Children of Alla Larionova. Alla Larionova's love triangle. Filmography: films starring Nikolai Rybnikov

Strong acting marriages are rare, especially when both are beautiful, talented and in demand.
The novel of Alla Larionova and Nikolai Rybnikov deserves to be considered one of the most touching in the love story of the twentieth century.

They say that there is no absolute and unconditional happiness, just as there is no all-consuming, one-for-life love.

They also say that in a relationship of two, one loves, and the other only allows himself to be loved, one kisses, and the other only turns his cheek. Let it be! In their life together, it was indeed she who allowed herself to be loved, but did not become less happy from this.

Someone always pulls the blanket over himself, and the other becomes jealous ... The Rybnikov-Larionov couple turned out to be a happy exception.
All the years of marriage, both seemed to soar in seventh heaven, above gossip and intrigue. By the way, one of the films in which they starred together was called “Seventh Heaven”.

He fell in love with a girl with a luxurious braid and blue eyes, as soon as he saw her in the corridor of VGIK. She sat and cried, because she was refused admission. Having learned from his comrades the reason for the tears, Kolya Rybnikov burst into Sergei Gerasimov's office and declared from the threshold: “I have a man's conversation with you. Accept Allochka Larionova in my place. I'll be with you next year!"

I love her,” he added and left. What really influenced it - his impudence or the master himself decided that she would make a good actress - but he accepted both of them on the course. At that time, Rybnikov did not shine with appearance. According to the memoirs of Larionova herself, "he was terribly thin: he lived in a hostel, ate in canteens." Poor student, how could he attract the first beauty of the course? He tried, of course.

He constantly reminded of himself: in every film expedition, Alla received telegrams: “I drink your health. I love. Your Kolya. And Larionova was no longer just a student, but a real movie star! Anna on the Neck has already been released, the whole world has already applauded the fairy tale Sadko, Charlie Chaplin himself kissed her hand, the queen of the Venice Festival, and wrote poems Gerard Philip, Hollywood bosses vying Larionov was called to act in America.

He suffered from it for almost six years ... Once he even wanted to hang himself. Rybnikov was literally pulled out of the loop when their common classmate with Alla, Vadim Zakharenko, said that he was allegedly dating (and not only!) Alla Larionova. “If you want, I’ll give it to you,” Zakharenko laughed, “take it!” Rybnikov rushed into the fray. At that time, he broke his finger, which had grown together incorrectly and reminded him of this story all his life.

Time will pass, and Zakharenko will give an interview to one of the central Moscow newspapers, in which he will talk about his close relationship with Larionova. But he will do this only after her death, when she can no longer agree with his words, nor refute them ...

And after the failed suicide, Gerasimov himself corrected the brains of Nikolai. “Are you out of your mind? he shouted at the whole institute. “Well, you need to think it over - hang yourself because of a woman!” - “She is not a woman,” objected Rybnikov, “she is a beauty! It's not her fault that she loves another! - "And if you are a beauty," Gerasimov said sternly, "conquer!"
I have no idea how he managed to find me, but, in modern terms, he got me. And got it!

Ivan Pereverzev

She always dreamed that next to her was the only man whom she loved and from whom she was expecting a child. How happy she was when she found out about her pregnancy! And he? He offered to have an abortion so as not to raise an illegitimate child, and left. Who could help Alla? Only one person - Nikolai, who was in love with her for a long time and hopelessly.

Alla really knew how to turn heads, she liked it when there were gallant men around, preferably older. She accepted courtship with pleasure, but all beautiful women sin with this ...

And one of these men captured her heart. They met Ivan Pereverzev on the set of the fairy tale "Sadko".
Impressive, famous, he was fifteen years older than Alla, and, as she hoped, could become the very “stone wall” that all women are looking for. But instead, he became a stone that is in the heart of almost every one of us ...

It was he who abandoned her and their unborn child. What was Alla to do? She left for Minsk to shoot "Polesskaya Legend" without making any decision. It was New Year's Eve, 1957. All that remained was to hope for a New Year's miracle. Alla, of course, thought about Kolya many times, but now how will she look into the eyes of her most devoted admirer, now that she considered herself a fallen woman?

She sat alone in the room and wept bitterly when there was a knock on the door. In the hotel corridor stood ... Nikolai. He did not indulge in long explanations and simply said: “Marry me.” Together they celebrated the New Year and on the very first working day, January 2, went to the registry office. At first, they did not want to paint them, because they were supposed to submit an application in advance.

But, having recognized the famous artist, the employees changed their anger to mercy.
Many called their marriage fabulous: in the house there is prosperity, peace and love, two daughters are growing up (the first girl, who was born in February 1957, the couple named Alena, in 1961 they had Arisha). And this happy union lasted, like in a fairy tale - thirty years and three years.

