♥ღ♥Nikolai Rybnikov and Alla Larionova: unknown facts about the famous acting family♥ღ♥. Nikolai Rybnikov: biography, personal life, children Nikolai Larin is a friend of Alla Larionova

The popularity of Nikolai Rybnikov came in the 50s, when the directors vied with each other to invite him to star in the lead roles.

Many viewers still remember the sweet smile and dimples on the cheeks of the artist, as well as his sincere and charming characters, such as:

• Fedor Soloveykov from "Alien Relatives";
• Sasha Savchenko from "Spring on Zarechnaya Street";
• Nikolai Pasechnik from "Vysota";
• Ilya Kovrigin from "Girls".

However, after a few years, the demand for the actor began to wane, and he began to receive only minor roles. Perhaps due to lack of demand in his profession, Rybnikov went into depression, and in 1990 he had heart attack from which he died. But Nikolai Nikolaevich was not only adored by his fans, in his personal life there was also a beloved family - his wife and children.

Unrequited love

The actor was in love with his future wife, Alla Larionova, with whom he studied at VGIK. The beauty was surrounded by a crowd of fans, so the young man had no chance of becoming a lover. He did not notice other girls and was always next to Alla, remaining her close friend. The young actress became in demand with directors immediately after her student days. While starring in the film "Sadko", she met a colleague on the set - Ivan Pereverzev. A few years later, the actors began to meet, and soon the beauty realized that she was expecting a baby. However, at that time Pereverzev had an affair not only with her, but also with another actress, who also turned out to be pregnant.

When Alla Dmitrievna accidentally found out that her lover secretly signed with her rival, she told her brother's wife about this, who immediately informed Rybnikov about the separation of the actress from her lover.

He then starred in the film "Height", however, this did not stop the actor, who flew to Minsk to propose to Alla. Realizing that only Nikolai truly loves her, she agreed.

January 2, 1957 was also celebrated New Year, so the registry office was closed, but the newly-made groom managed to find the employees of the institution and agree with them on their registration on that day. Thanks to his popularity and charm, he was able to do this easily. The actor has already returned to the shooting of "Heights" as a married man.

Beloved wife of Nikolai Rybnikov

In the same year, the wife of Nikolai Nikolaevich gave birth to a daughter, who was named Alena. He accepted the baby as his own and that's it. free time spent with her and his beloved wife. The girl's father did not ask who was born to him and did not even appear in her life. In 1961, their common daughter Arina was born, however, the actor did not distinguish between daughters and loved them equally. He finally found what he had been waiting for so long, so he was almost never separated from his wife, whom he affectionately called Lapusey.

Rybnikov turned out to be an economic husband who, since autumn, had been pickling tomatoes and watermelons in barrels, and also buying all the products and could easily cook lunch or dinner. His wife was a very good cook, especially cutlets and caviar from dried mushrooms. The couple were hospitable and hospitable people, so they often gathered colleagues and friends, among whom were famous singers, astronauts, athletes and poets. Thanks to the actor's special love for chess, many Soviet grandmasters visited their house. Not only at home, but also in the workplace star spouses strived to be punctual and responsible, never conflicting with their colleagues.

Many of their friends noted Alla Dmitrievna's good sense of humor, but Nikolai Nikolaevich could not boast of this. But when the actor went on stage and demonstrated his talent and charisma, his wife did not take her enthusiastic eyes off him.

The beautiful wife has always been at the center of any company where she had enough fans, however, Rybnikov tolerated this and did not make scandals for her, as he was afraid that she would leave him. Throughout his family life, he loved Larionova and took care of her and the children. Their marriage lasted 33 years, until the death of the legendary artist.

The fate of daughters

It seemed to many friends that Nikolai Nikolaevich loved his wife's daughter more than their joint one, but the actor himself said that both daughters were dear to him. When the spouses were actively engaged in a career, their grandmother, the mother of the actress, was engaged in raising the girls. Daughters did not like studying at school and did not show interest in the acting profession.

Eldest daughter After graduation, she did not even know where to go to study. Larionova advised her to enter VGIK, but her friend got the girl on television, where she began to study the profession of an editor. Soon Alena settled in an apartment that was located near Ostankino.

She became a good worker and professional in her field, having worked in television for about 35 years. Rybnikov's eldest daughter got married, but no children were born in the marriage. A woman suffers from psoriasis all her life, so every year she rests in Thailand, where she feels much better.

But at common daughter spouses fate was tragic. In her youth, she was educated at a printing college, but she hardly worked by profession, as she was addicted to alcohol. She lived with her parents, and when Nikolai Nikolayevich died, feasts began to take place in the house. Arina brought a guy to the house with whom she led a wild life. Soon, Alla Dmitrievna changed her apartment, and her daughter settled in another area. At that time, the actress herself did not have big earnings, besides, she began to have heart problems.

(Larionova outlived her husband by 10 years, one year before her 70th birthday. In 2000, she had a massive heart attack, and she soon died. She was buried next to her husband, at the Troekurovsky cemetery. And four years later, her youngest daughter also died , which is up to last day didn't stop drinking.

This amazing actor would have turned 80 today.

This amazing actor would have turned 80 today.

The wonderful Russian actor Nikolai RYBNIKOV has always played real men - brave, honest, faithful in love. This is exactly what the artist himself was like in life. Perhaps that is why the audience so believed in his heroes from films that have become cult - "Girls", "Spring on Zarechnaya Street", "Height" ... All his life, Rybnikov loved one woman - Alla LARIONOVA, although the path to their joint family happiness was thorny. On December 13, Nikolai Nikolayevich would have turned 80 years old.

Summer 1948. In a small stuffy auditorium VGIK Sergei Gerasimov And Tamara Makarova are gaining new course future stars of the then Soviet screen. Tamara Feodorovna, "The Mistress of the Copper Mountain", gazes intently at the funny girl with chubby cheeks and unruly hair. From excitement, a blush appears on the applicant's cheeks, and her hair falls over her shoulders.

