Mysticism, providence, fate... In the case of Anastasia Vertinskaya, it seems that the matter could not have happened without the intervention of higher powers. The beauty of this graceful woman was described as alien and inimitable, and her acting talent was appreciated by spectators, directors, and critics. It was this graceful woman with enchanting slanting eyes that was destined to play the main characters in the film adaptation of two of the most magical Russian novels about love. The role of Assol from the touching fairy tale “Scarlet Sails” became her first work, and the role of Margarita from the most famous novel by Mikhail Bulgakov was the last film of Anastasia Vertinskaya to reach the audience. She always swam against the tide and immediately ejected herself from any circumstances as soon as they no longer suited her. A real alien, whose eyes reflect entire galaxies of freedom and talent.
