Over the 88 years of her creative life, Faina Ranevskaya said a lot of interesting, funny, subtle, and heartfelt things. Her aphorisms, jokes, anecdotes and everyday stories are relevant to this day. Successful jokes were often attributed to Ranevskaya, but there is no confirmation of this authorship. As she herself liked to say: “...I am undeservedly credited with borrowing from such authors as Mark Twain, Bernard Shaw, Tristan Bernard, Konstantin Melikhan and even Aesop and Aristotle. This, of course, is flattering to me, and therefore I also thank them, especially Aristotle and Aesop.” One phrase from Faina Georgievna can set the tone for the whole day! You can read endlessly about this wonderful actress - you will either be very sad, or incredibly funny, but never bored!
