She had a difficult, but very happy personal life. She fed everyone around her with her energy, her good nature. She was an artist from the Moscow Art Theater by definition, she knew the secrets of the art of this great theater. Her whole appearance, her whole worldview resisted death. This is extremely unfair, because she passed away a woman, comparatively by our times, not old. She could play and play, and to please all of us. I just loved her very much and with great tenderness. And her departure, of course, is a huge loss, «Shared Shvydkoy.
