His father, Aleksei Eremeyevich Filatov, was a radio engineer who traveled frequently, and his parents divorced when he was 7 years old. Young Leonid Filatov moved with his mother, Klavdia Nikolaevna Filatova, to the city of Ashkhabad, Tadjikistan. There he made his stage acting debut in an amateur play at a secondary school. In 1965 he came to Moscow and applied to State Institute of Cinematography (VGIK), but failed the entrance exam. However, his persistence and determination soon paid off, and from 1965 - 1969 Filatov studied at Schukin Theatrical School at Vakhtangov theatre, graduating in 1969, as an actor.
From 1969 - 1985 and from 1987 - 1993 Filatov was a permanent member of the legendary troupe at Taganka Theatre under the leadership of director Yuriy Lyubimov. There his stage partners were Vladimir Vysotskiy, Valeriy Zolotukhin, Ivan Dykhovichnyy, Natalya Sayko, Boris Galkin, and Aleksandr Porokhovshchikov among other notable Russian actors.

In 1993 Filatov joined Nikolay Gubenko, Natalya Sayko, Zhanna Bolotova, and Nina Shatskaya in formation of an independent company called "Sodruzhestvo akterov Taganki" (aka.. Fraternity of actors from Taganka).
Leonid Filatov shot to fame with the leading role as Igor Skvortsov opposite Georgi Zhzhyonov and Alexandra Yakovleva in a popular Russian film Ekipazh (1980), by director Aleksandr Mitta. During the 1990s Filatov made a career as film director. From 1994 - 1997 he hosted a popular TV show on the Russian National TV, titled "Chtoby pomnili" (aka.. To be remembered). In 1997 Filatov suffered from a stroke, then had his kidneys removed, and remained bedridden for several years. He received thousands of letters from his fans and admirers. Filatov also was comforted by his beloved wife, Nina Shatskaya who cared for him during all seven years of his illness. At that time Filatov suffered from much physical and emotional pain, as well as from depression because he was unable to go back to acting, so he expressed himself through writing.
Leonid Filatov was designated People's Artist of Russia (1994). He was awarded the state Prize of Russia for his work in theatre and film. His books and plays were adapted to stage and film.

Salahuddin, a successful film maker of the early era of Bangladeshi Film Industry, was born on March 30, 1926 in Noakhali, East Bengal, British India. He directed a total of five films in the 1960s, all of which were critically and commercially acclaimed.
He was a science graduate. In his student life he was associated with theater and music. Then he shifted his interest towards film making. He was one of the earliest of the filmmakers who started making films in the then flourishing film industry in Dhaka. His first film was Je Nodi Morupothay (1961), released in 1961. It deals with problems faced by urban middle-class families. Shurjosnan (1962) is his next film. This film is an adaptation of a novel by Alauddin Al Azad. It created furor among the ruling government when it was submitted for censorship at that time as it depicted the struggle against the oppression over the working class. The release of the film was delayed due to the subject of the film. It was one of the best earlier films made in our country and was acclaimed by critics far and wide. Baby Islam's fine cinematography is an added attraction of the film. Salahuddin then turned his attention to a play called Dharapat, written by Amjad Hossain. He adapted the play for big screen into a film called Dharapat (1963). This adaptation along with his earlier films dealt with the themes and issues related very much to life.
His next film, Rupban (1965), was a milestone in our film history. At a time when there was an influx of Urdu-language films and our Bangla cinema was facing tremendous challenge, Salahuddin came up with a folk-based story to confront it. This film is an adaptation of a popular 'Jatra' or folk theater of the same name, with melodramatic stories of kings and queens, royal families and conspiracies and so on. 'Jatra's' are often based on mythological, legendary and religious characters. Songs are an integral part of the 'Jatra's' and popular dance-interludes are an added attraction. The plot revolves around the tribulations of Rupban, who is married to Rahim Badshah (King Rahim) twelve years younger to her. When Rupban was twelve, she was married to the just-born Rahim. She has to bring him up all by herself like a mother, but she is in reality, his wife. Rahim cannot consider Rupban as his wife, as she is like a mother to him. As a result, when Rahim grew up, he became attracted to another woman called Tajel. Dealing with the 'Oedipus complex', it was really a bold step on behalf of Salahuddin at a time when our film industry was just growing up. He made another film Alo Moti (1969) in 1969. After that he bade farewell to film making. He came back for a short period of time as the directorial adviser to Harunur Rashid, his one-time assistant, in the film Megher Onek Rong (1976).
Salahuddin died in Indianapolis in the state of Indiana, USA, on 26th October 2003.- Actor
