Marina Vlady (fr. Marina Vlady), real name - Ekaterina Marina Vladimirovna Polyakova-Baidarova (fr. Catherine Marina de Poliakoff-Baïdaroff). Born May 10, 1938 in Clichy-la-Garenne (France). French actress and singer of Russian origin.
Ekaterina Marina Polyakova-Baydarova, who became known as Marina Vlady, was born on May 10, 1938 in the suburbs of Paris, the town of Clichy-la-Garenne.
Father - Vladimir Vasilievich Polyakov-Baydarov, an artist of opera houses in Paris and Monte Carlo, a native of Moscow. Moved to France during World War I.
Mother - Militsa Evgenievna Envald, ballerina, daughter of a Russian general.
"I am Russian, only with a French passport. My father graduated from the Moscow Conservatory. When the First World War began, he left for France to join the army as a volunteer. He was the only son of a widowed mother, and the Russian army did not take him. He became a pilot. , was wounded, was awarded the military cross. After the war, he stayed in France, worked at the Parisian opera, sang seven seasons at the opera Monte Carlo. Was acquainted with Modigliani, Matisse, Delaunay. My mother's family left Russia in 1919. My mother ended up in Belgrade and there I met my father, Vladimir Polyakov, who came on tour.
My mother was brought up in St. Petersburg, at the Smolny Institute for Noble Maidens. In 1917 she was 18 years old. She was one of those who, inspired by new ideas, hung red patches on the windows on the day of the uprising. Then she saw how the Jewish clothiers were smashed, and for the rest of her life she remembered how huge pieces of cloth, shimmering in different colors, were scattered, unwound all over the street. Then they killed her beloved cool lady, and she, like many girls, fled abroad in fear. So she, having gone through many tragic episodes, ended up in Paris, "said Marina Vlady.
Marina is the youngest of four daughters. Marina took the pseudonym "Vladi" in honor of her father, after his death. All of her sisters also adopted pseudonyms.
Olga(Olga de Poliakoff-Baïdaroff) (05.05.1928 - 03.09.2009), TV director, pseudonym - Olga Varen(Olga Varen).
Tanya(Tania de Poliakoff-Baïdaroff) (06/14/1930 - 06/23/1980), actress, pseudonym - Odile Versoix(Odile Versois).
Militsa(Militza de Poliakoff-Baïdaroff) (02.02.1932 - 01.08.1988), actress, pseudonym - Helene Valier(Hélène Vallier).
At one time in France there was a very popular performance based on Chekhov's play "Three Sisters", in which the Polyakov sisters played.
As the magazine "Pari-Match" wrote, the common capital letter V in all four pseudonyms of the sisters means the word victory - la Victoire.
She appeared on the stage at the age of four. And already at the age of 10 she made her film debut, playing a small role in the melodrama "Summer Thunderstorm" by J. Geret (Orage d "été, 1949). The main role in this film was played by Marina's sister, Odile Versois.
Then she performed roles in the films "Forgive my French", "Jacqueline", "Black Feathers". Later, Marina will tell that one of her first fans was, with whom she played in the film "Black Feathers". It was the 27-year-old at that time, Marcello, gave the young girl her first lessons in flirting.
A year later, on the set of the film "Days of Love", Marina fell into the arms (however, they never had a real romance, according to the actress).

Her first major film work was the comedy "First Love" (L "età dell" amore, 1953).
And wide popularity came to her in 1955 after the role of Eve in the film "Scoundrels Go to Hell".

And in 1956 she played the main character in the drama "The Witch" (La sorcière). “I was not even 16 years old then, and although I, like all the girls of my generation, read a lot, including Kuprin, I didn’t do much psychology. I was given a text and I played it. It seems to me that before I still play this way - more as a person, not as an actress, "she recalled.
The film "The Witch" was a huge success in the USSR. Much later, the actress said: "They still write to me a lot from Russia - not only as Vysotsky's wife, but also as a" witch. " cinema, and crowds of girls rushed to me, each of whom was my copy - loose hair, bangs. They kissed me, I was all in lipstick. "

In the late 50s, Marina starred in the films of her first husband, actor and director Robert Hossein. Later she played in the films The Princess of Cleves, The Steps of Marriage, The American Wife. Several films with the participation of Marina Vlady were released annually. The actress's partners on the set were Jean-Paul Belmondo, Jean Mare, Robert Hossein, Hugo Tognatsi, Gerard Depardieu.