Sergey Apollinarievich, - bending over to her husband, whispers Makarova, - look what a funny little girl. Let's take her.

Yes, you take a closer look at what a big nose she has ... And her lips ... She is ugly and not photogenic, - the master had his own concept of beauty. The wound from late love was still fresh in my memory. He fell in love with his student - tall, stately, with a scythe to the waist.

Yes, you pay attention to your eyes, pay attention to your eyes, - the quiet Tamara Makarova knew how to persuade her husband. Usually he listened to her opinion. But this time he changed his rules.

A girl with cornflower blue eyes was crying in the corridor of the institute.

Sergei Apollinarievich, - the door to the audience was thrown open and a thin figure of a funny boy from Borisoglebsk loomed near the table.

You are enrolled in the course, - the master interrupted him immediately, - do you have something else?

I have a male conversation for you. Please take my place Allochka Larionova and I will visit you next time.

Yes, I love her. Although, what can you understand in love? - he waved his hand, turned, went to the doors of the auditorium.

This boy's name was Kolya Rybnikov.

Because of Alla they pulled out of the loop

…-Are you out of your mind? – thundered a few months later in the audience the voice of the master. - Hang yourself because of a woman ...

The story of how VGIK student Nikolai Rybnikov was literally pulled out of the noose reached the ears of Sergei Gerasimov.

Are you a man or what? What do you know about love. To whom would you prove this? We just laughed, that's all. Hanging up is the easiest. This is the lot of sluts. But you are a strong man. Beautiful. All the students are dying for you, and you, because of some kind of toad, wanted to deprive yourself of your life ...

She is not a toad, - Rybnikov's lips trembled. - She is a beauty. Just love someone else.

The male conversation was long. Rybnikov left the master as a completely different person. “Women need to be able to win,” the master’s order sounded in his ears.

And Rybnikov went on the attack. From that moment on, anyone who dared to speak ill of his beloved woman dealt with him.

Knew he loved someone else

Once a classmate, a roommate in the hostel, began to talk about his walks (and not only) with the same girl with cornflower blue eyes.

Well, why are you suffering, if you want, I'll give it to you, - a classmate obviously mocked the purest and brightest feeling. - Take...

He didn't get to finish. Swipe Rybnikova knocked him off his feet. The fight was not for life, but for death. They were separated by half of the hostel. Rybnikov's broken finger remained incorrectly fused for the rest of his life.

He knew everything. That she loves someone else. That chuckles in the depths of his soul at his knightly patronage. Knew. But he couldn't help himself. Because he loved. Up to madness.

For several years, wherever Larionova was - abroad or in the Siberian wilderness, telegrams from Rybnikov were waiting for her. "I love. I drink your health. Your Kolya. She only smiled. And I caught myself thinking that knightly patronage no longer causes laughter. Moreover, it is precisely this patronage that she lacks. Yes, there were novels, there were men - in her youth she loved that a man was over years ten to fifteen. She calmly accepted courtship, easily turned heads, allowed herself to be loved. And she, as it then seemed to her, loved another. He was always waiting for her in Moscow. And it was by no means Rybnikov.

And Nikolai? ... And he became her shadow.

Already the film “Sadko” won a prize at the Venice Film Festival, the sleigh was already taking Chekhov’s Anna into the unknown, Gerard Philip was already bowing before her, and Charlie Chaplin invited him to his paintings ... And Rybnikov simply idolized her. Well, women love it.

"This will be my baby"

She will appreciate the nobility of Rybnikov very soon. On one of the shooting days, she felt somehow uneasy. Maybe she was tired, or just tired. Went to the doctor. And after the doctor immediately to the beloved man with good news. She will have a child. And for some reason, the beloved man was in no hurry to share this joy with her. "Let's be friends," he said goodbye to her.

She left for Minsk to shoot. It was the end of 1956 outside, people were preparing for the New Year's Eve, which is also for an abortion. She could not imagine her life otherwise. Alone, without a husband, with a child. But what about cinema?

Sad reflections were interrupted by a knock on the door of the hotel room. Rybnikov stood on the threshold. He came to her on the set to celebrate the New Year together. "Alena, marry me." She refused for a long time, he tried to understand the reason. After all, there, he heard, it was all over.

She burst into tears. Through tears, she tried to explain that she could not be his wife, because there were already men before him. “So what,” Rybnikov repeated.

"Why do you need me like this ... Pregnant from another" - it seemed to her that now her heart would stop.

“This child will be mine,” he said as he snapped. "Think what you want, but I won't let you have an abortion."

Rybnikov saved me from myself terrible sin In this life. How he saved from shame, - Larionova will say this shortly before her death.

And then she had already managed to be disappointed in men, did not believe any of them, just as she did not believe Rybnikov at first.

Rybnikov understood everything. For some reason, he was sure that over time she would melt and believe that he simply loved her. And that's it.

They have always complemented each other.

They signed in one of the registry offices of Minsk, on the second day after the New Year 1957. Rybnikov was in no hurry to celebrate his victory over the other men. I felt that Alla seemed to be waiting for something. And already the sleigh appeared near the doors of the registry office - the very ones from the film, about Anna, who is around her neck, taking away his beloved wife. He felt that she was still in love with that boy, the father of her child. As he also knew that if he now appeared near the registry office, she would follow him. Throwing Rybnikov.

He knew that time heals. Therefore, he did not put pressure on his wife. Just loved her.

He left for the shooting of "Heights". In the same place, one of the friends will sympathize: they say, why do you need this, a beautiful wife - this is a neck collar and a complete headache. And Rybnikov only chuckles:

Usually in a family, the husband is the head, and the wife is the neck. And we are different. Alena is the head, and I am her neck. And there is nothing against the fact that Alenina's head is on my neck, I personally do not mind. And let's end this conversation.

