Biography

Savely Kramarov was a Russian-American actor and comedian who became a leading movie star in the Soviet Union. He was born in Moscow in 1934. His first serious stage work came in the late 1950s, when he played the lead in Vasily Shukshin's Vanka, How are You Here. His first screen part was Soldier Petkin in They Were Nineteen (1960), and his second film, My Friend, Kolka!, helped make him a star. Audiences enjoyed his goofy persona. Over his Soviet career he appeared in more than forty films, among them Gentlemen of Fortune (1971). He later moved to the United States and worked in American cinema, usually in small Russian parts. He was best known to American audiences for a KGB handler part in the Paul Mazursky film Moscow on the Hudson (1984), which starred Robin Williams.
