Varley is a Welsh surname inherited by Natalya Vladimirovna from her ancestors who owned a stud farm and moved from Great Britain to Russia. Both paternal ancestors, brothers, were married to Russian women. However, on her mother's side, Natalya Varley, whose biography and personal life were known to every Soviet film lover, was partly French and always said that a cocktail of different bloods flowed in her veins.

Childhood of the actress

The biography and personal life of Natalia Varley began in the Romanian Constanta, and continued in Murmansk, but the constant moving did not end there. Natalya's father, Vladimir Viktorovich Varley, who graduated from the Higher Naval School in Sevastopol, and then served in the Black Sea and Pacific Fleets, studied at the Academy in Leningrad, and recently worked in leadership positions in Murmansk.

Mother, Ariadna Sergeevna, was the granddaughter of a famous mining engineer of French origin, in marriage she gave birth to two girls - Natalia and Irina. Irina, the youngest of her daughters, now works in the State Archives, and Natalya became the idol of millions of Soviet viewers, played the main roles in cult Soviet films, which are still being reviewed with great pleasure.

From childhood it was clear that nature endowed the girl with all-round abilities, but at the same time deprived her of her health - the diagnosed rheumatic heart disease became the reason for the ban on attending physical education lessons with classmates. But Natasha painted beautifully, wrote poetry and studied music. Her sister also dreamed of a career as an artist and studied at an art school.

With age, the disease passed, and Natalia's creative career began from the moment she decided to enter the circus school. This was after the family moved to Moscow. After graduating from the secondary educational institution of circus art. M. N. Rumyantsev, she received the specialty of an equilibrist artist and even performed in the same number with the famous clown Yengibarov, thanks to whom she began to act in films.

Cinematography - difficulties and luck

It is difficult to find a Soviet person who does not know who Natalya Varley is. The biography and personal life of the star of the national cinema are closely connected with the Odessa film studio. Georgy Yungvald-Khilkevich was her leading director and at the same time a friend of Natalia's partner in a circus act. So Natasha received an invitation to a cameo role in his film "Formula of the Rainbow".

The role played did not become a special discovery, like the satirical comedy itself, but on the set Natalya Vladimirovna was seen by the assistant of the famous Leonid Gaidai. Having bypassed five hundred applicants for the role of Nina in the "Caucasian Captive", Varley immediately became enchantingly popular, received not just a role, but her business card, by which several generations of film and television viewers know her.

Only true admirers of her talent knew that she continued self-realization in all aspects of natural giftedness:

• continued to work as a balancing act in the Moscow circus;
• studied at the Shchukin Theater School and at the Moscow Literary Institute;
• recorded a disc on which there are songs written by Nikolai Shershn on her own verses;
• dubbed films and TV series;
• played in the theater. Stanislavsky and in the private "Empire of Stars";
• wrote an autobiography and took part in television projects;
• published poetry collections (so far there are 4);
• took part in the political life of the country.

Numerous roles in cinema were diverse, but mostly episodic. An indisputable success can be considered the role of Pannochka in the film adaptation of Gogol's story "Viy".

Varley herself considered the role of Nazi in "Livna" and Tanya in "Solo for an elephant with an orchestra" to be good. The rest of the characters, although skillfully played, remained almost invisible. In the harsh 90s, the main activity was the voice acting of foreign films.

None of her roles became as memorable as the Komsomol member Nina, although Natalya Vladimirovna played diverse characters - performers in musical ensembles, saleswomen and doctors, mothers and evil sorceresses. However, in comparison with the filmographies of actresses less known to the Soviet audience, the list of her roles cannot be called too long and significant.

Exceptional beauty

The biography and personal life of Natalia Varley was determined not only by her all-round talent - the ability to transform, literary gift, mastery of body and voice, but also beauty. The famous Robertino Loretti admitted on a TV show that he dreamed of marrying her when he was at a young age.

The beautiful girl had no end to her fans, and at the age of 20 she married Nikolai Burlyaev. Numerous famous friends, including Mikhail Zadornov, dissuaded her from this step. The marriage lasted a year and was childless. The official reason for the divorce was Burlyaev's departure to the Theater. Lenin Komsomol.

The second husband was Vladimir Tikhonov, the son of Nonna Mordyukova and Vyacheslav Tikhonov. This time the marriage broke up due to the spouse's addiction to drugs, although it lasted 7 years. In it, Natalya Vladimirovna had two boys - Vasily and Alexander. The first had practically nothing to do with the world of art (he has a grandson who works in a hotel in Italy). The second became a famous film director and screenwriter.

According to some reports, Alexander is not the son of Tikhonov, but the child of a famous Uzbek actor. This boy is the result of a short romance during the filming of the movie "Roads of Fire".

There was also a third husband, a builder by profession (according to another version, the owner of a construction business), about whom practically nothing is known. Now Varley lives in complete solitude. Her only friends and interlocutors are cats. In some printed publications, according to the words of "well-wishers", other love affections are also mentioned - for example, the little-known singer Alexei Zardinov, with whom Natalya even sang a romantic song in a duet.