Looking ahead, I must say that all thirty-three years of their love was like that. Their personalities complemented each other very well. Rybnikov was an enthusiastic person. Larionov - rational. He loved hockey and disappeared in the stadiums, she preferred to watch hockey on TV. Rybnikov was obsessed with chess, Larionova was more than cool towards them. Rybnikov was insanely jealous of Larionov, but she managed to make sure that her husband's jealousy did not become a problem in their family life.

And from the moment of their modest wedding, even the closest friends did not start talking about who is the head and who is the neck. In the views there was only one thing - admiration for the nobility of Rybnikov. How, years later, these same friends, but already aged and gray-haired, will admire the power of his love. What can I say - the acting world is very peculiar, and there are their own customs. In the sense that crowds of fans, young artists ... And all this on expeditions, on tour, away from their own wives. Everyone knew that Rybnikov had only one Woman - the first and only. His beloved Allochka. They admired the way he defends the honor of his wife. The fights remained in their youth. Now Rybnikov acts differently - a person who at least once spoke badly about his wife no longer crossed the threshold of their house.

The past crossed out once and for all

But there were a lot of tales about her. And baths with champagne, which she allegedly took, a bunch of lovers, including the Minister of Culture of that time Alexandrov, and the old man Vertinsky, whom she met on the set of the film "Anna on the Neck."

When the eldest daughter was born, a bell rang in the apartment of Rybnikov and Larionova. The messenger brought a huge basket of white lilacs. And in the basket is a note from Vertinsky: “Dear Allochka! I am so happy that you have a daughter. Be sure to christen her. I will be happy to be her godfather.”

Rybnikov turned white after reading the note. Larionova reassured: “Well, who are you jealous of? Are you jealous of an old man? How could he explain to his wife that this is a completely different jealousy and it is not connected with physical betrayal at all. There is betrayal worse than physical. Spiritual. He didn’t explain anything, he just grumbled all evening to himself under his breath: “I will baptize him, I will baptize him.”

People close to this house also admired the fact that Rybnikov never once reminded his wife of the past in all thirty-three years of their life. Not about a big-nosed classmate who, years later, would publish his alleged love story with Larionova in one of the Moscow newspapers, or about famous actor Ivan Pereverzev, who was in love with the young Larionova.

Rybnikov under no circumstances remembered the past. Yes, he was jealous of his beautiful wife, sometimes completely groundless, he understood that it was stupid. But he couldn't help himself. But he was jealous of her for the present. And the past seemed to cross out once and for all in his memory. And started family life from a white blank sheet of paper. He was proud to be monogamous. His life formula was very simple: "Beloved woman, favorite home, favorite job." In addition to his Alena, he did not perceive other women. He quite sincerely believed that his wife was better and more beautiful than all the then world movie stars. He was very bored if they did not see each other for a long time. And at the first opportunity he rushed to meet her and his daughters.

"Kolka, you are our saint"

Once Alla Larionova and Mikhail Zharov were filming in late autumn on the banks of the Moskva River in Serebryany Bor. The cold was terrible. When they finally announced a break in filming, Zharov pointed to the opposite bank of the Moskva River: “What kind of fool is standing there” and Larionova saw the lonely figure of a man in a light raincoat. “This is my Rybnikov,” Larionova threw up her hands. He flew in from filming in Odessa, and without stopping home he rushed to the shooting to his wife.

He adored his wife. He also adored his beloved daughters Alena and Arisha. And quite sincerely I did not understand the peasants who, at the first opportunity, go "to the left."

“Kolka, you really are a saint with us,” close friends joked.

And he really could not understand why cheat on a woman if you love her. Why trivialize a bright and pure feeling, called very simply - love. Why turn your head in different directions if there is such a beauty at home as his wife. He was very afraid of losing her. He was afraid that they would be taken away, he was ready to tear apart any "well-wisher" who, in Once again gossip about his wife's affair with someone. But never in all of them life together did not demand an explanation from his wife, did not sink to the level of “it was - it was not”, he could not humiliate Larionova by sorting out the relationship. He remembered the words of Sergei Gerasimov: “Real men beat the offender in the face, but they don’t insult a woman with suspicion.”

And the fact that men went crazy over her - it's quite natural. She is a famous actress, and God did not offend her with her beauty. Somehow she will say: “This must be treated correctly. Not as a matter of course, but as a gift to be cherished. Nobody on earth owes anything to anyone. All good things come from God, and only stupid things come from our own.” Therefore, only for Rybnikov she was a naive and lively, beloved and loving Alla, and for all other men she was a chic and cold, completely inaccessible woman.

She, knowing that “well-wishers” call her “Alla on the neck” behind her eyes, once complained to her husband, he only laughed: “Do I mind this?”

“There are four women at home, and I have to do everything!”

Their love was admired, envied, someone hissed behind their backs, “it doesn’t happen like that.” It happens and how. Together they "built" themselves a beautiful five-room cooperative apartment. They got into debt, then gave it back for several years. They went to shoot in different parts of the then vast Soviet Union, did not like to part for a long time, the forced separation was explained by the fact that “they don’t understand how people can be together all the time. And they wake up together, and have breakfast together, and rest together. Here you can also use a frying pan on the head. They were cunning. Because they were good together.

What Larionova did not like to do, Rybnikov loved to do and vice versa. He gladly took on all the problems associated with the house, life. When they were both on expeditions, on the set, Alla Larionova's mother came to the rescue, who ran the household, raised Alena and Arishka. When Rybnikov appeared in the house, everyone gave him a seat at the stove with great pleasure. He was an excellent cook. Cooked, as Larionova said, not from books, but from the heart. Roasted, steamed, salted, marinated. He liked to joke: “There are four women at home, a dog and that bitch, but I have to do everything.” I did it with great pleasure.

