She was an ordinary girl, working with a barber, just soaping people's faces, and she would have remained the same because she was already twenty-two, and then one American film director accidentally came to that barber's shop – there were twenty shops in that town – and when she was soaping his face he smiled, looking at the girl in the mirror, and said, 'How beautiful!'
