Lionella Pyreva (née Skirda) was born on March 15, 1938 in Moscow. She studied at the State Institute of Theatre Art and graduated in 1961. Then she was admitted to the Stanislavsky Theatre. She worked in this theater for 3 years, and in 1964 she changed it to a theater studio. Lionella made her film debut in 1961 in the film Free Wind. She was entrusted with a small role. After that, she starred in the films “Shot in the fog”, “Melodies of Dunaevsky”. But it wasn’t until 1964 that she finally got the lead role in The Light of a Distant Star.
The director of this film was Ivan Pyryev. He was 37 years older than Lionella and married for the second time. His relationship with his wife was very complicated. Lionella did not fail to take advantage of this. She was not confused by the age difference or the past of the director. She married him in 1967. At the same time, the director began to film Dostoevsky’s novel The Brothers Karamazov. The main role there, of course, went to his wife. But Ivan Pyryev could not finish shooting. He died in the winter of 1968. The film was completed by the actors who played the main roles.
Lyonella Pyreva soon after the death of her husband married a second time. Now her chosen one was the popular actor Oleg Strizhenov. According to her, she had feelings for him since childhood. It's a very strange coincidence, by the way. The actress was Pyriev’s third wife, and this time became Strizhenov’s third wife.
In 1969, her acting career joined the role in an adventure film.
"Dangerous touring" . Then came the detective "Master of the taiga." After filming in these films, Lyonella disappeared from the screens for a long time. Almost nothing has been heard of her. Only a few years later, she played several roles, among which were the main ones, for example, in “Not Disclosed”.
