Died April 25, 1970 (43 years)
Ekaterina Savinova (1926-1970) was a distinguished Soviet actress and singer known for her memorable roles in Soviet cinema. Born on December 26, 1926, in the village of Yeltsovka, Altai Krai, Savinova demonstrated her talent for acting early in life. She graduated from the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography (VGIK) in 1951, studying under the guidance of prominent Soviet filmmakers.

Savinova is best remembered for her role as Frosya Burlakova in the 1963 film "Come Tomorrow", a performance that earned her widespread acclaim for its warmth and authenticity. Her portrayal of the naive yet determined rural girl moving to the city resonated deeply with audiences.

Tragically, Savinova's career and life were cut short due to a battle with mental illness. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, she faced significant challenges, which ultimately led to her untimely death on April 25, 1970. Despite her brief career, Savinova left a lasting impact on Soviet cinema, remembered for her exceptional talent and enduring performances.