But their family life could not be called calm.
African passions raged! Alla Larionova recalled: “Kolya was very jealous. Repeatedly Rybnikov heard various stories about her novels from “well-wishers”.

Over the years, he settled down and no longer used his fists. Such informants were simply politely refused home. And Rybnikov never arranged interrogations for his wife, did not sort things out. “Real men hit the offender in the face, but they don’t insult the woman with suspicion” - he also remembered this lesson of Gerasimov for the rest of his life.

They were completely different, but this only strengthened their union. He is explosive, she is balanced. He was so fond of chess that he decided to challenge Mikhail Tal and Yefim Geller to a fight. She became an avid gambler: while chess husbands fought at the board, their wives, led by Larionova, played poker. He did not smoke, she even asked to bring cigarettes to the hospital.

He was a fierce fan of hockey and attended almost every match, she spent time at home watching TV.

Rybnikov also turned out to be an excellent culinary specialist: he himself came up with recipes and fried, steamed, marinated ... He could stand at the stove for days. In general, he calmly took on domestic problems and never reprimanded his wife for the fact that she was not eager to host in the kitchen.

They lived together for 33 years ... It is difficult to look into someone else's life, and, probably, it is not necessary. Did they quarrel? Certainly. Living people, but everything happens in life, but, according to Alla Dmitrievna herself, it didn’t reach the fights - such a scenario is not for them. Was he jealous of her? How could you not be so jealous? Larionova was a beauty for all time and always liked men. But if this jealousy existed, then only Rybnikov himself knew about it. He never reproached his wife for anything - neither in past sins, nor in present ones.

They raised two daughters - Alena and Arina. When they left for the shooting, the mother of Larionova Valentina Alekseevna remained with the girls. Once the parents returned home a month later, one of the daughters looked at her mother and said: “Aunt!”. Larionova wept for a long time.

Then the family decided to hang large portraits of their parents on the wall. Grandmother pointed at them and inspired the girls: "This is mom, this is dad." It all ended in confusion. Once Alla Dmitrievna came with little Arishka to the children's clinic. And in line, sitting in her mother's arms, the girl suddenly pointed to a portrait of Khrushchev hanging on the wall and shouted: “Dad! Dad!".

I had to flee from prying eyes.
One day, one of the journalists asked Alla Dmitrievna if she was sorry, because she could have made a more profitable game in life. Larionova replied: “Fate, then.

I have had many situations and proposals in my life. But I don't regret it. Kolya was a personality… And most importantly, he loved me very much.” Rybnikov was monogamous and was proud that his life fit into a simple scheme: "Beloved woman, favorite home, favorite job." Alla was not only Rybnikov's beloved woman - she was his deity, and, probably, his whole life.

“Well, imagine,” recalls Larionova, “in Moscow there is a film festival, to which Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida come ... And I just gave birth, and even a nursing mother - I got better, I look bad, I go around the house in a shabby bathrobe. I tell him: “Kolya, go look, there are such beautiful women!” And he replies: “Are you out of your mind? You are better!". I have always been the best for him. In general, he was a wonderful husband, a loving and caring father, a good owner ... ".

They had a hospitable home, Rybnikov loved to receive guests and cook, especially dumplings. He could come home and say to his wife: “Lapusya, there are more aprons of ours!”. Larionova went to the store, bought fabric, sewed. The next day, when guests came, Rybnikov ... put aprons on them and sat them down under his guidance to sculpt dumplings. And when they stick a lot, he invited everyone to the table.

I loved canning. He had his own, some special recipes for pickling cucumbers and tomatoes, which Alla Dmitrievna never mastered.

He rolled tomatoes perfectly. A lot of people always came to their hospitable house for “vodka under a tomato”.
A kind of "canning" frontier in their family was the holiday of November 7, until which no one was allowed to open banks. Nikolai Nikolaevich always said: “We will open for the October holidays!”.

In the summer of 1990, he, as always, wound up a lot of cans: in December, he was to celebrate his sixtieth birthday, and there the New Year. But Rybnikov did not live to see the anniversary. October 22 went to bed and did not wake up. Pickles carefully prepared by him were eaten at the wake.

She outlived her husband by almost 10 years. There was no strength to stay in a house where everything reminded of Kolya, and Alla Dmitrievna changed her luxurious five-room apartment near the Novoslobodskaya metro station to a two-room Khrushchev. She moved, but she couldn’t make out things for a long time - so they stood in boxes, and the girlfriends threatened to come and, having expelled the hostess out the door, put things in order.

And Alla simply did not have time to take care of the house - together with the Vakhtangov actors Vyacheslav Shalevich and Marianna Vertinskaya, she traveled around the country with the play "Money, deceit and love", where she got the role that Lyudmila Tselikovskaya had previously played. They say she sought salvation in her work. Maybe. But, most likely, she simply could not sit idle, indulging in memories.

