Nothing Is Accidental

Vera Alentova — a woman of rare beauty and refined elegance — has dared to tell about herself what most celebrities usually prefer to keep silent about. It’s surprising that the outstanding actress isn’t afraid to present herself to the reader as funny, mistaken, vulnerable, and sometimes even desperate. Only truly whole people — with a clear soul and a loving heart — can laugh at themselves with such subtlety and courage.

This story, bright and full of life, captivates from the very first pages. How many people and destinies have turned out to be alongside Vera Valentinovna! About everyone — actors, directors, colleagues, and friends — she speaks warmly, precisely, and to the point. And when you close the book, a simple understanding comes: in the Oscar-winning film “Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears,” Vera Alentova, in many ways, played herself — an ordinary girl who walked her path with love, dignity, and optimism, and achieved everything through her own efforts.
