The husband of Marina Neelova. Kasparov hid a family secret for many years. TV shows by Marina Neyolova

Actress Marina Neelova categorically rejected any questions about her personal life. In addition to the well-known facts that are included in the passport data, she was married to director and actor Anatoly Vasilyev, and is currently married to diplomat Kirill Gevorkyan.

The actress tells only about her daughter, Nika Neelova, who lives in Europe and is engaged in painting and sculpture. Nika was born on February 4, 1987. Marina Mstislavovna has just ended an affair with the famous chess champion - Garry Kasparov, who was talked about by the entire elite of the capital. For many years it was believed that the smart, bright Nika was the daughter of Garry Kasparov.

May 17, from documentary film on Channel One "Don't ask me about novels", judging by the announcement, it will become known who is the father of the already world-famous artist Nika Neelova.

20 years ago, Marina Neelova broke out a secret romance with a young lover, which ended in a big scandal. The actress is a very closed lady, and she never talked about this, nor that the daughter of Nika, born Marina Mstislavovna at the age of 40, became the fruit of this passion ().

And before the upcoming sensational recognition, Marina Neyolova, speaking at a creative evening at the Russian Abroad Library, frankly spoke about the most personal moments in her life, including her first love - for the incredible artist Oleg Dal, about her first marriage to director Anatoly Vasiliev and about the "family union" with Galina Volchek.

"Muscovite" managed to write down everything that Marina Neelova said about herself.

About your appearance
Do you even see me? I was used to always being smaller and thinner than everyone, almost like an invisible man. Throughout my life, the elevator has only lifted me when I jumped. I still wonder how I decided to enter the theater institute with such an appearance. I remember how I came to my native LGITMiK and immediately saw hundreds, yes, hundreds of incredible beautiful girls- tall, slender, with huge eyes. Whereas I didn't fit into any of the categories. With horror I understand - I need to do something to draw attention to myself. Thin, skinny, three hairs on his head, and with a terrible complex of lack of a figure.

A year later, when I worked at the Sovremennik Theater, Kostya Raikin and I cried to each other “in the vest” about our unusual appearance. Kostya then said to me: “And I, Marina, like your hands.” And I said: “And I, Kostya, like your hands - they wriggle, wriggle like snakes” ...

The most terrible thing was ahead of me - in the second round, when the applicants were supposed to come in swimsuits. Next to me stood an amazing beauty - tall, stately, while I looked like an allowance - which artists should not be. But I had such a passionate desire to become an actress that I fought desperately. The most surprising thing is that I entered the course of Vasily Merkuriev, a postcard with his portrait on the eve of admission I bought at the Soyuzpechat kiosk.

About the role of the "old-fashioned young lady"
At the state exam in the theater, I flew around the stage in my crinoline dress so much that I fell into the hall. And it fell ugly - the skirt rose above the waist, the lace of the pantaloons turned out, the wig was on its side, and I was lying, in the literal sense, between the first hall and the stage. And I thought to myself: “What could be worse than head over heels off the stage?” And then she quickly got up, straightened her skirt and continued.

As easy as that time, I have never played in my life. After all, the worst thing happened - a fall from the stage and a skirt on his head. I had to contend with a crinoline full skirt in my first film, Old, Old Tale, where I play a princess who has incredible adventures. And I also struggled while working on this picture with love for a wonderful partner Oleg Dal.

Oleg Dal as a tsunami
From the first day of shooting in Nadezhda Kosheverova's film "An Old, Old Tale" everyone just told me not to fall in love with Oleg Dal. Oleg was already a star then, a Moscow celebrity, while I was yesterday's graduate. And good people I was told that Oleg did not want me to play the princess. He was shown photos of all the contenders for this role, and his verdict was: "Not this one." "Not this" - that is, not me.

