Olga Prokofiev: when I play with the son, to me the main thing – to lose (№1 (21) from October, 22nd, 2009)

Olga Prokofiev has literally rushed into hearts of spectators in image inimitable, a little shitty and amusing Jeanne Arkadevny from a serial «My fine nurse», and here some years she is a daily visitor in our houses. And here on the favourite summer residence the actress happens far not so often. But if it is possible to get out there, it necessarily allocates some hours to play billiards with the son, sixteen-year Alexander.

Olga how your hobby for billiards has begun?

– It has begun in a youth still, under the influence of the husband of my mum. He very much loved billiards, played it everywhere where it turned out. In those days we had a country two-storeyed nice house, and uncle Sasha always dreamt, to make a billiard room. But as a billiard room – the premise not small, did not turn out in any way this dream to carry out without that the house not to complete. And earlier there was a heap of restrictions on building … Then when already times have changed also our officials have allowed to extend, have decided to construct the third floor that as uncle Sasha dreamt, there there was a big good Russian billiard table. This floor very long and difficultly built, not one year, but very much it would be desirable this billiard room. At last building has ended, all has turned out so beautifully and fine, have brought a table … And here was found out that neither on one ladder, nor we cannot bring it in one door. Does not pass! And further there was a cheerful procedure, here this billiards all our neighbours on belts, on cords involved in a window on the third floor, frames exposed, have somehow dragged. Well and it is final, at once it became interesting to all, all at once began to try to play, including I, and even my son. It at that point in time was small absolutely, it put on a table, and it from a table drove spheres extensively кием. It very much was pleasant to it, then he has learnt to play really.

– It is felt that you, Olga, very much love billiards. But you are a demanded actress, act in film much, play theatre. How often you manage to take in hands кий?

– Really, because of my schedule last years on a summer residence seldom we leave, but nevertheless when we happen there, always we find possibility to rise on the third floor, party-two to play.

– And кий at you the is?

– We with the son always have a struggle for кий. It has somehow turned out that uncle Sasha has collected the collection киев, under itself, and then there was already nobody it to supplement, and there and there are two heavy кия and one facilitated. And here, as I the woman, the son too yet adult person, to it of 16 years, we with it very much like кием to play this lung. And in the course of game constantly we transfer each other this favourite кий.

– Olga, taking an opportunity, our magazine wishes to rectify situation and to fill up your collection кием Novosibirsk factory "Dynamics". We hope that this two-member 14-zapilnyj кий will bring to you a lot of pleasure in game.

– Thanks huge! It so is pleasant! Now we have a smart possibility not to transfer each other кий during game thanking here to such remarkable and beautiful Novosibirsk gift.

– You play only a summer residence, with the son?

– Certainly, I do not get to any billiard clubs, but when with theatre we leave on tour, billiards, I sometimes поигрываю with the colleagues costs the big collective, and in hotel. I very much like "American", in general, classical Russian billiards most of all is pleasant to me. I will not tell that I the superplayer that at me a wide experience, but me a great pleasure deliver this game, it for me, as chess, very intelligent, very clever.

– Who acts as your contender in game more often?

– More often I play with the son Sashej. Sometimes to us there comes its friend, with it play, with the friend I can play. Any such house company gathers. Already and Anechka, the niece whom 9 years will be fast, too always suffices кий, tries to make something. She while a little that is able, but the girl very sociable, and to it with us to play the main thing, though spheres to submit, all is interesting to it. So, I think, one more billiard-player grows.

– Olga how men react what you can make it a competition behind a billiard table?

– I somehow before colleagues it am not proud. If I would like, I can play with men somewhere, but in general it is possible to play in country conditions, with friends more. For example, when I the birthday idle on a summer residence, here then usually party-two am possible to play … And sometimes I and itself кий in hands I do not take, it is pleasant, that more visitors played, for them this huge pleasure. I, of course, everywhere can play, but if it is fair, on tours I better dive into pool if there is a possibility. Houses, in Moscow, at me nearby aquatics Palace, but as speak, the shoemaker's wife is the worst shod, and there I have not time to go at all.

– It is possible to you to play on interest?

– Yes, we on interest to games, on desire as we speak. With the son we can even do any rates. We still very much like to play a lotto, earlier played much, and always staked on копеечке, on 50 copecks. So it is more interesting, and it is pleasant to children, if they to themselves win any money, and here in billiards too we can make any rate, but more often all, of course, at such family-children's level. When I play with the son, to me the main thing – to lose, though I never give in, because children so rejoice, when they win. I do not swindle, of course, but to me большее the pleasure delivers, when he wins.

– The son plays billiards only houses?

– No if we come somewhere on a visit and there there is a billiards, he with pleasure кий in hands and plays a beret.

– Olga, and you watch billiard sports? If, for example, on the TV broadcast competitions, can look?

– You know, I can look the female championships, very much it is pleasant to me, when play the lady, it is madly beautiful, graceful. But here so to wait that I now will start to strew surnames of our champions, record-holders, – was not present, I in this plan a little bit профанирую, will not name anybody. Though here last summer I invited to the championship in Moscow, and I know that it is very beautiful, solemnly occurs, very pleasant conditions there reign. But, I think that I will necessarily choose time and I will get acquainted more close with sports billiards. I think that it is page which in a life to me still should be opened. It is very interesting to me, when about Elinu Bystritsky tell that she such club woman, plays everywhere much. And very much it is pleasant to me that there are such women who fanatically are engaged in it. I, unfortunately, do not concern them, but nevertheless very much I love billiards.

– Let's talk about your creativity. The mass spectator has learnt Olga Prokofiev and has grown fond as Jeanne Arkadevnu from a serial «My fine nurse». To you is not insulting to be the actress of one image, despite the fact that what roles is played much?

– And you to me can tell, why to me should be insulting? I absolutely do not have feeling that I the actress of one role. I very much love the Jeanne Arkadevnu. We have removed already 140 series, and spectators so have grown fond of our serial that we have decided to remove 40 more, they left on screens in the beginning of October. Those compliments which I receive for this role, are very pleasant, here it is literally today to me have told: «you know, you cheer every morning me up!» And I so am glad! My God, what the actress can hear even more pleasant? How to it it can be insulting? At Jeanne Arkadevny much that can learn: he/she is the person who has achieved all, the work. Everything that at it is, she has earned itself. At me it is a lot of roles, and at theatre, cinema willows. I very much love all roles, but here in Jeanne Arkadevne I like that it has not passed not noticed. There are such projects where you can well play, but it will not reach spectators, or it will be not at the right time. And with "Nurse" all has developed very happily both for founders, and for us, actors. So I am very grateful to destiny, for that that I have my Jeanne Arkadevna.
