Tatyana Drubich, the celebrated actress, businesswoman, and philanthropist, marks her 65th birthday today. Known for her enduring beauty and grace, she has maintained a low profile while actively contributing to society.

Drubich’s career began at age 13, independent of her later relationship with director Sergei Solovyov. She starred in “One Hundred Days After Childhood,” a film that launched her into the spotlight and sparked a lifelong connection with Solovyov.

Despite Solovyov’s initial reservations, Drubich secured the role and captivated him with her talent and intelligence. Their bond deepened during filming, despite their age difference and Solovyov’s marital status.

Solovyov played a significant role in Drubich’s life, influencing her decision to pursue a medical degree rather than acting. He believed that having a choice beyond acting was crucial, which led her to study medicine and later practice as a homeopath.

Drubich balanced her medical career with acting, often filming during her time off. She collaborated with prominent directors like Stanislav Govorukhin and continued to take on roles in Solovyov’s films.

In the early 1990s, Drubich transitioned from clinical practice to business, focusing on the sterilization of surgical instruments. Her business acumen led to financial success, allowing her to acquire properties and other assets.

Despite divorcing after six years of marriage, Drubich and Solovyov maintained a close relationship until his death in 2021. Their daughter, Anna, inherited their artistic talents and became a successful composer in Hollywood.

Today, Drubich dedicates much of her time to philanthropy as co-chairman of the Vera Hospice Assistance Fund. Her involvement in hospice care stemmed from a desire to help people maintain their dignity in the face of death.

Drubich emphasizes the importance of charity and believes that it is essential for a fulfilling life. While she values acceptance and love, she remains committed to making a difference in the lives of others.
