Elena Proklova refuses to live without her husband after the divorce. Elena Proklova: I had affairs with Mironov, Yankovsky and Tabakov, but my husband is better! Who is Elena Proklova's husband?

Her path to art began in early childhood, with the light hand of her grandfather, who brought the girl to the set. But it was not easy. On the path to fame, Elena Proklova was awaited not only by rose petals, but also by their thorns, envious people and ill-wishers. But she managed to cope with all the difficulties, overcame all the obstacles, and now she has achieved what she dreamed of - she is a successful actress and TV presenter, a happy wife and mother.

Fame came to Elena Proklova during her school years, when she starred in the film “They’re calling, open the door.” And after the release of the next three films with her participation, she was already known throughout the Soviet Union.

Childhood and youth

Elena Proklova is a Muscovite, it was in this city that she was born on September 2, 1953. Her dad's name was Igor Viktorovich, he worked as a teacher at the Lenin Military Academy. Mom Anna Mikhailovna was a teacher with a noble pedigree. My paternal grandparents belonged to the world of art - they were actors in the Moscow theater. After retirement, grandfather Viktor Timofeevich got a job at the Mosfilm film studio as an assistant director, and often took Lena with him to filming.

Almost all family friends were scientists or creative personalities. The Proklov family's dacha was in the same dacha village as the dachas of many famous artists, poets, writers. Therefore, people of art constantly came to visit them, and young girl I could spend hours listening to stories from the life of bohemians. It was incredibly interesting to her, but nothing more. As a child, she was completely indifferent to the stage; her dream was gymnastics. Lena asked her parents to take her to a sports school, to gymnastics. So, at the age of four, the girl found herself in the gym for the first time, and at 5 she was already taken to her first competition. When Proklova turned 11, she was already a master of sports.

Elena never boasted of her success in sports, did not try to show her superiority over other children, but still she was not loved in the class, especially by the girls.

Maybe the reason was not only her sporting success, but also the fact that she was a real beauty, whom all her classmates ran after, depriving other girls of attention. Proklova was often boycotted, they did not talk to her for a long time, and this was precisely the reason for the transition to home system training.

Proklova received a diploma from the Studio School in 1973, and she was immediately hired at the Moscow Art Theater. In the same year, she continued her collaboration with cinema.

Another serious hobby of Proklova was landscape design; she even studied at the institute in this specialty.

Personal life

The personal life of Elena Proklova is discussed today by her many fans. They didn’t even know what secrets the actress was hiding until she began to publicly talk about all her novels.

In January 2017, Proklova came to the program “Alone with Everyone,” hosted by. It was there that she first spoke about her first love for the actor and director, whom she met on the set of the film “Shine, Shine, My Star.” She was a very young sixteen-year-old girl, and he was already 33. The feelings were mutual, but their romance did not continue, because Tabakov had a wife and two small children.

Her first husband was director Vitaly Melik-Kerimov. She decided to get married in the hope that she would quickly forget Tabakov. They had a real wedding, with rings and a white dress. In this marriage, the first daughter of the actress Arina was born, but their family still broke up in 1975. The reason was that during these years Elena’s career was rapidly going up, and when it was necessary to choose either a career or a family, Proklova gave preference to work.

Years later, Proklova began having difficulties with her daughter. She couldn't find her mutual language, because the girl practically did not see her mother. Now the relationship between mother and daughter is normal, they are very friendly and trust each other with all their secrets.

After the divorce, Elena Proklova remained alone for only a short time. She was young, beautiful and very popular; she was always surrounded by famous men. In the 70s, during the filming of the film “Sentimental Romance”, she met with, whom the whole country already knew then. He could seduce any beauty, so he decided to hit on Proklova. But Elena initially coldly responded to his advances, which further provoked him and aroused interest in her person.

Soon the girl realized that she also fell in love with Yankovsky, especially since she was already divorced and could give her heart to the man she liked. When filming, which took place in Leningrad, ended, the entire cast went to Moscow by train. On the train, Elena's seat turned out to be in the same compartment as Oleg's, and the man managed to arrange everything so that no one else would be seated next to them. From that time their romance began, which lasted for a long time. Elena did not destroy the family of her loved one, although she became pregnant by him. The actress had an abortion and put an end to their relationship.

In the 80s, another famous man appeared in the actress’s personal life - actor Andrei Mironov. We met him on the set of the film “Be My Husband” and developed into a romance. At that time, the actor was married to, but she was far away, and nearby was young, beautiful and in love Elena. This novel had a very short period of time - the film crew was replenished with set designer Alexander Adamovich, who became Proklova’s new hobby.

