February 15 could have turned 78 years old Soviet theater and film actress, one of the first beauties of the 1960s. Nonna Terentyeva, but for 24 years she has not been among the living. After her appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, she was named overseas Soviet Marilyn Monroe. She had many admirers, but her beauty did not bring her happiness. One of the most coveted women in the USSR lost everyone she held dear, and her last years of life were like a bad dream …
Nonna Novosyadlova was born in 1942 in Baku, in the family of a military man and an actress. After the war, her father was transferred to Romania, then the family moved to Ukraine. In Kiev, Nonna graduated from high school and decided to follow in her mother's footsteps, enrolling in a theater institute. At the age of 20, she met a graduate student Boris Terentyev, in the future - an engineer who became her first love. But after a quarrel with him, she left Kiev and went to Moscow. She was not accepted at VGIK, but the girl managed to impress the admissions committee of the Shchukin school. Her classmates were Marianna Vertinskaya, Natalya Selezneva and Evgeny Steblov.
While still a student, she made her film debut in the films "Elena's Bay" and "The Slowest Train". And after 3 years she was offered the main roles in two films at once - the adaptation of A. Chekhov's story "Ionych" "In the city of S.". I. Kheifits and the film “Zhenya, Zhenechka and Katyusha” by V. Motyl. Choosing between the novice director Motyl and the already recognized Kheifits, Nonna chose the latter. In addition, she was very fond of Chekhov and had already shot in a short film based on his story "A Joke". It is not known how her creative destiny would have turned if the actress had chosen the film Motyl, which later became legendary, but the picture of Kheifits played a significant role in her life.
After the premiere, the 24-year-old actress was so popular that after classes at the Shchukin School, the girl had to run through the back door, because annoying fans crowded around the central one. The film "In the city of S." participated in the out-of-competition program of the Cannes Film Festival, and Nonna represented him abroad as part of the Soviet delegation. There, her beauty made such a splash that she was immediately dubbed in the press "Soviet Marilyn Monroe." After that, she received offers from foreign directors, but the actress was no longer released from the USSR.
Once at the theater, Nonnu was seen by the photographer Vasily Malyshev and offered to take her photographic portrait. In 1967, at the UNESCO exhibition in Paris, this work was awarded the first prize. After that, the photo was published in the US military newspaper Stars and Stripes, and the soldiers proclaimed the Soviet actress the most beautiful woman in the world.
Nonna was a flamboyant beauty, and she always had a lot of fans. One of them was the poet Igor Volgin, later a famous historian, literary critic, doctor of philological sciences. He courted beautifully, dedicated poetry to her. Later Volgin called their romance the most vivid feeling of his youth. However, this did not last long. Volgin recalled: "".
In 1967, Nonna married Boris Terentyev, the very young man whom she met in Kiev, took his last name, left the Stanislavsky Theater, where she managed to work for one season, and left for her husband's homeland. There she got a job at the Kiev Drama Theater. The couple had a daughter, Ksenia, but this marriage did not last long. For Nonna, creativity always remained in the first place, and her husband dreamed of home comfort and a strong family. After 4 years, the couple divorced, but they managed to maintain good relations for many years. Later Boris Terentyev said: "".
In 1971, Nonna Terentyeva began an affair with her theater colleague Vladimir Skomarovsky. Together with him, she returned to Moscow. In the same year, the two of them starred in the film "Illumination". However, this union was also not durable. After 7 years, Skomarovsky emigrated to the United States, promising to take Nonna with him later, they corresponded for a long time, but these promises were never fulfilled.
Nonna continued to perform on the theatrical stage, but in the cinema her career could not be called successful. The sensual beauty of the actress played a cruel joke on her: the directors saw her only in the role of the femme fatale vamp, while in the 1970s. in Soviet cinema, the type of "Komsomol member and sportswoman" became more popular. On the screens, Terentyeva appeared in the images of desperate adventurers, adventure seekers and frivolous beauties. This often led to the fact that she was identified with her heroines, although she herself was completely different behind the scenes.
The ex-husband of the actress Boris Terentyev said: "". And the poet Igor Volgin said: "".
She got only minor roles in the cinema, and in the 1980s. new proposals have ceased to arrive altogether. The actress toured the country with concerts, performing songs in English from the repertoire of Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington. Over the years, she did not have fewer fans, but Terentyev never married again. When one of her acquaintances asked her why she does not reciprocate any of the wealthy applicants who could contribute to the advancement of her film career, she replied: "".
In recent years, the actress learned that she was terminally ill - she had inoperable breast cancer. She did not even tell her relatives about this. When Nonna realized that she had only a few days left, she sent her daughter to Germany so that she would not see her suffering. On March 8, 1996, Nonna Terentyeva passed away. She was only 54 years old.
The poet Igor Volgin dedicated the following lines to her:
The role, which Nonna Terentyeva refused, brought fame to another actress: Behind the scenes of the film "Zhenya, Zhenya and Katyusha".