Every year there were less and less friends who came to their house. Years, illnesses… But they tried not to break the traditions of big holidays. We celebrated the wedding day, birthdays, gathered for the New Year, for November ...

In the summer of 1990, Rybnikov was pickling tomatoes with great pleasure. "We'll crash on my sixtieth birthday, and what's left, we'll eat on New Year's Day."

Tomatoes were eaten at his wake. Autumn 1990.

Alla Larionova outlived her husband by 10 years

Alla Larionova will outlive her husband by ten years. She will exchange their beautiful apartment, because "every corner reminds of Rybnikov", she will seek salvation in work. In 1992, he will appear on stage together with Vakhtangov artists in the play "Money, deceit and love." After the death of her husband, she will bury her mother, undergo a difficult operation. Returning from the tour, he will feel bad on the plane. They will put it in the aisle (the seats are crowded), they will start pumping it out. Actress Valentina Titova, leaning over her, will say: "Alla, let me take off my wig, it will be easier to breathe." " Never! To die, so in a wig.

Baptized in Jerusalem. “It is never too late to come to God. Although, this ascent is difficult, especially for us actors, ”she said in one of her interviews.

For a long time she could not raise money to erect a monument to her Rybnikov on the grave. She suffered a lot from this. And she was sincerely delighted when completely strangers helped her with money.

After the death of Nikolai Rybnikov, she will no longer marry. Although there will be plenty of fans and contenders for her hand and heart. But all of them will seem only faded reproductions of her Rybnikov. Over the years, by her own admission, she gave as many interviews as she had not given in her entire life. Shortly before her death, she started repairs in the apartment. And in between tours she helped the workers. She was in a hurry to make this repair.

She will die on Holy Week April 25, 2000. She will die quietly in her sleep, just like her Rybnikov died almost ten years ago. There will be notes pinned to the refrigerator with a magnet, written by her hand - what needs to be done, where to go, when to take medicine. She'll be curled up on the bed, the answering machine on her home phone still telling everyone who calls her to call back later or leave information. She will be buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery. Next to Nikolai Rybnikov.

“Everyone knew that Rybnikov was dying for Larionova, but he had no chance. He remained just a friend for her, and Allochka preferred to meet with others. When she became pregnant from the actor Ivan Pereverzev, it seemed that now there was definitely no place for Rybnikov in Alla's life, ”says producer Svetlana Pavlova, a friend of Larionova.

Alena - the daughter of Alla and Kolya - after school and failure in the entrance exams at VGIK had to be attached to work. She was not a very assiduous girl: in order to give her a certificate at school, her parents had to give a concert for teachers. I remember that on the eve of Rybnikov and Larionova they were so worried, as if they were to perform at the Kremlin Palace of Congresses. And so I got Alena on television, as an assembler. The bad thing was that among her new colleagues there were people who knew too well the secret of Alena's birth. What she didn't own daughter Kolya Rybnikova, and her real father is actor Ivan Pereverzev. And so that she would not hear this truth from strangers, I, with the permission of Alla and Kolya, decided to tell her everything myself. I kept thinking about how to do it, I was tormented, I was choosing words ... And she answered: “Aunt Light, this doesn’t change anything. I have one dad."

Kolya sought Alla for six years, since their studies at VGIK. Both at the institute and later, everyone knew that Rybnikov was dying for Larionova, but he had no chance. He remained just a friend for her, and Allochka preferred to meet with others. Pretty early, she began acting - even when she was a student, Ptushko invited her to leading role in the film "Sadko". Actor Ivan Pereverzev played in the same film - there he and Alla met. A few years later, an affair began between the artists, Larionova became pregnant. It seemed that now there was definitely no place for Rybnikov in Alla's life. Only now Pereverzev was in no hurry to marry a pregnant girlfriend. As it turned out later, he then rushed between two women - Alla and the actress of the Theater of Satire Kira Kanaeva, who was also expecting a child from him. The denouement of this story came in Minsk, on the set of the film "Polesskaya Legend", where Larionova starred with Pereverzev.

Ivan told her about some urgent business in Moscow and flew away. Came back a few days later. Alla later said: “I took the jacket thrown by Vanka from the chair, hung it in the closet. She took out her passport from her pocket. Before putting it in the nightstand, I automatically flipped through, and there was a fresh stamp about marriage. It turns out that this is why Vanka broke into Moscow - to get married. Alla, without saying a word, packed her things and left for another room. She called her brother's wife Valya, with whom she was friendly, and cried to her. And Valya immediately dialed Rybnikova: “Kol, it’s all over with Pereverzev!” Kolya did not have to ask or call! He then starred in Vysota, but gave up everything and flew on the very first flight to Alla in Minsk to make an offer.

Luckily for him, she agreed. It was January 2, 1957 holidays, none of the institutions are operational. But Kolya was resolute, he managed to agree with someone to open a registry office, and they were painted with a deeply pregnant Alla. By that time, the film “Spring on Zarechnaya Street” was released, Rybnikov became famous throughout Soviet Union and could not refuse him. And two days later, Kolya had already returned to Moscow to shoot "Heights".

In February, Alla gave birth to Alena. What they said behind their backs did not bother Rybnikov and Larionov. Pereverzev was deleted from their lives: as they say, cut off and forgotten. He himself also did not appear, he never tried to explain himself to Alla, to see Alena. When he was no longer in the world, some anniversary of Pereverzev was celebrated, and his grandson invited Alena - she refused.

She really only had one dad. And Kolya loved Alena as if he were his own, to the point of self-forgetfulness, he did not make any difference between her and their common daughter with Alla, Arisha.

