Yevgeny Leonov was born Sept. 2, 1926 in Moscow. His parents worked in aviation: Paul V. - Engineer, Anna I. - tabelschitsey. Leonov senior told a lot of sons of the aircraft, the famous designer, so that the boys were preparing to become pilots. The family lived modestly, taking up to four two small rooms in communal apartments.
After graduating from school, Jack started Aircraft apprentice turner. Many years later, he wrote: "I remember some scene Ivan Gorbunov, was an actor and writer in the last century and I passionately wanted it to someone retell. Students found in the shop where I worked. Laughter from the heart. Maybe there, in the factory, was born on my dream of becoming an actor. "
In 1943 Eugene entered the Aviation Technical School im. S. Ordzhonikidze. But interest in the theater all the same beat: stand the test, he was transferred to the Moscow theater school. Leonov studied enthusiastically, lost in the studio from eight am until an hour night. He always remembered with gratitude his teachers EM Sheremetyev and AA Goncharova.
After college Leonov worked in the theater Dzerzhinsky, and from 1948 on - at the Moscow Drama Theater named KS Stanislavsky. As an actor, he received little extras wages, leading him to despair. "In the theater when I was still on the scene did not go out, do not play, ran in the extras, too, remember schemyaschee sense of anguish, uncertainty."
And in the film, he began to mass scenes. In 1951, Leonov has appeared in the occasional role of coca in the film Nemolyaeva "chaser." It took another three years before Leone for two memorable roles: the pictures Heyfitsa "Case Rumyantseva and Stolper Way." "I will never forget a good person, good eye Vitaliy Doronin, which I filmed in the movie" The Road "- recalled Leonov.
- I, perhaps, something could not, but I went up, dream up, and Doronin maintained, and indeed, sometimes filmed, as I suggested. There to pick up an amazing company that, for me, a young actor, for boys, was of great significance: the light is so good, such friendly people ... and in the "Case Rumyantseva was is a special, friendly atmosphere, where the wanted to do more than you know how ... Both roles were challenging and interesting, because at the beginning of cinema, and in the theater, I was admitted only as a lyrical comedy actor and the role of offering a similar one to another. "
In mid-1950 in the Stanislavsky Theater for the post of chief director Michael came Yanshin. But in life Leonova nothing changed. He already is considering to leave the theater as Yanshin unexpectedly appointed him to the role of Lariosika in the play "Days Turbins" by M. Bulgakov. In the process of work on the role of the young actor came to the conclusion that the art of simplicity - the most difficult arts. "Then I realized - Leonov told - that Yanshin all passed through the truth." Thirty times in rehearsal, he went to say: "Here I come" - but the director was dissatisfied with all ...
"There is a role, or rather the characters, which is something an actor to choose for all life - has continued to Leonov. - This for me has been and remains that funny cousin of Zhitomir. You yourself can not imagine how expensive it dalsya me, although I played it almost a thousand times, but every time like the debut. Maybe so, and need - to doubt themselves, their capabilities, each time starting from scratch and cry in the night of grief that bezdaren, go to the show, and never worry nothing to be sure. "
In 1957, during a tour in Sverdlovsk (Yekaterinburg) Leon met his future wife. Stoilova Vanda went to music-teacher school. They copied a few months before she moved to Moscow where he entered the office teatrovedcheskoe GITIS. In 1959, Leonov was born a son Andrew.
At that time the head of the family was on the film "Striped flight" in Leningrad.

