There have always been many fans in her life, men could not pass by a beautiful and very charming actress. She was married twice, but the first husband of the actress died, and after the divorce from the second she was no longer filmed. The actress was never able to build personal happiness, but she does not hide: she has a fan with whom she could live her whole life.

The first love

Galina Polskikh was orphaned early. Her dad died in the fall of 1941 in the battles near Voronezh, and her mother died of tuberculosis when the girl was only 8 years old. Compassionate neighbors did everything to prevent Checkmark from ending up in the orphanage. They found the only relative of Galina - her grandmother, who for the sake of her granddaughter left the farm in Belarus and moved to Moscow.

They lived together in a tiny nine-meter room in the basement, grandmother washed the floors in a grocery store, and granddaughter dreamed of becoming an actress. It seemed to her that the actresses had a completely different life. They eat differently, wear completely different clothes and, of course, do not need anything.

And the girl entered the acting department at VGIK. She was already popular then. Half of the representatives of the stronger sex of the institute were in love with the beautiful student. Faik Hasanov, a third-year director of the directing department, simply surrounded the girl with his attention. In the student cafeteria, he did not take his eyes off her. Then he sat down at her table and talked. He admired her beauty and dreamed aloud of the time when he would be able to wake up with her, have breakfast at the same table and go to college together.

Galina, who grew up with a kind but strict grandmother, desperately needed love. She responded to the courtship of the young man, played a modest wedding. Faik asked what she would like and promised to do everything for her. The girl said that she had never seen the sea, had never flown on an airplane, and she also really wanted a red coat. He fulfilled all three of her wishes, although he had to save money for their fulfillment for a long time.

The actress and her fans

In 1960, the couple had a daughter, Irada. Galina took an academic leave, during which she played the role of 14-year-old Tanya Sabaneeva in "Wild Dog Dingo".

During filming, 13-year-old Talas Umurzakov, who played the role of Filka, fell in love with her. He could not understand in any way that Galina is an adult girl who has a husband and even a little daughter.

However, this did not stop Vyacheslav Chaplin, the second director. Galina accidentally overheard his conversation with her husband, Faik Hasanov. Vyacheslav talked about his love for Galina, and Faik urged him to retreat, not to interfere with their family.

When Galina starred in the film "I Walk Through Moscow", all the heroes of the picture were in love with her. Of course, her husband was jealous of her. Not everything worked out for him professionally. The actress, on the other hand, began to often travel on creative business trips, including abroad.

Second marriage

Sergei Gerasimov's film "Journalist" was filmed in the Urals. At the very beginning of filming, the news came about Galina's grandmother's stroke. She flew to Moscow, but her grandmother died.

The actress found the strength to continue acting. But then another blow followed. She was informed about the death of Faik Hasanov. He was hit by a tram in Odessa, not far from the film studio. Galina Polskikh with difficulty, but withstood this blow of fate. The loss seemed inconceivable.

A year after her husband's death, director Alexander Surin, the son of the Mosfilm director, began to look after her on the set of The Ballad of the Commissar. Everything happened so quickly that the actress herself did not understand how the resort romance suddenly turned into her second marriage. After returning from Yalta, where the film was filmed, she became the wife of Alexander. But she divorced him, not having lived even a year. Neighbors took her and her youngest daughter Mashenka from the hospital.

After a divorce from Surin, Galina suddenly found herself in a creative simple. The directors stopped inviting her to the main roles, fearing that Surin's influential father simply would not approve the actress for the role.

The most precious thing in life

It was difficult for her, but the actress never complained. She raised her daughters and believed: everything will be fine. Shooting in foreign films saved from lack of money. First she played the role of a military traffic controller in the film I was nineteen (GDR), then Jadwig in the Polish film Signs on the Roads.

After the forced downtime, director Igor Gostev was the first to take it off, and later the former father-in-law also retired, the actress began to be removed again.

She always had fans, but the girls, Irada and Masha did not want to see anyone next to their mother. They started talking almost like an adult in front of their mother about the shortcomings of her next admirer, and Galina Aleksandrovna understood that she would not be able to exchange the peace of her daughters for an ephemeral hope for personal happiness. So she was left alone.

However, once in an interview, she let slip that she met a man who returned her faith in love. True, she refused to give his name. But she noticed: with this man she could live her whole life.

Everyone experiences loss differently. after the death of his wife, he decided to give hope for life to children with the same disease from which his wife died.
