Biography of Natalia Khorokhorina
Natalia Khorokhorina, a renowned Russian actress, was born on May 5, 1954, in the Moscow region, Russia. Her parents were simple people from the Tambov province who had no connection to the theater. However, her love for acting was ignited by her teacher, who frequently took her to Moscow to watch theater performances. Inspired by her experiences, Natalia decided to pursue a career in acting.
Early Life and Education
Growing up in a small village in the Moscow region, Natalia had a rural childhood filled with games, trips to the forest for mushrooms, and a strong passion for the theater. After completing school, she joined the theater studio at the Palace of Pioneers in Lenin Hills. Determined to pursue acting, Natalia applied to the Shchukin Theatre School, but due to a mix-up with her documents, she ended up at the Shchepkin Theatre School instead, where she completed her studies in 1976.

Following her graduation, Natalia Khorokhorina began her acting career in theaters such as the Moscow Chamber Troupe, Theater Kovcheg, and eventually the Moscow Sphere Theater.

In 1977, Natalia starred in the legendary Soviet action film "Pirates of the 20th Century," which unexpectedly became a cult classic. She played the role of Masha, a crew member of a Soviet cargo ship captured by pirates. Her performance in the film showcased her dedication, as she agreed to realistic physical scenes, resulting in bruises on her back.
