Acting
Valentina Vagrina
November 3, 1904 — November 19, 1987Moscow, Russian Empire [now Russia]
Honored Artist of the RSFSR (1957). One of the last students of Evgeny Vakhtangov, she was an actress at the Vakhtangov Theatre (1921-37, 1946-78). A bright, precise, and intelligent actress, she endured much: both a labor camp and exile (1937-46) as punishment for her repressed husband.