I met Alla and Kolya in the Crimea in the summer of 1968 - on the set of the film "Kolka Pavlyukov's Long Day". Rybnikov was approved for the main role. “Can Alla Larionova be my partner? Kolya asked. “And I would like to take the girls with me so that the whole family can relax at the same time.” Of course, we did our best for them, arranged them in a house on the shore. Hosts are hospitable southern people, were happy that they had their favorite actors settled. In the cinema, Alla often played cold beauties, but in life she was sociable, cheerful, groovy.

And I am the same. Alla and I were so similar that Mikhail Zhvanetsky once asked: “Are you sisters?” Allochka laughed: “Yes, we are twins!” In general, they returned to Moscow from the filming no longer spill water. I remember how we were waiting for departure at Simferopol airport. Director Kostya Bromberg bought new shoes and threw away the old ones. Alla saw and said: “Let's play him!” We picked up Kostya's shoes with her, packed them and tied them with a ribbon. And we went to a restaurant, where our whole group went while waiting for the plane. There, Alla called the waiter, handed him a bundle with boots: “Please pass it on to the person at that table.” Bromberg received the present, unwrapped it, and his eyes widened. He looks around and doesn't understand anything. Then we look, he went to the lobby and there he sent the shoes to the trash can. Alla and I are there.

They took it out, packed it again and went to land. Let's fly. Alla calls the stewardess: "Please pass this to the passenger in the next row." This time Kostya was literally furious. After that, Alla and I took pity on him and ended our prank. But Alla said: “They stopped in vain. It was necessary to send these shoes to Bromberg in Moscow by parcel. Larionova had a good sense of humor, which I cannot say about Rybnikov. Kolya couldn't even tell a joke, you listen to him and think: what's the point? Alla could not stand it: “Kohl, well, it’s not like that, again you mixed everything up, let me tell you myself!” But at the same time, how Kolya lit up on stage! Out of nowhere, he immediately had such charisma! This smile of his, these dimples on his cheeks ... Once Alla and I stood backstage during Kolya's number, and you should have seen what eyes she looked at him when he sang a song from "Vysota", just all shone.

But as soon as Kolya left the stage - that's it, it was already a different person, in himself. And how much I was friends with them, I never saw him play the guitar or sing at home. At our merry gatherings, I remember, he will sit at the table for an hour or two and get bored. He says to Allochka: "Lapusya, I went home." True, when guests gathered at their place, Kolya himself sculpted dumplings for them, treated them to his signature salted tomatoes and watermelons. And Alla had her signature dishes: cutlets, mushroom caviar and borscht. I remember how she called me and was surprised: “Imagine, in the morning I cooked a whole pot of borscht, and there was nothing left - then one would come, then another.” In their hospitable house, the doors were not closed.

At first, Alla and Kolya lived in a “three-ruble note” near the Aeroport metro station, and then they bought two neighboring apartments in a new cooperative house in Maryina Roshcha, and it turned out as many as five rooms.

Combined two small kitchens into one, spacious. And in the living room they made a real fireplace - they made their dream come true. Not far from their house there was a cinema "Tajikistan" - in this building now "Satyricon". With him - katochek. And when I came to visit them, I took Arisha to skate ... We always tried to spend holidays together. Once in the summer we had a rest in Pitsunda, in the House of Creativity of the Union of Cinematographers. Nonna Mordyukova went with us with her sister Natasha, who was a costume designer in several of my paintings, I appreciated her very much. Kolya is in his repertoire, it seems to be with us, but on his own. We come to the beach, he puts his sunbed on the sidelines, puts on his glasses, takes out a newspaper - and that's it, he's gone.

Someone from the outside will look at them with Alla and think: have they parted?

I remember that Alla once ended up in the hospital with a broken collarbone - she fell unsuccessfully on stage. And who just did not come to visit her: Nonna Mordyukova, and Natasha Fateeva, and Nadezhda Rumyantseva. Only Kolya - not in any. He said: “I don’t want everyone there to stare at me!” Alla asked: “Light, tell him to come. How much I lie, I only hear: “your husband, your husband.” And he doesn't show his nose. Somehow uncomfortable! It's like he doesn't care about me." But I knew that Kolya could not find a place for himself without Alla at home. He calls me almost every hour and complains about how sad he is without a “lapus”. But to become the subject of general curiosity anywhere but on the set or stage was too painful for him. Such a character is quite unusual for an actor.

And then, in Pitsunda, after dinner, Kolya immediately went to his room.

And we chatted until midnight. Nonka will start telling jokes with stories! Terribly funny, she told how she received the Stalin Prize: for the first time in her life, she had decent money, so she bought gifts and went to her village with a full suitcase. In the faces she depicted a meeting with relatives, we laughed until we lost our pulse.

Once I went to the telegraph office to call my husband Vita. He was about to join us as soon as he finished the picture in Moscow (he was the sound engineer). The husband says: “That's it, meet tomorrow!” Satisfied, I return to the hotel to my people, and they sit gloomier than clouds. Alla takes me aside: “While you were gone, Kolya and Nonna quarreled to the nines.

He took a sunbed for himself, but she did not. Well, she and come on: oh, you are so-and-so. And she said to me, they say, your Kolya ... I told her: “Non, what have I got to do with it? Kolya will never bring me a sunbed if I'm with a company. When there are a lot of people - he immediately aside! But she did not listen, and now she is also in conflict with me. ” The next day my husband arrives and instead of the picture of general fun that I painted for him the day before, he sees something completely different: everyone is sitting silently in the dining room, puffed up. Of the entire company, only Kolya did not lose his appetite. He, as always, the first two, the second three ... For three days everyone played silent - I thought we would go crazy. But then they somehow reconciled. Further - again incident. Alexei Batalov arrived with his wife and daughter. And then a violent storm began. None of the vacationers dared to climb into the water, only the niece of Sergei Gerasimov.

