In the memoirs “Notes of the actor and film director” (1965) A. I. Bek-Nazarov writes about Zoya Barantsevich:

Her game has always been thought out and verified, the executive technique is invariably flawless. Her ingenuity and resourcefulness were inexhaustible. But at the same time, Zoya Fedorovna was distinguished by great modesty and some unprecedented purity of thoughts and views. It was a pleasure to work with her. I realized this while working on our first joint film (it was called “The Mysterious World” and talked about the sentimental love of a certain Panda Wanda - she played Barantsevich - to the chairman of the esthete club, which I played).
