On March 30, the legend of our cinema and theater, People's Artist of the USSR, passed away Lyudmila Markovna Gurchenko.
She died from heart attack in the 76th year of his life at about 19:00 in his Moscow apartment in a house on Trekhprudny Lane. The ambulance doctors who arrived 20 minutes later, no matter how hard they tried, could not do anything. If it weren't for the capital's traffic jams, who knows...
Let us remind you that in February of this year Lyudmila Markovna was walking with her dog near the house, it was very slippery, she slipped, fell and received a serious injury - a fracture of the femoral neck. After this, the actress underwent surgery, and, according to her husband, she felt good. Last week she was even discharged home...
Perhaps, if not for this ridiculous accident, the actress would have been alive. Alas...
By an evil irony of fate, a few weeks ago the Internet has already rushed to bury Lyudmila Markovna. Rumors about her death appeared simultaneously on several resources, and the actress’s husband even had to officially deny the information.
“You won’t wait for my death!” – Lyudmila Markovna said with a laugh then.
We waited...
Some critics called Gurchenko a miracle. It turns out that even a miracle has an end.
During her creative life, Lyudmila Markovna played more than 100 film roles - among them films beloved by millions "Carnival Night", "Old Walls", “Station for two”, “Five evenings”, “Beloved woman of mechanic Gavrilov”, “Love and doves”, "Old Nags"... She played more than a dozen roles in the theater. How much did she sing and how!
The actress’s last film, “Motley Twilight,” in which she acted as both director and composer, became her kind of farewell confession. In the film, the actress for the first time lifted the veil of personal secrets and hinted at her misfortune as a woman - her unfulfilled relationships with her closest people. And she intrigued everyone until the very end: “I’m in love again!”
The press attributed her to an affair with a young stylist, with whom she even managed to star in a new music video. True False? Most likely, another hoax of a talented woman who dreamed of love...
Television urgently made amendments to the broadcast schedule. Broadcast programs are dedicated to the death of the great actress “Let them talk”, “Looking at night”, “Temporarily available”...
“It was with deep sorrow that I learned about the death of the outstanding actress Lyudmila Markovna Gurchenko,” wrote Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in a telegram of condolences. “Her passing is an irreparable loss for the entire national culture.”
Late in the evening of March 30, the first flowers from fans of her talent began to appear near the house where Lyudmila Gurchenko lived.
Farewell to the actress will take place on Saturday, April 2, from 10 a.m., at the Central House of Writers. Gurchenko will be buried on the same day at the Novodevichy cemetery.
“Around TV” expresses its condolences to the husband and relatives of Lyudmila Markovna.

Unemployment, lack of money, intrigue, pettiness of the environment, loneliness - she went through all this with her head held high, proud, beautiful, stately, a real “Diva” Lyudmila Gurchenko.
The biography of Lyudmila Gurchenko could remain the story of an ordinary girl from Kharkov, where the actress was born. Lucy, as her loved ones called her all her life, went to first grade a week after the liberation of the city from the Nazis, in 1943. Gurchenko knew the war not from books - she sang in front of the Germans to bring home at least a piece of bread, saw the wounded and killed on the streets of the city, hid from bombings. Since childhood, she quickly grasped everything, was lively, bright, artistic, she knew for sure that she would become an artist! After school, she left for Moscow and entered VGIK and, while still studying at the acting department, played Lenochka Krylova in “Carnival Night.” But along with fame came intrigue and gossip. Gurchenko, in dire need of money, agreed to any acting “hack work,” for which she was often condemned by colleagues and journalists. But nothing could break Gurchenko’s spirit - she starred in one film after another, successfully playing both in musical films and in the images of dramatic heroines, such as in the films “Five Evenings”, “Flights in Dreams and in Reality”, "Station for two."

Gurchenko’s personal life was also not easy - she was married several times, which often gave food for gossip.

Last marriage, with Sergei Senin, lasted almost 20 years, until the death of Lyudmila Gurchenko. Gurchenko, who no longer believed in love or relationships, did not immediately take Sergei’s feelings seriously, but he was able to convince the actress of their sincerity, and until her very last days Gurchenko lived in love and care.