She swam far enough. Batalov got excited, rushed to save her, and my husband followed him. While they were helping the girl, Lesha was hit hard by a wave about something, half of his face was torn off. “Well, can you imagine,” Batalov complained, “the doctor forbade a week to appear in the sun until he heals. And I just came for a week. Instead of rest, now ointments and compresses. On the way back to Moscow, our flight was delayed. Kolya immediately separated from everyone at the airport and generally disappeared somewhere. Then he appears: “So, let's go to a restaurant, I agreed with the cook, he is already making dumplings, now we are all going to eat.” It turns out, the only reason to be in a large company that Kolya recognized were dumplings. Well, Rybnikov respected this occupation - to eat!

But Alla from time to time had to limit herself to food because of her tendency to be overweight. Larionova had her famous diet: the first day - dry white wine, the second - cheese, the third - boiled chicken, the fourth - an egg without salt ... At one time, Alla was friends with Lyusya Gurchenko and said about her: “It’s good for a person, she can eat a hundred cakes, five second - and still be as thin, but I'm not! Always watched the figure, always dressed fashionably.

Then fashionistas had to either sew for themselves - and Alla, by the way, had a dressmaker - or pay exorbitant prices. But Larionova had other, special opportunities. He and Rybnikov traveled all over the Soviet Union, performed before showing their films, and after the performance, the local authorities took their favorite artists to the bins - to special warehouses with imported clothes.

If this happened in Moscow, Alla and Kolya would take me with them to dress up. Everything then had to be obtained by pull. And we helped each other in this, whoever could. Rybnikov was friends with one person, Oleg Chertov. That's how I was Alla's girlfriend, and if anything, some family troubles - Alla first called me, and Kolya had this Damn. He was in charge of the section in the Carpets store. So all the actors of the Soviet cinema, starting with Vyacheslav Tikhonov, had carpets from this store.

Alla's mother once worked as a supply manager in kindergarten. But at the time when I met her, Valentina Alekseevna had already retired. And she helped her daughter with the housework - Alla did not like to deal with everyday life. Except by design. She could decorate some kind of stool: she cut flowers out of cloth or oilcloth and pasted them over.

It turned out unusual and beautiful. But Kolya washed them mostly. I remember that I would come to them, and Rybnikov would boil the laundry in the kitchen: “Ah, come in, come in, my joy ... You see, I have laundry here.” Well, rubbing, washing, scrubbing - that was all left for Valentina Alekseevna. However, she was a woman of character. And Alla sometimes got it from her. For example, for Mordyukov. Nonna, as she will divorce her next husband, immediately to Allochka, since the apartment has five rooms, there is where to settle down. And she walked barefoot there - she is as simple as in her films. And Valentina Alekseevna is unhappy. What a hostel, they say, staged again.

Then Valentina Alekseevna broke her femoral neck and took to her bed. And it's time for the children to look after her in turn.

I remember that Alla went on tour, and Kolya stayed - to carry ducks for his mother-in-law. And he refused all offers: I, they say, have a grandmother - he called her so lovingly. How can I leave my grandma? But nothing, he didn't complain. For the sake of Alla, he was not capable of such a thing!

I remember we filmed the film "And again Aniskin" near Kalinin (now it is Tver). Alla came to visit me, and the director persuaded her to star in the episode. Another would say: “Are you out of your mind? What episode? After all, she was a star, her fans in Tashkent once raised her in their arms along with the car. But Larionova is nothing, and she could act in the episode, and in the extras. She liked it there, near Tver. The places are beautiful, there are pine trees all around, we have a separate house. Only here Kolya quickly became homesick in Moscow: they say, I’m snuggle there, I’m here, I’ll go to the slut. He drove his Zhiguli so hard that he overturned.

We didn’t know about anything: we were sitting with Alla, drinking tea, then there was a knock on the door, on the threshold of the police: “Nikolai Nikolayevich had an accident.” They brought Kolya with a broken rib, he is lying, breathing with difficulty, but he refuses to go to the hospital. Allah is in tears. I say: “Kolya, if you love her so much that you couldn’t wait in Moscow, then why are you making her suffer? Look how she's going through." It was then that he agreed to the hospital. We took him to a good, regional committee. There Rybnikov, of course, was welcomed with open arms, put in a separate ward. And yet he left after three days. Because doctors from all departments came to see him.

Alla was one of the most beautiful artists in the country. Of course, many fell in love with her. And she herself sometimes got carried away, she had novels.

As Mordyukova said - for the sparkle of the eyes. And of course, Kolya knew about it. Once we agreed with a large company to celebrate the New Year in the House of Creativity in Bolshevo. And now it's time to go there, but Alla is still gone and gone. Valentina Alekseevna calls me: “Listen, do you know where she is?” Well, I know, she even left me a number. I'm typing: "All, I'm already all twisted!" - “Well, wait a little more. Or better, go to Bolshevo - I will come there later. Barely persuaded Kolya to go without her. And Alla appeared only a day later. I remember that my husband and I go out into the corridor by noon, Kolya wanders lonely there: “Guys, do you know what room I live in? I went out for a minute, on the way I met Bondarchuk, he invited me to his place. Now I can't remember where to go." Just figured out the number, Alla drove up. Kolya diligently pretends that nothing happened.

In the evening we again have a party, a pillar of dust. Bondarchuk came. In fact, they had their own company with Skobtseva - Volodina, Talankin, but Sergei Fedorovich often broke away from them. I remember that Alla was worried: “Sergey Fedorovich, Ira will go crazy there now, where have you gone!” But apparently we had more fun. Only Kolya, as always, at ten in the evening: "Lapusya, I went to bed."

Of course, he was jealous of Alla, and sometimes fell into anger. But what could he do? He knew that he would not be able to live or breathe without his “lapus”. But somehow Alla once again disappeared, and even though she is my friend, I decided to help Kolya teach her a lesson. I say: “Kol, let’s live with Nelka for a while! She is an economic woman, and she will shelter you and feed you. You will sit with her for three days - and you will return home as if nothing had happened.

