The famous trinity of favorite actors Vitsin - Nikulin - Morgunov was created by the wonderful director Leonid Gaidai, when he shot the “eternal” comedies: “Dog Barbos and the Extraordinary Cross”, “Moonshiners” (1962), “Operation “Y” (1965), “ Captive of the Caucasus" (1967). Many catchphrases from these films were born thanks to the humorous talent of the actors themselves. After Gaidaev's comedies, an avalanche of fame fell on them. Vitsin, Nikulin and Morgunov turned into national heroes, whom people associated with their characters: Coward, Dunce, Experienced. The author of this book, Laura Myagkova, collected the funniest episodes from the life of not only the famous trinity, but also their colleagues in the craft: Boris Andreev, Savely Kramarov, Georgy Millyar and others.

It didn’t give me anything, because, as I believe, this profession is received from the Lord God. If you are gifted, if you are born an actor, it cannot be taught. You can teach culture, art, literature. It is impossible to teach a profession. I learned this way: I went to the cinema, watched my favorite actors. My favorite actors are Louis de Funes and Fernandel. They were teachers for me. (Remark about studying at GITIS)
