"Fallen women, but the real ones." Semyna made a confession on her birthday
On October 25, People’s Artist of Russia Tamara Semina turned 88 years old

- Stunned today from the calls, admitted Tamara Semina, when the correspondent of "MK" called to congratulate the actress on her birthday. - It's great that you called, - added Tamara Petrovna, - and today I boast to everyone that I now have two eights. I recently got a call from a famous artist who started to lament his age. “Tomochka, I am 80 years old today,” he said in a sad voice. “My God, it is so necessary to rejoice and celebrate that he lived to these years,” I replied, advising him to put the eight in his mind on the table. You see, I tell him, there is a sign of infinity on the table. Eight is a lucky number, so don't whine! After talking to me, my friend immediately got in a good mood. How else is that?! Life does not like those who complain about it.
What is your most important wish today?
- I'm not going to say what I want, because you're going to start fooling yourself, thinking about what to do for me. No way! I'm just asking you to keep your calls as long as possible, okay?
- All right, thank you for your creativity. It got you on the set in the film “Mother of man” you go into the icy river, in “Fortress actress” freezes in the cold in capron stockings, in “Eternal call” you ants ate and cold pestered.
In The Eternal Call, I had loads of snow when I ran around the platform looking for my Kiryan. Anfisa in such a way that she endured cold, wanted to atone for the guilt before her husband, whom she cheated on. One of the erotic scenes was filmed on an anthill. The cameraman found the best spot to shoot. Director Vladimir Krasnopolsky constantly forced to rehearse, and rehearse, until he lay down on this anthill. Volodechka, you lie down here yourself, you will feel how sweet it is for us, I suggested to Krasnopolsky. Now it's funny, then it was terrible! These ants have penetrated everywhere, spread throughout the body. Vadik Spiridonov, a bright memory of him, who played Fyodor Savelyev, was still in pants, and I was in a skirt... They didn't wear jeans back then. Do you think it was nice?!
But your Anfisa Inyutina did not leave anyone indifferent. Your photos were on family albums, you know that?
- Yeah, I know, of course... People still thank me for this role! At one of the creative meetings, I received an extraordinary gift. The audience brought it to me directly on stage. The masters made a statuette on the theme of the meeting of Anfisa and Kiryan at the station. Anfisa lies at Kiryan's feet and embraces him. The auditorium stood up and applauded me. I'm pissed off by this scene, even men cry when Anfisa hugs her husband. "I found you anyway," my Anfiska tells Kiryan. Here they are, standing on my window. And do you know why the viewer loved my Anfisa and Katyusha Maslova from Resurrection? They're fallen women, but I really did. You never have to pretend, you just have to live.
What material is the statue made of?
- I can't say, but she's beautiful. Look, okay, I'm gonna pay you myself
- Tamara Petrovna, do not be upset, please stay with us as long as possible.
- My dear, I don't mind being with you in this world. I take all good wishes and thank you. Don't forget me.