In February 2011, Gurchenko slipped on the street and broke her hip, requiring surgery. A few days after the operation, she was already at home when she suddenly became ill. The husband called an ambulance, but doctors were unable to resuscitate the actress. Gurchenko's death occurred at 19:28 on March 30, 2011. Two days later, a farewell to the great actress took place at the Central House of Writers; on this day, the funeral of Lyudmila Gurchenko took place at the Novodevichy Cemetery.

The legend of Soviet cinema, People's Artist of the USSR Lyudmila Gurchenko died on Wednesday at the age of 76. Her husband Sergei Senin told reporters about this.
According to him, the actress died at home - she felt bad, they called " ambulance", but the doctors were powerless.
According to preliminary data, actress Lyudmila Gurchenko died of a heart attack.
Lyudmila Gurchenko was born on November 12, 1935 in Kharkov.
Lyudmila Markovna Gurchenko was born on November 12, 1935 in Kharkov (Ukraine). She starred in more than 80 films. She was awarded the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, IV degree (2000) and III degree (2005) and the Badge of Honor " Public acceptance"(1998). Winner of many film awards.
Lyudmila Gurchenko made her film debut in Jan Fried's film "The Road of Truth", but her role in the New Year's comedy "Carnival Night" brought her fame and love from the audience.
Among her best works also include roles in such films as “Twenty Days Without War” by Alexei German, “Five Evenings” by Nikita Mikhalkov, “Station for Two” by Eldar Ryazanov, “The Beloved Woman of Mechanic Gavrilov” by Pyotr Todorovsky, “Flights in Dreams and in Reality” by Roman Balayan .
In 1982, Lyudmila Gurchenko’s book “My adult childhood". Later, the actress published the books "Applause" and "Lucy, Stop! ". In addition, several records were released with songs performed by her.
Last November, Lyudmila Gurchenko celebrated her 75th birthday. On the eve of the anniversary, she shot the film "Motley Twilight", for which she wrote the music herself, played the main role and sang herself. Until very recently, the actress continued to perform on stage and star in videos.
The place and time of farewell to Lyudmila Gurchenko is currently being clarified.
Lyudmila Markovna Gurchenko was a prima of acting. She was imitated, admired, envied and not recognized.
However, in any case, one can hardly find a person indifferent to her work.
Childhood
The future star was born on November 12. 1935 in Kharkov. The father whom Lyudmila idolized, Mark Gavrilovich, was from a family of poor hired peasants.
Relatives on my mother's side had noble roots. Grandfather - Alexander Simonov belonged to an ancient Slavic family, from which the Radonezh brothers came (the most famous monk Sergius of Radonezh).
Alexander Simonov headed the Moscow gymnasium; in 1917 he was arrested and sent into exile. Grandmother was a housewife.
She managed a noble estate in Smolensk, which was taken away after the revolution.
Lyudmila spent all her childhood years, until the war began, in Kharkov. The family lived in a small semi-basement apartment.
Lyudmila Gurchenko in her youth
Father was creative and musical man, who instilled in his daughter an interest and love for the stage.
He played the button accordion, so he often took part in various concerts, holidays and school performances.
Next to him behind the scenes was always Lyuda, in whom his father always saw the makings of a future artist.
When the war began, my father, despite his disability and age, volunteered for the front. Kharkov was captured by the Germans.
Lyudmila, in order to somehow survive, entertained the invaders with dances and songs from German operettas. She often covered Marika Rökk's repertoire.
Lyudmila Gurchenko in her youth
In 1943, Kharkov was liberated, and Lyudmila, albeit belatedly, went to 1st grade.
A few years later, simultaneously with general education, I began to attend the music school named after. Beethoven.
In 1953, having received a certificate, she decided to go to Moscow and enter VGIK. My father returned from the front in 1945 and strongly supported Lyudmila in her decision.
Thanks to his faith, Gurchenko becomes a student in Sergei Gerasimov’s workshop on the first try.
Study and cinema - career in Moscow
During the entrance exams, the commission was fascinated by her vocal abilities with a slight Ukrainian accent.
During her studies, she constantly participated in musical student productions, where she had the opportunity to reveal her talent.
For a long time, Lyudmila worked on her speech, removing her accent. And by the end of the 3rd year she spoke almost fluently.
