Her film debut took place at the age of 16, her first kiss happened on the set, and the first role she made Galina Belyaeva All-Union famous actress - film "My Sweet and Tender Beast" enjoyed incredible popularity with the audience. And soon after that, she disappeared from the screens for a long time and found her vocation in something completely different, although she did not completely leave the cinema.
As a child, Galina Belyaeva did not dream of an acting career - she wanted to become a ballerina. When she saw ballet on TV, she could not tear herself away from the screen, and in kindergarten she immediately began to dance if she heard music. The teachers drew attention to her plasticity and musicality and advised her mother to send the girl to a choreographic studio. There was no such school in her hometown, and Belyaeva persuaded her mother to take her to the capital. And in Moscow, and in Leningrad, and in Perm the first time to enter did not work. Only on the 4th attempt did she manage to convince the admissions committee of the Voronezh school. At that time she was only 13 years old, but she was not afraid to leave one to another city.
Finding an actress for the main role in the film "My affectionate and gentle animal" for a long time did not work. Director Emil Loteanu wanted his heroine to be like Audrey Hepburn, Tatiana Samoilova and Lyudmila Savelyeva at the same time. His assistants were looking for one among the students of choreographic schools. When Loteanu saw a photograph of 16-year-old Galina Belyaeva, he realized that he had found what he was looking for. But the first tests were unsuccessful - an inexperienced shy girl was lost in front of the camera and did not know how to behave. But during the second screen test, Oleg Yankovsky helped his partner relax and loosen up, and she showed a good result.
Emil Loteanu said: "". So, unwittingly, Belyaeva became an actress.
After the release of the film, the young actress was inundated with new offers, but at that time she was not thinking about a career. During filming, she began an affair with a 40-year-old director, she became pregnant and was expecting a baby. When she turned 18, they got married. Her dress was similar to the one in which her heroine got married in the movie "My affectionate and gentle animal", and the same waltz played at the wedding. Loteanu was not only the first man with whom she began a relationship - he was her Pygmalion, who opened the way to the profession and taught her how to live. The actress still speaks of her first husband with warmth and gratitude. She named her son after her father Emil.
At 22, Galina Belyaeva starred in her husband's second film "Anna Pavlova". This film became her kind of farewell to her childhood dream of ballet and … farewell to Lotyanu. Critics smashed Anna Pavlova to smithereens, which became a serious test for both the director and the actress, which they could not stand. Family happiness was short-lived. When Belyaeva was 23 years old, she and Lotyan divorced. And a year later, she gave birth to a child again - from a civil husband, with whom she also soon broke up. At the age of 25, the actress was left alone with two children, without her own home, without a livelihood and virtually without work - during this time the directors forgot about her.
Once on the street Galina Belyaeva was stopped by a young man. He did not recognize a famous actress in her - she just aroused sympathy in him. The acquaintance grew into a romance, and after 4 months they got married. Belyaeva was not frightened by the fact that her chosen one was 5 years younger than her, and at that time he did not have a penny to his heart. And he was not frightened by the fact that his wife already had two children. The former student opened a book publishing house that quickly became successful. Soon he could already support his large family. In this marriage, two more children were born. With Sergei Doichenko, the actress is married to this day.
Many actresses believe that children ruin their careers, because due to pregnancy and childbirth, they have to leave the profession for a long time. And those who “fall out of the cage” are no longer offered roles. Galina Belyaeva was not afraid to lose popularity and made her choice in favor of family and children. Because of this, there were long pauses in her career. Even in the theater, she took a vacation and went on maternity leave for 3 years - she believed that raising children should be done independently. Belyaeva did not hesitate to refuse roles and never regretted it. And now she says that her four children are the best thing that happened in her life. Children have become the raison d'être of her existence and her greatest love.
Galina Belyaeva gives the impression of a fragile and defenseless woman, although all her friends say that in fact she is a whole, strong-willed and very strong person. She does not know what depression is, as she has never allowed herself to become discouraged and feel sorry for herself. Belyaeva says: ""
In 2004 she returned to the cinema. However, in addition to cinema and theater, she has many hobbies - the actress is engaged in drawing and horse riding, she graduated from extreme car driving courses. Thanks to her energy and love of life, she feels great and looks great at the age of 57.