"Before" striped flight "Leonov has played many roles comedies - writes biographer Ninel Ismailova - and all his characters were ridiculously contagious: and naive policeman Serdyukov sloth in the movie" Street is full of surprises, "and wanting Christie in the play" devil′s disciple " and absurd in its enthusiasm Building Superintendent in the movie "It should have a hundred rubles," and hilarious Fedya in "The stories about the newlyweds, and Sasha Smirnov in the movie" The work of art. " Leonovskie characters, stage and screen, caused laughter in the auditorium, with its first appearance. And each of these works open any facet comedy talent of the artist. But "Striped flight" has absorbed all the different colors comedies, where we first saw the Leonov - puff, eccentric, and the grotesque, he can connect with the true nature. "
After striped flight "from Leonova a mass of attractive offers. In 1962, it even invited to play in the operetta "Cheryomushki, screening works by Shostakovich.
Leonov is considered a comedy actor, when Fetin director invited him to the role of the Don Cossack Yakov Shibalka in screen stories Sholokhova M. "Shibalkovo seed" and "mole". Leonov, first did not agree, and hudsovet "Lenfilm was against his candidacy, but Fetin went at the risk and won. The film "Don novel" (1964) at the International Film Festival in New Delhi has received an honorary prize, but Leone was awarded the prize "Silver peacock" as the best performer of male roles.
In 1966, Leonov Moscow saw as the king of Thebes Kreona Anuya in the play "Antigone." This intellectual drama set Boris Lvov-Anokhin.
For the Theater Antigone "has been severely tested, and the company ran into him with honor.

Lviv-Anokhin says: "... no rhetoric, no villainy, no royalty Kreona needed me, but it was his life cogency and equipment. That is what is called wisdom, and played Leonov - with bitter humor, and convincing, and even the kindness and warmth, and so that the people attracted to a life comfort, and more - fortunately, the joy of a human " .
Many saw Evgeny Leonov as Kreona, saying that he opened for them as an artist of tremendous range.
For all the time in the theater of Stanislavsky, he not broken a single performance. As he recalled later: "I am ill with lung inflammation play, fell on the stage, kamforu stick on the play. Once in Leningrad Days Turbins with temperature forty-played. But the performances because I was not canceled. "
Leone continues to operate successfully in the genre of comedy: the film Eldar Ryazanov "zigzag Luck" (1969), where he played a modest role Oreshnikova photographer, who became the happy owner of a lottery ticket, in a satirical picture of George Daneliya "Thirty-Three" (1965).
During the filming of a picture "Tchaikovsky" (1969) Leonov first time in his life traveled to England and France, and lived in France nearly a month. But 15 days later it felt drawn to Moscow ... At rest Eugene P. usually went with his wife and son in a village near Moscow Davydkovo, where numerous relatives lived mother. "I′m not fishing and not охочусь, - he said - just walk, breathe, think and remember."
In the theater of Stanislavsky Leonov spent 21 years and has played 34 roles. In 1969 he moved to the Mayakovsky Theater.
Once the voice Leonova talking animated Winnie the Pooh Bear, he became a favorite of children. In the future, even cartoon characters are not just talk and sing his voice.
In 1970, Yevgeny Leonov took off in a number of paintings that have become classics of Russian cinema.
The "gentlemen of fortune" (director A.

Point in the creative biography of the artist became a movie Belarusian station "Smirnova. Leonov was playing a simple locksmith, a battle of friends. "Happiness was the role of Ivan Prikhodko in the movie" Belarusian railway station ", - said the actor. - This is a kind, gentle, pure people, able to always be direct and honest. He managed to retain an open war on truth, not break, do not lose them on the roads life ... It a huge stock of human strength. Here it is, and look like nekazisty, and nothing in life is not achieved - an ordinary mechanic, as the saying goes, "little man". A scan obtained at large. Because of their kindness, wisdom, kindness to people and very modest in relation to himself. "
Among the best films of the period Leonov: "Carousel" (1970), "Just missing" (1973), "The Prize" (1974), "Afonya (1975)," The Legend of Thiele (1977) "Marriage" (1978), television "Big Change" (1973), "Elder Son" (1975), "dragon" (1978), "Ordinary Miracle" (1978).
One of the most striking and significant of the actor - a role in the film Sarafanova Vitali Melnikov "elder son". "freak, able only to love and trust, faith and love, small clarinet, life write oratorio" All people are brothers, "Leonov - Sarafanov its simplicity and kindness, literally shaking," - writes biographer Ismailova.
In 1974, Leonov left the Mayakovsky Theater. Passed away, although brilliantly played Vanyushin to play S. Naidenova, Narokova for "Talents and admirers" by A. Ostrovsky, Sancho Panza in the musical "Man of La Mancha" by D.

