Victoria Fyodorova to wed Stamford airline pilot in Connecticut
Russian film star Victoria Fyodorova plans to marry Fred Polly of Stamford in a ceremony likely in Stamford. The 29 year old daughter of Adm. Jackson Tate will settle with Polly in his two story colonial home near Dolphin Cove after visa status allows her to stay in the United States. The couple’s wedding comes amid Polly’s privacy requests as neighbors describe him as a friendly bachelor in his early 40s and a Pan American pilot. Victoria, who reunited with her father after a long search, was born from wartime romance between her mother Zoya Fyodorova and naval attache Adm. Tate, who was banished from the Soviet Union after Stalin learned of the affair.