For the lead role in Marco Ferreri's Queen Bee (L "ape regina, 1963), Marina Vlady received the Silver Branch of the Cannes Film Festival as best actress of the year. She was also nominated for a Golden Globe for this work.
In 1969, Marina Vlady, together with Nikolai Grinko, Iya Savina and Rolan Bykov, starred in the Soviet film "A plot for a short story." Later on the screens came out the pictures "Seven Deaths by Prescription" and "The Baghdad Thief".
In the 1980s, the actress acted actively on television. Since the mid-1980s, she began to appear on the screen somewhat less often, working in parallel on stage and stage.

In the 2000s, several films with the participation of Marina Vladi were also released: the mini-series Victoire, ou la douleur des femmes (2000), the film Resurrection based on the novel by Leo Tolstoy, and the drama A Few Hours of Recreation. Starred in the film 3 Women in Anger (2013), played in the tapes Sam (2015) and Fanny's Journey (2016)
In 2006, Marina Vlady, together with director Jean-Luc Tardier, staged a play in French "Vladimir, or an interrupted flight ..." according to the book of the same name by her authorship. "This is a very big work. Forty-five numbers in an hour fifteen. I read fragments of my book and Volodya's notes in French, I sing his songs in Russian. There are three musicians nearby," she said about the performance.
Wrote a novel "My cherry orchard", which is essentially an autobiography. “I decided to tell the story of my family, prolonging the lives of the heroes of The Cherry Orchard, which I played many times. And the story of my loved ones is very similar to this Chekhov play, because my grandmother had a similar large cherry orchard near Kursk. My grandfather is a general. White army, and my mother - the main character of the book - a graduate of the Smolny Institute, who survived the revolution and the Civil War. At the end of the book, as in life, she meets with Volodya, blessing me to live with him, "- said the actress.
Then another book by Vladi came out - "On the beach, the man in black"... In it, she frankly spoke about her illness, for which she had treated Vysotsky in due time - alcoholism. Marina's addiction to alcohol began with the illness of her fourth husband Leon. With a diagnosis of liver cancer, he lived for four years, and Marina, in order to numb the pain and fear for him, began to drink.

Personal life of Marina Vladi:
She was married four times.
First husband - Robert Hossein (December 23, 1955-1959), actor and director (known for films about Angelica). He is 11 years older than her. In this marriage, two sons were born: Igor (lives in the Pyrenees in France)) and Peter (Pierre) (guitarist and balalaika player, lives in the south of France). The marriage broke up pretty quickly: the spouses often quarreled and, after the divorce, for a long time felt real hatred for each other.
Second husband - Jean-Claude Brouillet (1963-1966), pilot and airline owner in Africa. From him, the actress gave birth to another son - Vladimir (lives in Tahiti). But this marriage was unsuccessful - it lasted only two years.
Jean-Claude Bruillet - second husband of Marina Vladi
The third husband is a poet and actor. In 1968 Marina Vlady came to Moscow to shoot the film "Subject for a Short Story". Here she met Vladimir Vysotsky, who became her husband in 1971.
“I appreciated Volodya, first of all, as a poet and actor. It was not love for him at first sight as a man. I think that he respected me as an actress too. Although he liked me as a woman, I felt it. for a long time rubbed against each other. For almost a year they remained only friends - they met in companies, talked. Gradually, interest in each other turned into love, "she said.
After the death of Vladimir Vysotsky, Marina Vladi was severely depressed, there were rumors that she tried to commit suicide.
In 2015. In particular, the poet's death mask and the original of his last poem (written on a travel card and dated June 11, 1980). "I am moving. I live alone in a big house, which is not so easy. That is why the time has come to move closer to Paris. I will have a small apartment, and, of course, you cannot take everything with me. I am parting with jewelry, paintings, sculptures, books." - she explained.
