14 years ago, on May 16, 2007, the Soviet theater and film actress, People's Artist of the RSFSR Tatyana Lavrova passed away. She played more than 35 film roles, among which were the main characters, but she was called an actress of one role - one of the first films "Nine Days of One Year" remained her highest creative peak. But few people know that the memory of this beautiful actress was immortalized not only in films. One of the most poignant poems by Andrei Voznesensky, set to music and performed in the rock opera Juno and Avos, was dedicated to Tatiana Lavrova …
1960s idols
Nowadays, it is difficult to imagine that it is not a rock star or a pop idol, but a poet who can collect stadiums with thousands of spectators. And in the 1960s - 1970s. in the USSR, this is exactly what it was - Andrei Voznesensky was one of the most popular Soviet poets, the idol of millions. His collections were printed in thousands of copies, whole stadiums gathered to listen to him, women went crazy with him. And for more than 45 years he lived in a marriage with the writer Zoya Boguslavskaya, and although rumor more than once divorced them, he remained with her until the end of his days. True, there were many secrets hidden behind the facade of a happy marriage, and one of them was his muse, one of the most beautiful Soviet actresses, Tatyana Lavrova.
She was not inferior to him in popularity: after in 1961 Tatyana Lavrova played the main role in the film "Nine Days of One Year", the whole Union started talking about her. On the stage of Sovremennik and the Moscow Art Theater, she played dozens of roles, she had many fans, she was idolized by the most famous and talented artists, but in the end the star of Soviet cinema was left alone.
Secret romance
Her first husband was actor Yevgeny Urbansky, a movie star of the late 1950s - early 1960s. Together they did not live long and broke up due to the actor's infidelity. The second marriage of Tatyana Lavrova with the legendary actor Oleg Dal lasted only six months - he drank heavily and dragged his wife along with him into the abyss. In addition, they both had very difficult and quarrelsome characters, which did not allow them to seek compromises.
The actress admitted that in men she always appreciated talent most of all. And the meeting with Andrei Voznesensky shocked her. According to a close friend of Tatyana Lavrova, Natalya Zavalnyuk, she did not love anyone as much as Andrei Voznesensky. The first thing she said about him: ""
They carefully concealed their romance, because the poet had a family. Lavrova, years later, only said that she had a "long-term affair with a famous poet" and never called his name. But their friends knew that this poet was Andrei Voznesensky. For his wife, this was not a secret either, but she had the wisdom not to destroy the family, because she understood that her husband did not want this either and was afraid of losing her. Their romance with Lavrova lasted about 8 years, and once there was a moment when Voznesensky, obviously, was going to go to her: she told her friend that somehow she was waiting for him on New Year's Eve, having laid a festive table and put on the most elegant dress. But then he never came. After that, the actress made a difficult decision for herself to part with her beloved.
You will never forget me
When Alla Pugacheva's superhit “A Million Scarlet Roses” appeared, written on poems by Andrei Voznesensky, there were rumors that the poet had dedicated this poem to Tatyana Lavrova. After all, the actress remembered how he told her about the Georgian artist who sold the house in order to shower flowers in the courtyard in front of the windows of his beloved. But already after Lavrova passed away, at an evening of her memory, a close friend revealed a secret to the audience: in fact, another poem by Voznesensky was dedicated to the actress, "You will wake me up at dawn …", which became the heart of the rock opera "Juno and Avos ".
According to her, on the day when Voznesensky and Lavrova decided to leave, they allegedly said goodbye. "" - asked the poet. "" - answered the actress. And after that, in 1977, he wrote the lines that the whole country knew by heart:
After their separation, Tatyana Lavrova married again, to the football player Vladimir Mikhailov, and gave birth to his son. They did not live together for long - no matter how the actress tried to forget Andrei Voznesensky, she did not succeed. Later, she had novels, but they were short-lived and did not leave a trace in her soul. The actress spent her last years alone, and when she was asked whether she really loved someone, Lavrova called only one name: "".
Her professional life could hardly be called happy either: Why Tatyana Lavrova remained an actress of one role.
