Alty Karliev
Alty Karliev (Turkmen: Alty Garlyýew; January 6, 1909 – December 11, 1973)[1] was a Soviet and Turkmen stage and film actor, director and dramatist. He studied at the Turkmen Drama Studio and the Baku Theatre College, graduating from the latter in 1931. After this, he worked as an actor at the Ashkhabad Drama Theatre.[2]
Karliev's first film appearance was as Kelkhan in the 1939 film Soviet Patriots. Other notable film roles included Nury in Dursun (1940) and Aldar Kose in The Magic Crystal (1945). His appearance in The Magic Crystal gained him a following across the Soviet Union.[2]
Karliev did not have any formal training as a director, but learned from Russian and Ukrainian directors. His first directing credit was in 1957, when he worked with Yevgeni Ivanov-Barkov on the first color film produced by Turkmenfilm, Extraordinary Mission. His next film was Ayna (1960). This was followed by The Decisive Step (1965).[2] His portrait was painted by Ivan Cherinko.[3]
