May 10 marks the 80th anniversary of the famous French actress Marina Vladi … In our country, her name has been mentioned for the last 30 years, as a rule, only in connection with her famous husband Vladimir Vysotsky. Few people know that the actress got married four times, and all her husbands were unique people. Marina Vladi has spent the last 14 years alone, but she still fondly remembers all her attempts to catch the bird of happiness by the tail.
Marina Polyakova-Baydarova (she later took the pseudonym Vladi in honor of her father) met her first husband at the age of 15. An aspiring French actor and director Robert Hossein was a frequent visitor to their house. Marina acted in films from the age of 11, and Hossein offered her a role in his film. And at the age of 17 she became his wife. Thanks to this creative and family tandem, Marina Vlady in the late 1950s. became a famous actress and mother of two sons.
This actor is well known to Russian viewers from the role of Geoffrey de Peyrac in the films about Angelica. He himself considered himself Russian, although his father was Azerbaijani and his mother was Jewish, born in Kiev. Marina Vlady's parents were also Russian émigrés, and at first Robert was very attracted to tea drinking in the big house of a Russian noble family. But soon everything changed: “Marina did not want to part with her sisters, parents, this habitual way of life. And I could no longer live on the collective farm! Sometimes it seemed to me that I was married to all four sisters at once. Years of scandals and quarrels followed. We parted painfully - even two little sons could not keep us together. You can't build a relationship when only one person is ready to do anything for the sake of another, and the other… I sincerely and selflessly loved Marina. And what she felt for me remained a mystery to me,”the actor recalls. Their marriage lasted only 5 years.
Marina Vladi met her second husband in the sky - during one of the flights. Jean-Claude Bruyet was a civil aviation pilot, owner of two international airlines, a traveler and a businessman. Despite the fact that Bruillet was a fairly well-known person in France, the popularity of his wife was several times higher than his own. In addition, Jean-Claude wanted to see his wife at home, and not endlessly wait for her return from the set, and Marina Vlady was not going to quit her profession for her husband. Therefore, soon this marriage also cracked at the seams.
When in 1967 Marina Vladi met Vladimir Vysotsky, he was married, and she was already free. The actress described the history of their acquaintance as follows: “These first words you uttered confuse me, I answer you with duty compliments about the performance, but it is clear that you are not listening to me. You say you would like to leave here and sing for me. … In the car, we continue to silently look at each other … I see your eyes - shining and tender, a short-cropped nape, two days of stubble, cheeks sunken from fatigue. You are ugly, you have an unremarkable appearance, but you have an extraordinary look. As soon as we arrive at Max's, you take your guitar. I am amazed by your voice, your strength, your cry. And also the fact that you are sitting at my feet and singing for me alone … And right there, without any transition, you say that you have loved me for a long time. Like any actress, I have heard such inappropriate confessions. But with your words, I'm really excited."
A lot has been written about this union - both as about one of the most beautiful love stories of the twentieth century, and as about a painful passion with catastrophic consequences for both sides. Marina Vlady wrote about it this way: “The whole night was not enough for us to fully understand the depth of our feelings. Long months of flirting, sly looks and tenderness were like a prelude to something immeasurably greater. Each found the missing half in the other. We are drowning in an endless space where there is nothing but love. However, skeptics still question her sincerity.
Be that as it may, the death of Vysotsky Marina Vlady was very upset. She said that this marriage incinerated her. The famous oncologist Leon Schwarzenberg helped her get out of a prolonged depression. In France, he also became famous as a scientist and politician. The fourth marriage of the actress was the longest - it lasted more than 20 years, until the death of her husband from cancer in 2003.
It seemed to her that her life was over. For some time, the actress suffered from alcohol addiction, but found salvation in literary activity and wrote about 20 books. Marina Vladi never married again, and remembered all her husbands with pride, as exceptional and unique people.
