Alisa Freundlich remains one of the most mysterious actresses. On December 8, she celebrated her 87th birthday. The star of “Office Romance”, “Three Musketeers” and “Straw Hat” could have played the main role in “The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!”
Earlier there was a version that this was prevented by members of the art council, who allegedly did not like Freundlich’s tests. But as told “Komsomolskaya Pravda St. Petersburg” daughter of Eldar Ryazanov, in fact, Freundich received a refusal from the director himself.
“Father was not satisfied that Soviet actresses were not able to portray love so subtly as foreign women were, they were simply not adapted to this. So dad was not happy with the result of all the tests – including Alisa Freundlich’s, ”said Olga Ryazanova.
But in “Office Romance” Ryazanov invited Freundlich without samples.
“In the meantime, it was completely unthinkable! Artistic councils demanded that for any role – and even more so for the main one, which was performed by Alice – there should be at least two candidates, and ideally three or four. But Eldar Aleksandrovich at that time had such fame, he was so loved by both the audience and the leadership that they met him halfway, “said the actress Svetlana Nemolyaeva.
Let’s add, On December 26, Alisa Freundlich can again be seen in the play “Excitement”, which was specially staged for her by the playwright Ivan Vyrypaev.
