His on-screen characters were the complete opposite of the actor himself, but he was never burdened by his roles. On the contrary, he rejoiced at the opportunity to do his own thing. Georgy Vitsin was a very modest person in his life. He was ashamed of his own popularity and tried to be invisible on the street, avoiding the attention of enthusiastic spectators and, of course, fans. Fate gave him a meeting with two beautiful women, and he was able to make both happy. Georgy Vitsin was not at all the sultan that Yuri Nikulin sang about in the film "Prisoner of the Caucasus", but he had two wives.

Forbidden love

He came to the Yermolova Theater from a student's bench. The Moscow Art Theater-2 course, where Georgy Vitsin studied, was disbanded. He was one of the favorite students of Nikolai Khmelev, and ironically, became his rival.

The 19-year-old actor at first sight fell in love with Dina Topoleva, the wife of Nikolai Khmelev. A talented beautiful actress was the prima of the theater and has always enjoyed success with men. After the performances with the participation of Topoleva, fans were waiting for her at the theater, and among her colleagues there was no shortage of admirers. But the actress herself suddenly began to sympathize with the young actor.

In life, Dina (full name Nadezhda) was a match for George: quiet and modest. They could walk for hours on Moscow boulevards, holding hands, have leisurely conversations, or simply be silent, sitting on a park bench. As a result, Dina Topoleva left her husband for Georgy Vitsin, but they never officially registered their marriage.

Nikolay Khmelev behaved very wisely in this situation. He not only did not stop giving the role to his student, but did not begin to arrange any sort of showdown.

Georgy Vitsin loved this woman very much. For 20 years they were together in joy and sorrow, but still parted. It is not known for certain whether Dina Topoleva initiated the termination of relations, or the reason for the collapse of their union was a new feeling that visited Georgy Mikhailovich. But even after the actor married another woman, he did not leave his first wife to fend for themselves. Until the very last day of her life, he took care of the woman he loved. I bought her food and medicine, paid for the housekeeper, and constantly visited.

And again love at first sight

Tamara Michurina first saw Georgy Vitsin in a photograph in the foyer of the Yermolova Theater, where she worked as a prop. Georgy Mikhailovich was not a written handsome man, but his sharp, piercing gaze could captivate anyone. It was the eyes that made an indelible impression on the girl.

And then they met. The actor entered the props shop for Easter, with a painted egg in his hands. And he announced that he had come to confess. Georgy Vitsin and Tamara Michurina, according to custom, kissed three times, and then just looked into each other's eyes. Feelings between them flared up almost at the same moment. The niece of the famous breeder Ivan Michurin became the legal wife of the famous actor.

Little big happiness

Soon the couple had their only daughter, adored Natasha. Legends can be made about the love of Georgy Vitsin for his daughter. Could anyone else, besides this delicate and delicate person, write letters to his one-year-old daughter?

Going to the shooting or on tour, he wrote letters to her, baby, escaping from longing for his beloved baby. He told her to drink juices and eat well, gain strength for the future life.

When the girl grew up, he began to take her with him to the shooting. She followed Daddy's tail, and during his work she sat quietly nearby. A little later I filmed with a home video camera my father's rehearsals and their walks around the city. It was the father who pushed the girl to choose a profession. He drew well himself and even thought to do it professionally, but the actor in him defeated the artist. But her daughter Natalya became a graphic artist.

Responsible happiness

The actor's wife unconditionally made his decision to help Dina Topoleva. The first wife of Georgy Vitsin was practically a member of their family. Dina and Tamara became friends, in the summer they all went to the dacha together. Natasha, together with her father, visited the actress, treated her with respect and love. It was her daughter Vitsina who could calmly entrust her sweet girlish secrets. He simply could not leave without the help of a woman with whom he was happy for 20 years.

He did not like to give interviews and generally tried to live imperceptibly, finding a source of joy not in fame and popularity, but in very simple, everyday things. Georgy Vitsin knew how to love. This applied not only to relatives and friends. In general, he loved all living things. Rescued a puppy who was freezing in the street, brought him to his house and looked after him with care. He fed all the stray dogs in the neighborhood, cooked porridge especially for them, and bought good millet for the pigeons in the yard.

In the fall of 2001, after participating in a concert at the Theater of the Film Actor, Georgy Vitsin became ill. Heart. Two days after being discharged from the hospital, he was again hospitalized. He passed away on October 22, 2001. And on the fortieth day after the death of the owner, the dog Boy, once saved by him, died.

The audience did not even know what kind of person he really was. Nobody could even imagine that the actor who played alcoholics never drank alcohol in his life and carefully monitored his health.
