Ответ: I was born in a small town on the Volga River. As a child, I was often ill and therefore did not like noisy games. I loved books. there was no local theater in the city, but when the Saratov theater came, I never missed the opportunity to see their performances. I loved the theater so much that I decided to become an actress after I graduated from high school. I participated in amateur performances several times during the holidays I went to Moscow to watch performances with the participation of such wonderful actors as Moskvin, Pashennaya, Kachalov, Ostuzhev, Tarasova. Finally, the day came when I first appeared on the stage of a real theater. I was so worried that I didn't notice the curtain go up. When I spoke, I didn't recognize my own voice. then the first act ended, and the curtain fell. I felt like I was crying because I was so upset: I thought I had played my part badly. They came up to me and asked me why I was crying. "can't you hear the audience applauding you? you played beautifully." At first I didn't believe it, but then my teacher, one of the oldest actors in the theater, came and said that he really liked my performance. the other actors came up to me and said that I had done my part well. It was the happiest day of my life.
