One of the people who was allowed to visit her was Rob Fay: “Kathleen did a great job of making the ward feel like home,” he says. “Gia wanted to film a story in which she would tell children about drugs. So that they know what drugs can lead to. She wanted to say that you can fight this. But for some reason we never recorded it. IN last time“When I saw Gia, she couldn’t speak, I knew she was dying.” Then Gia's mother finally broke her silence to speak out about tragic fate to his daughter. “I was with her until the end,” Kathleen said. “We sat in the park and talked. We both knew that she didn’t have much desire to live. Gia then said: “I overdosed three times - why did God save me then?” “Gia’s face was beautiful to the end. She had a renewed faith in God. A portrait of Jesus was pinned to the door of her room." Within a few weeks, Gia's health rapidly deteriorated. In October, four weeks before her death, she was placed in isolation. Her body was covered with numerous ulcers that had formed in consequence of illness. "Gia turned to me and said her last words: “I think I’ll see HIM tonight.” I say: “No, no, live here. For Mom.

Vitsin played in the theater until the end, and gave his rich apartment to his beloved daughter. He moved to Khrushchev, where he began to avoid public life and even communication with neighbors.
In the small circle of his acquaintances, they recall that Georgy Mikhailovich was distinguished by his special kindness. He fed birds, picked up and looked after yard dogs, although he himself lived on a modest pension and fees for rare performances. He did not accept help from fans, citing the fact that people give him their last. He pointedly did not even take the money sent to the hospital.
He died after a long illness in his ninth decade. Behind the modest pensioner's coffin were only the widow and daughter and several neighbors.

Sergey Filippov
The brilliant Kisa Vorobyaninov, the king of the episode, a real star of Soviet cinema, Sergei Filippov, ended his life in bitter loneliness and lack of money.

Angry at the shameless love of the people, Filippov became a real recluse.
In 1965, the actor was diagnosed with brain cancer. He died hard and alone. Sergei Nikolaevich’s friends wrote in their memoirs that Filippov was literally starving, but his son, who for some reason did not care about his father with a terrible illness, insists that his father was happy and was collecting bronze figurines, mahogany furniture and antiques.
In the meantime, the fact remains: two weeks the body famous actor lay in an empty apartment. The public’s favorite did not save money for the funeral; Lenkom refused to bury him at his own expense. Alexander Demyanenko, having learned about the trouble that is called “with a hat around the world,” found a few pennies, which were enough to see off the main hero Soviet films on the last journey. My son didn't make it to the funeral.

Tamara Nosova
Weil Grigory/ITAR-TASS
The kindest plump girl from “The Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors” quickly transformed into the intelligent and ironic Donna Rosa from “Hello, I’m your aunt!” Tamara Nosova’s talent remains unforgettable even today, but at the end of her life the actress seemed to be forgotten.
She hid her origins all her life because she was embarrassed to admit that own father abandoned her with her brothers orphanage- after the death of my mother. Tamara Makarovna was raised by a foster family, to whom the actress was very devoted. Her own father appeared only when Toma became famous. I recognized her at the cinema and offered to communicate, but they did not become friends: Tamara was against it.
Until old age she will cling to her adoptive mother, and after her death she will withdraw into herself and begin to lead a reclusive life. Nosova did not have any children; she entered old age with a meager pension, which was not even enough for rent. Towards the end of her life she was forced to eat in canteens for the homeless.