The fourth husband is Léon Schwartzenberg (1981-2003), an oncologist, died of cancer in 2003.
Leon Schwarzenberg was the doctor of the Marina Vlady family. In 1981, at the request of Marina, he helped a terminally ill patient. And when Marina, after the death of Vysotsky, began a severe depression, Schwarzenberg saved her too. Then Leon left his wife and son, leaving them a house, and asked Marina to temporarily shelter him. But serious tests awaited him. He, the Minister of Health and at the same time a staunch supporter of euthanasia, was persecuted. One day a journalist asked Marina what she thought about the "Schwarzenberg case", and she, with her usual harshness, declared that she was confident in the honesty of this man, since she was living with him.
After his death, she lived alone for two years and was in real alcoholic captivity. She was saved from complete despair and suicide by the dogs, which had to be looked after, and another passion - writing.
She told about her sons: "The eldest was an artist, but, unfortunately, he was hit by a car, so now he does not do anything. He lives - and this is already very good. The second son is a musician, a classical guitarist. Soon he will have a concert in Paris - together with his father, Robert Hossein. And the third ... How to say in Russian? Not an adventurer, no ... A man of a free profession. His father did not do anything, and his son followed in his footsteps. He was a pilot , then grew black pearls, then married a girl from South America, moved, got cows, became a cowboy - he had four thousand cows. Ten years later he divorced and opened a restaurant. And now he is a photographer and also does Thai massage. All this he did well, but he dropped everything halfway. "
Despite her age, Marina looks good.
She said about the secrets of her beauty: "I do not recognize plastic surgeries, after them it is impossible to look at a person. My mother died at 72, she was like a rose until the last day, so I apparently have good genes. In addition, I I ate little all my life and weighed 54 kilograms. True, when I stopped being a movie star, I allowed myself to eat everything, and when I played Gertrude, my weight was 80 kilograms. But it doesn't matter. The main thing is that you have good brain And it’s good at heart. I’m always saved by work. Love, of course, is very important for a woman, but not all of them fall out. Not everyone manages to meet such people with whom I lived. All my men were unique people. "

The temperamental beauty (she took a pseudonym in memory of her father - opera artist Vladimir Polyakov-Baydarov) was married four times
An actor and director of Azerbaijani-Iranian origin became Marina's first spouse Robert Hossein... He became a star after the role of Joffrey de Peyrac in the trilogy about Angelica, where he shone with Michelle Mercier... The first time Robert saw Marina when she was 11 years old, and he was 20 (he was friends with her older sister).
Even then, she was devilishly beautiful! - recalls the Frenchman.
When the girl turned 16, Robert completely lost his head.
OSSEIN became famous for his love scenes with Michel MERCIER in films about Angelica
I did everything to please her, but Marina, even when we became close, only laughed at me: “You are not my type. To make me your wife, scoop out the ocean with a spoon! " - shared Hossein. - She gave up after two years. I was an absolutely happy man. But not for long. We lived in a house with her family. Sometimes it seemed that I was married to all four sisters at the same time.
Marina gave birth to two sons from Robert. Younger - Peter (Pierre) lives in the south of France; he is a guitarist and balalaika player. The eldest - Igor - at the age of 15, sat down firmly on drugs and plunged into his own world: he lived in Polynesia, painted pictures there. When he was 40, a terrible accident happened: Igor and his friends were standing on the side of the road, and suddenly a car drove into them at great speed. The man was permanently disabled.
Oncologist SCHWARTZENBERG dies of liver cancer Doctor and death
Vladi's second husband was a pilot and owner of an airline in Africa Jean-Claude Bruillet... In this marriage, Vladimir was born. In 1970, she married Vysotsky, and a year after his death she got along with an oncologist Leon Schwarzenberg who died of liver cancer in 2003. Incidentally, Express Gazeta was the first Russian media to report on their romance.
Marina and Leon were introduced by the director Andrey Tarkovsky who was his patient. Schwarzenberg then treated the mother and sister of Marina for cancer. And the actress was under his supervision during the severe depression after the death of Vysotsky. In addition, it so happened that at that time the doctor left the family, leaving his wife and son his home.
