American dream. Two Homelands of Alla Kluka

Alla Kluka’s parents were deaf and dumb, and she and her two sisters were born completely healthy. But this did not save the girl from ridicule from classmates – unusual appearance and surname became the reasons. However, Alla did not lose heart and always remained optimistic, which helped her confidently go towards her goal and become an actress.

To enter the theater, Alla moved from Minsk to Moscow. Parents supported their daughter in every possible way and believed in her talent, but even they were surprised to learn that their daughter easily passed the exams at the Shchepkinskoye school and studied at the famous Yuri Solomin course.

At the beginning of her career, the girl seriously thought about changing her surname, but nevertheless decided to leave it, paying tribute to her father and reasonably believing that she would distinguish the budding actress from the crowd. Alla started acting in films while still a student, when she was invited to play a role in the film “The Body”.

Alla Kluka’s acting was called magnificent, and her non-standard type immediately attracted the attention of eminent directors. Filming proposals fell like a cornucopia.

At this time, she had another great chance to prove herself – “Sliver” sent the actress and her classmates for an internship in the United States, where the students had an unforgettable experience, got acquainted with a completely different culture and spoke English.

Ironically, on her return to her native country, the young girl meets a charming American twenty years her senior, with whom she begins an affair.

Kenny Schaeffer – that was the name of Alla’s beloved – invited the girl to vacation in the United States. There, he immediately called her down the aisle and she accepted, almost without hesitation. In the first years after the wedding, the couple simply bathed in feelings, they had a son, Kibo, and everyone was absolutely happy.

Career successes followed: Alla was invited to join the Guild of American Screen Actors and star in two cult series – Law & Order and The Sopranos. But she also did not leave Russian cinema. Truth has always noted how much the difference in mentality manifests itself in American and Russian cinema. Actors in the United States behave more freely and without inhibition.

In 1998, Klyuka starred in the comedy I want to go to prison, and in 2011 the director of this film, Alla Surikova, invited her to her new film The Perfect Couple. The actress gladly accepted the offer, partly because she was interested in the script, partly because things weren’t going well with her husband.

Then there was the multi-part film “Evlampia Romanova ..” based on the novels by Daria Dontsova. Before Alla received the script, she was unfamiliar with the writer’s books. However, with her task of getting used to the carefully prescribed image of an amateur detective, she coped with it perfectly and lived up to the expectations of many Dontsova fans.

To do this, together with the director, she had to analyze the character for a long time, and, carried away by the image of Evlampia, they did not notice how carried away they were with each other. Vladimir Morozov recalls that falling in love with the actress flared up even when she was auditioning.

But Alla decided to reciprocate only after some time. Realizing that she was ready to enter into a new relationship, she went to the United States and told her husband everything. Together with her son, the actress returned to Moscow, and there was not long before the wedding. The ceremony was attended by Kenny’s ex-husband, with whom she managed to separate amicably.

In 2003, a replenishment took place in the family – the son Ivan was born. Today, he and his brother Kibo live with their parents in the Russian capital. The youngest, like his mother, dreams of becoming an actor.

Alla Kluka no longer acts in Russian cinema, but in 2015 she starred in the American television series Laura’s Secrets.