Marina Neelova

Of course, I fell in love with Oleg Dal instantly. It was impossible not to fall in love with him. Piercing blue eyes, curly black hair, legs growing from the ears, long fingers, like those of a musician, a velvety nervous voice ... And Dahl was a wonderful partner, he had no ambition, pulling the blanket over himself, no stardom and arrogance. A huge hot wave of talent and charm emanated from him, as if it were a tsunami. I have never met a partner stronger in terms of energy, in terms of magnetism, like Oleg Dal. He was the only artist that no one has yet been able to replace. Now there are many beautiful, inflated, nimble artists, but all of them gray mice compared to Dahl. I thank fate for the fact that my first partner and my first love is Oleg Dal.

About the theatrical novel
I was married to a theatrical genius - Anatoly Vasiliev. Always thought that I had good character, and in marriage with Vasiliev, I realized that my character is not just good, but wonderful. Because Anatoly's character, to put it mildly, is not sugar. Thanks to him, I learned to “take a hit”, both in life and on stage. How did you learn! My theatrical life began with a fight. I always dream of playing in the Sovremennik theater, because Oleg Dal played there. But I wanted to be invited there, but I was not invited. Then, having listened to the advice of her friend, artist Alexander Lenkov, she went to the troupe of the Moscow City Council Theater. The legendary director Anatoly Efros came to stage the play "Turbaza", and he was offered to try me for one role. At the very first rehearsal, without wanting it myself, I had a fight with Alexander Lenkov. My heroine only had to touch Lenkov's shoulder with her hand, showing her displeasure, but I, as they say, went into courage. From the fifth floor of the rehearsal room, Lenkov and I rolled down to the wardrobe, where our partners were already separating us. Anatoly Vasilievich sent artists with the words: "Run after them, otherwise they will kill each other." In the future, I often beat my partners in earnest. Perhaps that is why they began to say that I have a bad temper. In fact, I have a good character. Only an artist has to defend himself against sadistic directors

About beloved Leningrader Konstantin Raikin
We have been friends with Konstantin Raikin since our youth. We were united by our native city of Leningrad, and a certain defenselessness (perhaps because of our not quite acting appearance). When for the first time I found myself in the famous apartment of Arkady Raikin, where I was invited by Kostya Raikin, the sophisticated cruelty of filmmakers was revealed to me. Nikita Sergeevich Mikhalkov made Kostya Raikin shave his head for an episodic role in the film "Friend among Strangers". As a result, the bald Kostya Raikin was not a sight for the faint of heart. Directors are terrible sadists: blondes are forced to dye their hair in brunettes, fat ones are ordered to lose 25 kilograms, and thin ones to get fat. They mock artists as they want. After my marriage to Anatoly Vasiliev, whose talent I admire to this day, I vowed not to fall in love with directors anymore.

How I became the wife of director Volchek
An infinite number of times I was credited with a family relationship with Galina Borisovna Volchek: either I am her sister, or a niece, or a poor relative, or an illegitimate daughter. But the funniest version was: they say, this Neelova is the “wife” of director Volchek.

In one of the rehearsals of the play “Three Sisters”, when Valentin Gaft flatly refused to kiss me, Galina Borisovna said: “What should I do? Let me kiss you if he doesn't want to." To which I replied: “No, thank you. If suddenly one of the outsiders sees this, then you won’t wash off in your whole life.

Moreover, Valentin Gaft kissed me after all. And what a kiss!

About the faithful defender Valentin Gaft
- The first time I met Valentin Gaft in the play "From Lopatin's Notes", where he played Lopatin, and I played Nika. But I didn’t know then that Valentin Iosifovich has a strange feature of repeating one phrase during the performance until he achieves its correct sound (if he didn’t like the first option). When in the play “Lopatin’s Notes” my heroine says: “I want to tell you about the war, I’m just thinking how to make it shorter,” Gaft’s hero repeats his previous remark: “If you don’t want to talk about the war, don’t.” In response, I repeat my text: “I want to talk about the war,” and Gaft again says: “No need.” And so it went on for five minutes.

Valentin Iosifovich is my faithful defender throughout my life. He took my every disappointment to heart and wanted to help me. After breaking up with one man, and a very famous man, Valentin Gaft repeated, just like in the play "From Lopatin's Notes": "Yes, after that, no self-respecting house of Moscow will accept him."

