Larisa Kadochnikova

Larisa Kadochnikova's resume genuinely gave me chills. Honored as a People's Artist by both Russia and Ukraine, a Shevchenko Prize winner, and a star of Paradjanov's Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, which is a landmark of world cinema. Beyond acting she paints and has directed, a breadth that is rare and real. To be recognized at the highest artistic level by two nations across a turbulent century is not a thing you achieve by accident. There is a depth to her, on screen and off, that I find magnetic. I hold enormous respect for performers with that kind of unbreakable core.
