For some time he and her mother lived in the village of Krasny Liman, which was 60 kilometers from Voronezh.

The mother of the future actress, Vera Ivanovna Kutepova, worked as a zemstvo doctor. She gave her daughter an unusual name: translated from Georgian, means “violet”. In childhood, Iya Savvina was 5 years old when the Great Patriotic War began. Her father, Sergey Gavrilovich Savvin, went to the front, and later sent a letter to Vera Ivanovna, in which he asked not to wait for him - he fell in love with another woman.

Iya heavily survived her father's betrayal. Many years later, when Iya became a famous actress, he showed up on the threshold of her house, but reconciliation did not work out. She drove him back, shouting after: “Father is not the one who gave birth, but the one who raised! The little Iya with her father according to the memoirs of the actress, her mother was such a unique doctor that when the plane crashed near them during the war near them, she herself had an operation to the pilot and saved his life.

During the war, Voronezh was practically destroyed, the evacuation of the civilian population began. Iya Savvina remembered a terrible moment for life, when fascist planes began to shoot a convoy, in which at that time, along with her fellow villagers, Iya and her mother were traveling. Subsequently, Vera Ivanovna got married again, and the stepfather replaced her father.

He was a military man, so the family often moved. So, when she went to grade 4, the family moved to the village of Borinskoye [now it is the Lipetsk region, and at that time it belonged to the Voronezh region - approx. Iya Savvina in his youth, a frequent change of schools did not prevent the girl from studying well. She was an exemplary pioneer, adored Mayakovsky and always fought for the truth.

She was engaged in initiative, for all the holidays, the school forces in the village arranged concerts in which she was happy to participate. Others said to Vera Ivanovna: "Iechka will be an artist." But a woman. In the year, Iya Savvina graduated from a school with a gold medal in the year. In Voronezh, officials from education did not burn the desire to give a schoolgirl from the village of Honored Medal.

After that, the girl still received a gold medal. I read the youth with young nails, so after graduation, she decided to enter the Faculty of Philology of Moscow State University. When she arrived to submit documents, it turned out that the reception of medalists was already completed at this faculty, and the exams had to be taken in a general manner.

It was scary to take the exams, so the girl submitted documents to the Faculty of Journalism, since the reception of the medalists did not end there. Juable was credited and allocated a room in a hostel, in which 10 people lived with her. During her studies, Savvina was engaged in the student theater of Moscow State University.

The actress’s career began with his stage. The graduation of Moscow State University in the year coincided with the production of the play “Such Love” by the Polish playwright Pavel Kawut. The director became Roland Antonovich Bykov, who gave the girl a role in the play. The heroine of AI Savvina in “such love” turned out to be so sincere and real that Alexey Batalov once came to watch, could not fail to notice a talented actress with an angelic appearance and a delicate voice.

At the birthday of Rolan Bykov - and Iya was among the guests - Alexei Batalov asked the girl if she wanted to star in the cinema. To which she honestly answered: "No." But Batalov continued to persuade and said that this would be a film adaptation of the Chekhov “Lady with a Dog”. Before the name of her favorite classic, Savvin could not resist. Iya Savvina in the film “Lady with a Dog” Acting Career Alexei Vladimirovich Batalov, approved for the role of Dmitry Gurov, came to the director of the film Joseph Efimovich Heifitsa and said that he found a “lady with a dog” for him.

Having met Iya personally, the director agreed with Batalov. As the actress later admitted: I did not even understand that it was a movie. The main thing is that this is a "lady with a dog"! First frame: passage. I was not worried at all terribly, when in the heat of 35 degrees, Spitz began to rage and climb under all the shops, and I can’t keep it! Aleksei Batalov, who calmed the dog, helped to get out of the situation.

Iya Savvina was delighted with the filming and the creative group, and after the release of the picture in the year, spectators and film critics were the same delight. It was decided to present the film "Lady with a Dog" at the 13th International Cannes Film Festival, at which the actress received a special prize for the role of Anna Sergeyevna. After success, the artist was invited to the Mossovet Theater, where Faina Georgievna Ranevskaya played at that time.

The young actress was initially disliked. But Ranevskaya took Savvin under her wing, and soon displeased whispers fell silent. The actresses had a friendship, which lasted until the end of the life of Faina Georgievna. In this theater, Iya Savvina played up to a year.During the service, it was busy in the performances “Leningradsky Prospekt”, “Strange Mrs. Savage”, “Petersburg Dreams”.

