In the filmography of this actress, who celebrated her 90th birthday in August 2020, there are many works in films and TV shows. Fate generously endowed her with talent, and the audience - their love. Lyudmila Khityaeva was happy not only in her profession, but also in life, although she had to go through the betrayal of loved ones. And give up your own happiness, finding yourself a replacement for your husband.

No compromise in love

Lyudmila Khityaeva in her childhood dreamed of becoming not an actress at all. And after graduation, she successfully passed the documents to the medical institute, intending to become a doctor. After passing the exams, Lyudmila learned that her friend dreamed of becoming an actress, but she was very afraid to go to the theater school alone. As a result, the friends went together, and during the open auditions, Lyudmila was also offered to read something. After the teachers unanimously passed the verdict: she has God's gift. And the girl, instead of a medical one, entered the theater school.

She was the youngest on the course, Lyudmila Khityaeva was called "Zheltorotik" and was taken care of in every possible way. As the actress admits, if Alexander Belokrinkin, who sympathized with her, had at least one vice, caring classmates would simply not have allowed a hint of courting on his part.

After receiving their diplomas, Alexander Belokrinkin and Lyudmila Khityaeva came together to the Gorky Drama Theater, which was thundering all over the country at that time. They started together, were very successful, but Lyudmila Khityaeva soon began to develop a successful career in cinema. Even after the birth of her only son, Pavel, with her husband, she did not sit on maternity leave, but continued to act in films and appeared on the stage.

Alexander Belokrinkin increasingly distanced himself from his wife, clearly jealous of her fame and success. Pavlik was only one and a half years old when Lyudmila Khityaeva, having returned home for just a couple of days from the filming of the film "Evdokia", learned from a "benevolent" friend that her husband had another. She did not give her husband the opportunity to explain himself, immediately believing in his betrayal, and left him.

Then over the years she reproached herself for not listening to her husband. If she even for a second doubted the words of her friend and allowed Alexander to justify himself, everything could be different in her life. But the train left a long time ago. When the spouses filed for divorce, Lyudmila Khityaeva had already met Boris Yakobson, who later became her second husband, but Alexander Belokrinkin married only 14 years later.

Other errors

Lyudmila Khityaeva has always been a very devoted person. Even when Aristotle Onassis drew attention to her, she did not even think about a possible affair with the richest man on the planet.

She was a very good wife. Her house was always clean, warm and comfortable, Lyudmila Ivanovna cooked well and was a hospitable hostess. Lyudmila Khityaeva considers the only mistake in her second marriage to be her refusal to have a child. At that time, she was afraid to interrupt her career and got rid of two pregnancies.

The actress, remembering the divorce from her first husband, did not even allow herself to think that her husband could cheat on her. She was confident in his feelings and believed that they had a whole life ahead of them. But Boris Yakobson often drew attention to beautiful women.

Lyudmila Ivanovna diligently did not pay attention to the alarm bells, until she, returning home, found her husband in the company of another woman. By the evening of the next day, she calmly packed her husband's things and sent him to his parents. The apartment in which they lived was received by Lyudmila Khityaeva.

She refused to listen to pleas for forgiveness, a second chance, and fervent feelings. Her husband's parents later persuaded her, but the actress was adamant: she forgave him, but she could not forget the betrayal.

New wife for husband

And soon Valery Leontiev, a stuntman and stunt director at Mosfilm, a master of sports in speedway and a graduate of Baumanka, appeared in her life. They met on New Year's Eve, but there was no talk of any relationship. Valery happened to be in their company by accident, and he was with his wife.

But then Lyudmila Khityaeva and Valery Leontyev began to often intersect at Mosfilm, and the actress was afraid to admit even to herself that she liked this young man. But he was married, firstly, and she was 11 years older, and secondly. Once Valery told Lyudmila that he was going to divorce his wife. As it turned out, they had long ago moved away from each other, and parting was only a matter of time.

Lyudmila Khityaeva and Valery Leontyev have lived together for more than 20 happy years. Valery found a common language with the son of the actress, got along well with her parents, was ready to carry his wife in his arms. She refused to go to the registry office, considering the stamp in her passport just a convention. The actress was truly happy, but upset because she was unable to give birth to a child to her beloved husband.

Lyudmila Ivanovna saw how her husband was changing in the society of children. And once, seeing him at the dacha in the company of children of different ages, she decided to leave. But before that she intended to find a woman who could give birth to his child.

When she spoke to her husband about this, he was, of course, discouraged. But Lyudmila Khityaeva knew how to be persistent. She herself drew his attention to a young saleswoman in a stationery store, and facilitated his acquaintance. And then she gave her husband her apartment at the disposal of her husband so that he could get to know better the one that she herself chose as his wife. This is not to say that this step was given to her easily, but the actress stepped over herself to make her loved one happy.

Valery Leontyev and his wife Alena had two children, and Lyudmila Khityaeva is still the most dear guest in their house.

Happy loneliness

In her life there was another, completely dizzying romance, which lasted eight years. She met Andrei while visiting mutual acquaintances, he played the piano perfectly, and then even asked to visit her. It turned out that Lyudmila Khityaeva was his favorite actress for many years.

Subsequently, they had a joint program where Andrei played, and Lyudmila Ivanovna read poetry. Hearing a declaration of love from a young man, she was shocked and did not intend to respond to his courtship. True, Andrei was in love, convincing and persistent. He still managed to achieve reciprocity from his beloved actress and stunning woman. But she decisively broke up with him after her lover became addicted to alcohol.

Lyudmila Khityaeva is 90 years old, and she is still in love with life, tries not to sit in one place and often flies to Thailand to her son, who lives there with his family. She believes that a woman can be happy at any age and regardless of her marital status.

One of the iconic works of Lyudmila Khityaeva in the cinema was the role of Solokha in the fairy tale film Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka. The fabulous story, based on the story of Nikolai Gogol, is popular today, and the actors who starred in it were remembered for their talented acting and the unique images created on the screen.