"Children Vanyushin were leonovskim triumph. "It is interesting that, initially, this role was to play the famous Sverdlin, - said director Andrei Goncharov. - I thought quite a different solution, where there was a need a acting personality. Tragifarce I saw how ignorance and weakness of spirit destroy the family. I imagined a run on the stage-house powerless head of the family and istoshno shouts: "Svistat all up!" It can only play Jack. "
Leonov embodied all the hopes of the director, and when the left the theater, the performance was lifted - the replacement could not be him.
And in another role Goncharov wanted to see only Leonova - in the role of Sancho Panza. "Jack came into competition with the major actors of the world, who played on stage and on screen this role. Admit that nothing of the sort played by Leonov, I did not see and did not see until now. " Sancho Panza Leonov was kind and funny, but kind-hearted, all helping to Don Quixote.
At that time, Yevgeny Pavlovich time given movie, and the director had to wait months for their rehearsals. Patience Goncharova eventually burst. And Leon went to the theater of the Lenin Komsomol.
His first great work from Mark Zakharov was Ivanov′s role in the play by Chekhov. "Ivanov was a diverse audience: the proud hero, exposer and miserable, izzhivshim a man. Leone is not trying to gloss over, to exalt Ivanova, but internally he takes under his protection. His Ivanou not guilty plea, "- writes Ismailova.
Evgeny Pavlovich Chekhov loved, that great discoverer of goodness in human hearts. " His first role was Chekhovskoi Nyuhin Schweitzer in the movie "Carousel." "Laughter and tears, natural and grotesque - hence the birth tragicomedy - Leonov noted. - Nyuhin - one of the few roles that I very interesting to watch. "
In 1978, Leonov was awarded the title People′s Artist of the USSR. He enjoyed immense popularity. "We were on tour, I think, in Saratov," - says the actor Alexander Zbruev.

Leonov was always ready to help colleagues in the theater, for what it called "our hlopotun. He went to high authority, and "knock" and the new flat rates for their colleagues, requested building materials for the theater, the money for repairs. Evgeny Pavlovich was outwardly shy, melanholichen but always ready for a bold and unexpected behavior.

"Autumn Marathon" has gathered a lot of awards at film festivals - in San Sebastian (ibid. Leonov was awarded the prize for best male role) in Dushanbe and Hamruse. The very same Evgeny Pavlovich was delighted to work Basilashvili as Buzykina: "ridiculous, even that in Italy" Autumn Marathon "offered a prize for the best male roles to me, not Basilashvili. I am a regular there. There is always a Daneliya, - a little more meaningful story episode, and no news. "
Leonov has played many roles occasional, and always a scene in his performance to become extremely valuable to the entire artistic production or film.
Theater Leonov performed the role: the Father in the play "Thief" W. Myslivskogo, proshtrafivshegosya party chief in the "dictatorship of" peasant goer in the play "Blue horses on a red grass" M. Shatrova. In "Sunshine tragedy" Su. Vishnevsky Leonov, in the opinion of the director Zakharov, "managed to create a kind of encyclopedia of" nomenclature resent.
During the summer of 1988 with a theater performance "Dictatorship of Conscience" has arrived for three days in Hamburg, at the festival.

Rehabilitation period from Leonov took exactly four months. More he did not want to be treated as wanted to go on stage in a role-Teve milkman in "memorial prayer G. Gorin. Wisdom plays the hero - especially in the humor and kindness. Premiere has turned into a real triumph for the actor. Together with Yevgeny Pavlovich on stage was his son Andrew, who played the village clerk Fedyu. At the end of the play long smolkali applause, the stage is buried in the flowers ...
"Happiness - it′s when you realize - once Leonov wrote to his son. - I wish you that happiness. When a stranger and loved one - the audience - a brilliant eyes tears or someone dip "bully" you will learn that the theater and what links to the theater of his life. "
In 1990 he opened the only two comedies: the Daneliya in the "Passport" (1990) and Schegolev in American grandfather "(1993).