VLADI's second husband was a former pilot Vladi took him in as a friend. But pretty quickly they began to fall asleep and wake up in the same bed. Leon never objected if Marina included Vysotsky's records, and did not demand to remove his portrait from the wall.
For the propaganda of efthanasia - the painless killing of hopeless patients with their consent - Schwarzenberg lost his post as Minister of Health of France. He was also accused of bribes. And Marina has always warmly supported her husband.
All this is real bullying, - she said. - I live with this man and I know what he breathes!
Naughty panties
The death of her husband knocked down the actress.
Leon was ill for a long time and left very hard, - the emigrant told us Tatiana Maret-Froloff... - Marina selflessly looked after him. It seems that his and Marinino's hearts stopped at the same time. She has lost the meaning of life. Seriously washed down. Closed in her world. Robert Hossein supported her, called constantly. Apparently, his feelings for Marina have not dulled over the years. I'm really sorry for Hossein. He suffered terribly after the divorce. I met him many times, and he did not say a bad word about Marinka. It was evident that, besides her, he did not need anyone. Did she need him? At 17, yes! And as it became unnecessary, I left it. I went on a spree. And for that she was punished - by loneliness. She never really found her female happiness.
Our family was constantly in the house Polyakov... Dad would sometimes sit at the card table with the head of the clan. These were wonderful evenings: they played the piano, sang Russian and gypsy romances. And what borscht with sour cream was served to us!
Marina Vladi was then just Marinka. I liked one of her sisters better - Melitsa. A kind, open girl, she remained so until her death. Grief that she died tragically: she fell down the stairs, but she could not get up. A blood clot - and death.
Four daughters of an opera star and a ballerina (Marina - on the right) Marina has always been cocky. The entire Polyakov family was creative: mother was a ballerina, father sang romances. And they forced their daughters to dance. Marinka especially liked it. She always danced with striptease elements. And her parents encouraged this, they wanted their beautiful daughter to become famous, to act in films. I remember well one Christmas holiday. Marinka was wearing a blue dress with a blue bow at the belt. When she danced, she raised her dress and legs so high that her mischievous panties were visible.
And she did it deliberately. The adults clapped and praised her. She learned very early to seduce the right men, and becoming an actress was her vocation.
All four daughters were not allowed to eat sweets and starchy foods, and I secretly brought them sweets. Melitsa ate them with pleasure, but Marinka never. Once she even called me a fat roll and threatened that she would tell my mother everything if I continued to carry them chocolate. It was only later that I realized that she really wanted sweets, but she could not afford it. She dreamed of dancing.
Having dragged Marina to bed, Vladimir won a box of vodka
Vysotsky's friend - actor Igor Pushkarev - said:
Volodya got into a bet with Marina. She starred in the Soviet Union at Yutkevich in the film "Plot for a short story." We were very proud then - of course! - Marina Vladi - Polyakova, she's one of ours. For Soviet cinema, such shooting was almost the first. But when the newspapers trumpeted that the Frenchwoman had arrived with her lover - some kind of Romanian, and even with children and a servant, it came as a shock. They lived in different hotels in suites. Because the western star was supposed to be so in rank.
Volodka, when he found out about everything, immediately said: "I'll have Marina!" - "Are you crazy?" - we shouted - friends. And they argued! On a box of vodka.
Volodka won the argument beautifully. He not only slept with Marina, recaptured her from the Romanian, but also became her husband.
Million for memory
In November 2015, Marina VLADI sold a lot of memorabilia under the hammer. The auction took place at the largest auction house in Paris Drouot.
In the catalog "Memories of Vladimir Vysotsky and Marina Vladi" 197 lots were described. The most valuable ones that went under the hammer were:
- the last poem of the bard, written on June 11, 1980 - 252 000 Euro;
- death mask of the artist from an alloy of silver and bronze - 69 300 Euro;
- platinum diamond ring from Cartier - 32 760 Euro.
