Leila Abashidze made her screen debut as a child alongside legendary Nato Vachnadze in Kajana (1941), but it was the hit romantic comedy called The Dragonfly (1954) which made her very popular throughout the Soviet Union and Europe. Then she appeared in another popular comedy The Scrapper (1956). After all that, she was associated with comedies, but this stereotype was destroyed after she had starred in the critically acclaimed historical drama Maia Tskneteli (1959). She has had one of her biggest commercial successes with the drama Meeting Past (1966), for which, in 1968, she was awarded on Leningrad (now: Saint Petersburg) Film Festival as a Best Actress. Also she achieved wider fame after her appearance in tragical drama Khevisberi Gocha (1964) and in one of the most popular romantic comedies Meeting in Mountains (1966).
