Who Discovered Nato Vachnadze?

Nato Vachnadze has shown up quite lately in the "star system" of the world cinematography. Nato Vachnadze has been considered the first and the biggest shining star of national cinematography. How it all began? Who discovered her? There exist many versions, but the most possible and correct version is that Nato Vachnadze was found by Shakro Berishvili. He paid attention to the photo displayed in the studio of the photographer Shichmann. Berishvili learned her address, and somehow, by inquiring the local population about Nato Vachnadze, managed to find her in Kakheti. After some hesitation, persuaded her to play a role in the movie "Arsena the thief".

On September 23, Nato Vachnadze approached the door of the film studio located in Plekhanov street, 164. This was the first day when the actress began to serve cinematography. This cooperation lasted for thirty years.
