Early life

Valentina Talyzina was born on 22 January 1935, in Omsk. Valentina's father was Illarion (Ильшат) Grigorievich Talyzin, a Russified Tatar, and her mother was Anastasia (Асылгюль) Trifonovna Talyzina. When Valentina Talyzina was an infant, her family moved to Baranavichy.[2][5]

Between 1952 and 1954, Talyzina studied at the Omsk Agricultural Institute.[1]

She made her film debut in 1963 in the detective film The Man who Doubts, where she played the role of Inna. But, it wasn’t until the late 1960s that she began to actively act in film. One of her first big acting successes was the role of Nadya in the adventure film Road to Saturn.[6]

Valentina Talyzina had a minor role in the film The Irony of Fate and also dubbed over major character Nadia because her regular actress, Barbara Brylska, had an obvious Polish accent.[1]

In March 2014, Talyzina signed a letter in support of the controversial 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea.[8] As a result, she was banned from entering Ukraine along with many other Russian artists and entertainers.[9] In 2023, she stated her support for the infamous Russian invasion of Ukraine in an interview; during this, she also made several anti-semitic statements.[10]
