Outstanding actor Vladimir Zeldin died today in Moscow at 102 years old, 80 of which he spent on stage. He went on stage at 100 years of age. This achievement got into the Guinness Book of records.

Knight era. He said that being an artist is the main happiness, and kept faithful to one theatre - the red, Soviet, Russian army for 70 years. Centenary anniversary he celebrated on the stage of the 4-hour performance. He said that should work. It is his duty and his service to our country.

In 1941 Zeldin already recruiting office returned to the set. Under the disturbing notes from the front about the German offensive had shot a story at an agricultural exhibition, and night on the roof was extinguished the lighter.

Post-war Prime Minister - the country needed this hymn the all-conquering art. "Teachers of dancing" Vladimir Zeldin has played thousands of times over 40 years - the history of the theatre knows nothing of the sort. A few years later, "the dancing Master" has become a "Dancing master" - a play about Vladimir Zeldin, a great artist, preserving dignity and loyalty to the profession and to the theater. He played in 50 films, has always traveled a lot and performed at concerts, and in October 2013, when he was 99, participated in the Olympic torch relay.
