Live and act

Natalja Negoda grew up in Moscow. Her parents are the television director Tamara Pavlyuchenko and the theater director and actor Igor Negoda. Until 1986 she studied at the Chekhov Art Theater in Moscow in the master class of Oleg Nikolayevich Yefremov . She then played for two years at the Moscow Youth Theater Center (Tjus).

Negoda made her screen debut in 1987 in the Soviet feature film ... and tomorrow was war as a schoolgirl Sina.

Negoda gained notoriety through the title role in the drama Kleine Vera (1988). This film was very successful in the Soviet Union with around 50 million viewers and also caused a sensation abroad. In contrast to conventional Soviet films, everyday life is shown very critically. The family at the center lives together in a very small space, drugs and large amounts of alcohol are consumed and the main character is a rebellious young person. This is revealing and - a first in the history of Soviet cinema - is shown barely veiled during sexual intercourse with her boyfriend. Kleine Vera won several awards at film festivals and has been described as the cinematic breakthrough of the glasnost era.

Negoda has received several awards for her performance as Vera . Among other things, she won a Nika for best actress in 1988 . The following year she was nominated for the European Film Award in the Best Actress category. Her popularity led to appearances at events such as the 1990 Academy Awards , where she was seen as an announcer. At the 1991 Cannes International Film Festival she was a member of the jury.

In May 1989 Negoda was the first female citizen of the Soviet Union to be photographed for Playboy . She was dubbed the Glasnost Girl and the first Soviet sex star.

Wassili Pitschul (* 1961), the director of Kleine Vera , left the Gorky Film Studio after its production and founded his own independent production company. In 1989, the romantic comedy В городе Сочи тёмные ночи (translated: Dark Nights in Sochi ) with Negoda in the leading role appeared. However, the film did not have any financial success.

In the early 1990s, Negoda went to the United States, where she was briefly married to a Russian immigrant. She appeared in four US productions. This includes the thriller Back in the USSR , which was set in Moscow during the last years of the Soviet Union .

Since returning to Russia, Negoda has been living in Moscow again. In 2009 she played the lead role in the Russian drama Boys, baraban ( Бубен, барабан ).
