Madame "No". Maksimova E.S.

She is perhaps the most charming of the ballet in the history of ballet. The laconic and extremely restrained, closed and inaccessible in life, on stage and on the screen, it seemed the embodiment of light and joy - light, elegant, radiant, sparkling humor in comic roles, but bewitching deep drama in tragic roles. “Goddess...” - with admiration whispered behind her behind her...

she is the great Russian ballerina - Ekaterina Maksimova!

The French nicknamed her Madame “No” for the fact that this word is more often than others It sounded from her mouth. Both our compatriots and countless fans around the world unanimously repeated that there were no people like that, such as she,

are born once a century.

Valentin Gaft devoted poetry to her And the lines: “You are eternal, like a wonderful moment from Pushkin-Natalyan Rus.”

She lived a long and bright creative life, in which her husband and stage partner Vladimir Vasiliev were always nearby.

I never pretended and did nothing. Despite loud glory, I tried not to attract attention. Open, sincere with loved ones,

friends - “the main wealth of my life.” No circumstances. His name is ballet!