The last verse sold at auction for 252 thousand euros They were acquired by a Ural businessman Andrey Gavrilovsky... And he exhibited it at the Vysotsky Museum in Yekaterinburg. Vladi was so imbued with this man that she decided to donate part of her personal archive to his museum. These are more than 100 documents, photos from the family album, personal letters. And also a Cartier watch, presented to Vladimir Semenovich by her second husband - Jean- Claude Bruillet while traveling in Haiti.
Several of the artist's works were sold at a Paris auction that day. Mikhail Shemyakin... The most expensive was the watercolor "Wolfhound and the Woman" autographed by the master. She left for 7500 euros.
Among the books, the most interesting was the explanatory dictionary with illustrations Pablo Picasso- it was sold for 4000 euros.
Per € 9500 bought a series of photographs of Vladimir Semyonovich, made on auditions for the film "Catherine II and Pugachev", in which the poet never played.
In total, Marina earned a million euros in one evening!
Of course, the 77-year-old woman was immediately accused of commercialism, but she said that it was not about money, but about moving - Marina was moving from a large country house to a small Parisian apartment, and therefore got rid of the excess.
I turn my life around and throw myself into the future, ”she said then in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
This woman is known to us as the wife of Vladimir Vysotsky. In Europe, everything is exactly the opposite: the bard Vysotsky was known only as the husband of the legendary Marina Vlady. This year the actress turned 74 years old.
“For some, 70 years is like an instant. And for me - many, many lives, - Vladi admits. "Each of them is a colossal range of happiness and tragedy." The actress is not disingenuous. This woman had to endure an incredible number of losses and disappointments. Here are just a few sketches from her amazing fate.
First life: the witch
“Marina was not a beauty. But there was something in her that struck any man at first sight "- this is how the actor and director Marcello Mastroianni recalled young Vladi. They met on the set of the film "Black Feathers". Marina was barely 15, Marcello was already 27. “He taught me my first lessons in flirting,” the actress recalls flirtatiously. Well, Mastroianni's friends insist that he - an experienced heartthrob by that time - completely lost his head. Marcello carried the girl in his arms, introduced her to the cinema ...
And he got a broken heart in return: a windy teenage girl, enjoying the attention of a famous partner, switched to another object - the handsome Marlon Brando. Marlon turned out to be more restrained than Mastroianni: “Unfortunately, we didn’t have a real romance,” Vladi admitted.
However, it was not in her then habit to worry about men. After the film "The Witch" (in which Vladi played the witch Olesya from Kuprin's story) this nickname stuck to the actress: "The girl is really a witch. Turn the head of so many men! " - whispered in a movie party. Not in vain. Marina managed to fall in love with even the famous directors Orson Welles and Jean-Luc Godard: both offered her a hand and a heart. But the girl opted for the actor Robert Hossein.
Second life: how Marina did not become Angelica
She was 17, he was 28. The heroine of "The Witch" and the hero of "Angelique" (Robert Hossein became famous for the role of Count Geoffrey de Peyrac) for five years of marriage were considered one of the most beautiful couples in French cinema. True, the actress herself flatly refused to play Angelica, although it was she who was first offered the role of the "Marquise of the Angels".
Why refused? They say, despite the passion, the spouses could not be with each other for a long time. Love quickly turned into scandals. Having given birth to two sons, Igor and Peter, Marina and Robert parted. And it’s very bad: for many years to come, they felt very real hatred for each other.
Third life: "I'm dying again"
"I will never marry!" - after the divorce from the "Count" the young maximalist promised. But she didn't keep her promise. Her second husband was Jean-Claude Bruyet, a test pilot and owner of an airline in Africa. They say that Marina could not resist the halo of heroic romance. From Jean-Claude, the actress gave birth to another son - Vladimir. And then the couple quietly and peacefully parted.
By that time, Vladi had matured. She was no longer interested in fleeting romances, and the fans were fed up. Therefore, in the late 1960s, she gladly accepted the invitation of the Soviet director Sergei Yutkevich to take part in his film. “I am flying to Moscow. I hope I can take a break from parties and gentlemen there, ”she said.
