АНДРЕЙ МИРОНОВ. Родился на сцене. Умер на сцене. Между ними — 46 лет

He had an aneurysm—a bomb in his head that could explode at any second. The doctors knew. His mother knew. He performed twelve performances a month. He slept four hours a night. He never stopped. On August 14, 1987, in Riga, the city where he was born, Mironov was delivering Figaro's final monologue. And he collapsed. Shirvindt caught him in his arms. The curtain fell. Two days later, he was gone. As his body was being transported from Riga to Moscow, people gathered on the road and strewn flowers along the way. 🔹 0:00 — The Last Figaro 🔹 1:02 — A Boy Named Menaker 🔹 2:12 — Shchukin and the Satire Theater 🔹 3:42 — The Diamond Arm and Fame 🔹 5:50 — Figaro and the Theater 🔹 6:50 — Two Wives, Two Daughters 🔹 8:21 — Aneurysm 🔹 9:10 — Death on Stage in Riga 🔹 10:45 — Heritage
