Tatyana Samoilova,
the Soviet-era movie star best known for her roles in "The Cranes are
Flying" and "Anna Karenina", died on Monday aged 80.
Samoilova died early
Monday in a Moscow hospital, Russian Union of
Cinematographers spokesman Dmitry Yakunin told AFP.
Samoilova shot to
international fame with the leading role of Veronika in "The Cranes are
Flying", a tragic story of love cut short by the outbreak of World War II.
Directed by Mikhail
Kalatozov, the movie won the Palme d'Or at the 1958 Cannes Film Festival, the first and only
Russian film to receive that award.
Internationally, the
almond-eyed, dark-haired beauty was perhaps best known for her title role in a
1967 Soviet-made version of "Anna Karenina".