Then let's see what Allah has to say." Nelka worked as a make-up artist, lived alone in an apartment near the Belorussky railway station and agreed to participate in the conspiracy. In the morning, Alla calls in bewilderment: “Listen, Kolka didn’t spend the night for some reason, this has never happened before.” I feign surprise. Let, I think, get excited. But it was not there. Kolya ran away from Nelka in the evening. calling satisfied Allah: "Well, you're good! Kolya told me everything! - "I wanted you to feel what it's like for him when you're gone!" - “Well, you know that he won’t survive even one day without me!” But it was with her that he was so gentle. And he could punch the male rivals in the face. Once they celebrated my birthday. Kolya, who did not like companies, of course, said in advance: “I won’t come!” And Alla had an admirer Valerka, a trade union worker, he was in love with Larionova until he lost his pulse.

“Come on,” he said, “divorce Rybnikov and marry me, and I will adopt your girls!” And he also came to my birthday party. And, of course, let's hang around Alla. In the midst of the fun, Kolya unexpectedly calls: “I changed my mind, I’ll come now!” I think: just in case, Valera should be put away from Alla, no matter how the scandal comes out. I quickly change the places of the guests and strictly forbid Valerka from even looking at Alla. And so she went to smoke in a small room. And behind her - another of my guests, a relative of our sound engineer, a very young guy Yura. It turned out that he, too, was just delusional about Larionova. And this Yura, finding himself alone with Alla, flops down on his knees in front of her and reads a monologue from her film "Sadko". And at that moment Rybnikov enters and, without saying a word, hits the poor boy in the face - then his whole cheek swelled up.

And Alla laughed: “Kolya hit the wrong person. It was necessary for Valerka!

But no matter what Alla allowed herself, she had no idea to leave Kolya. Maybe she loved him as much as he loved her, just in her own way. In any case, she was more worried about her husband than for herself. There was one story when Allochka was going to an international film festival and, under the greatest secret, bought a little bit of currency - 200 dollars. As a result, Larionova was detained at customs. At that time, this was considered a terrible crime; for the purchase of currency and an attempt to export it abroad, they could have been given a deadline. But it worked out, except for a few calls to the party committee, the local committee. And the main punishment - they slowed down with the assignment of the title People's Artist and Alla, and Kolya. And now she was terribly worried: “What does Rybnikov have to do with it? It was I who bought the currency, and at the same time I did not play either the assemblers or the drummers.

But Kolya - for what? Whenever, on the occasion of some state holiday, the next batch of artists was bestowed with titles, Alla rushed after the newspaper and tried to find the name of Rybnikov in the list. In 1981, she finally waited and was happy.

Kolya died in 1990, and Alla had a hard time without him. She barely made ends meet, performed little, rarely starred, because the movie was going through Hard times. In addition, the youngest daughter Arisha is addicted to a cheerful lifestyle. Now, in the five-room apartment in Maryina Roshcha, a feast was buzzing from morning to evening. Arisha met with some guy who had no housing, no education, no work. He immediately began to call Larionov mom. “Let him call him whatever he wants, I endure him for the sake of my daughter,” Allochka waved her off.

But when, nodding at the portrait of Rybnikov - a man whom he had never seen in his eyes, this guy said the word "dad", then Alla was skewed. There were other kinds of art there as well. And Alla finally decided to leave Arisha. And then I found out that a “kopeck piece” is not very expensive for sale in my entrance. It was there that Allochka moved, exchanging her former five-room apartment for two. At first, Larionova slept on a cot, but she could not get enough of it: “Finally, I will fall asleep peacefully, no one will come in the middle of the night, no one will make noise.” But her soul still, of course, rooted for Arisha. Everything in Alena's work and in her personal life turned out well. Allah was calm for her.

Alla became more and more a homebody, like Kolya. I remember Nonna Mordyukova invited us to the premiere of her film "Mom".

It was unexpected, because by that time we began to communicate less. And then she invited us, talked to us for a minute before the show and went on in her luxurious mink coat. After the picture there was a banquet, but Alla and I were not invited there. “Well, to hell with her,” even Larionova was delighted. - Now let's buy something and sit at home. I fell out of love with some noisy companies. Do you remember how Kolya said: "Lapulya, I - sleep!" It’s a pity that I didn’t understand before that sitting at home with him is the best thing. Now we have to sit without Kolya. I lived with him all my life, but I didn’t have time to be alone properly ... "

“Everyone knew that Rybnikov was dying for Larionova, but he had no chance. He remained just a friend for her, and Allochka preferred to meet with others. When she became pregnant from the actor Ivan Pereverzev, it seemed that now there was definitely no place for Rybnikov in Alla's life, ”says producer Svetlana Pavlova, a friend of Larionova.

Alena - the daughter of Alla and Kolya - after school and failure in the entrance exams at VGIK had to be attached to work. She was not a very assiduous girl: in order to give her a certificate at school, her parents had to give a concert for teachers. I remember that on the eve of Rybnikov and Larionova they were so worried, as if they were to perform at the Kremlin Palace of Congresses. And so I got Alena on television, as an assembler. The bad thing was that among her new colleagues there were people who knew too well the secret of Alena's birth. That she is not Kolya Rybnikov's own daughter, but her real father is actor Ivan Pereverzev. And so that she would not hear this truth from strangers, I, with the permission of Alla and Kolya, decided to tell her everything myself. I kept thinking about how to do it, I was tormented, I was choosing words ... And she answered: “Aunt Light, this doesn’t change anything. I have one dad."