And another novel became known to the audience from the words of the actress herself. In 1983, when she starred in the film “Be Happy, Julia!”, Elena met an actor who played one of the main roles. They almost immediately felt mutual love, which swirled the actress in a new novel. Maybe someone told the actor’s wife about the betrayal, or maybe the woman herself felt that something was happening with her husband, but a little time passed, and Volontir’s wife appeared on the set and threw a scandal at him. After Proklova, so many years later, brought this novel to the public, Mihai Volontir’s wife denied everything and accused the actress of deception.

Proklova also made her affair with another famous actor Igor Yankovsky public.

Elena Proklova did not intend to start serious relationship until Dr. Alexander Deryabin appeared in her life. Their feelings flared up from the first minute of their acquaintance, and soon the official registration of the marriage and a magnificent wedding took place. But this marriage soon broke up. Proklova gave birth to twin boys, who died in infancy. The woman could not come to terms with this tragedy for a long time; it took her almost a year and a half to somehow learn to cope and keep the situation under control. She left Alexander and settled with her brother.

In 1984, another man entered the actress’s life. His name was Andrei Trishin, he was a friend of her brother. The relationship developed very quickly, and a year later they became husband and wife. Soon Elena gave birth to a boy, who died seven days later. Elena fell into depression again, but with the help of her caring husband she overcame it. The family did not break up, and in 1994 their daughter Polina was born. In 1995 eldest daughter Arina's daughter Alisa was born, and Proklova became almost simultaneously both mother and grandmother.

In 2015, Elena Proklova filed for divorce, explaining this decision by saying that their relationship had exhausted itself. It was not easy for them with each other before, but in Lately her husband completely lost interest in her. Elena decided that age, or rather the age difference, was to blame for everything, because she older than spouse for eight years.

But after the divorce, their relationship not only did not go wrong, but rather grew stronger. The couple reconciled and moved to live in their country house.

Proklova is always in great shape, which constantly pleases her fans. They know that she is already over 60, and that she has been on the plastic surgeon’s table more than once, but they still like her appearance actress, her smartness and good mood.

Childhood is a dream

Lenochka Proklova was born on September 2, 1953 in Moscow into a large loving family. Parents - teachers, passionate about their work, were rarely at home. The girl spent time mainly with her maternal grandfather. He provided big influence to Lena.

By the way, relatives on the maternal side had noble roots, and among the ancestors on the father’s side there were actors. It turned out that with the light hand of her second grandfather, Moscow Art Theater actor Viktor Timofeevich Proklov, Elena chose the thorny acting path.

Elena Igorevna Proklova herself recalls with nostalgia the large communal apartment where she spent her happy Moscow childhood.

Child actress career

The first and immediately star role went to Elena, as often happens, by accident. Viktor Proklov at that time was working with a director who could not find a girl for the role of the main character Tanya in the film “They are calling, open the door.” By the time they met eleven-year-old Proklova, the film crew had already watched thousands of girls. According to some sources, the grandfather himself brought his granddaughter to the director. According to another version, Viktor Timofeevich, on the contrary, did not want the girl to have an acting destiny; she came to the screening by accident, as she often spent time with her grandfather at work. In any case, Lena was approved for the main role, which she coped brilliantly with. Lena Proklova was named best actress of 1965, and the film “They're Ringing, Open the Door” became a laureate at the Venice Film Festival.

In addition to her obvious acting talent, Lena was very pretty from childhood. She was ideal for the role of Gerda in Gennady Kazansky’s film adaptation of “The Snow Queen.” Gerda turned out to be romantic, angelically beautiful, but brave and selfless. After this role, real fame came to Lena Proklova. Having started acting at the age of eleven, Elena never stopped.

But the status of wife and mother did not change the actress’s usual lifestyle. Filming and the stage took up all her time. The daughter was raised by her grandparents.

Proklova’s husband was the doctor Alexander Deryabin, who cured and put her daughter back on her feet. Soon, tragedy befell the actress’s family: a few days after birth, her twin sons died. The family broke up.

Elena's third husband was businessman Andrei Trishin, who helped her cope with depression and return to life. But even in this marriage, Proklova lost her newborn child. Then Elena decided that the reason for such tragic losses was in her lifestyle. She left theater and cinema and finally devoted herself to her family.

Long years Proklova lived happily with her husband and daughter in country house, where landscape design became her hobby. All my friends considered this marriage ideal. But in 2015, unexpectedly for everyone, Elena announced a divorce from her husband. Perhaps this difficult decision was influenced by Proklova’s return to the public world of cinema and television.
