In the piggy bank, Dodo Chogovadze is not as many roles, but she still managed to leave the mark in the hearts of the connoisseurs of Soviet cinema. The woman entered the history of art as a living embodiment of the princess Boudo from the film on the fairy tale about Aladdin.Childhood and youth
Dodo Chogovadze appeared on February 1, 1951 in Tbilisi. The bright appearance of the celebrity is the result of the fact that the blood flows the blood of representatives of Georgian and Russian nationalities in its veins.
Girl's parents were far from the world of art: Dad worked as an agronomist, Mom led a household. But it did not interfere with a little Dodo to engage in creativity, because in the early years of the biography of her dance talent was discovered.
So Chogovadze was in the Tbilisi Choreographic School, where Vakhtang Chabukiani became her teacher. He was fascinated by the abilities of the young pupil and propheted her the glory of the Great Dancers, but the fate was different.
Personal life
First love found Choghogowadze on the set - she had warm feelings to the artist-director Konstantin Zagorsk. Due to the difference in the age of the novel, there could be no speech, and all this remained teenage love.Later, the woman married the musician David Shushanin, who gave birth to a daughter Nino. But the marriage did not work out due to the jealousy of the spouse, who sought to limit the freedom of the disclosure, forbade her to film and play the theater. Despite the divorce, they continued to meet for another 10 years, while the actress did not solve the final gap. After that, she never agreed his personal life.
Films
Another baby Dodo began to film - she was invited to small roles in films. And at 10 years old, she embodied the main character of the "Little Knights" paintings, telling about schoolchildren who make good deeds on the summer vacation.
In subsequent years, the fragile and graceful girl invariably fascinated the director's assistants who came to the school in search of young talents. It happened with the Assistant of Stanislav Rostotsky, who just conducted a casting for the role of Bail for the film "Hero of Our Time".
After the preliminary selection, the actress went to Moscow along with Mom to personally meet the director. He was already ready to approve her for a role, but at the last moment decided to learn about age and was horrified when he heard that the girl was 13. Erotic scenes were present in the picture, and this could be fraught with the criminal prosecution for the plant of juvenile.
Therefore, shooting did not take place, but for a long time without work, Dodo did not sit. Soon she was again invited to samples, this time for the fabulous tape "The Magic Lamp of Aladdin", which Boris Knightarev took off. The director did not immediately determine the candidate on the role of the main character - the princes of the BURU, but in the end he preferred Choghogowee. Remembering the bitter experience of the interview, Mom Dodo went to the trick and added daughters a year, saying that she would soon be 16.
The deception was revealed already in the midst of work, and by the fault of the dodo itself. At the celebration of his birthday, she broke out of shame, because of what the entire film crew was comforted. I did not change the actress, because the only "adult" scene in the plot was a kiss with the performer of the role of Aladdin Boris Fastrov, however, and he failed due to the inexperience of the girl.
For misses, Choghogowadze did not scold, on the contrary, supported the entire film crew. According to the memories of the artist, she almost did not have acting experience, and she was afraid to get lost against the background of such popular colleagues as Georgy Millyar, Andrei Fayt and Otar Kobheridze. But they treated the girl with understanding and helped her reveal in the frame.
It was not necessary without fun situations. Since the actors forbade the costumes and makeup until the shooting day end, they had to go to the local dining room right in the images, collecting the crowds of Zewak.
All efforts doodo did not disappear, and the film with her participation immediately after reaching the rental became a hit. Fans of packs sent her letters with gratitude and confessions in love for which the girl tried to answer. Despite the success, Chogovadze remained quiet and modest.
Knightarev was planning to continue cooperation with the young star, and specifically, the images of the main character of the "Aelita" and "Mermaid" were written for it. But after the scenario was put in prison, the projects were in freezing, and the girl was left without work, because he had already managed to abandon all offers.
Then she began working in the specialty in the Opera and Ballet Theater, then received acting in the Tbilisi Institute, studied at the Leningrad State Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography. A woman returned to the screens in 1981 as Sophico from the film "In the sky" Night Witches "" and again disappeared from the field of sight of fans.
Only in 2012, the celebrity gave a small interview, where she shared the facts from his biography and told how her fate was formed after leaving the movies.
