Maria Vladimirovna Mironova (Russian: Мари́я Влади́мировна Миро́нова; 7 January 1911 [ O.S. 25 December 1910] – 13 November 1997) was a Soviet and Russian actress who worked in film, television and theatre. She was a member of the popular comedy-duo "Mironova and Menaker (Миронова и Менакер)", which she performed with her husband, Aleksandr Menaker , for decades on stage. [4] Her son, Andrei Mironov, was a well-known actor. [1] [3]
She was named People's Artist of the USSR by the Soviet government in 1991. [2]
Mironova was born in Moscow to Elizaveta Ivanovna Firsova, a schoolteacher, and Vladimir Nikolayevich Mironov, a merchant from a petite-bourgeoisie family. [3]
In 1927, Mironova graduated from the Lunacharsky State Institute for Theatre Arts (now [update] the Russian Institute of Theatre Arts). [2] She became a member of the popular comedy-duo "Mironova and Menaker (Миронова и Менакер)", which she performed on stage with her husband, Alexander Menaker, for about three and a half decades since the duo debuted in 1939, until Menaker's death in 1982. [4] They typically acted out scenes of a quarrelling couple; Mironova's characters were often a domineering and ignorant wife, whilst Menaker always took the role of a weak-willed husband. [5] Each sketch they performed took no more than five minutes. [5]
The memoir ...In Their Repertoire («...В своём репертуаре») was published in 1984, written by Mironova in co-authorship with her husband, who had died two years prior to the publication. [6] She acted on stage for the last time in Semyon Zlotnikov 's play The Old Man Left the Old Woman («Уходил старик от старухи») just a few days before her hospitalisation and death. [4] Mironova died on 13 November 1997, at the age of 86, at the Moscow Central Clinical Hospital. [4] She was buried at Vagankovo Cemetery next to her son, who had died ten years earlier. [1]
