From the outside, the life of celebrities is like a fairy tale, fame, recognition, high fees and many fans seem to be a dream come true. In fact, famous people do not always enjoy their status, they get tired of close attention to themselves, experience lack of demand and become disillusioned with the profession. However, each of the heroes of our today's review had their own, special reason to refuse filming, concerts or shows.

Tatiana Agafonova

The audience remembered the actress thanks to her filming in the films "Lonely Hostel is Provided", "Don't Go, Girls, Get Married", "Women's Day" and many others. But in the late 1990s, she left everything and returned to her small homeland in the village of Zalazino, Tver region. The time was not easy, in the cinema she was almost not called then, and Tatyana Agafonova decided that her film career was over.

She tried to help her fellow villagers in solving numerous problems, and as a result became the chairman of the collective farm "Vperyod", graduated from the agricultural academy and completely devoted herself to the new business. But after suffering a stroke, doctors advised her to leave her too nervous position. As a result, the actress returned to the capital, began acting in films again and founded her own production center, Three Capitals.

Natalia Guseva

Everyone remembered the young actress for the role of Alisa Selezneva in the film "Guest from the Future". In addition to this picture, she starred in several more projects, but she categorically refused to enter the theater institute. Natalia Guseva, despite numerous shootings and a successful film career, has been passionate about biology since childhood and dreamed of getting a profession associated with her.

As a result, after receiving a certificate, Natalia entered the biotechnology department of the Moscow Institute of Fine Chemical Technology. For many years, Natalia Evgenievna worked as a research assistant at the Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, headed the production of immunobiological preparations. In recent years, she retired, devoting herself to family and children.

Tatiana Klyueva

There are not too many works in the filmography of Tatyana Klyueva, although she began acting in her school years. The finest hour for the actress was the release of the fairy tale by Alexander Rowe "Barbarian Beauty, Long Braid". But after graduating from the institute, Tatyana Klyueva got married. For the sake of her family and a loved one, who served as a long-distance sailor, she abandoned her dreams of an acting career and decided to devote herself to her family.

Of course, she did not sit idle, she worked as the manager of a club in a taxi company, worked in a dating bureau and traded in the market. She was never afraid of work and was not ashamed of having to stand in the market. Tatyana Klyueva believes that in her youth she made the absolutely right choice in favor of the family. Moreover, her family life was quite happy.

Margarita Sergeecheva

In childhood she was called "the girl with pigtails" and was considered the most popular young actress. She was surprisingly harmonious and natural in all her roles, and therefore the girl could count on a successful film career. And after receiving a certificate of maturity, she entered LGITMiK, graduated with honors and left for the capital. But the image of a teenage girl did not let her go, and then the actress herself began to understand: with her appearance, she was doomed to play such roles all her life. And over time, invitations from directors began to come less and less.

But Margarita Sergeecheva was not going to be sad all her life in anticipation of the role. She just decided to change her life and follow in the footsteps of her parents - to become a doctor. In 1997, after graduating from medical university, the actress returned to her native Peter and went to work as an ambulance doctor. She could have continued to save people if not for the stroke that happened in 2007. Margarita Vladimirovna was initially paralyzed, but the operation helped her partially regain mobility and some functions of the brain. Now the actress receives a disability pension and considers herself not entitled to give in to despondency. She maintains good spirits and knows how to find light and good in any situation.

Since 2016, the actress has appeared on the theatrical stage from time to time and even starred in the 2016 film "The Crew". And in recent years, she has been waging a grueling fight against cancer.
