Yevgeny Morgunov

Soviet and Russian actor (1927–1999)

Yevgeny Morgunov is remembered on screen for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Yevgeny Morgunov as Soviet and Russian actor (1927–1999).

Yevgeny Morgunov was born at Moscow in 1927. His recorded nationality is Russia. He trained at Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography.

This generation broke the studio mould - lighter cameras, location shooting, and directors who claimed authorship of the finished film.

The record gives his roles in the industry as actor, film director and theatre director.

A film outlives its reviews, its budget and usually its studio; what remains is whether anyone still watches it.

That the work was made from Russia shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.

Yevgeny Morgunov died in 1999, aged 72. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
