His biography began on November 20, 1928.On this day the son of Alexei was born in the family of the Mkhatovites Vladimir Batalov and Nina Olshanskaya. However, the parents' marriage soon disintegrated, and when Alyosha was 5 years old, her mother married the famous writer Victor Ardov. My stepfather accepted and brought up the boy as a son.
The family house was open to people of literature andart. Their guests were Anna Akhmatova, Boris Pasternak, Osip Mandelstam, Mikhail Zoshchenko, Joseph Brodsky. In the society of talented, spiritually rich and educated people, Alexei Batalov grew and formed. His biography could not but be connected with the world of art.
Anna Akhmatova occupied a special place in her lifefamily, because she was a close friend to them and always stayed at their house when she came to Moscow. Of course, the personality of this scale had a huge impact on the formation of the character of the young man.
During the war, the future actor left with his motherin the evacuation to Tatarstan. Here for the first time he began to appear on stage in small roles Alexei Batalov. His biography as an artist was still ahead, but the first steps were made then, during the difficult war years.

They fell in love with each other in 16, at 18 married, then "gave birth" to daughter Nadezhda, and exactly 10 years after the beginning of the relationship (in 1958) parted.
By that time Alexey Batalov, biographywhich sometimes resembles an adventure novel, fell in love with a beautiful gypsy Gitan. Gitan Leontenko was from the circus family and successfully performed in the arena as a rider. The girl's parents were against this union, but Alexei was persistent, and they had to give in. In 1963, the lovers signed. In the second marriage, the actor had a daughter, Masha, who was sick with infantile cerebral palsy. This did not stop her from completing the VGIK, the script faculty. Githana left the circus and devoted herself to new roles: mistress, wife and mother, with whom she coped well.
