Faina Ranevskaya: The Fate of a Whore

Faina Ranevskaya. A great actress and a scandalous personality, a caustic lady with a sparkling sense of humor and a philosopher with a cigarette in her mouth... She was feared and idolized, people sought meetings with her and avoided her. It was too frightening to be in the place of a person skewered by the needle of her aphoristic resolutions. But few knew that within the extraordinary personality lay a terribly lonely and sensitive soul...

What she was like in life, how her creative fate unfolded, and what really happened can only be told by her from the pages of that book she never wrote...
