Then the young Clara, together with her mother Anna Petrovna, the director of the orphanage, was already in the evacuation in Shadrinsk of the Kurgan region.

At first, Clara was not going to become an artist. The love of cinema was born after watching films with Love Orlova. Then she began to sing. Her first listeners were fighters in the Shadrinsky evacuation hospital. A voice in her childhood and youth was completely different from the millions of boys and girls know him: Clara had controversy - the lowest female voice.

The soldiers nicknamed her “Girl with a propeller, singing the bass, and the“ propeller ”was a large bow on her head. Adults, however, saw in her the future opera singer and advised to enter the music school. But Clara did her own way-her unsuccessful character later announced her later, but not this time-and went to Moscow at 18, where she immediately entered the VGIK for the course of Sergei Gerasimov and Tamara Makarova.