Vladi arrived in the USSR with her mother and three sons. The actress expected to stay in the country of "boots and bears" for no more than a couple of months, but having met Vladimir Vysotsky, she stayed for 12 years. Dozens of books have been written about that novel. But what the actress herself recalls:
- “Vladimir was the greatest passion of my life. Of course, I also loved other men. But love, passion is he. "
- “On December 1, 1971, I married him. We decided that our marriage would allow him to leave the USSR. Alas, this turned out to be an illusion that quickly gave way to disappointment. In Russia, Vladimir felt like a prisoner, and in France - an unnecessary person. "
- “That marriage incinerated me. Since then, I have not been able to hear Volodya's recordings. When he sings, I still hold on, but as soon as I start talking to the audience, the feeling that he is here, next to me, becomes unbearable. I can not. I die anew every time. "
Fourth life: it's over
The death of Vysotsky broke her down. In the USSR, the Frenchwoman Vlady was disliked. And at home, the actress began a severe depression. They say that Marina even tried to commit suicide.
She was saved by oncologist Leon Schwarzenberg. For many years he treated Marina's sister for cancer. In 1981, at the request of the actress, he nursed the terminally ill Andrei Tarkovsky. And then he helped to survive the tragedy of life and Vlad herself. Leon left his wife and son, leaving them a house, and asked Marina to temporarily shelter him. "Temporarily" dragged on for 23 years ...
Hand in hand, this couple went through serious trials. Leon, the Minister of Health and at the same time a staunch supporter of euthanasia, was harassed, accused of killing several hopelessly ill people. Marina desperately defended her civil husband in the press: “I live with this man in the same house and sleep in the same bed. And I can swear on blood that I don't know anyone more honest than Leon! "
A wicked irony of fate: Schwarzenberg died of the same disease from which he treated people for many years - cancer. In the last months of his life, Marina, in order to drown out the pain and fear, began to kiss the bottle. And after the funeral, she locked herself in the house and for several years left it once a week: to buy a little food and a lot of alcohol. “It seemed to me that my life was over. The children are far away, there are no family men left. My dogs, which had to be looked after, saved me from complete despair and suicide. And another passion is writing, ”Marina later admitted.
Life N: Not Last
She has more than two dozen books on her account. “The world of illusions turned out to be much calmer and kinder than the real world,” says Vladi, smiling. But the smile turns out to be bitter. “This woman had to endure so many tragedies that her heart turned into a piece of iron,” a well-known French journalist once wrote.
The actress buried her two beloved husbands. I almost buried my son: Igor had a car accident several years ago and lay in a coma for a long time. His daughters, Marina's granddaughters, who were traveling with their father, died. “For some time now, I’m not afraid of death at all,” says Vladi, smiling brightly.
And France recalls an eerie story when the actress was seriously late for a press conference associated with the release of her new book. She burst into the hall, out of breath and smiling, and from the doorway said: “Sorry for being late! My grandson died today, then there was nowhere to park the car ... "Seeing the horror on the faces of the journalists, she hurried to explain:" Oh, well, you know, the son and his daughter-in-law threw such a tantrum! I had to calm them down like little ones. And the baby was not even a week old, he died in the maternity hospital.
However, despite the “iron heart” and a rare disregard for death, Marina Vlady still repeats one thing: “The greatest happiness is to live. I have buried so many - husbands, parents, sisters, children - that I know for sure. Now I need to live not only for myself, but also for my dead. "

But soon everything changed: “Marina did not want to part with her sisters, parents, this habitual way of life. And I could no longer live on the collective farm! Sometimes it seemed to me that I was married to all four sisters at once. Years of scandals and quarrels followed. We parted painfully - even two little sons could not keep us together. You can't build a relationship when only one person is ready to do anything for the sake of another, and the other… I sincerely and selflessly loved Marina.

You say you would like to leave here and sing for me. ... In the car, we continue to silently look at each other ... I see your eyes - shining and tender, a short-cropped nape, two days of stubble, cheeks sunken from fatigue. You are ugly, you have an unremarkable appearance, but you have an extraordinary look. As soon as we arrive at Max's, you take your guitar. I am amazed by your voice, your strength, your cry. And also the fact that you are sitting at my feet and singing for me alone ... And right there, without any transition, you say that you have loved me for a long time. Like any actress, I have heard such inappropriate confessions. But with your words, I'm really excited. "

Long months of flirting, sly looks and tenderness were like a prelude to something immeasurably greater. Each found the missing half in the other. We are drowning in an endless space, where there is nothing but love. " However, skeptics still question her sincerity.

