They say that parents often strive to realize in their children what they have not been able to achieve in their own lives. This can be confirmed by an example actress Galina Loginova and her daughter Milla Jovovich … In the USSR, Loginova's film career could hardly be called successful, and after emigrating to the United States, she had to completely forget about her acting ambitions. But on the other hand, they were successfully implemented by her talented daughter, whom the whole world now knows.
Galina Loginova was born into a military family. They often moved from city to city, Galina graduated from school in Dnepropetrovsk. It was there that she once accidentally saw an announcement about auditioning those wishing to enter VGIK. In those days, there was a rule on mandatory quotas for applicants from national republics when entering the capital's universities. That year, 12 students from Ukraine were admitted to VGIK, and Galina Loginova was among them.
Her film debut took place shortly after admission. She played a supporting role in Shadows Fade at Noon. The picture was very popular with the audience, and they began to recognize Loginova. And the first major role for her was the role of Beatrice in the musical adaptation of Shakespeare's play Much Ado About Nothing, where her partner was Konstantin Raikin. At the time when Galina Loginova returned to Kiev after VGIK, she was already a fairly well-known actress.
Once at a party, Galina met a doctor from Yugoslavia, Bogdan Jovovich. As she later admitted, it was love at first sight. In 1974, they had a wedding, but from that moment on, real difficulties began. Due to the expiration of the visa period, Jovovich was forced to leave the USSR. In 1975 their daughter Milla was born. At the film studio. Dovzhenko was not offered significant roles to Loginova, and even after Galina got married, it was possible to put an end to her film career - after all, in the USSR, those who married foreigners were considered unreliable. Then she decided to emigrate abroad.
In 1981, having arrived for the third time to meet with her husband in Belgorod, Galina decided not to return. They applied to travel to the United States and received permission. After the move, new problems arose: Bogdan Jovovich was unable to obtain an American doctor's license, the actress also had to forget about her professional ambitions - she worked as a maid. In the early 1990s. Bogdan Jovovich went to jail on charges of financial fraud with health insurance.
Then Loginova devoted all her strength and all her time to her daughter. From a young age, she attended acting courses, choreography and vocal classes, modeling courses, guitar classes, etc. The girl received her first film role at the age of 11. Then she starred in scandalous photo shoots that made a lot of noise due to excessive frankness and eroticism.
Galina Loginova was a mother-manager. She monitored all her daughter's contacts - from personal to professional, assessing the degree of their "usefulness". It was she who decided to add the second "l" in the name of her daughter to keep it exotic sound - otherwise it would have been pronounced like "Mayla". She negotiated and made the necessary connections. And the result exceeded all expectations: Milla Jovovich managed to achieve what her mother dreamed of. She became a real Hollywood superstar.
When Galina Loginova is asked if she regrets her failed career, she replies: “I think my career has taken place. After all, a successful career is not only a profession, but life itself. When you look at your life and rejoice, saying to yourself: "Everything is fine, I can rest." Now I have such a state. " Now Galina Loginova no longer works as an agent for her daughter, she again acts in films and conducts master classes on the topic "How to become a manager of the fate of your child."
And Milla Jovovich speaks in almost every interview about her gratitude to her mother and does not get tired of repeating: “I am very proud of my Russian roots. The power of will that I feel in myself, I am entirely indebted to my origin."
In 2015 Mila Jovovich joined the ranks for the second time happy star couples who became parents
