Video: Famous actors who were raised by an equally famous stepfather
2024 Author: Richard Flannagan | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-15 23:55
"The real father is not the one who gave birth, but the one who raised" - this is how the Russian proverb sounds. And it doesn't matter: rich or not, famous or not a new father, the main thing is that he loves and is engaged in education. Today we want to remember the famous stepfathers who were able to give warmth to the acquired children, as well as instill in them a love for the acting profession. And what is surprising - their worries were not in vain - adopted daughters and sons achieved success and became no less popular than their stepfathers.
Denis Kmit and Leonid Kmit
Leonid Kmit became famous throughout the vast country for the role of Petka from the cult film "Chapaev". He starred in many more films, received the title of People's Artist of the RSFSR. He was married twice, and the second time for true love. His chosen one was the beautiful Galina Radysh, who worked as a photojournalist. At work, she often had to rotate in a circle of popular people. Already being a married lady, Galina could not resist the charm of the famous artist Nikolai Gritsenko. The woman became pregnant and soon gave birth to a son in December 1959, whom she named Denis.
A real father is not just to appear in the hospital - he did not even want to hear about paternity, in every possible way renouncing this connection that discredited his reputation. But Leonid Kmit, forgiving his wife's betrayal, took care of her and the baby in every possible way. He changed diapers, brought fresh milk. Once Galina complained to a patronage nurse that the child is growing up without a father - she has not yet been registered in anybody's surname. And then Leonid, who heard the conversation, went to the registry office.
Denis was imbued with the acting profession of his father and also began to appear in films. His most famous film work is the role of Pavel in Leonid Gaidai's comedy Sportloto-82. However, the tragedy prevented him from advancing further in acting. Almost immediately after filming, Leonid fell from a great height and injured his spine. He spent 30 years in a wheelchair. In the summer of 2019, he passed away.
Vladislav Galkin and Boris Galkin
We don't think it's worth introducing Boris Sergeevich. Everyone knows this wonderful artist who has starred in more than seventy films. His third wife, film critic and screenwriter Elena Demidova, at the time of marriage, already had two children. Without hesitation, Boris adopted them. He devoted a lot of time to the elder Vladislav, took him with him to the shooting and helped him in his professional development as an artist. However, at the time of their acquaintance, Vladislav was already known - secretly from his parents, his grandmother brought him to screen tests for the film by Stanislav Govorukhin "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn". The next bright work of the little actor was the role in the film "This scoundrel Sidorov".
Boris Galkin later recalled that they went to the premiere of the picture together. He was struck by the mature play of his adopted son, he praised him. Vladislav looked seriously and said "Thank you, dad." This was the first recognition - one as a talented actor, the other - as a real father. Subsequently, the relationship between them grew into a strong friendship. Unfortunately, Vladislav died at the age of 38. It was the stepfather who first sounded the alarm and insisted that the friends open the apartment. And it was he who was not afraid to appear on the air of the program "Man and the Law" with a version of the deliberate murder of his adopted son.
Ksenia Alferova and Alexander Abdulov
The seemingly happy marriage of Irina Alferova and the Bulgarian diplomat Boyko Gyurov was upset a year later. As a memory, the daughter Ksenia, who was born in the capital of Bulgaria, remained. The young mother and aspiring actress returned to Russia with the child. Irina Alferova continued to build a career as an actress and soon met with Alexander Abdulov. And the 2-year-old baby did not become an obstacle to marriage, and the actor began to raise her as his own child. Ksenia grew up in a complete family and would never have thought that her own father was thousands of kilometers away from her. Only in adolescence did the girl find out the truth. Here it was not without "kind people" - if Ksenia grew up in an ordinary family, then no one would care, but the daughters of the famous Soviet couple were informed by well-wishers. However, this did not change the relationship between Alexander and Xenia - as they were best friends, they remained. Even the divorce of the parents did not affect them. Ksenia loved her stepfather and continued to communicate with him until his death.
Maria Golubkina and Andrey Mironov
Maria's mother is the popular actress Larisa Golubkina, who fell in love with the audience for her incredible enthusiasm and charm in Eldar Ryazanov's comedy "The Hussar Ballad". But the biological father was the descendant of a noble noble family Nikolai Shcherbinsky-Arseniev, who is also known as a director, screenwriter, poet and writer. For a long time, his place of work was the State Committee for Foreign Economic Relations. In addition, Shcherbinsky-Arseniev successfully shot documentaries, and three of his works were awarded international prizes. However, Nikolai himself denied his paternity, suggesting that Golubkina was already pregnant from an affair with director Vladimir Dostal.
When the girl was one year old, Larisa began to live in a civil marriage with Andrei Mironov. Gradually, the relationship became stronger, and two years later, a divorce was filed with Andrei's previous wife, Ekaterina Gradova. And the couple got married. Little Masha did not become a hindrance. The actor himself had a daughter named Masha, so he treated little Larisa Golubkina with fatherly love. Maybe this is the reason that now many fans of Andrei Mironov's talent consider Maria Mironova and Maria Golubkina to be blood sisters. The fact that the famous actor who raised her is not her own father, Masha learned only as a high school student. Under the onslaught of her daughter Larisa Golubkina, she had to confess.
Maria Poroshina and Dmitry Nazarov
The charming Maria Poroshina was born among creative people. Her mother Natalya Krasnoyarskaya staged performances at the Bolshoi Theater, and her father Mikhail Poroshin performed solo in the famous Beryozka dance ensemble. Parents lived together for 11 years, and then divorced. A year later, Natalia remarried. Her chosen one was actor Dmitry Nazarov, known to many viewers for his leading role in the TV series "Kitchen" and the TV show "Culinary duel". This union lasted only a few years. However, Maria Poroshina remembers her stepfather with respect.
According to her, this person appeared in her life during the most difficult teenage period. Hormones were seething, I wanted to challenge the whole world and even run away from home. And it was Dmitry and her mother who helped her cope with dignity and now remember these years as one of the best in life.
