While driving her own car, the actress was discussing something with the operator and assistant sitting next to her. Carried away by the conversation, she did not notice the woman crossing the road and knocked her down. Svetlana did not even have time to understand what had happened. The passengers shouted to her: "Don't stop!" The actress instinctively drove on, but the police caught up with her. The woman who fell under the wheels of her car died. Svetlana Kharitonova was given a suspended sentence and ordered to go to correctional labor at a reinforced concrete plant in Pokrov, Vladimir region, for three years. Over the next 7 years, the actress financially helped the family of the deceased.
After her release, Svetlana tried to return to the cinema. Many colleagues supported her. "", - she said. In the 1980s. she still continued to act in films, and in the 1990s she was forced to leave the profession.
The last 20 years have been the hardest in the life of the actress. She lived in poverty and loneliness, alone with her sick daughter. The former actress had to sell newspapers near the metro. She would have had a very difficult time if it were not for the financial assistance provided by the Guild of Cinema Actors and the Urga - Territory of Love Foundation for Assistance to Domestic Filmmakers in recent years. Neighbors saw him go to the temple on Lev Tolstoy Street for free meals for the homeless.
