Their family life is a story of happiness. The story of the incredible love of Leonid Kuravlev and his wife Nina lasted almost 60 years. Their marriage was 52 years old. And only death could separate this amazing couple. But Leonid Vyacheslavovich believes that they will definitely be reunited in heaven.
First and only love
He was in ninth grade when he first saw her at the rink: a small, fragile, very beautiful and defenseless girl who glided on the ice with inspiration. She rolled past a completely fascinated Leni without even noticing him. But he managed, in a few short moments, to consider both a gentle blush and a gaze immersed in himself. The girl turned out to be two and a half years younger than Leonid, she studied in the seventh grade.
When Leonid was already in the tenth, they became seriously friends. They began to call each other, walk, go to the cinema. His Nina turned out to be an amazing girl, unlike anyone else. Calm, even strict, at the same time unusually kind and welcoming. And most importantly, Nina was an absolutely self-sufficient person. She was never jealous of him and did not demand an account of where and with whom he was, if he suddenly suddenly disappeared, and then also suddenly appeared under her windows.
Leonidas realized that he had met Her, his only one. He does not need to look for anyone, suffer, rush. He chose once and for life.
When they want to get married, then you have to do it
Leonid Kuravlyov, even in his student years at VGIK, was not noticed, not so much in novels, even in harmless flirting. It seemed that he simply did not notice that someone was looking at him with sympathy. He firmly knew his life, his destiny, his love - this is Nina.
At the same time, he was a rather closed person, his classmates did not even know that the cute Lenya had Nina. He was just happy because next to him was the most beautiful girl in the world.
As soon as he graduated from VGIK in 1960, they got married. Both had no doubts about the correctness of the choice. It was a real, light, clean, airy-tender feeling. It was love.
Love inspiration
Leonid Kuravlev will play all his roles after the wedding. Real people's love and glory will come to him. But in life Leonid Vyacheslavovich will always remain a modest and even closed person.
His beloved Ninochka was constantly next to her Lenya. She never boasted of the fame of the wife of a famous actor. She worked at school as a simple English teacher. Later, Nina Vasilievna will become the head teacher, and then the director of the school, having achieved everything on her own.
Many colleagues considered Leonid Kuravlev to be henpecked. He just loved and was happy in his love. He never stayed for acting parties. If the shooting took place in Moscow, then immediately after the words “the shooting day is over,” he hurried home, where his beloved wife and his children were waiting for him. Daughter Ekaterina was born to the Kuravlevs in 1962, and son Vasily in 1978. The wife's son was named after Vasily Shukshin, who, in fact, gave a start to the cinema for the novice actor Leonid Kuravlev.
He and his wife never made their private life public. And the children were raised by the same modest and decent people.
Children of love
The daughter of Leonid and Nina Kuravlev graduated from the Shchukin School, starred in several films. She even played with her dad in The Most Charming and Attractive. But the girl quickly realized that theater and cinema are not her vocation, and Katya continued her education, becoming a psychotherapist.
Vasily graduated from the Automobile and Road Institute, since 2004 he worked at RUDN University and at the same time developed his own business. He has three sons, whom Nina Vasilievna loved very much, Leonid Vyacheslavovich simply adores boys.
The actor proudly says that his children grew up to be good people. Probably, the main merit in this is loving parents. Nina and Leonid never tried to put pressure on children, break and subjugate their personalities. From childhood, they taught their daughter and son not only to make decisions, but also to be responsible for them.
When Catherine and Vasily grew up, they, just like their parents, began to protect the family from prying eyes and intrusive attention.
A life full of love
In 2010, the couple celebrated their golden anniversary. All the years of family life, they were happy. Harmony and mutual understanding have always reigned in this wonderful family. Leonid Vyacheslavovich once said in an interview that Nina Vasilievna was everything to him. From each trip, he brought many gifts for his wife and children. He did everything so that his family never needed anything.
And Nina Vasilievna all her life very touchingly took care of her wife. She was his first advisor, support and support. In 2012, she began to complain of malaise. The doctor looked at her heart attack. When they went to another doctor, it was too late. Heart surgery was unsuccessful. If it had been done a little earlier, Nina Vasilievna's life could have been saved. In April 2012, the actor's beloved wife, his only Ninochka, left this world.
Life after love
Leonid Kuravlev, with the departure of his wife, lost the meaning of life. And before that, the rather introverted actor became almost a recluse. At first, he practically stopped leaving the house, not understanding how he could continue to exist in a world where his beloved no longer exists. Daughter Ekaterina moved to her father and took care of him. Vasily constantly visited them. Children and grandchildren actually breathed life into dad and grandfather. Gradually, step by step, he again learned to walk, breathe, speak. Without my Nina.
Leonid Vyacheslavovich wanted to put a large beautiful monument on his wife's grave. But his natural modesty stopped this impulse. He erected the usual unremarkable monument. For two. There is carved the name of his wife and dates of birth and death, and next to it is his name, so far without dates. The actor admits that he is ready to face death and hopes to be reunited in heaven with his Nina. He continues to love her now, his only one.
Leonid Kuravlev was lucky to fall in love and live his whole life with his beloved. In the life of a great storyteller Andersen also had one love, but his beloved turned out to be a real Snow Queen.
