Beauty is a subjective concept, however, some celebrities are regularly ranked as the most beautiful people in the world, while others are the ugliest. There were women in Soviet cinema who were never considered to be beautiful. But this did not stop them from gaining popular love and becoming incredibly successful in their profession.

Faina Ranevskaya

Faina Ranevskaya is a legendary actress with an incredibly sharp tongue and sparkling humor

The legendary Soviet actress Faina Ranevskaya compensated for the lack of attractiveness with her sparkling humor and incredible talent. The role of the evil stepmother in the film "Cinderella", the speculator of Queen Margot in the film "Easy Life" and other magnificent characters in the famous Soviet films gave Ranevskaya national love. Few people do not know her famous phrase "Mulia, don't make me nervous!" from the movie "Foundling". Ranevskaya was dearly loved by the audience, but she never became a wife and mother. According to the actress, her personal life was ruined by her appearance.

Inna Churikova

Not being the standard of female beauty, Churikova became an example of human dignity and acting talent

The audience could not tear themselves away from the acting game of Inna Churikova. The actress woke up famous after the release of the fairy tale film "Morozko", in which Churikova played Marfusha. And serious roles in the films "Vassa" and "Inception" gave the actress national love. Churikova received letters in which envious people laughed at her appearance. But the mother of the actress from childhood told her daughter that she was a beauty, so Churikova withstood the period of persecution against her. The actress has never been the standard of beauty, but her talent was appreciated both in Russia and abroad. Churikov's personal life also worked out well - all her life she was married to director Gleb Panfilov.

Leah Akhedzhakova

Liya Akhedzhakova in Soviet cinema was considered a characteristic actress

The appearance of Liya Akhedzhakova was far from the recognized standards of female beauty, nevertheless, her acting career was very successful. Initially Akhedzhakova worked in the Youth Theater in the role of drag queen. But already the first role of the actress in the film "Looking for a Man" was noted not only in the USSR, but also abroad. Despite the fact that Akhedzhakova was not considered a beauty, she got the role of a stylish coquette Vera in the film "Office Romance". And the actress was not deprived of male attention - Akhedzhakova got married three times.

Ekaterina Vasilieva

Thanks to her talent, Ekaterina Vasilyeva never suffered from a lack of roles

Ekaterina Vasilieva never suffered from a lack of roles. The actress was distinguished by her great talent and began acting at the age of 20. Any Hollywood star would have envied Vasilyeva's popularity. VGIK teachers noted the talent of the actress, but believed that she was "worse than Ranevskaya." But the men went crazy with Vasilyeva. The actress was married twice, and the second husband left his wife on the second day after meeting Vasilyeva.

Tatiana Vasilieva

The legendary actress cannot be called an enchantress, but it is easy to imagine a woman who knows her own worth.

Tatiana Vasilyeva in her youth did not consider herself a beauty and because of this she was ashamed to be an actress. But thanks to her temperament and talent, the audience loved her. Vasilyeva could not be called an electoral actress, since she often starred in not the best films. Nevertheless, she has had no end of offers for more than 40 years. In her personal life, Vasilyeva also worked out well - the actress was married twice, and her spouses were no less popular artists.

Alisa Freundlich

Alisa Freundlich has forever become in the minds of a post-Soviet person the embodiment of "our mymry" from "Office Romance"

Many will disagree that Alisa Freundlich is an ugly actress. However, for many years she got small roles, and all because the directors did not consider her attractive. In the film "Office Romance" Eldar Ryazanov turned Freundlich into a beauty from "mymry", after which her career went uphill. In the theater Freundlich had to play beauties, for example, Marie Antoinette and Eliza Doolittle.

Rina Zelyonaya

Rina Zelenaya secretly regretted that she was not born beautiful

Rina Zelyonaya was not a beauty, but she did not lack male attention. She has been married to her second husband for 40 years. The actress herself did not like to talk about her appearance. Once Boris Efimov drew a cartoon of Rina Zelyonaya, after which she was mortally offended by the artist. And going on stage, the actress presented herself as a tall, attractive blonde. There is another interesting fact: the actress took her beautiful friend with her on dates, but forbade her to paint her lips and ordered her to rub her nose red.

Tatiana Dogileva

In all her roles, Tatyana Dogileva is incredibly organic

Since childhood, Tatyana Dogileva considered herself ugly, but talented. As a schoolgirl, the actress tried to enter a circus school, but she did not succeed. Then she heard that they spoke of her as an ugly girl. Later, directors often refused the actress because of her appearance. Nevertheless, thanks to her roles in the films "Pokrovskie Vorota", "The Blonde Around the Corner" and other films, the actress became popular and beloved by the audience.

Elena Mayorova

Mayorova had a difficult appearance for a movie, but her play fascinated the audience

Elena Mayorova had an atypical appearance for a movie, but a mesmerizing game made her in demand in the profession. Popularity brought her roles in the films "Makarov" and "Lost in Siberia". The actress was married twice, but she had no children. At the age of 39, the talented actress passed away. The official version said that this happened as a result of an accident, but some believed that Mayorova committed suicide.

Rimma Markova

Whoever Markova played, it was primarily a strong woman

Rimma Markova never considered herself a beauty. Because of this, she did not show her sympathy for the opposite sex. In life and in the frame, the actress was a strong and harsh woman. She always told people what she thought of them. Thanks to the talent, the actress had no end of proposals. Even playing a cameo role, Markova graced the film.

These actresses have proven that you don't have to be a dazzling beauty to play in movies. The viewer always feels fake, therefore it is possible to achieve national recognition only thanks to the talent and skill of reincarnation in the frame. The example of these actresses confirms that you can fall in love with millions of people without having a standard beauty.