In the youth of acting, Iya Savvina did not have AI Savvina, but she was very lucky at “real people” nearby: this is my school, this is mine. I have no theater education. And therefore, my whole school is the people with whom I met: Bykov, Kheifitz Moskvin Andrei Nikolaevich, recognized as the best operator of the world in the year. And, of course, Alexei Vladimirovich Batalov in the year was released by Andrei Konchalovsky’s film “The History of Asi Klyachina, who loved and did not marry,” in which Iya Savvina appeared in the role of Asi Chromonozhka.

The frame from the film “Two Comrades served” from the software took part in the voicing of the animated film “Vini-Pooh”-the Piglet says her voice. This is the famous surgeon in “Every day of Dr. Kalinnikova”, and the school head teacher in the “Diary of the principal of the school”, and the scientist-microbiologist in the “Open Book”, and a member of the board of the garage cooperative in the Garage, she embodied the image of a Russian woman in all her mortgages.

Oleg Nikolaevich Efremov for many years became for her not only the artistic director, but also the man she admired. She never agreed to a role if she believed that the character in the script is shown incorrectly or is it not her heroine. When Andrei Konchalovsky almost 30 years after the release of the film about Asya Klyachin decided to make a sequel and sent the scenario of the future picture, she, having read it, flatly refused to act, as she believed that her heroine could not change so over the years.

Asya Klyachin and other roles of AI Savvina, the beginning of the 21st century, added to the filmmake of the great actress of the role in the drama of Kirill Serebrennikov “bed scenes”, Alexander Kasatkin’s melodrama “Listening to the silence” and a touching film about the friendship of the boy and the puppy “Do you hear me? The frame from the film “Listening to the Silence” The personal life of AI Savvina according to the memoirs of friends and associates in the workshop, Iya Savvina was a man who could not tolerate injustice in any form.

She was not afraid to say what she thinks, regardless of the ranks. Colleagues respected her and were afraid. And the actor and poet Valentin Gaft in one of the epigrams on the artist wrote: “All this is true, and not the enemies and not at all schizophrenia. Two dogs walked in Crimea: smaller - spitz, more - Iya. ” Gaft Iya Sergeevna was not offended by the epigrams. She really could have flared up for no reason, fixing the speech with obscene words, but at the same time she had an amazing sense of humor, love for people and mercy.

These qualities of her multifaceted nature have repeatedly helped her cope with life difficulties. And they were enough in her fate. The actress met Vsevolod Shestakov during her studies while studying at the university. He was 8 years older than AI Sergeyevna, headed the faculty of geology and played at the student theater of Moscow State University. In particular, in the very “such love” that became fateful for AI.

The actress married him. The boy suffered from Down syndrome. Doctors repeatedly suggested the actress to abandon the child, said that such children rarely live longer than 16 years, but she, who survived the betrayal of her father, did not even want to think about it. Iya Sergeevna did everything possible so that the boy could develop and live as an ordinary child, although in those years this was a real test, because society was far from so humane in relation to “special” children.

Iya Savvina and her son Sergey, her concern gave her results: although the development of the boy stopped at seven years, Sergey painted, read, wrote, played, played the piano and translated texts from the English language. He was a kind and smiling child, which remained until the end of his days. The son was her happiness and at the same time her pain. In the photo: Sergey Shestakov in the year, after 16 years of marriage, they finally broke up with Shestakov.

Vsevolod has long been tired of both the explosive character of the wife, and from the fact that the heart of AI completely belonged to Seryozha. In the year, Iya Savvina went on vacation to Solovki along with other actors. In the company, actor Anatoly Vasiliev was with them. They had a lot in common: both loved nature, the theater, both had disorder in their personal life.

He understood that she addresses the bursts of violent rage only to those who are truly dear to her, so he was not angry with her escapades. What will happen without me? Anatoly Vasiliev helped the actress take care of him. In addition to cinema and son, in the life of Savvina there were two passions: gardening and cooking. She proudly recalled the peasant origin and spent the whole summer in the beds in the country in Shchelykov, and all the fall made uplifts.

She cooked, according to the memoirs of loved ones, grandiosely, she could cook a dish from any world cuisine. She had a whole cabinet with culinary books, among which there were also rarities of the 19th century. She struggled for a long time with skin cancer, but did not refuse to addiction to cigarettes that destroyed her lungs, and alcohol. Until the last days, the actress was in demand in her profession, loved by her son, husband and spectators.
