Mariya Ivanovna Babanova (Мария Ивановна Бабанова; 11 November 1900 - 4 April 1983) was the brightest female star of the Moscow stage in the 1920s. She has been described as Meyerhold's greatest actress〔Robert Leach. ''Makers of Modern Theatre''. Routledge, 2004. Page 65.〕 and was named a People's Artist of the USSR in 1954. Maria Babanova made her debut in Theodore Komisarjevsky's theatre in 1919. A year later, she joined Vsevolod Meyerhold's acting courses. Described as "a small, radiant, energetic actor",〔''Theatre Histories: An Introduction'' (ed. Phillip B. Zarrilli). Taylor & Francis, 2010. Page 382.〕 Babanova captivated the Moscow public in Meyerhold's production of ''The Magnanimous Cuckold'' (1922). The three leading players, Igor Ilinsky, Maria Babanova and Vasily Zaichikov were so in harmony they became known collectively as 'Il-Ba-Zai'.〔Robert Leach. ''Revolutionary Theatre''. Routledge, 2005. Page 111.〕 Babanova was viewed as the first great actress to emerge after the October Revolution. A typical review of her acting read as follows:〔Edward Braun. ''Meyerhold: A Revolution in Theatre''. A&C Black, 2013. ISBN 9781408148792. Page 182.〕 Babanova's triumphs aroused the jealousy of Meyerhold's wife, Zinaida Reich. In 1927, Babanova was forced to leave Meyerhold's troupe, as major female roles went to Reich and she felt underemployed. Although her later career was not as scintillating, Babanova excelled at the Mayakovsky Theatre in the roles of children and adolescents which involved a good deal of crossdressing. She retired from acting in 1975. ==Filmography== * ''Goluboy meteorit'' (1971) (TV) (voice) (as M. I. Babanova) ....
