Ekaterina Fyodorovna Savinova (Russian: Екатерина
ФÑ'доровна Савинова; 26 December 1926 â€" 25 April
1970) was a Soviet theatre and film actress and singer most famous for
the leading role in the comedy movie Come Tomorrow, Please... directed
by her husband Yevgeny Tashkov. She was named Meritorious Artist of
the RSFSR in 1965.Ekaterina Savinova was born in the Yeltsovka village
(modern-day Yeltsovsky District, Altai Krai of Russia) into a peasant
family, the youngest of four children. Her ancestors, originally from
Penza Governorate, resettled in Siberia during the Stolypin reform.
Her father Fyodor Yakovlevich Savinov worked in kolkhoz. Savinova
inherited her singing talent from her mother Maria Semyonovna
Savinova. She finished a secondary school and on August 1944 left for
Moscow to enter acting courses. She was too late for exams, so she
studied in a farming university and in half a year entered an
additional VGIK course launched by Vasili Vanin. She was soon
dismissed "for the lack of acting skills", but this didn't stop her,
and during the next summer she became a VGIK student under Boris
Bibikov and his wife Olga Pyzhova.She studied along with her future
husband Yevgeny Tashkov. They graduated in 1950 and in a year they got
married. In 1957 their son Andrey Tashkov was born (also a popular
Russian actor). After VGIK Savinova entered the Gnessin State Musical
College to study vocals. Her rare voice (3.5 octave) was so impressive
that she was offered to perform at the Bolshoi Theatre and pop scene
upon graduation, yet she declined all offers, because she saw herself
only as a cinema actress and "just enjoyed singing on her own".
