Lyubov Petrovna Orlova (Russian: Любо́вь Петро́вна Орло́ва; 29 January [O.S. 16 January] 1902, Zvenigorod – 26 January 1975, Moscow) was the first recognized star of Soviet cinema, a famous theatre actress, and a gifted singer.
She was born to a family of Russian nobles in Zvenigorod, near Moscow, and grew up in Yaroslavl. Her first and last names are meaningful words in Russian: любовь means "love", and Орлова is the feminine form of орлов "eagle".
When she was seven, Fyodor Shalyapin predicted her future as a famous actress. She studied at the Moscow Conservatory but did not graduate because she had to work to support her parents. Her first husband, a Soviet economist, Andrei Berezin, was arrested in 1930. However, this did not affect her career.
In 1933 she met the novice director Grigory Alexandrov, who was casting actors for his movie Jolly Fellows (1934), and married him. Orlova's performance in this comedy, very popular in the USSR, earned the young star the sympathy of Stalin and the title "Honorable actor of the RSFSR".
