March 5 marks the 60th anniversary of the popular actress, People's Artist of Russia Elena Yakovleva. Everyone is well aware of her creative achievements - for several decades she has remained one of the most sought-after and successful actresses, participating in several new projects every year. But recently, most publications do not talk about her film works, but about changes in appearance and about her son, for whom Yakovleva constantly has to make excuses. What caused such close attention to these topics, and what makes the actress blush - further in the review.
Pros and cons of being in demand in the profession
She thought she was an actress from the moment she was born, as if it was in her blood. No one in her family had anything to do with art, but at the same time everyone was artistic. According to family legend, Elena Yakovleva's great-grandmother was a serf actress, but no evidence of this has survived. His father was a military man, his mother worked at a research institute, but at the same time, both of them gladly went on the stage of the military garrison club, where his father read Raikin's monologues, and his mother danced and sang. And their daughter arranged impromptu performances for them at home, for which her parents called her an artist. Then they could not even think that this comic nickname would become her vocation.
Since Elena Yakovleva graduated from GITIS, began performing on the theater stage and acting in films, there has never been a break in her career. She remained in demand in the difficult 1990s for cinematography, and in the new century, and at a young age, and in adulthood. Every actor dreams of such demand, but once this workload tired her so much that the actress admitted: "". However, today the changed reality forced her to reconsider her views.
When, due to quarantine, the performances and filming were canceled and the actress suddenly had a lot of free time, she came to the conclusion that, in fact, the worst thing for her was not excessive employment, but such pauses. Today Yakovleva says that the hardest thing is to sit around, and that without work, she just goes crazy.
In 2020, the actress had a pearl wedding - together with her husband, actor Valery Shalnykh, they have been living for 30 years! But they did not arrange magnificent celebrations on this occasion, it is not customary in their family. Even Yakovleva did not plan to celebrate her 60th birthday - on this day she has a performance, and she is not going to cancel it. The actress admits that working for her is much more joyful and pleasant than sitting at the table and listening to solemn speeches, because the energy she receives from the audience has always been the greatest gift for her.
The scandalous reputation of the son
The actress considers her son Denis to be the most important person in her life. Now they are very close, but the idyll between them did not always reign. Due to excessive employment on the set, touring and rehearsals, Yakovleva could not pay enough attention to her son when he was little and needed it. Denis says: "". The son made the decision early enough to leave his parents, and since he began to live separately, the conflicts have ceased.
Elena Yakovleva says that now with her son she finally has a trusting relationship, and they have no secrets from each other. But at the same time, he rarely listens to her advice and often makes mistakes. The actress believes that this is a completely natural process of finding yourself and your own path, on which you simply cannot do without mistakes. When asked what her son is doing, she replies: "".
The fact that, at the age of 28, Denis Shalnykh still has not found his calling and has not achieved noticeable success in any field of activity, raises the most questions that Elena Yakovleva is already tired of answering. For several years now, she has constantly had to make excuses for her son. Many are shocked by his appearance: his entire body and even his face is covered with tattoos, in addition, he was fond of piercing and scarring. Of course, it was difficult for parents to come to terms with this way of expressing their son, but they did not condemn him. On this occasion, Elena Yakovleva said: "".
Denis studied at the directing department of the Humanitarian Institute of Television and Radio Broadcasting, but in his third year he decided to quit his studies, as he finally lost interest in theater and cinema. At one time Denis was fond of music and even created his own group, then he mastered hairdressing and worked in a barbershop, for several years he was engaged in bodybuilding and became a fitness trainer. But so far none of these hobbies have become the work of his life.
Fear of old age and experiments with appearance
Elena Yakovleva is one of the most outspoken and sincere actresses. She is not ashamed to admit that she is afraid of old age, and that she has repeatedly resorted to the help of cosmetologists and plastic surgeons - she changed the shape of the eyelids and inserted threads that smooth out wrinkles. At the same time, she is not fond of "beauty injections" and operations, does not do them systematically, like her other colleagues. "", - the actress admits.
The actress more than once shared her photos on social networks, including those where she was captured without makeup, and often heard criticism about her appearance. She is worried about age-related changes and plans to get rid of extra pounds - the camera zooms in greatly, and it can look unaesthetic on the screen. However, it is worth noting that in her 60 years, Elena Yakovleva looks much younger than her age and in fact she has no reason to worry - she is still spectacular and charming. Fans drew attention to the fact that this year the actress has become noticeably younger and prettier thanks to a successful haircut and the help of cosmetologists.
She is still asked many questions about her most famous film heroine from the Kamenskaya TV series: Off-screen relations between Elena Yakovleva and Dmitry Nagiyev.
