Evgeny Morgunov seemed to be playing himself in a movie. A big, slightly awkward, joker and joker could turn even the most serious business into a joke. Many did not understand his jokes, turned away from the actor. And only faithful, understanding, loving Natasha was always there.

Phone acquaintance

Once in the apartment of Yevgeny Morgunov a phone call rang. The girl, timid and stammering, asked Professor Kotov to phone. Eugene, accustomed to making draws from the most insignificant events, immediately got his bearings. He became the very professor the girl asked. He wrote down the girl's phone number and assigned her a retake the next day. But the trouble is, he did not know at which institute his subscriber was studying.

The next day Natasha came home from the institute, not understanding anything. She did not find any professor at the department, and in general no one was expecting her. And in the evening in her apartment the bell rang. The same voice she heard yesterday apologized. Evgeny Morgunov explained that he did not know where he had to go to see a girl with such a pleasant voice. Natasha was not only upset, she was angry for such an unsuccessful prank. And even the name of the famous actor by that time did not soften her heart.

But Eugene was persistent. He made a decision for himself to call this intractable Natasha until she agrees to meet with him. And he called. He dialed the same phone number every night. Exactly until the girl agreed to meet with him. It was also interesting for her to look at the artist, whose name almost every person in the Soviet Union knew. He was also so persistent in his persuasion.

It was love

Of course, Natalya imagined the actor in a completely different way. She saw him stately, handsome, graceful. It seemed to her that Experienced was just a role, but in life Yevgeny Morgunov was not at all like that. But it turned out that it was exactly like that: full, awkward, even clumsy. But how much love for life was in him! He was 13 years older than Natalia. But in his curiosity, keen interest in everything that was happening, he could easily give a head start to her peers. The girl later admitted more than once that, in comparison with Morgunov, all her acquaintances seemed insipid and uninteresting.

The girl's parents wondered why she needed this not too young man. But she saw in him an incredibly charming, extraordinary person with whom she could live life and at the same time not languish from boredom and routine. Soon Natalia and Eugene began to live together, and two years later they signed.

The artist's newfound dream

Evgeny Morgunov was incredibly happy. His Natasha easily entered the circle of his friends and acquaintances. They noted that this intelligent, smart girl was able to realize the actor's long-standing dream of a family. However, his wife was not jealous. Everyone knew Morgunov's previous romance with Varvara Ryabtseva, a famous ballerina. But Natalya, even after the wedding, did not interfere with their meetings, reasonably believing that a woman who is older than her by as much as 26 years cannot compete with her, young, beautiful. Moreover, at one time Vava, as everyone called Morgunov's passion, refused to give birth to his beloved children, preoccupied with her own ballet career. And the young wife gave birth to Eugene two wonderful sons, Nikolai and Anton.

Without the past, there would be no present

He has not forgotten his first love. Until the end of his days he took care of this eternal girl, his Vava. But he cared more as a friend, even as a son. To him, Barbara reminded him more and more of his mother, whom the actor respected and loved immensely. She never tried to win back the love of her fan. She knew exactly how important a strong family relationship was for him and chose to keep his respect, care, and true friendship.

At the same time, he was known in the acting environment as an exemplary family man. All he could he carried home. His wife and children never needed anything. Family for him was a truly sacred and inviolable concept.

Natalia was practically an exemplary wife. She tirelessly cared for her boys - husband and sons. She happily bustled in the kitchen to prepare the right breakfast for her husband, who suffered from diabetes from his youth, she reminded him that it was time to take an injection of insulin, ironed his shirts. Sons, too, never felt deprived of maternal care. This amazing woman had everything under control, she managed everything, was everywhere on time, helped everyone. And I always understood everything.

Her endless female wisdom was simply amazing. Never in all the time of family life did she oppose the meetings of her husband with Varvara. She understood that it was important to him. I never made a scandal. Evgeny Morgunov was immensely grateful to her for this understanding. And he never deceived her trust.

Only memory remains

Over the years, diabetes increasingly oppressed the actor. It was more and more difficult for him to go on stage, his legs ached more and more. He often appeared in front of the audience in soft slippers, if the pain became completely unbearable. And he joked that a log fell on his leg.

However, the fatal blow was not inflicted on the actor by illness. In the summer of 1998, his youngest son, Nikolai, fell asleep at the wheel of a car and crashed. But even in this situation, the immensely grieving Morgunov found the strength to become support for Natasha, he believed that it was much more difficult for her to survive the loss of a child.

At this time, Varvara Ryabtseva was already very bad. She almost never left the house. Morgunov came to her to entertain her with conversations until morning. When Vava passed away, he himself organized her funeral to pay tribute to the memory of the one he once loved.

In June 1999, the heart of the great actor stopped beating. After his death, a story surfaced with his illegitimate daughter, who now lives in America. However, none of his colleagues or acquaintances can say for sure whether this is true or fiction.

Natalia Morgunova has refused to give any interviews for several years. For her, Evgeny Morgunov will forever remain a beloved and loving husband and father of her children. She continues to love him now, finding comfort in communicating with her son and raising her grandchildren.

Evgeny and Natalya Morgunov have been married for 36 years. Lyudmila Kasatkina and Sergey Kolosov walked hand in hand for 62 years and died almost on the same day.
