“Jolly Fellows”, “Circus”, “Volga-Volga”, “Shining Path”, “Spring” - these films, once seen, will never be forgotten. They provided their main character, Lyubov Orlova, with a “pass to eternity.” But they embodied not only the brilliant talent of the actress, but also the talent of her husband, the outstanding director of world cinema Grigory Alexandrov. Together they walked a long, bright path of forty-two years of happiness. The book was written by a person who knew Lyubov Orlova closely - her great-niece, the famous theater critic and playwright Nonna Golikova. The reader follows the actress’s childhood and teenage years, her studies at the conservatory, the beginning of her theatrical career, and finally her meeting with G. Alexandrov, which changed not only her life, but also her appearance. And then the story goes on about the established creative union, thanks to which films appeared that were included in the golden fund of the art of cinema. The author also talks about meetings with L. Utesov, F. Ranevskaya, R. Zelena, I. Dunaevsky and many others. A special place in the book is occupied by Orlova’s theatrical roles, which have become a real cultural phenomenon of Russian theater.
