The inimitable Faina Ranevskaya was never married. She considered herself ugly and said that the reason for her personal failures was her “terrible face.” But although the actress did not count on happiness, she still paid attention to her own appearance. Therefore, those around her considered her ugly, but damn cute.
Such an elegant and interesting wardrobe
Ranevskaya really respected hats. When she wore them, she wore bright makeup that left no one indifferent.
Another item from her wardrobe was a coat. The actress also loved interesting blouses with ruffles, complementing all this splendor with brooches, and warm flowing cardigans. On camera, Ranevskaya could look comical, but in life she was very elegant. The hair was always tied up, and jewelry was always adorned on the neck and ears.
Another indispensable attribute was an umbrella. It was with him that the actress could often be seen in films. But this was not a prop at all. Ranevskaya brought the umbrella from home. And in life, a lady with character constantly appeared with him.
And if we talk about perfume, then a “real woman” preferred French. And she could easily spend her last money on a bottle of expensive perfume.
No bad taste - only pearls
The actress preferred pearls for jewelry. She especially liked long necklaces and earrings, always of medium length. Without them, Ranevskaya rarely went anywhere. She had no respect for bad taste, both in appearance and in scripts.
There was one funny incident when Faina Georgievna played a scene with a girl. The latter became capricious and demanded that the pearls she was wearing in the episode be real. Ranevskaya responded with her usual humor: “Everything will be genuine, even the poison for you in the end.”
Button ring
The actress's sister's husband found an interesting antique button in the ground. Faina Georgievna really liked it, and the lady decided to make an original ring out of it. Subsequently it became her favorite.
At the performance, Ranevskaya, as always, performed magnificently. She was the same as on stage in life - talented, daring and elegant.
