Elena Proklova's Birthday

On September 2, 1953 in Moscow, in the family of teacher of the Lenin Academy of Military Politics Igor Proklov and his wife, teacher, Inessa, daughter Elena was born.

Мимино (Mimino). 1977. Director - Georgiy Daneliya. Movie's Rating - 8,470; 332nd Rank in the Golden Thousand.

At the age of 12, Lena Proklova played her first role in a movie - in the film by Alexander Mitta "Звонят, откройте дверь! (Someone Is Ringing, Open the Door (The Girl and the Bugler))". Perhaps this happened due to the fact that Lena's grandfather, Viktor Proklov, was the second director in this picture and was responsible for the casting.

Гори, гори, моя звезда (Shine, Shine, My Star). 1969. Director - Aleksandr Mitta. Movie's Rating - 7,981; 731st Rank in the Golden Thousand.

Perhaps, as the official version says, the actress' grandfather had nothing to do with it, and Alexander Mitta's acquaintance with Lena happened thanks to a certain "family friend" of the Proklovs. But, be that as it may, thanks to such a "coincidence", a wonderful, original Actress appeared in Soviet cinema.

Звонят, откройте дверь (The Girl and the Bugler). 1965. Director - Aleksandr Mitta.

Today, Elena Igorevna Proklova, a member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, a member of the United Russia party, a master of sports in artistic gymnastics, a well-known TV presenter and a face of the DeSheli cosmetic company, has roles in 23 full-length feature films (not counting numerous roles in television films from which FilmGourmand abstracts). Two of these films were included in the FilmGourmand's Golden Thousand.
