▪ 2001

      Russian actor and theatre director (b. Oct. 1, 1927, Moscow, U.S.S.R.—d. May 24, 2000, Moscow, Russia), was one of his country's finest and most influential directors; Yefremov championed new, young playwrights as well as offered classics by Anton Chekhov and others, first as the founding head (1957–70) of the Sovremennik (“Contemporary”) Theatre-Studio and then as artistic director of the famed Moscow Art Theatre (1970–87), founded by Konstantin Stanislavsky, and its spin-off Moscow Chekhov Art Theatre (1987–2000). As an actor Yefremov made several successful movies, but he was best known for his stage work, including his final appearance in Aleksandr Pushkin's Boris Godunov in 1994. Yefremov's funeral was attended by Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin and other dignitaries; he was buried in Moscow's Novodevichy Cemetery near Stanislavsky.
