Don't be sad!

Who doesn't know Shurochka from E. Ryazanov's film "Office Romance"? And Klavdiya Matveyevna from G. Bezhanova's film "The Most Charming and Attractive" with her immutable phrase "Perseverance and initiative in the most, seemingly, hopeless situations!"? And although her characters were not the main ones, it was precisely such roles that made Lyudmila Ivanova a beloved actress among the people.
She was, like F. Ranyevskaya and R. Zelena, the "queen of episodes," bringing mischievous, cheerful notes to any performance or film. The images she created were instantly memorable and left no one indifferent.
In this book, the actress talks about her work in the theater "Contemporary," where she acted for almost sixty years, about her life and unique family, about famous actors, and about her teaching and directing activities.
