A great actress who has lived a long and successful life in art. The brilliant lady Monica from Zucchini 13 Chairs was the trendsetter for women in the Soviet Union. Trolleybus driver Luda from "Beware of the Car" has become symbols of devotion and loyalty - one can endlessly enumerate the roles of Olga Aroseva. It seemed that fate itself was destined for her to be happy. But Olga Aroseva, who conquered the hearts of men with just one glance, spoke briefly about her personal life: “It didn't work out”.

After joining the Leningrad Comedy Theater, the young actress moved to the Northern capital. It was here that Olga Aroseva experienced the strongest feeling in her life. In many sources you can find information about Vladimir Soshalsky as the fourth husband of the actress. In fact, Olga Alexandrovna was his first wife, with whom they did not live for a year. As the actor himself admitted, he just fell in love again.

Give up love

Olga Aroseva met her main love in the foyer of the Leningrad Comedy Theater. She was just beginning her career in art, and he already had a name and weight in theatrical circles. Alexey Arbuzov, the famous playwright, came to Leningrad with his new play.

It was love at first sight. Every evening they wandered around Leningrad and had endless conversations. About theater, about life, about love. But a few days later Alesya Nikolayevich left for Moscow. He began to write letters to her, full of tenderness and longing for his Olenka. The answer was silence. For seven months he wrote, still hoping, but Olga Aroseva answered him only 50 years later, in her book "Without make-up for an encore."

She called her feeling for the playwright the most beautiful and brightest in her life. And she wrote that she did not dare to answer him, because her letters in comparison with his vivid imaginative messages could look too pale. Olga Aroseva then reasoned very sensibly: the feelings of the playwright, which flared up so quickly, could soon go out. But they stayed with her forever thanks to his letters and her memories of each of their meetings.

Leningrad happiness

Soon after meeting Arbuzov, Olga Aroseva married musician Konstantin Zhukov. The 11-year age difference did not prevent them from being happy at all.

When Nikolai Akimov was removed from the post of the chief director of the theater, Olga Aroseva, who supported the director, quit her job and left for the capital, where she quite successfully joined the team of the Theater of Satire. But Konstantin and his wife did not go, they stayed in Leningrad.

In fact, their family ceased to exist even then. But in fact, the actress divorced her husband a little later, when she was already going to marry another. With Konstantin Zhukov, they remained good friends for life.

Broken dream

Olga Aroseva lived with Yuri Khlopetskiy, a colleague at the Theater of Satire, for several happy years. She dreamed of how they would raise children together, how in old age they would walk along shady alleys, touchingly supporting each other. But even here it did not work out.

The story of a child lost by Olga Aroseva due to the stampede on the day of Stalin's funeral is widely known. However, the actress's relatives say: she did not go to the funeral. Olga Alexandrovna came up with this story to get rid of questions. Moreover, she could no longer become a mother.

After the loss of the baby, family life with Yuri Khlopetsky cracked. And Olga Aroseva decided to start everything from scratch.

All life is theater

After parting with Yuri, Olga Aroseva decided to devote herself to work. The popularity of the actress was really overwhelming. But fate gave her another chance to become happy not only in the profession.

The popular singer Arkady Pogodin, for the sake of Olga Aroseva, was ready for any recklessness. He dreamed of throwing the whole world at the feet of his beloved, and for the first time in her life she felt that she was taking care of herself. And she agreed to become his wife. Her husband surrounded her with attention, made nice gifts and could not believe his happiness.

It was he who presented her with the famous dacha, where numerous colleagues and friends of the actress loved to visit. She built on the site a large house, a bathhouse, a swimming pool. For Olga Aroseva, the dacha became that large and comfortable home, which she was deprived of in childhood. After the death of Arkady Pogodin, she was left alone in this house.

In her fate there was a place for both quiet family evenings and bright passionate novels. Olga Aroseva herself gave a description of her personal life: “I was married several times and always parted with my husbands in an amicable way. Friends and sisters believed that I did not wait for a worthy chosen one. I don't know, maybe my husbands were really weaker than me, but I liked them."

True, Olga Alexandrovna has never been a lonely person. She always had family, friends, colleagues and endless love of the audience. She devoted herself to work without a trace. And even a few days before her death, she dreamed of going on stage again. The actress suffered from cancer for the last year of her life and died in the hospital on October 13, 2013.

Olga Aroseva was loved by colleagues and friends, although everyone admitted that her character was not sugar at all, and even