Kolya sought Alla for six years, since their studies at VGIK. Both at the institute and later, everyone knew that Rybnikov was dying for Larionova, but he had no chance. He remained just a friend for her, and Allochka preferred to meet with others. Quite early, she began acting - even when she was a student, Ptushko invited her to the main role in the film "Sadko". Actor Ivan Pereverzev played in the same film - there he and Alla met. A few years later, an affair began between the artists, Larionova became pregnant. It seemed that now there was definitely no place for Rybnikov in Alla's life. Only now Pereverzev was in no hurry to marry a pregnant girlfriend. As it turned out later, he then rushed between two women - Alla and the actress of the Theater of Satire Kira Kanaeva, who was also expecting a child from him. The denouement of this story came in Minsk, on the set of the film "Polesskaya Legend", where Larionova starred with Pereverzev.

Ivan told her about some urgent business in Moscow and flew away. Came back a few days later. Alla later said: “I took the jacket thrown by Vanka from the chair, hung it in the closet. She took out her passport from her pocket. Before putting it in the nightstand, I automatically flipped through, and there was a fresh stamp about marriage. It turns out that this is why Vanka broke into Moscow - to get married. Alla, without saying a word, packed her things and left for another room. She called her brother's wife Valya, with whom she was friendly, and cried to her. And Valya immediately dialed Rybnikova: “Kol, it’s all over with Pereverzev!” Kolya did not have to ask or call! He then starred in Vysota, but gave up everything and flew on the very first flight to Alla in Minsk to make an offer.

This February marks the 80th anniversary of the birth of the actress. There were no special celebrations, since they managed to forget her during her lifetime. In the fifties, she was the queen of the screen, she shone in the films Anna around the neck, Fathers and Sons, Twelfth Night ... And already in the eighties she was forced to earn extra money in crowd scenes and live from bread to water. How did it turn out, especially since Larionova’s husband was no less famous actor Nikolay Rybnikov?

Brilliantly start your life and end it in poverty and obscurity - this is the way many have gone Soviet actresses. Alla Larionova was no exception, despite the fact that, it would seem, she was insured from all sides: she had an amazing appearance, she did not quarrel with anyone from the world of cinema and her husband was a popular actor. But somehow it happened that in the nineties, no one needed it at all. Her resounding success was left behind, replaced by new actresses. Yes, and the appearance was not the same. In order to go out into the street, Larionova painstakingly painted, pulled on a wig. No one figured her out without makeup ... And most importantly, in the ninetieth year, her husband died, and the actress became lonely. Her friend, actress Larisa Luzhina, told us about how she lived at that time:

- You understand, she somehow all wilted after the death of Nikolai, there was no interest in life in her eyes. But she still looked completely nothing to herself. But she said: I don't need anyone! Nothing is very interesting to me ... I'm tired of everything!

The only thing that worried the actress was the future of her youngest daughter, Arishi. The fact is that the daughter began to drink heavily and this tendency quickly turned into a disease. Arisha spent time with friends in the apartment where she lived with her mother. Larionova did not give her daughter any money for drinking. And as a result, things from the wardrobe, jewelry began to disappear. famous actress. It became clear where they were disappearing... A large number of times Larionova put Arisha in the clinic, in moments of despair she went with her, but nothing helped. Arisha never got over her illness. She died a year after her mother's death.

By and large, the troubles of the actress began after the death of her husband. Then recognizable events happened - Soviet cinema collapsed, many actors were left out of life and without money. Some of them preferred to practically starve to death, but not to take on hack work. Larionova was not one of those.

“She agreed to any job,” recalls Larisa Luzhina. - Took part in any mass meeting. She and I also starred in a student film by a VGIK graduate.

But the students could not a large number of pay to be in their films. Based on this, there was more hope for extras. In those years, the names of dilapidated favorites were not yet forgotten. But there was not as much money in film production as there was in this moment. They could not offer a worthy fee to a dilapidated, highly respected actress.

“I starred in vaudeville Lev Gurych Sinichkin and also did not know that such an actress as Alla Larionova was participating in the extras,” Mikhail Kozakov later recalled. To be honest, I didn't even see her!

The aging star was made up and made one of the eight young ladies on the backup dancers - behind the main character. And there were many such episodes. Over the years, they simply did not find out in Larionova former beauty... Her last work was the play Insidiousness, money and love, which was a huge success in the late nineties. Just in it, Alla Dmitrievna went on stage in last time. At the end of the performance, she addressed the audience with these words:

“When the time comes for me to leave, the only thing I will regret is the love I felt for those who live on earth.

On the same night, the actress died due to cardiac arrest.

Who else from the great actresses remained unclaimed?

The lack of demand for an actress in the cinema was associated only with age. Get ready to shoot her further, especially since her husband was a recognizable director Grigory Alexandrov. What specific tricks did he not use in the film Starling and Lyre in order to film a 72-year-old wife as if she were 28 years old ... But, alas, this did not work, and the film, at the request of Orlova, lay on the shelf. She has not acted in films since that time.

The career of the star of the film The Pig and the Shepherd ended after the end of the divorce from director Ivan Pyryev, who ruled in Soviet cinema at that time ... But The only son The actress says that she was later offered roles, but her bad temperament prevented her from getting along with other directors. Be that as it may, but for forty years (!) She sat without roles, forgotten by everyone, lonely ... In 1998, the co-founders of the Nika film award found her in her memory and handed her a statuette. Indeed, the actress was skeptical about this. They rewarded me in order to remind everyone how old I am ... - she grumbled.

Together with Orlova and Ladynina, she was the top three Soviet actress stars. Her fame began with the films Woman of Character, Hearts of Four. Warmed up the interest of the people in the actress and her stormy personal life. At first she was the wife of the famous test pilot Serov. Later - the poet Konstantin Simonov, who dedicated his best poems to her. But personal life with Simonov did not work out. And later, the actress began to drink ... She was found dead in her own apartment in 1975.
