A monologue about the Gaft.
Valentin Iosifovich Gaft can rightly be called a favorite of the public.
He is loved by everyone, from young to old, his roles in theater and cinema are familiar to the childhood of more than one generation of spectators.
Now you can hardly believe that one of the greatest actors of the modern cinema has not been accepted for many years, and work in theaters was completely chaotic.
In the cinema, Gaft was offered episodic or less expressive roles, until the late 60's he did not have bright, memorable images, and in theaters he did not did not get accustomed, in many respects due to an impetuous, stormy nature, and he came and went, replacing many outstanding creative collectives, such as the Theater the Moscow City Council, the Satire Theater, the Moscow Drama Theater and Lenkom, until he found a home in Sovremennik.
The fragments of feature films and TV shows only partially illustrate the bright and multifaceted career of the actor: "Tanya" (1974, directed by AV Efros), "Murder on the street Dante "(1956, directed by MI Romm)," Othello "(1978, directed by AV Efros)," Just a few words in honor of M. de Moliere "(1973, directed by AV Efros), "Hello I'm your aunt!" (1975, Rogeser VA Titov), "Balalaikin and K" (1973, directed by GA Tovstonogov), "Who is afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (1992, directors VVFokin, RGBalayan), "From the Notes of Lopatin" (1975, directed by IARayhelgauz).