Graduate work was represented by the operetta “Keto and Kote” and a role in some scenes of “The Trap” by T. Dreiser. In 1958 she became a professional actress.
While still a student, she starred in her first film, “The Road of Truth,” in 1956. Her parents were proud of her when they saw their daughter on the screen of the central cinema in Kharkov.
In the same year, Eldar Ryazanov invited Gurchenko to audition for his new musical film “Carnival Night,” the premiere of which was scheduled for the end of December.
This film brought great success to Lyudmila. She instantly became popular. Everyone was discussing not only the acting and vocal talents of the young actress, but also her surprisingly thin waist.
Moreover, according to Lyudmila herself, she came to the audition wearing several skirts to appear more voluminous.
In 1958 she appears in the film with a telling name"Girl with a Guitar" Lyudmila's financial situation in those years left much to be desired.
She gives concerts at various production sites (factories, mines), and organizes creative meetings with audiences throughout the country.
IN Soviet time such tours by actors were considered “hack work”, which discredited the name of the Soviet artist.
In 1957, Lyudmila Gurchenko was invited to educational conversation to the Minister of Culture - Nikolai Mikhailov.
He offered to turn a blind eye to her numerous part-time jobs if she agreed to cooperate with the KGB during the international festival in Moscow. Lyudmila refused, and after that she fell out of favor with many directors.
After a bright and rapid takeoff, a period of calm began when Lyudmila was no longer invited to auditions or offered a job.
This unfavorable period lasted about 10 years, and was very difficult for the energetic L. Gurchenko. In the prime of her strength, beauty and talent, no one needed her.
During this time, she was able to star in only 9 films, which were not very successful. These were “Workers’ Village”, “Walking”, “ Summer dreams" and others.
Lyudmila Gurchenko nevertheless gained fame as one of the brightest and leading actresses of Soviet cinema.
Most of all, she was successful in filming musical films and operettas. In 1974, the film “Straw Hat” was released.
Then, 2 years later, there were “Sky Swallows” and the musical fairy tale film “Mama.”
She was recognized for her work in the film “Station for Two” best actress according to a survey conducted by the magazine "Soviet Screen" in 1984.
Theater works
Immediately after graduation theater university, Lyudmila came to work at the acting theater studio, where she worked for 6 years.
Then in 1964 she joined the troupe of the Sovremennik Theater. There she was constantly in the background.
She was offered only minor roles or participation in crowd scenes. After 2 years she left there. However, later I really appreciated the experience gained.
TO theatrical activities she returns again years later, in the late 90s. Lyudmila Gurchenko plays in performances of the Satire Theater.
There she realized her old dream and created the musical “The Bureau of Happiness” together with director A. Zhitinkin.
TO latest works in the theater include “Unattainable” and “Madeleine, calm down!” delivered in 2001
In addition to theater and cinema, Lyudmila Gurchenko released 2 music album- “Songs of War” and “Favorite Songs”.
Personal life
Personal, like creative life The actress never stood still. Serious passions were boiling there. In total, Lyudmila Gurchenko was officially married 6 times.
She entered into her first marriage at the age of 18, in 1953. Her chosen one was the promising director Vasily Ordynsky.
However, a quiet divorce followed a couple of years later. Few people knew about this marriage, and Lyudmila did everything to prevent this fact from spoiling her biography.
The second marriage was concluded by Great love. She ran into handsome Boris Andronikashvili in the student cafeteria.
Their couple became the object of not only admiration, but also envy from their classmates. Lyudmila hoped so much that this marriage would be happy and, without thinking about her figure and career, she gave birth to a child.
With daughter Maria
Daughter Maria - only child Lyudmila Gurchenko, whom she did not like to talk about. After 3 years there was a divorce.
The next husband was actor Alexander Fadeev. They signed, practically without knowing each other, simply tired of loneliness, and after a short time the marriage broke up again.
The long and beautiful courtship of the handsome star Joseph Kobzon also led to the wedding. However, such 2 are strong and famous personalities couldn't get along together. Lyudmila was the first to file for divorce, and Joseph did not particularly object.
With husband Konstantin
Pianist Konstantin Kuperveys became the first who was able to give woman's happiness Lyudmila Gurchenko, disappointed in men. They lived together for 20 years, but his betrayal destroyed the family idyll.