Nikolai Rybnikov and Alla Larionova in the film "Two Lives"

Alla still loved to receive guests, arranging bachelorette parties for her girlfriends. She lived the life and problems of her daughters, who until the end of their lives took care of their mother and called her affectionately - Musik. She smoked a lot, but she liked to drink a little - for mood. She did not allow herself to relax, she always looked well-groomed, elegantly and tastefully dressed. She continued to famously drive a car - this was always her favorite pastime, unlike housekeeping.

She always had dogs - as soon as one died, another was immediately started. Only one, a pygmy lap-dog Kapl, had to be given away. The dog that Larionova was presented with on the set of the film “Come to me, Mukhtar!” Considered Alla Dmitrievna her property and never parted with her. Even when the actress was driving, the dog sat on her shoulder. Once, on a sharp turn, the Drop just fell out the window. While the lapdog was jealous of Larionov for her husband and even growled at him, she was tolerated. But when the Drop began to bite the children, they had to part with her.

Next to the five-story building in which Larionova lived, a multi-storey building was built. She really wanted to get an apartment in it, and the Moscow City Council promised her - after all, a famous actress. And then the officials asked for 30 thousand dollars ... She did not have that kind of money: the actress lived very modestly - a little more than 500 rubles to retire. They say that Naina Yeltsina offered help, but Alla Dmitrievna refused.

In fact, she died twice. Returning from a tour by plane, she suddenly felt ill and lost consciousness. They laid her down in the aisle between the chairs, gave her nitroglycerin, which Nonna Mordyukova found in her purse, unbuttoned the collar of her blouse. Not immediately, but she returned ...

They say that when Larionova opened her eyes, actress Valentina Titova suggested: “Alla, take off your wig (Larionova wore it lately), it will be easier!” But the actress whispered: “If you die, then only in a wig!”. When the plane landed, an ambulance met him at the airport: the pilots reported to the ground that Alla Larionova had died. She was then told that this was a good omen and that she would now live for a long, long time ...

She died on April 25, 2000, Holy Week, before Easter. A few days before her death, Alla Dmitrievna received a scarab beetle as a gift and was very happy with the good omen, she said: “I now believe in everything, I need health so much!”

At half past twelve the night before, neighbors saw her smoking on the balcony. She went to bed, as usual, with a net on her hair and two large curlers on her bangs. Larionova died in her sleep from a massive heart attack. She was 69 years old. They say that such a death is prepared only for the righteous and it must be earned...

Alla Larionova did not live to see her 70th birthday for almost a year. The daughters, frightened by the fact that the mother did not appear at the doctor she was going to, and did not answer the phone, rushed to her house. Alla Dmitrievna was lying on her side in bed, curled up, as if she were sleeping. She was buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery next to Nikolai Rybnikov - now they are together again. Forever.

The eldest daughter of Nikolai Nikolaevich and Alla Dmitrievna Alena has been working as an editing director on the First Channel of Russian Television for many years.
The youngest daughter, Arina, died on June 17, 2004, at the age of 43, in Moscow from heart failure.
The Rybnikov-Arina family was cut short.

The future People's Artist of the RSFSR and the star of Soviet cinema Alla Dmitrievna Larionova was born in Moscow in February 1931. The family lived quite well: dad was a food trader, mom worked as a supply manager in a kindergarten. Parents named the girl in honor of the movie star and idol of her time, artist Alla Tarasova. And, as they say now, they programmed their daughter for the future.

After her father went to the front, Alla, together with her mother, went to the evacuation. In the city of Menzelinsk, my mother worked in a hospital. It was here that 9-year-old Alla Larionova first appeared "on stage". She read poetry to the wounded who were in the hospital. Here, the future artist heard the first applause and laudatory "reviews" of her performances. In this hospital I saw Alla Larionova. After a couple of decades, they met as colleagues.

For the first time, young and charming Alla was invited to the cinema when she was barely 15 years old. On the street, an unfamiliar woman approached her, who asked if the girl wanted to act in films. Of course, Larionova wanted to. So she got on the set and starred in several films. True, in the crowd, but Alla felt the taste of the profession.

After graduating from school, Alla went to study as an artist. At GITIS, Larionova failed her exams miserably. Unfortunately, among the examiners, the girl saw the famous director Vasily Mikhailovich Goncharov and completely forgot everything that she had prepared for admission. Not everything turned out smoothly with admission to VGIK. For some reason I didn't like the girl. But everything was decided by his wife, whom Alla, on the contrary, liked.

