The first Russian movie star Lyubov Orlova became not only an idol of generations, but also a symbol of her era. She could do everything on the screen – sing songs, tap dance, stand at the loom and improvise on the piano, ride a bicycle and spin under the dome of the circus. In the movies, she played ordinary workers more, her Marion Dixon from the Circus preferred the USSR, and the scientist Nikitina in Vesna was a luminary of Soviet science. In life, the actress carefully concealed her noble origin and even the fact that she was related to Leo Tolstoy himself. This book of stories and tall tales about the brilliant star of the cinema screen was written by Grigory Alexandrov's friend and disciple Yuri Saakov. She opens the veil over many secrets of Lyubov Orlova's creative and personal life.
