Vyacheslav Tikhonov was rightfully considered one of the most beautiful Soviet actors, fans literally spent the night on the landing under the door of their idol. He was married only twice. In the first marriage of the actor with Nonna Mordyukova, a son, Volodya, was born, who died at the age of 40. The second wife of the actor Tamara Ivanovna gave birth to a daughter to her husband, to whom Vyacheslav Vasilyevich always treated very kindly. How was the fate of Anna Tikhonova, the daughter of the legendary actor?

Father's daughter

Anna Tikhonova was born in 1969, and her parents, Vyacheslav Tikhonov and his second wife Tamara, a graduate of the philological faculty of Moscow State University, could not get enough of the appearance of their daughter. The father was especially happy, who was very kind to his daughter. If someone offended the baby, he immediately stood up to her defense.

When little Anya cried and said that she did not want to go to kindergarten, he did not dismiss his daughter's suffering and blame everything on children's whims. Dad talked the little girl and found out that the reason for her tears was the girl who constantly teased Anya and brought her to tears every day. And Vyacheslav Tikhonov went to kindergarten to talk to the offender. No, he did not swear or threaten, but simply very seriously, as an adult, explained to the girl why one should not offend other people. And later he decided to transfer his daughter to another garden.

In the first grade, Anna went to specialized school number 12 on the Arbat, where special attention was paid to the study of the French language. It was here that the children of many famous personalities studied, and the famous surnames of their parents were not a novelty. Ani's mother, Tamara Ivanovna, was a famous teacher and translator from French, but her daughter, choosing her future profession, decided to follow in her father's footsteps.

It cannot be said that Vyacheslav Tikhonov reacted to Anna's desire to become an actress with enthusiasm, but did not dissuade her, but only described in paints all the hardships of the actors' life: the constant absence of a home, unfavorable conditions during filming, dependence on directors. Anya herself saw how much and sometimes hard her father works. She was desperately bored when he left, but every day with her dad seemed like a holiday to her.

In her decision to enter the theater, Anna Tikhonova was adamant and after graduation she became a student at VGIK, where she studied in the workshop of Sergei Bondarchuk. During the preparation of his daughter for student performances, Vyacheslav Vasilyevich tried to give Anna advice, but she often turned a deaf ear to them, considering herself a completely independent person in terms of creativity. Of course, my father sometimes took offense, but she only realized over the years how wrong she was.

Anna Tikhonova's film debut took place in 1984, and in the film "European History" she starred with her famous father, who played the main role. The father helped his daughter to choose the main activity. In 1989, Vyacheslav Vasilyevich, together with his colleague Yuri Chekulaev, organized a creative and production studio "Cinema Actor", where Anna began to learn the basics of the producer. Her filmography includes about one and a half dozen film roles and several production works.

Long-awaited happiness

At VGIK, Anna Tikhonova studied on the same course as Nikolai Voronkovsky. He was seven years older than the girl, but this did not stop young people from dreaming of starting a family and making plans for the future. But after graduation, it turned out that Nikolai was leaving to work in Canada, and Anna categorically refused to leave Russia.

Probably, their romance could have ended in an absurd parting, if not for real feelings. Anna Tikhonova later admitted: those 12 years, while her lover was not in the country, she absolutely could not look at other men. And for some reason she was sure of the renewal of relations with Nikolai. The young man, too, could not forget Anna, and soon after his return to Moscow, the lovers began dating again, and then became husband and wife. In 2005, the couple had sons Vyacheslav and Georgy, whom Vyacheslav Tikhonov simply adored.

About the last years of Vyacheslav Vasilyevich's life, there were rumors that the actor complained of loneliness and pathological jealousy on the part of his wife, Tamara Ivanovna. Anna Tikhonova claims that until the last day of her father's life, her parents lived in love and harmony, spent a lot of time in the country, and in general, peace and tranquility always reigned in the family.

But his widow and daughter did not fulfill the last will of the actor. Vyacheslav Tikhonov wanted to be buried at the Kuntsevsky cemetery next to his son Vladimir, and his relatives buried the actor at Novodevichy. Even during the life of the actor in 2009, together with veterans of intelligence, the Vyacheslav Tikhonov Charitable Foundation was founded, which was headed by Anna Vyacheslavovna after the death of her father.

Today Anna Tikhonova is the director of the Foundation and devotes a lot of time to preserving the creative heritage of the great actor. At the initiative of the actor's daughter and with the support of the head of the city district, in the fall of 2020, a competition for the best monument to Vyacheslav Tikhonov, which will be installed near his house-museum, started in Pavlovsky Posad.

She also does not forget about her production activities. In 2020, Anna Vyacheslavovna presented a documentary about a descendant of the Rurik dynasty.

The popularity of this actor cannot be overstated. Fans adored him, letters from girls from all over the Soviet Union were brought in sacks to Mosfilm. But the actor was honest not only on the screen, but also in his personal life. Vyacheslav Tikhonov has honored three women with his attention in his entire life. One became his first and unsteady love, the second burned him with her passion, and the third gave the long-awaited family comfort and peace.
