Valentina Serova

Valentina Serova "( _ru. Валенти́на Васи́льевна Серо́ва)" (December 23 1917 - December 12 1975) was a Soviet film and theatre actress.

Life

Serova was born Valentina Polovikova "(Валентина Половикова)" in 1917 in Kharkov. In 1938, she married her first husband, Anatoli Serov, a Soviet Air Force general, a test and fighter pilot. In 1939 Anatoli Serov died in a crash testing a new plane. In the same year, her film "Devushka s harakterom" had a huge success and she became one of the biggest film stars of the Soviet Union. In 1940 she met Konstantin Simonov, a famous Soviet author, whom she married in 1943. Simonov's poem "Wait for me", one of the most famous Russian war poems, is dedicated to her. She subsequently inspired a series of love poems, collected as "With you and without you" ("С тобой и без тебя"). Their relationship was a troubled one; her 1942-1946 affair with marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky was widely known. Simonov left her in 1957. Her career declined after the 1940s. She died in Moscow in 1975.
