"There is no limit to perfection" - says popular wisdom. And this statement is especially true when younger and fresher creatures step on the heels. For public women, youth is synonymous with success. In the meantime, the years go by, and the cruel mirror is already completely without enthusiasm showing not an angelic face, but some completely unfamiliar aunt. And even though the wrinkles are still barely noticeable, and the complexion has only slightly deteriorated, all the same, the stars decide on sometimes frankly dubious methods of rejuvenation.

What to do, grab the bird of happiness by the tail and continue the career of a singer, actress or just a happy woman without external attractiveness for our ladies seems impossible. Today we will talk about the stars known to all of us, who not only could not come to terms with age-related changes, but in their search for the elixir of eternal youth radically damaged their health.

Yulia Nachalova

Originally from Voronezh, a charming blue-eyed girl with a disarming smile and a gentle voice drove millions of men crazy. But she died when she was only 38 years old. The years of her activity stretched from 1986 - at first as a five-year-old girl she performed on the stage of the Voronezh Philharmonic, and later, after her victory in the Morning Star television competition, the family moved to Moscow. There, the girl graduated from GITIS, released music albums, participated in television shows and led a very active bohemian lifestyle.

Known for her marriage to football player Yevgeny Aldonin and a long relationship with hockey player Alexander Frolov. However, having stellar husbands and pleasing the audience not only with a beautiful voice, but also with a slender appearance is not such an easy task. At the beginning of the 2000s, the girl was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, when in a month and a half she managed to lose 25 kg and weigh only 42 kg with a height of 165 cm.

The desire to comply with modern beauty canons led her to a famous surgeon in Los Angeles. In 2007, Julia underwent breast augmentation surgery, but the implants did not take root. Moreover, Julia had to endure painful kidney failure and, as a result, blood poisoning. For the past eight years, the singer has been battling with gout and systemic lupus erythematosus, and in the last year with type 2 diabetes. A leg injury became critical - the singer wanted to cure a minor scratch on her own with the help of lidocaine, but only aggravated the disease.

She was taken to the Botkin hospital directly from the rehearsal - the blood sugar level rose sharply, while gangrene began to develop on the wounded leg. Literally in a week, the favorite of fans of all ages was gone.

Natalia Krachkovskaya

Our favorite star of Soviet comedies has always been a "donkey". But if in her youth and maturity this only gave her charm, then later, excessive completeness began to create serious problems. Natalya Leonidovna decided to experiment. It was then that "Thai miraculous diet pills" came into vogue. The actress, in the hope of throwing off unnecessary kilograms, drank two whole courses, completely without thinking about the consequences. In addition, many friends did it too, and very successfully.

As a result, in two weeks it took 14 kg, but what happened next … As the actress herself admitted in an interview, taking Asian pills provoked an incredible allergy, and subsequently a failure in the work of all body systems. The unfortunate woman spent the whole summer in intensive care. After this incident, Krachkovskaya had to spend every six months in the hospital, making endless blood transfusions and cleansing procedures. But in the end, the queen of the episode suffered a severe stroke, and later died of a heart attack.

Natalia Gundareva

One of the most popular actresses in Soviet cinema, Natalya Gundareva was an active woman. She not only worked in the theater, starred in films, participated in the "Women of Russia" faction in the State Duma, but also drove a car with pleasure (which was a rarity in those days). However, the changes in the country and the general decline in the film industry led to the fact that the aging actress began to be less and less offered roles.

In 1999, Natalya Georgievna dramatically lost weight and, moreover, underwent plastic surgery. Outwardly very rejuvenated, but internally very annoyed by the changes - this is how she appeared before the audience in the series "Salome". As the neurologist commented on the situation, the face became a kind of mask and refused to obey, which extremely annoyed the demanding actress. In addition to a constantly nervous state from an unsuccessful operation, Natalya Gundareva spoiled her health with Thai pills.

Many colleagues noted that the actress did not have such a thin waist even in her youth. And soon the reckoning came. The 53-year-old actress suffered an ischemic stroke and even fell into a coma. Then there were many months of recovery. However, the unsuccessful fall complicated the already difficult condition. In May 2005, her beloved actress was gone. She passed away at the age of 56.

Gene Harlow

American movie star and sex symbol of the 30s of the last century. It was her image that inspired Merlin Monroe to change her appearance. The platinum blonde was imitated by many girls, and men saw her in their erotic dreams. Once having argued with her friend that she would muster up the spirit and be able to go to the casting, later the successful beauty could no longer leave the race for a new role.

Constant filming, traveling, presentations and working to wear and tear led to the fact that Jean's already frail health cracked. The girl tried not to pay attention to such symptoms of chronic fatigue as an unhealthy complexion, puffiness and rapid breathing. And in vain. The common cold resulted in premature death. Harlow was only 26 years old.

Roman Trakhtenberg

At times, it seemed to the fans that this showman knew all the funny stories and anecdotes that ever walked in the vastness of our country. A successful radio and television presenter, actor and theater director, he has participated in many projects and talk shows. In the last year, Roman managed to lose a lot of weight. After long attempts, his weight dropped by forty kilograms in literally three months.

Once his co-host of the live broadcast of "Trakhty-Barakhta" had to end the program alone - Trakhtenberg became ill, but he refused medical assistance to the last. In the end, an ambulance arrived in time and took the showman to the hospital, but he died on the way. Doctors diagnosed extensive myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, and as a cause that could provoke the end, they named a sharp weight loss. Roman Lvovich Gorbunov was at that time only 41 years old.
