April 18 marks 83 years of the famous theater and film actress, People's Artist of the RSFSR Svetlana Nemolyaeva. For 51 years, she celebrated this holiday with her husband, the famous actor Alexander Lazarev, but 9 years ago he passed away. But next to the actress are their son Alexander and granddaughter Polina, who followed in the footsteps of their parents and also became actors. From the outside, this dynasty looks absolutely harmonious, prosperous and happy, but once Nemolyaeva declared that this is “a crazy family in which passions are boiling and torn” …

Svetlana Nemolyaeva inherited her love for theater and cinema - her father was a film director, her uncle was an actor, and her mother was a sound engineer. Famous artists often gathered in their house in Moscow, among whom were Lyudmila Tselikovskaya, Mikhail Zharov, Vsevolod Pudovkin and others. Father often took Svetlana and her brother Nikolai to shoot in the crowd, they went to the Theater. V. Mayakovsky to performances with the participation of her uncle, and from childhood Svetlana got used to both the stage and the set. Therefore, after graduating from school, her further choice of path was predetermined - she entered the Schepkinsky school, and later became an actress of the Theater. V. Mayakovsky.

Alexander Lazarev was from Leningrad. He also grew up in a creative atmosphere - his father was an artist, the house had a huge library, and the whole family often went to theaters. In the 10th grade, Alexander decided to enter a local theater university and even successfully passed the first round, but then a commission from the Moscow Art Theater School arrived from Moscow, which selected applicants, and Lazarev was among the 2 lucky ones. In 1955 he moved to Moscow, and after graduation he became an actor in the same theater where Svetlana Nemolyaeva came in the same year.

In 1960, Alexander Lazarev and Svetlana Nemolyaeva got married and have not parted since then. In the acting environment, such marriages were rare - for 51 years of marriage there were no scandals, no rumors of infidelity, no public showdown. 7 years after the wedding, their son was born, like two drops of water similar to his father, and he was named after him Alexander. He grew up behind the scenes, did his homework in the dressing room, and at the age of 12 he first appeared on stage. After graduating, like his father, the Moscow Art Theater School, Alexander Lazarev Jr. was enrolled in the troupe of the Lenkom theater, where he soon became one of the leading actors.

The Lazarevs' apartment on Tverskaya was located opposite the restaurant of the House of the Actor. The artists who gathered there after the performances often continued their gatherings at Svetlana and Alexander's houses. The actors were often visited by the director Eldar Ryazanov, who never tired of admiring the idyll that reigned in this family. Nemolyaeva tried to dissuade him that they had an ideal marriage, and told him: "". But the passions that boiled in their family were never destructive. Alexander Lazarev Jr. said that his parents were tied all their lives by "some amazing love." Despite the fact that they did not part, either at work or at home, there was no irritation or cooling between them. His father constantly confessed his mother's love and often complimented her. Svetlana Nemolyaeva allowed her husband to do only that work at home that was associated with the use of physical force - everything else was on her. She has always been firmly convinced that the artist should not be burdened with "household trifles" - he should not go to the store and do homework.

All the quarrels and "battles" in this family happened only on the basis of love: Polina's mother was indignant at how her grandfather pampered her and allowed her to eat while lying under the table, and Lazarev Sr. threatened to deprive them of their parental rights for tempering their daughter, in response. pouring cold water over it. At the same time, everyone tirelessly confessed their love to each other.

Mayakovsky, where he shares one dressing room for two with his grandmother. The girl says that she is the most restrained member of the family, and she says about her relatives: “”.
