Leah Ionovna Gurova
She was born on September 8, 1931 in the village of 2nd Grachevka, Dolzhansky district, Orel region.
Her mother was a simple village woman who raised four children. With the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, Gurov went into evacuation, to the Krasnodar Territory, to the city of Labinsk, where the Germans overtook them. Wanting to protect the children from the German massacre, the mother changed all the children's names and years of birth. So Liya Ionovna Gurova born in 1931 became Lilia Ivanovna Gurova born in 1933, and she learned about it only in 1972.
In 1952, she entered the VGIK, the studio of Julia Raisman, graduating from which in 1957, was accepted into the staff of the film studio “Lenfilm” and the film actor’s studio, where she worked until 1990.
She started acting in films while studying at the institute. Yuli Yakovlevich Raizman, her teacher, invited the young student to play a small role of Marya Stepanovna in his film “Life Lesson”, and then approved her for the role of Frosi in the film “Communist”, but this work has not taken place.
Later, the actress starred in more than 70 films, performing small lyrical and characteristic roles. Lilia Ivanovna always endowed her heroines with softness, warmth and charm, forcing the viewer to empathize with herself.
In the late 50s, at one of the voiceovers, Lilia Gurova met with actor Nikolai Kryukov, with whom she soon began a friendly relationship. At that time, Nikolai Nikolaevich was married, he had a son, and Lilia Ivanovna had a fiancé. In 1960, Kryukov and Gurova married and lived together for 33 years, until the death of Nikolai Nikolaevich.
After the death of her husband, Lilia Gurova left St. Petersburg and lived in the country for ten years with her mother, who died in 2003 at the age of 95.
Having buried her mother, Lilia Gurova returned to St. Petersburg and to the profession, delighting the audience with new works in cinema.
