[edit] Biography
Georgy Vitsin was born in the Finnish city of Terijoki (currently Zelenogorsk (St. Petersburg), according to official data - on April 23, 1918 in Petrograd. However, according to an entry from the church book of the Church of the Exaltation of the Cross, where Georgy Vitsin was baptized, he was born on April 5 (after old style) 1917; April 23 is his name day. Studied at the Vakhtangov Theater School (1934-1935), at the Moscow Art Theater Studio II. Since 1936, he has been an actor in the studio theater under the direction of N.P. Khmelev. Since 1937, he has played at the Moscow Ermolova Theater and from 1969 to 2001 at the Film Actor's Studio Theatre.
Daughter of Georgy Vitsin - Natalya Vitsina
The daughter of Georgy Vitsina, Natalya Vitsina, was born in October 1954. At that time, the actor was already thirty-seven years old. He loved his daughter very much, spoiled her and devoted a lot of time to raising her.
Natalya inherited her father's creative spirit, becoming an excellent graphic artist. At one time, it was her posters for the films “The Irony of Fate or Enjoy Your Bath” and “An Unfinished Piece for a Mechanical Piano” that were hung near all cinemas in the country.
Natalya Vitsina likes to remember that as a child she was jealous of her father’s fans. The actor had a gentle character; if they recognized him on the street and started asking him questions, he could never refuse, he considered it indecent to simply turn around and move on.
