The heroines of this book are familiar even to people far from cinema and theater. They come to our home along with our favorite comedies, with films that we never tire of watching dozens of times. Rina Zelenaya, Tatyana Peltzer, Tamara Nosova, Anastasia Zueva, Irina Murzaeva, Inna Ulyanova... - no one took their throne as queens of laughter, and we never cease to admire their skills. What were they like in real life? Did they remind you of your screen or stage heroines? They all lived long and very difficult lives and can rightfully be called “great old women.”
