2024 Author: Richard Flannagan | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-15 23:55
Rodion Nakhapetov flew to Moscow to say the last "forgive" to the one whom he loved many years ago. It was thanks to him that they learned about Vera Glagoleva as an actress. She became his muse and his inspiration for 15 years. And yet they parted, unable to keep the warmth of the family hearth. Saying goodbye to her forever, he could hardly hold back tears.
I don't want to be an actress
Vera Glagoleva came to a private screening at Mosfilm at the invitation of a friend. She had been here before, so she was confidently walking down the studio corridor when the assistants stopped her and offered to take part in the audition. Charmingly fragile, with long bangs like Mireille Mathieu and in a green fashionable jumpsuit, for a long time she could not understand what these people want from her. Her plans did not include shooting, she was a master of sports in archery, played in the national team of the Moscow region and planned her sports career. The assistants were persistent. After all, the director Rodion Nakhapetov pointed them out to this particular girl. It was easier to agree than wasting time in long bickering.
After Rodion saw her photographs, he was upset. They did not reflect even a hundredth part of her real charm and beauty. The director abandoned the idea to film Glagoleva. But then the main character's partner fell ill, Glagolev was again invited to the site - to play along with the main character instead of the sick partner. It was assumed that only the back of her head would be removed.
While the director was busy, Vera quickly learned the text, it became easy to throw phrases with a partner. Vera was so natural and self-confident that Nakhapetov immediately introduced her into the frame. When he saw her eyes full of tears, he suddenly realized: they will succeed in the picture. But everything worked out for them in life.
Love affair at work
He still did not understand why he was so reverent about this touching girl. He watched her play, and his heart sank. Gradually, step by step, the director and the young actress became friends. He was always trying to understand why he was so attracted to this girl. I could not find an explanation, but became attached to her more and more. However, Vera answered him in full reciprocity. After filming, the picture was forced to redo many times, and Mikhalkov invited Nakhapetov himself to the main role in "Slave of Love". Rodion went to Odessa with Vera. He simply could not part with her for a minute.
In the evening they wandered around Odessa, and Vera dreamed of entering VGIK. And he was sad. He understood: she would have new interests, new friends, their romance could gradually come to naught, they would have to part. When Vera heard about his doubts, she firmly refused to go to college.
Rodion was touched and immediately proposed to this amazing girl.
Family boat
In 1976, Vera Glagoleva and Rodion Nakhapetov became husband and wife. When she left for the shooting of Anatoly Efros's film "On Thursday and Never Again", Rodion realized that he needed to work together, otherwise he risks seeing his wife more often on the screen, and not in life … Since then, he has filmed her in his paintings.
In 1978, the eldest daughter Anna was born to the couple. Their house was bright and cozy: the couple brought furniture from Chisinau, Vera's mother, Galina Naumovna, gave them a piano. They often went to nature, Vera loved to wander through the forest, enjoying the silence and picking mushrooms. She was always surrounded by friends and girlfriends, but the warmest relations connected her with her brother Boris.
In 1980, Vera and Rodion had a second daughter, Maria. Vera Glagoleva said in her interviews that she was not a very good mother. She still starred a lot, and Galina Naumovna helped raise her daughters. True, the daughters never had doubts that their mother loved them.
When love ends
The couple began to part more and more often. Each of them had their own creative plans and their own shooting. Both of them sadly noted that they were losing something important, but the rapid pace of life did not allow them to stop and repair the cracked family foundation.
In 1988, he moved to America, where the release of his film "At the End of the Night" was to begin. The one where there was no role for his wife. Then he will write in his memoirs that his feelings for Vera had already cooled down, and his relationship was rather friendly. It was just there, in America, that he met his new love, with which he connected his professional plans.
Vera understood everything when she and her daughters visited the house where he lived. It was the home of Natalia Shlyapkoff and her husband. True, she had already divorced him, and Rodion still did not dare to tell Vera that he was in love with his manager, the mistress of his refuge in America. Vera herself took the decisive step and let him go. No matter how painful it was, she never forbade the girls to communicate with their father. Only once in an interview, she called his departure to America a betrayal.
In 1991, Vera and Rodion filed for divorce. From that moment on, everyone had their own life.
Recall, she died on August 16, 2017 after a long illness.
