Name Natalia Guseva (Murashkevich) today it is hardly known to moviegoers, but in the 1980s. she was the most popular young actress in the USSR. The overwhelming success that overtook her at the age of 12 the role of Alisa Selezneva in the film "Guest from the Future", rather frightened her than made her happy: the girl was pursued everywhere by "alisomans", fans were on duty at the entrance, there were so many letters that all her relatives helped to read them. Now Natalya Murashkevich is 48, she could have made a successful film career, but since childhood she dreamed of something completely different - and made her dreams come true.
The acting profession never attracted Natalia Guseva, from childhood her favorite pastime was watching the life of insects, and the word "entomologist" did not seem to her incomprehensible and difficult to pronounce. She participated in all olympiads in chemistry and biology and planned to enter the biology department of Moscow State University after school. The shy girl never dreamed of fame and publicity - after all, she felt awkward even when it was necessary to ask a stranger what time it was.
Her quiet life ended when in 1983 a director came to their class from the film studio. M. Gorky - he was looking for teenagers to shoot the short film "Dangerous Trifles." Schoolchildren were asked to read poetry. Natasha was one of the best students in the class, and she also had a photogenic appearance, and the teacher recommended her. While working on the tape, director Pavel Arsenov drew attention to Guseva, who was just looking for actors for the children's science fiction film "Guest from the Future".
So an ordinary schoolgirl became the main character of the film based on the novel by Kir Bulychev "One Hundred Years Ahead". She loved this book very much and coped with the role without any problems. Later Natalya Guseva admitted: “I didn’t portray anything, I was myself, and did not experience any acting difficulties on the set. I just lived my life. " All the adults were delighted with her, but the girl did not find a common language with her peers - Guseva spent all her free time from filming in order to keep up with the school curriculum.
After the premiere of the film, incredible popularity fell upon her. Classmates, who had not paid any attention to her before, suddenly fell in love with her, "alisomans" sent bags of letters and were on duty in the stairwell. Mass adoration reached such proportions that the parents of the young actress were seriously afraid that their daughter would be kidnapped. She herself was so scared that she perceived the words of her parents as a threat: "If you don't study, you will become an artist."
The directors attacked her with new proposals, and she appeared in several more films, but none of them repeated the success of "Guests from the Future". She was even offered the lead role in the film "Accident - the daughter of a cop", but Guseva categorically refused - she was afraid to tarnish the image with which everyone associated her. And after graduation, Natalya entered the Moscow Institute of Fine Chemical Technology at the Department of Biotechnology and left the cinema forever.
Natalia Guseva also met her future husband thanks to Alisa Selezneva. Belarusian Denis Murashkevich was in love with the actress in absentia and when he found out that she flew to the shooting in Minsk, he made his way to her hotel room in a box from under the TV. After that, for several years they lost each other from sight, and then met again and decided to get married. In addition to mutual feelings, the couple was united by common interests. “Denis is a paramedic, he loves to hang out with snakes, and I adore spiders and cockroaches. When he courted me, he gave me a gorgeous big mantis! I was absolutely delighted,”the actress recalls.
After graduating from the institute, Natalya got a job at the laboratory of microbiology. She was offered an internship in France, but she had to refuse the tempting prospects due to the birth of her daughter. The mother-in-law offered to name her Alice, but Natalya insisted on the name Alesya. In 2001, the couple divorced, and in 2014 she again married designer Sergei Ambinder and gave birth to a daughter, Sofia. This became known only now - all this time Natalya carefully concealed the details of her personal life.
She never regretted her choice and is surprised that the audience still remembers and loves her. And he perceives his profession as a kind of adventure, a journey to another universe - the world of microorganisms.
Some of the actors who played Alisa Selezneva's classmates have since changed beyond recognition. Then and now: 17 actors from the children's cult film "Guest from the Future"
