The talented bright actress became famous for her roles in films that have become classics for a long time. The audience fell in love with Tamara Syomina for her Anfisa in Eternal Call, Katyusha Maslova in Resurrection, Anastasia Batmanova in The Serf Actress and many other wonderful works. She always gave the impression of a rather open and kind person, but with regard to her own relatives, whom Tamara Semina did not have so many, she is very categorical. The answer to all their attempts to improve relations is icy silence.

Lonely star

The actress lived a truly vibrant creative life, it was a place for unforgettable meetings, talentedly embodied images on stage and in the cinema. Back in 1956, she came from Kaluga to Moscow to become an actress. Despite the fact that the documents were no longer accepted by VGIK, an exception was made for the future star of Soviet cinema.

And she never deceived the trust of the dean of the acting department personally and the entire selection committee. Already in her second year, she became the happy wife of Vladimir Prokofiev, with whom she studied. They lived together for almost half a century.

When her husband suffered a stroke in the 1990s, Tamara Semina devoted herself entirely to caring for her loved one. For more than ten years, she spent next to her paralyzed husband, not complaining or grumbling about fate. But in 2005 Vladimir Nikolaevich died, and Tamara Petrovna was very hard at the loss. They had no children, and she had to cope with grief on her own.

True, there was still a sister with whom one could at least have a heart-to-heart talk. But in 2021 she passed away, and Tamara Semina was left completely alone. She is 82 years old, she does not feel very well and complains that in this world she does not have a single soul mate.

In fact, Tamara Petrovna has blood relatives, her mother's sister Pavlina Vasilievna and her daughter, the actress's namesake. But she stopped all communication with them after the death of her husband, and now she refuses even to answer their calls.

The roots of the conflict

Problems in the relationship of relatives arose much earlier, even at the time when Tamara Semina was a first-year student at VGIK. Once the girl accidentally met Pavlina Vasilievna on the way to GUM. Of course, she was going to greet her own aunt, but with amazement she saw how she, noticing her niece, suddenly turned in the other direction and swiftly left.

As the actress suggested many years later, a relative was afraid that the poor student would ask her for money, so she chose to run away. Tamara Semina still cannot remember that situation without pain. She was never a beggar, she always solved her problems on her own. Even when she went to night school to study, she worked simultaneously as a librarian and a secretary.

Naturally, Tamara Petrovna was hurt by that story and she tried to limit her communication with relatives, but they themselves reminded of themselves, and not in the best way. Pavlina Vasilievna began to visit her niece when she became famous, and even brought complete strangers to her house, as if bragging about her kinship with a famous actress.

When Tamara Petrovna's father died, her aunt tried to independently dispose of the property that belonged to the actress by right of inheritance. Such behavior shocked the actress, as did the attempts of relatives to impose their communication on her after the death of her husband. Later, the aunt and her daughter stopped communicating and then activated again.

Pavlina Vasilievna and her daughter Tamara, together with their son, came to television and in one of the popular programs declared their desire to "lend a helping hand" to the famous and far from poor Tamara Semina. The actress herself assumes that the object of attention from these people is not herself at all, but her property in Moscow.

Tamara Petrovna is very determined. She considers relatives to be strangers, who for many years were not even interested in her well-being, and now, when the actress is already 82 and her state of health leaves much to be desired, they suddenly began to show their alleged care through television.

The actress, not wanting to communicate with those who more than once demonstrated their selfish nature, turned to her relatives also through television, directly saying that after her death they would not get any of her property. Tamara Petrovna invites them to stop going to the show and not try to contact her by any other means. She herself does not need anything from such relatives, and she will definitely find how to dispose of her property. The actress said bluntly: she would not bequeath the apartment or give it to either Pavlina Vasilyevna herself or her children and grandchildren.

The actress has always starred a lot, and rumor has attributed to her novel after novel. The list of her men included famous actors, directors and officials from the cinema. She was faithful to her husband Vladimir Prokofiev all her life. He only had a couple of months to live, but Tamara Semina was able to detain him in this world for 18 years.
