Tatyana Ivanovna Peltzer... The main grandmother of the Soviet Union. Fame came to her late, on the threshold of her fiftieth birthday. But it's better late than never, right? In addition to her acting talent, Tatyana Peltzer had great worldly wisdom. She managed to do the incredible - she did not give in to the merciless time, but turned her age to her advantage. Few people succeed in this. The fate of the great actress is very interesting. Having started her acting career as a child, even before the revolution, Tatyana Peltzer twice tried to break away from the stage, but both times she returned, because the theater was her life. Being a truly theatrical actress, she became famous not on the stage, but on the screen. Few actors can boast of so many roles and not every actor is remembered decades after his departure. Did you know that Tatyana Peltzer could become a Soviet intelligence officer? And perhaps she wouldn’t have played in films then, but films would have been made about her. There were many blank spots in Tatyana Peltser’s life, especially in the first half of it. Andrei Shlyakhov spent more than three years collecting material for a book about his favorite actress in order to write such a detailed biography, from the pages of which the living Tatyana Ivanovna looks at us.
