsomol Theater, the Ostrovsky Moscow Regional Drama Theater and the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop.
• Arinina is known for her roles in such films as “For the Rest of My Life” (1975), “Almost a Funny Story” (1977), “Fathers and Grandfathers” (1982), “Guest from the Future” (1984), “Remember Me Like This” (1987).
