A legendary personality for cinema and theater - Boris Klyuev - is well known to Russian theater-goers and movie lovers. And the phrase of his character from the series "The Voronins" - "Egyptian Power" - has become a winged phrase for viewers of all ages in our country.
Member of the Board of the Guild of Cinema Actors of Russia and since 2002 People's Artist of Russia - Boris Klyuev - currently has more than seventy theatrical performances under his belt and is one of the leading actors of the Maly Theater.
Brief biography and filmography of Boris Klyuev
Boris Klyuev was born in Moscow on July 13, 1944. Already at the age of four, the boy was left without a father (actor Vladimir Klyuev, died at the age of 36 from heart failure). At school, he did not differ in both academic performance and behavior. But the passion for the stage bore fruit. So, in the school production of "Devil's Mill" Borya played a devil and in one hour became a local celebrity. From that moment on, he resolutely began to pursue his goal of the acting future.
Paternal genes and maternal participation in the theatrical hobby of the son did their job. However, admission to "Shchepka" was preceded by a difficult youth, because from the age of fourteen Boris had to work as a laborer at a construction site and unload cars, as his family was in poverty. And then there was an urgent service for three years. But, having overcome all the trials of fate, the future actor successfully graduated from a theatrical university and then was assigned to the troupe of the Maly Theater.
The first roles of the artist were minor films in the performances: "The Power of Darkness", "Vanity Fair" and "Glass of Water". And then he was entrusted with the role of Sergei Sinitsyn in "So It Will Be." From that moment on, the theater-goers noticed the young actor, and his creative destiny began to develop rapidly.
But the really tremendous success came to the artist all the same through the cinema, in which he managed to be noted for such a number of film works, which more than twice exceeds his theatrical productions.
The artist's filmography is immense: "The Collapse of the Empire" (1970), "D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers" (1979), "Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson" (1980), "The Life of Berlioz" (1983), "TASS is Authorized to Declare" (1984), "Moonzund" (1987), "Special Forces" (1987), "Queen Margot" (1996), "Countess de Monsoreau" (1997), "Schizophrenia" (1997), "Royal Hunt" (1990), "Genius" (1991), "Balzac's Age, or All Men Are Their Own …" (2004), "Voronins" (2009-2017), "Streets of Broken Lanterns" (2013-2016).
Personal life of the actor
Boris Vladimirovich Klyuev managed to marry three times in his life. The third wife, Victoria, has been the keeper of the Klyuev family hearth since 1975. In 1969, the artist had a tragic incident - his twenty-four-year-old son died of heart failure. It turns out that this ailment stubbornly pursues the family, but our hero has safely passed.
The People's Artist of Russia has no other children, and therefore the ancestral succession of a talented person, most likely, will be interrupted on himself.
