The performer of the role of Shurik in the legendary Gaidai film “Operation “Y” was born in May 1937 in the city of Sverdlovsk. Since childhood, he was in love with the theater and planned to follow in the footsteps of his father-artist.
In high school, Alexander studied German in depth. Dreaming of the stage, Demyanenko enrolled in a theater club and music school. In 1954, he failed the exams at the Moscow Art Theatre and entered the Sverdlovsk Law Institute. Six months later, the young man dropped out of school, went to the capital and became a student of GITIS.
In the second year Demyanenko got a role in the drama
Wind (1959). It was a great start for an intelligent dreamer: the audience drew attention to the debutante, directors Alexander Alov and others.
Caucasian captive " (1966) and "Ivan Vasilyevich changes profession" (1973) brought the actor great success, but Alexander worried that he was offered the same type of roles. To rectify the situation helped projects on television, theatrical events, voiceover of foreign films. The lull in the mid-90s was associated with the change of director at the Akimov Comedy Theater. Tatiana Kazakova did not plan to cooperate with Alexander Demyanenko. After slamming the door, the actor went to the Comedian's Shelter.
In 1999, Demyanenko began to have heart problems. The operation was planned to be carried out on August 23, but the People's Artist of the RSFSR died the day before the surgery.
