We were a lot in common, she always supported me. Of course, the main topic of our conversations today with Strizhenovoj children.

Katie Strizhenovoj anniversary. And I am pleased that these… (didn’t want to say, but she, shining with youth and beauty, does not hide his age) 50 many years we have worked side by side. Woke the country on the program “Good morning”, together the concerts and charity events.

“Do you remember how he went to military units? Handing out ice cream to children? Released young sturgeon? As from Ivanovo have left on your Mercedes on the road I stopped for gas, and when the man at the neighboring column and saw that the car got Malakhov and Strizhenova, rushed over to us, forgetting that the hose is inserted into the gas tank, and pulled it out by the roots! Was a noise like the universe exploded… We have to remember”.

Fiftieth birthday Catherine met at work (besides “Good morning” on “the First channel” it is the fourth year the co-host of the program “Time will tell”).

“Andrew, you have no idea what fireworks did to me! The program begins in the hands of my script, I am getting the story: “March 20 marks the international day of happiness…” And suddenly I see the story is about me! My first thought was live was canceled, and my colleagues just kidding (only then I realized that nobody has canceled, and viewers watched). On leaves with flowers Constantine L., Lena Malysheva, Leonid Yakubovich, Ilya Averbukh… So nice: now, I think mom will be happy… But it is a pity that the husband does not see me congratulations! And… after a moment there Alex! Thank you to my friends and colleagues for this surprise, and, most importantly, no one is pierced! I thought this was quietly noted in working order, “get under the Mat, without attracting attention.”

And how it has responded to such an unusual air of your mother?
Mother cried with happiness, then asked: “And why the order was not given, you work so much?!” However, the surprises did not end there. In the evening, after work, Sasha drove me to the 84th floor of the tower “Eye” in “Moscow-city”, where he collected closest friends (which due to the tight schedule I have several years not seen) and made a magical evening in a Japanese style. Japan is my old dream, on the anniversary my husband gave the trip to this amazing country, and we are in the coming holidays there will definitely go!”I’m in a constant struggle with excess weight. My most significant experience is the participation in the project of your magazine “lose Weight with “StarHit”, when not one, but the team and work on all fronts. Not only food, but also gymnastics, special massages – all under the supervision of doctors. Such a thorough approach. Very good volumes are gone, I switched to a fractional power. But life is emotional, it is impossible to limit itself constantly. So sometimes I relax, and then continue the battle for harmony”

Shanghai, where you celebrated pearl wedding, was also a dream?
This is Sasha’s creativity… a Pearl wedding in the pearl of the Orient! Thirty years we’ve been together, and it’s a real term. From the first day after the wedding I felt FOR the HUSBAND, not on paper, but in reality… I had the strong wall that protects from all troubles. Today is a big shortage of men who take responsibility for family, children, home… for example, I have no idea how to handle the boiler, what to do if you cut down the light in our village, which included the Internet and how to call the janitor!

But with their kind of responsibilities do you handle it?
With all but one! I don’t know how to run the washing machine. Sasha bought a new, beautiful, black, but she’s so clever, that nothing incomprehensible! And every time, to to piss me off, he says: “Beloved, read the instructions!”

In your pair is the only reason for irritation?
No, of course we’re very different. Quarrel and argue. Don’t ask, Andrew, what’s the secret to a long marriage. I can’t explain. If someone brought this formula, he would become a millionaire! I know one thing: Alexander Strizhenov – talented man, and it is very sexy and attractive!

Interestingly, and political topics addressed in the program “Time will tell”, you are in the kitchen discussing?
In modern life without a policy does not work, but everything is exacerbated by the fact that Sasha often opposing views. We are emotional people, each standing on his own! Well, with friends, to avoid debate, the Treaty is: who will talk at the table about politics, penalize ruble!

How did you dare to do this?
Andrew, I work in current Affairs program, where policies meet Artem Sheinin and Anatoly Kuzichev, and I’m just asking questions. The audience was primarily female. And Housewives, and mothers, and grandmothers who lunch – everybody wants to know what is happening in the country and the world, and how it affects our lives. My goal is to get respected experts on the serious developments to tell you in understandable language. When the world situation will get better when we solve all our internal problems, then people will stop watching such programs will plant flowers and enjoy life. And I’m with them!

Well, what do you think about our TV?
It seems that at last there has been a shift: on TV started to show decent people, those who do good deeds. But the show is still sitting tight on the clarification of paternity using DNA tests. I just don’t understand why this is done after the fathers leave this world, why not settle all things in life?! As for divorces, the story of Armen Borisovich – the most vivid and painful. I love him, we go way back, and the recommendation of the Union of cinematographers gave me exactly Dzhigarkhanyan! I can say one thing: when we five years ago was filmed in Yerevan in the movie “House of the heart”, Vitalina was always close, tenderly cared for Armen Borisovich, and then he was happy. What is happening now, no one ever really knows… but the future of our TV for live: the audience wants to see, not to the story, and real emotions here and now!

First and foremost, you’re an actress. At the movie theater and not miss?
From big roles to have to give (simply impossible to combine with such television employment), and small interesting agree. Will soon begin shooting in the new project, more to the point will tell… And in the theater play I never stop. We recently released a new performance – astral Comedy “Restless spirit”. Andrew, you will definitely get! Will see how I play the Ghost. That was the feeling of flying, Sasha put me on a scooter and I the entire show on wheels! Once fell right on the front of the stage before the audience jumped like scalded, and said, “Yes, we have that light too, not everything is working well,” and the applause went on. The audience decided that this is the scenario.”My friend, happy, family girl, happened the same anniversary. She didn’t answer the phone, locked himself in the bathroom. And when we came to her with a question that happened, after the endless sobs I heard: “You don’t understand! After 50 there is no life!” So I wait, when me will be covered! But the bottom line is that if you are constantly working, the time for such thoughts simply does not remain”

It is not a secret that this year you managed to become grandparents.
Sounds amazing! Yes, we are waiting for the Grand event, which we have not yet realized… Everyone is saying that grandchildren are even better than children. Children for five years together, son-in-law calls me “mother-in-law dreams”. We can say that for Nastya I quiet: she found herself in profession and personal life. The youngest daughter, Alexandra, this year also waiting for an important event – admission to the Institute. She chose MSU. We badly imagine what it means to pass the exam, Sasha first passes this test. Of course, all this is exciting – for both the child and the parents. Wish us luck! If you succeed, then our family to the Director (Alexander), artist (Anastasia), banker (son-in-law Peter) and a psychologist (so calling me husband, when dissatisfied with something) will be added economist Alexander!
