It is impossible to recognize “kikimora”.
The main villain of the fairy tale “Morozko” was the stepmother performed by Vera Altaiskaya. The actress brilliantly coped with the roles of witches, kikimors and other evil spirits – this is how the audience remembered her. Few people know what Altai looked like in her youth.
Vera Vladimirovna began her career in the late 30s. One of the first works of the actress was the role in the film “The Great Account”. It is impossible to recognize the evil old woman from Morozko in the young Altaiskaya: curly hair, pretty face, thin eyebrows, perky look. In addition, the actress had a unique innate feature – different eyes. One was green and the other brown. But it is impossible to see this “highlight” in the photo and video because of the black and white film.
The unique witching appearance of Vera Vladimirovna was complemented by a caustic character. The charismatic actress was noticed and began to be filmed. Everything went fine: Altai received roles and built a personal life. The chosen one of the actress was her colleague Alexei Konsovsky, known as the prince from the cult Cinderella. But years later, the life of Vera Vladimirovna went downhill.
Due to her quarrelsome nature, they stopped filming her, and her husband left the family – the reason for this was Altaiskaya’s alcoholism. The actress died at the age of 59.
