Ekaterina Vasilyeva has few main roles in the cinema. But almost any moviegoer older than middle age, almost without hesitation, will name half a dozen or even a dozen films with the participation of Vasilyeva. She's a very memorable actress.

Ekaterina Vasilyeva has few main roles in the cinema. But almost any moviegoer older than middle age, almost without hesitation, will name half a dozen or even a dozen films with the participation of Vasilyeva. She's a very memorable actress. And not only because of the extraordinary appearance, which, by the way, almost became an obstacle on the way to Catherine in the acting workshop. (“The girl is capable, but very ugly” – the teachers whispered at the acting department). And not even because most of her heroines are bright women with a strong character (although Atamansha from Bumbarash, even though she is the owner of a hat shop from Straw Hat, even Shamakhanskaya from the Straw Hat).
The Magicians Claire Tsakhanasian from The Lady’s Visit. There is something in her that does not allow you to be indifferent to either her characters or the actress herself. And even in the episodic role "she's a lot on the screen."
Ekaterina Vasilyeva was born on August 15, 1945 in Moscow in the family of the popular poet Sergei Vasilyev. Graduated from VGIK on the course Belokurova. Sergey Solovyov, who also studied at VGIK at the director's department and later became Catherine's first husband, later recalled her appearance at the university: very slim, very red, with a cigarette "Shipka" in her teeth - absolutely liberated and absolutely free. It was like that in life and in the movies.
Ekaterina Vasilyeva’s decision to go to the monastery came as a shock to theater fans, moviegoers, and many of those who knew her personally. Vasilyeva herself explained her departure from worldly life in various ways, but she often emphasized in interviews (of which more were taken from her at that time than ever) that theater, acting is a lie, an invented life, that it is very difficult for her to live such a life and she can no longer bear it.
But four years later, she returned to the stage and to the set, not breaking, however, with the church - she works as a treasurer in the temple of Sofia Wisdom of God. Her son Dmitry is a priest, her son Ekaterina Sergeevna calls nothing but “father” and says about herself that she is first of all a mother of a priest, and only then an actress. /