One of the most beautiful actresses |
Andrei Gavrilovsky, a Ural businessman and devoted fan of the work of Vladimir Vysotsky, visited Marina Vladi a month ago. The entrepreneur told how the muse of the bard and the poet spends his free time.
Vlady has elegantly furnished her home in Paris, canaries sing in the living room of the French actress, and in the bedroom there is an exercise bike, on which Marina works every day. The musician's widow planted birches under the windows in a small garden. It was Andrei Gavrilovsky who helped her to buy a two-room apartment, the man explained his act. Prior to that, the actress lived in a country house.
“She had more than an hour to drive to Paris. And Marina is no longer at that age. She lives alone, she doesn't need mansions. When she found this apartment, a deposit had already been paid for it. But the elderly mistress Vlady found out: “My husband loved you very much. I cannot refuse. " As a result, the deposit was returned to the buyers, and the apartment was sold to Marina. Although for France this is nonsense! " - the entrepreneur shared.

Gavrilovsky noted that for her age Marina Vladi looks great. The actress does not go on diets, she regularly goes in for sports. Marina walks the streets of Paris every day.
“She is a real entertainer and a prankster. Once they tried to call a taxi with their son in Paris, while visiting Vladi. The phones didn't work. And she says to Vadik: "Go, order from my computer." He ordered. And she comes up to him and says sternly: “Well? Have you looked at everything there? Have you downloaded everything? " He was a poor fellow at a loss. And she just made fun of him! " - the entrepreneur shared.
According to Gavrilovsky, Vladi needs money to help children and grandchildren. The actress has three sons, whom she gave birth to before meeting Vysotsky. Igor and Peter appeared in their first marriage with actor Robert Hossein. The last heir, Vladimir, was born to the artist from the second union with the pilot Jean-Claude Bruillet.
“Creative guys, can you make money with creativity? Peter is a musician, Igor is already over 60, his health is not very good. Vladimir is fishing in Tahiti. He goes to the ocean on his own boat, takes the caught fish to restaurants. He says that when Russian tourists find out that he is the son of Marina Vlady, they look at him as if he were God, ”said Gavrilovsky.

Gavrilovsky noted that with the heirs of Vladimir Semenovich Vysotsky from his first marriages, Arkady and Nikita, Vlad did not have a relationship. Families have always communicated formally. But after the release of the film “Vysotsky. Thank you for being alive. ”The widow and the sons of the famous bard broke the connection completely.
“Marina was outraged that her husband was portrayed as a drug addict,” says Andrei Gavrilovsky. - I talked about this with Nikita Vysotsky. He wanted to show young people that even a strong person like his father could not cope with this infection. Marina did not understand this, ”explained Gavrilovsky.
It is worth noting that the actress to this day closely monitors who and how performs the compositions of the deceased spouse.
“She likes the performance of Grigory Leps, and Polina Konkina at the show“ The Voice ”sang“ Hunt for Wolves ”better than any man! And Marina also loves when friends read poetry by Vladimir Semyonovich. We used to sit on the terrace and drink tea. And she says: "Read!" - says the businessman.
Recently, Vladi has further limited her social circle. Marina is not planning a trip to Russia.
“Several years ago, when the noise arose because of the auction, they say, the things of the legend cannot be sold, a girl came to Marina. Introduced as a correspondent for Polish television, begged for an interview. She said her child was sick and she would be fired. And then it turned out that she was a Russian journalist, and everything that Marina said was cut into pieces and used against her. I say: "Marina Vladimirovna, don't give a damn, forget it." But she takes everything to heart: “No! They are rascals. " And more and more "friends" of Vysotsky appear. One famous artist says: "When my son was born, Vysotsky took off the cross from his neck and put it on him." Well, nonsense! Vladimir was an atheist, put on the first cross six months before his death. This is a well-known fact! " - shared Gavrilovsky with "KP".