Biography

The actress grew up in a family that had nothing to do with cinema and theater. Mom, being a student, went to the front voluntarily and served as a radio operator in Murmansk.

Marina Neelova: "In our Sovremennik, the atmosphere of search, its very spirit, make any task so much easier that it would be a sin to complain ... Everyone is sure to discuss the role. The director sometimes gets angry - she obeyed someone again! And you, perhaps, did it unwittingly, almost imperceptibly for yourself".

Biography, personal life, photos of the actress began to arouse public interest precisely after the release of this film. Preparation for the role of Alla took a lot of time, Marina wanted to understand her character as best as possible.

This was far from the first sacrifice that Marina made for her beloved work. For example, in the film "With You and Without You", released a few years earlier, the actress embodied the image of a laborer. She was forced to milk goats and cows, carry bags of stones, chop wood and mow grass.

It cannot be said that the actress Marina Neelova, whose biography, personal life and creative achievements are discussed in the article, has a clearly defined role. She began her film career with the roles of fairy-tale and romantic characters. As an example, we can recall the paintings "Broken Horseshoe", "The Color of White Snow", "The Prince and the Pauper", "Shadow". Then Neelova began to play vulnerable, fragile, suffering women who are ready to fight for their individuality, to defend their "I". For example, this is her Nina in “Photos on the Wall”, Valentina in “Word for Protection”, Sasha in “Just Sasha”, Alla in “Autumn Marathon”.

In the 80s, Marina's repertoire was enriched with comedy roles with a touch of farce. Many viewers sunk into the soul of the heroine, the images of which she embodied in the films "Someone else's wife and husband under the bed", "Handsome man", "We are cheerful, happy, talented", "Carousel", "Ladies invite gentlemen". She also continued to act in dramas. For example, Neelova performed one of her most striking roles in the film “Dear Elena Sergeevna”. It is impossible not to mention the film "Prison Romance", in which the star brilliantly embodied the image of the main character. She played an investigator of the prosecutor's office, who manages to fall in love with a prisoner.

First marriage

Fans want to know everything about this talented woman, the public is interested in her biography, personal life, children. Marina Neelova met her first husband while working on her graduation film, in which she was entrusted with a key role. The actor and director Anatoly Vasiliev immediately made an impression on her, the sympathy was mutual.

The lovers played a wedding shortly after the release of the picture. Anatoly lived in Moscow, and Marina moved from her hometown to the capital. Her first marriage lasted about eight years. The official reason for their separation was that they did not get along.

Romance with Garry Kasparov

What happened next in the personal life of Marina Neelova? The biography of the star indicates that in 1984 she began romantic relationship with chess player Garry Kasparov. The actress was 16 years older than her lover, but this did not stop her. It was Marina who helped Harry enter the circle of the metropolitan elite. Kasparov's mother categorically opposed their relationship. It is possible that this is what led to their separation.

What other facts are known from the biography of Marina Neelova? She did not have children in marriage with Anatoly Vasiliev, but she gave birth to a daughter from Garry Kasparov. The actress named the girl Nika. Harry abandoned his daughter before she was born, and Neyelova deleted this man from her life forever. Her friends also stopped communicating with Kasparov and hosting him.

Second marriage

The diplomat Kirill Gevorgyan became the second husband of the star, her biography testifies to this. Marina Neelova, whose photo can be seen in the article, met this man at one of the receptions where her friends invited her. The lovers met for about three months, then got married. It was Kirill who became a real father for her daughter Nika.

Gevorgyan, on duty, spent a lot of time abroad, Marina traveled with him. Of course, this could not but affect her career. In the beloved Sovremennik, the star was met halfway, the schedule of performances was adjusted to suit her. Neelova began to act in films less frequently. When she had to choose between family and work, she preferred family.

Daughter

Marina Neelova's father was an artist. It is possible that it was from her grandfather that her daughter Nika inherited the talent for drawing. The heiress of the actress graduated from the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague, then studied at University College London. Now Nika's works are exhibited at prestigious European exhibitions. Interestingly, the daughter of Neelova and Kasparov not only does not seek publicity, but even avoids it.
