Each of the heroines of our today's review at one time not only acted in films, but was remembered by the audience for their vivid roles. Nevertheless, all of them at some point dramatically changed their fate and preferred completely different professions to the stage and filming. Some actresses after a while returned to the theater and cinema, while others decided never to appear on the screens again. What made popular actresses change their destiny so dramatically?

Margarita Sergeecheva

Even in childhood, Margarita Sergeecheva became a screen star, because she began acting at the age of six. She was called "the girl with pigtails" and vied with each other invited to the shooting. After school, the young actress graduated with honors from LGITMiK and continued to act in films. However, the older Margarita Sergeecheva became, the less she was invited to the shooting.

Then she decided to drastically change her life. She graduated from the Russian Medical University and worked as an ambulance doctor for many years. The former actress is currently retiring on a disability pension after suffering a stroke.

Olga Melikhova

The star of the film "Vacation at my own expense" was quite in demand in the cinema, played on the theater stage, but in the difficult 1990s, due to the incessant pressure of her first husband, she decided to change her profession and entered the philological faculty of the university. True, as a result, she did not work as a teacher at all. Not without the help of friends, the actress managed to get to work in a private company that made furniture. She went from a simple manager to a manager.

And then she left for Finland with her second spouse. Abroad, the former actress had to endure many difficulties, including the threat of deportation of her elderly mother. In difficult times, Olga Melikhova found solace in icon painting, which she is already doing almost professionally.

Elena Drapeko

The filmography of the actress has more than 50 works in cinema, including such films as "The Eternal Call", "The Dawns Here Are Quiet", "Courage". But in the 1990s, she suddenly became so carried away by politics that she almost stopped acting in films. At the same time, Elena Drapeko herself admits: she really likes to be engaged in lawmaking and literally "investigate" complaints from people, trying to understand who is right in a given situation, and who is abusing power or her position. Sometimes Elena Drapeko still acts in films, but it no longer occupies the main place in her life.

Lyudmila Nilskaya

The actress, who made her film debut immediately in the title role in the film "Grasshopper", subsequently starred a lot, and was also in demand at the Mayakovsky Theater, where she came immediately after graduating from the Shchukin School. Unfortunately, in the difficult 1990s, Lyudmila Nilskaya succumbed to the persuasion of her husband Georgy Isaev and emigrated with him to the United States. After the spouse's simple business in America went bankrupt, the actress was forced to take on all the worries about providing for the family.

She served as a salesman and a cleaner, and then she was able to get the position of a personal driver from her own former compatriot, only very rich. It was from her that Lyudmila Nilskaya had to endure humiliation and reminders for a long time that she was nobody, and she would never go on stage or act in films again. But in the 2000s, the actress, having moved to her homeland again, was able to return to the profession.

Tatiana Drubich

In fact, the star of the films "One Hundred Days After Childhood", "Ten Little Indians" and others, never intended to completely link her fate with cinema. Tatyana Drubich graduated from the medical institute and for many years worked as an endocrinologist, only occasionally agreeing to be filmed in films.

The last time she appeared in the title role in the film by Renata Litvinova "The Last Fairy Tale of Rita." Outside the cinema, Tatyana Drubich is a co-owner of a pharmaceutical company, and is also engaged in social activities. She is on the board of trustees of the Vera organization, whose main function is to find funds to help hospices.

Alexandra Yakovleva

The actress, who became famous for her brilliant work in the films "The Sorcerers", "The Man from the Boulevard des Capuchins", "The Crew" and others, left the cinema in the 1990s, when art was going through hard times. At first, she headed the committee for culture and tourism in the Kaliningrad region, later she headed the quality control and personnel management service at Pulkovo airport, and then moved to the same position on the railway.

Today the actress is engaged in politics, being a member of the city council in her native Kaliningrad and heading the branch of the Yabloko party there.

Natalia Vorobyova-Khrzhich

The actress, who graduated from GITIS in 1971, managed to star in a dozen films in just a few years, most remembered by the viewer for the role of Ellochka the cannibal in the film "12 chairs". But in the 1970s, she got married and left with her husband to his homeland in Zagreb. At first, she still hoped to become a star of Yugoslav cinema, but language problems prevented her from doing so.

Natalia Vorobyova-Khrzhich took up literary work, and also works at the lexicographic institute and is a theater consultant in the Russian language.

Tatiana Klyueva

More than one generation of boys fell in love with this actress, who played the main role in the film "Barbarian Beauty, Long Braid". And the heart of the fabulous beauty belonged to a gallant sailor, after whom she left at one time for Sevastopol, almost without regret saying goodbye to the cinema.

Tatyana Klyueva considered it impermissible for herself to simply be dependent on her husband, and the times were quite difficult then. The former actress began to try herself in the trade by selling shoes, and today her small shoe stand in the market has grown into a pretty decent business.

Matlyuba Alimova

This talented actress was glorified by filming in the films "Gypsy", "The Tale of the Star Boy" and several other films. But in the 1990s, Matlyuba Alimova was effectively left without work. It was simply impossible to live in the capital without a livelihood, the actress was forced to return to her native Tashkent, where she took up the restoration of old Bukhara and Shakhrisabz embroideries.

Irina Borisova

Light and gentle Snow Maiden from "New Year's Adventures of Masha and Viti", charming student Natalka from "Police Sergeant", Antonina Chumakova from the picture "Only You" - Irina Borisova had every chance of becoming one of the most demanded actresses. But she, acting in films, received the profession of a lawyer in absentia. After receiving her diploma, she immediately left the cinema and took up jurisprudence.

More than one generation of children has grown up on the fairy tale film "New Year's Adventures of Masha and Viti". The film is still one of the best New Year's tales. What are the young actors who played the main roles in one of the favorite children's films doing now?
