November 7th marks the 125th anniversary of Rina Zelania's birth.
During her long career in theater, film and television, the actress did not get a single main role, but created dozens of images that are still remembered by several generations of viewers. She played Tortilla the Tortoise in The Adventures of Pinocchio and Mrs. Hudson in Igor Meselnikov's Sherlock Holmes series, voiced cartoon characters and co-wrote the script for Foundling. And she was remembered for her ironic statements - about roles, success and age.
