36 years ago, the famous Soviet theater and film actor, People's Artist of the USSR, one of the most popular heroes of the cinema of the mid-twentieth century, passed away. Mikhail Zharov … He got used to his roles so convincingly that in real life he was mistaken for one of his thieves, billiard players, policemen, and even … drunkards. Although in fact Zharov was far from the screen images he created and was very burdened by his popularity, because of which he often got into unpleasant situations …
Mikhail Zharov's parents had nothing to do with art, but he himself was fond of theater from childhood. At the age of 16, he accidentally got into the crowd scene at the Zimin's theater, then played a cameo role in the film "Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich the Terrible" and then firmly decided that he would connect his life with this profession. For two years he worked as an extra and received a meager salary for this, but he did not change his decision.
In the 1920s-1930s. Mikhail Zharov was already a well-known theatrical actor, but real popularity came to him after the role of the thief Zhigan in the film "Start to Life". At first, he did not agree to this role, not understanding why the director sees him in the form of a swindler and a murderer. To which he replied: "". And in the role of the leader of the thieves' gang, Zharov was so convincing that in the criminal environment he was immediately taken for one of his own. He began to notice that in public transport passengers are looking at him with suspicion, clutching their bags with both hands. And once in a store his wallet was stolen. At the exit, the actor stopped some brute and gave the stolen goods with the words: "". He was not at all happy with such popularity.
He soon became so famous that the audience watched him at every step, waiting at the back door of the theater and chasing him in the streets. In the film "The Return of Maxim" Zharov played the clerk Dymba, who in one of the episodes sang the song: "". Wherever the actor appeared, he was immediately surrounded by boys shouting this song. Unable to withstand such attention to his person, Zharov applied for a personal car, although he had never asked for anything for himself before.
Once in an elite sanatorium, the actor met Stalin, and he himself approached him with the words: "". Zharov was confused and said the first thing that came to mind: "". Absolutely everyone knew him. Strangers often offered him a drink with them, although in real life he was indifferent to alcohol, the fans attacked the actor, not doubting that he was the same womanizer as on the screen. Although in fact Zharov was married several times, he never used his fame in order to conquer women. And although he had to break hearts, he himself paid for it too.
For the first time, the actor got married at the age of 19, but soon left his wife for another woman - actress Lyudmila Polyanskaya. But the second marriage was not happy either - Zharov's two children died as babies. And in 1943 on the set of the film "Air Carrier" he met a woman who became fatal for him. It was a young actress Lyudmila Tselikovskaya, and according to the plot, they were supposed to play a couple in love. No one imagined that they would have to play these roles in real life. Despite the 20-year age difference and the fact that both had families, they soon became a couple.
For the sake of his third wife, Mikhail Zharov was ready for anything, but she acted with him the same way he once did with his first wife. The actress fell in love with another and left the family. They say that in order to get it back, Zharov spent a fortune by buying black pearls, rare for those times, but this did not help either. The actor was so upset about parting that he even had a microinfarction. Later Lyudmila Tselikovskaya confessed: "" (the architect who became her next husband).
The fourth wife of Mikhail Zharov was 30 years younger than him. Maya Gelstein was the daughter of famous doctors and seemed to become the ideal companion of her famous husband. But soon fate again cruelly dealt with the actor: his wife's parents were arrested on a fabricated "case of doctors", and he himself was removed from the post of secretary of the party organization and stopped filming. Their daughter Anna told: "". Only after Stalin's death did he manage to return to the set again.
In the 1970s. a new wave of popularity came to Mikhail Zharov - as a director and actor, he created one of his most striking images, which became his hallmark - district Aniskin. But this role took his last strength. After filming, the actor fell seriously ill, he was taken to the hospital with a diagnosis of "aortic aneurysm", but it turned out that the problem was in appendicitis. Zharov developed peritonitis, and on December 15, 1981, he passed away. Until the last days, the actor remained a popular favorite, who enjoyed the same popularity both in the roles of villains and in the images of heroes.
The fate of the actress, who broke the heart of Mikhail Zharov, also developed dramatically: Lyudmila Tselikovskaya - an actress whom Stalin did not like.
