Surprisingly charming and cheerful actress Natalya Krachkovskaya has always been very popular with men. But all her life she loved only one man - her husband Vladimir Vasilyevich. And even after his death, she continued to be faithful to him.

Natalia Belogortseva

Little Natasha in childhood was an ordinary girl and dreamed of becoming an actress. But her Georgian grandmother was determined to feed her slender granddaughter, saving her from malnutrition. However, Natasha herself did not really mind, because she always loved to eat. And how could you refuse ruddy fragrant pies and amazing grandmother's casseroles?

Even after gaining excess weight, Natalya did not change her dream of a stage and after school resolutely submitted documents to VGIK. She was not scared by the competition of 256 people for one place. During the entrance exam, she read Ivanushka the Fool's monologue so expressively that Vladimir Belokurov immediately decided to take this fool for the course.

Inspired, Natalia was already dreaming of movie roles when misfortune crossed out all her plans. After the girl was hit by a car, she temporarily lost her eyesight, and at the same time her place in the institute, because the doctors categorically forbade her to study and work until the body is fully restored.

During this period, her grandmother Praskovya took care of her, thanks to whom Natalya Belogortseva was able to fully recover from the accident. She began working as a laboratory assistant at the Institute of Metallurgy, and devoted all her free time to participation in extras or episodes at Mosfilm. In 1962, young Natalia was invited to shoot the film "High Water", where she met her only love.

Vladimir Krachkovsky

Vladimir Krachkovsky was born into the family of Vasily Polikarpovich Krachkovsky, a professor and railway engineer. Volodya was still a teenager when his father was arrested and then shot in 1938. Despite the fact that there were many scientific works and works of the pope in the house, Vladimir did not follow his path, choosing for himself the career of a sound engineer. He took part in the filming of a huge number of films. But the year 1962 became fateful for him, when he saw Natalia Belogortseva in Tarusa.

A flood of feelings

In 1962, the film "Flood" was filmed about rural life and rural destinies. It was during the filming that Vladimir Krachkovsky noticed Natalia Belogortseva, who then turned 22 years old. He was already 42.

Vladimir immediately drew attention to the good-natured plump girl. She was always in a good mood. Perhaps that is why she had no end to her fans. But the sound engineer decided that he could win the heart of this lovely beauty.

And he took a path that was completely unconventional. He did not give Natasha flowers, write notes, invite her on a date. He just brought her breakfast in bed. The girls who lived with her in the same room during the filming woke Natasha Belogortseva and showed her a tray on which golden buns sparkled deliciously, and fresh cottage cheese, sprinkled with sour cream, was comfortably located nearby. Natalia could not resist this magnificence.

It was not even about the buns, but about the care that was so clearly read in his act. Natalia, of course, drew attention to the modest sound engineer. With some special feminine instinct, she realized that this outwardly unremarkable man would become the best in the world for her. And he brought her the freshest buns every morning. And he promised that it will always be so. At that moment, young Natasha realized that this man was hers. And she said she would marry him.

Honeymoon trip through the apple orchard

Natalia Belogortseva's mother tried to explain to her daughter that the age difference of almost 20 years is very large for a marriage. But Natasha knew for sure: her love can overcome any difficulties, and his care will make her the happiest woman in the world. She seemed to see her future life with Vladimir. She knew how gentle he could be, loving, condescending to little female weaknesses.

They signed, marking the event with their relatives. And they went to the place where they met. They walked in the apple orchard in Tarusa and dreamed of the future. In 1963, they had a son, Vasily, who would later follow in his father's footsteps and also become a sound engineer.

Simple female happiness

For 26 years they have enjoyed happiness. Vladimir Vasilievich turned out to be a very intelligent and interesting person. Natalia always loved to listen to his stories. He knew the history of Moscow well, loved to talk about the formation and development of the capital. And Natasha did not close her eyes until five in the morning, unable to interrupt his story about his beloved city. The enthusiastic, talented Vladimir infected his wife with his interest. Thanks to him, she became better, smarter, more confident in herself.

For a quarter of a century of family life, he never once raised his voice to his beloved Natasha. If an emotional wife flared up, uttered something non-stop, he inserted a simple question about dinner, and the impending quarrel quickly turned into a peaceful meal. Thanks to him, Natalia agreed to play Madame Gritsatsuyeva and became a famous actress.

Natalya Krachkovskaya, who doted on her wife, enthusiastically prepared dinners for him and enjoyed the fact that she could take care of this amazing person. And he just made her happy every day.

I don't need another …

In 1988, a heart attack took the life of Vladimir Krachkovsky. For Natalia Leonidovna, the world around her has lost all colors. He no longer met her after filming and did not tell his endless stories.

She was very upset about the death of her beloved husband, she talked to him in a dream and asked to pick her up … But in reality she was invited to play the role of a burgher in the film "Maid of Rouen, nicknamed Pyshka." In the frame, she danced merrily and enthusiastically chewed a huge bun. And outside the set, she could not hold back her tears.

She never married again. She knew that there was no one like her Volodya in the world anymore. Her happiness turned out to be so short, only 26 years old. And so long - as much as 26 years.

Natalia Krachkovskaya could not let anyone else into her life. Russian actor Konstantin Khabensky found the strength to live on after the death of his beloved.
