Soviet cinema was a unique phenomenon. The directors have created stunning films that have made generations of viewers fall in love with them. Actors who starred in popular films instantly became famous. Glory and respect awaited them, however, many faced very difficult life trials. The beauties of the actress became idols, millions of Soviet women wanted to be like them, however, few people guessed how tragically the fate of some of them was.
Izolda Izvitskaya
The actress, who became famous after the release of the film "Forty-first" by Grigory Chukhrai, won recognition not only in the USSR, but also abroad. However, after a starring role, she never managed to repeat her success, and she invariably found consolation in alcohol, which she consumed with her husband Eduard Bredun.
The more fun her life outside the profession was, the fewer roles she was offered. Colleagues urged the actress to change her mind, to undergo treatment, but everything was in vain. And then her husband went to another. In March 1971, 38-year-old Isolde Izvitskaya was found in her apartment by her ex-husband. A week before his visit, the actress died of hunger.
Mikaela Drozdovskaya
She was a very famous and sought-after actress. She starred in Mimino, Seven Nurses, Run, Give a Book of Complaints and many other films that have become classics of Soviet cinema. Mikaela Drozdovskaya was the happy wife of the famous cardiologist Vadim Smolensky and a caring mother of two daughters, Dasha and Nika.
But in 1978, the 41-year-old actress, while filming in Ordzhonikidze, slept in an unheated house with lighting fixtures. She turned on the lamps in order to somehow warm up, and, falling asleep, did not notice how the blanket she covered herself caught fire. The fire was not immediately noticed, and as a result, Mikaela Drozdovskaya received terrible burns, from which she died. The doctors simply could not help her.
Ekaterina Savinova
After the graduate of VGIK played the role of Lyubochka in "Kuban Cossacks", Ivan Pyryev himself drew attention to her. Only now his attention was too expensive for Ekaterina Savinova. She allowed herself to slap the famous director in response to his intimate claims. Almighty Pyryev did everything to make the name of the rebellious actress blacklisted, and strictly ensured that she no longer had movie roles.
Only thanks to her husband Yevgeny Tashkov, she still managed to appear on the screens, playing Frosya Burlakova in her husband's film "Come tomorrow." But it was during the filming of her star film that Ekaterina Savinova drank milk infected with brucellosis and gave serious complications to the actress's nervous system. The inability to do what I loved because of illness led to the deepest depression. According to colleagues, the symptoms were similar to those of schizophrenia. At the age of 43, she threw herself under a train in Novosibirsk, where she came to visit her sister.
Alexandra Zavyalova
The actress had every chance of becoming successful in the profession, because after the film "Alyoshkina Love" the proposals from the directors followed one after another. She filmed productively and was happily married to artist Dmitry Buchkin, gave birth to his daughter Tatyana. In 1964, she fell in love. And everything in her life could have turned out differently, had it not been the beloved of Alexandra Zavyalova, an American businessman. Naturally, the continuation of the whirlwind romance did not follow: the American was kicked out of the country, having been declared persona non grata, the actress was added to the list of unreliable and actually deprived of the opportunity to act in films.
Then she was completely forcibly placed in a psychiatric clinic. The daughter was then taken by her ex-husband, but her son Peter, whose father's name Alexander Zavyalova never called, went to the orphanage. After returning from the hospital, the actress devoted her whole life to her beloved son Petenka. Could a tenderly loving mother, ready to do anything for the sake of her child, could have imagined that it was from his hands that she would accept death?
Peter did not work, but with great pleasure he drank alcoholic beverages, for which he took money from his mother. Being in the strongest alcoholic intoxication during the next quarrel, Peter stabbed his mother, incompatible with life. The day after the tragedy, Alexandra Zavyalova could have celebrated her 80th birthday.
Anastasia Ivanova
She became famous thanks to the film "I Can't Say Goodbye", after which she acted very little in films. But Anastasia Ivanova was a happy wife and mother, together with her husband Boris Nevzorov, she raised her daughter Veronica. And, of course, she dreamed of new star roles.
The actress's dreams were not destined to come true: she died at the hands of one of her acquaintances, who entered the house to get money for a dose of the drug. He stabbed Anastasia Ivanova two times with a knife, and ended his dirty work by suffocation. The actress at the time of her death was not yet 35 years old.
The husband of Anastasia Ivanova, Boris Nevzorov, even in his youth dreamed of marrying once and for life, but he has four marriages behind him. The actor will soon turn 71 years old, next to him is a woman who is 25 years younger than him, he is waiting for the birth of a child, but the memories of Anastasia Ivanova still cause the actor to cry involuntarily.