Films

The star role, which determined her entire future film career, went to Alla Larionova in her student years. The actress played Lyubava in Alexander Ptushko's film "Sadko". The film, released in 1952, was so successful that the following year the group that starred in it was invited to Venice for a festival. Moreover, the fairy tale film was awarded the Silver Lion prize in the Golden Lion nomination. It was a real breakthrough for Soviet cinema.

In Venice, Alla Larionova felt the taste of incredible fame. Crowds of journalists and fans ran after the Russian beauty. Among the latter were the most famous producers and directors. They offered the actress roles that she flatly refused: official representatives, officials who accompanied a group of artists abroad, strictly forbade making contacts with "bourgeois" directors.

Perhaps the creative biography of Alla Larionova would have been completely different if she had stayed abroad. But history does not tolerate the subjunctive mood. The artist returned home in tears. She was allowed to touch the beautiful world, to see it, but she was forbidden to live in it.

The actress was comforted by the offer she received as soon as she got off the plane. Alla Larionova was informed that she was approved for the role of the main character in the film "Anna on the Neck".

The picture was released in 1954 and turned Larionova into a star of Russian cinema. The glory that fell on the artist exceeded the fame that Alla Dmitrievna received after Sadko. She was guarded near the house, covered with flowers. The queues near the cinemas from those wishing to see "Anna on the Neck" stretched for hundreds of meters. But fame also had a downside. Alla Larionova was envied. Gossip spread around her name.

After the actress starred in Twelfth Night, where she appeared in the image of the beautiful Olivia, fans were on duty near the film studio and apartment, looked in the windows and waited for her to come out. Even the Minister of Culture came to see the actress. After that, Larionova was immediately credited with an affair with an official.

And they stopped giving roles. And if they did, they did everything so that the actress could not get on the set. So it happened with the painting "Ilya Muromets". Larionova was approved for the role, but in the theater where she worked, the business trip to Yalta, in which the shooting took place, was not signed.

In the 60-70s, Alla Larionova did not receive the main roles. Often she even agreed to episodes. And in 1966, the artist starred in the film "Wild Honey", where she agreed to the role of an ugly girl, whose face was generously smeared with mud.

During these years, it was discovered that Alla Larionova could play characteristic roles. She played Natalya Dmitrievna Paskudina in "Uncle's Dream", the saleswoman Lyubava in "Kolka Pavlyukov's Long Day", Elena Ivanovna in "The Magician" and in the tape "There is an idea!". But the roles, after which the actress would be carried in her arms, were no longer offered to her.

They remembered Alla Larionova when she turned 60. The artist was given the title of People's, congratulated, but they were not offered significant roles. Larionova lived very quietly and modestly. Until the end of her life, she regretted that she had refused to act in films, which offered her work more than once. In order not to indulge in sad memories and not sit within four walls, Larionova traveled around the country with the play "Money, deceit, love" with the theater named after.

Personal life

In January 1957, Alla Larionova married. Their relationship was difficult at first. Alla liked the future star of Soviet cinema as a student. But then Nikolai Rybnikov did not pay attention to her.

A little later, Larionova broke out in an affair with an actor. Together they lived for some time, until Alla found out that Pereverzev was developing a relationship with another woman. Larionova left her unfaithful lover. Not even pregnancy could hold her back.

Upon learning that Alla Larionova was alone, Rybnikov immediately rushed to Minsk, where she starred in the film "Polesskaya Legend", and offered her a hand and a heart. At that time, he was crazy in love with the actress. Subsequently, he loved the born daughter Alena no less than their common daughter Arisha.

Together, this beautiful couple lived for 33 years. When Nikolai Rybnikov died, Alla Dmitrievna somehow immediately wilted, as if the light had been put out in her. She fell in love with loneliness and rarely went out somewhere. Soon she exchanged their large 5-room apartment, where everything reminded of Nikolai.

Death

Alla Larionova faded away for 10 years after the death of her husband. She passed away on April 25, 2000. The famous actress died quietly in her sleep. She was found 6 hours after her death. It turned out she had died of a massive heart attack. Larionova did not live up to her 70th birthday for one year.

The artist was buried next to her husband at the Troekurovsky cemetery. A year later, their daughter Arisha, addicted to alcohol, died.

Alla Larionova's parents met during the civil war. In peacetime, they got married, dad became the director of the district food trade, and always remained an ideological communist. Mom, on the other hand, had only four grades of education and worked as a supply manager in a kindergarten. The Great Patriotic War began. The father went to the front, and his young wife and nine-year-old daughter were evacuated to Menzelinsk. Mother began to help in the hospital, and Allochka, not wanting to sit idle, came to the wounded to read poetry and sing.

It is known that it was there that the first bell sounded, foreshadowing her cinematic future: one of the hospital patients was Zinovy ​​Gerdt. She will meet with him on the set and immediately remember a good friend.

The second bell sounded after the war, when a grown-up girl went out of town with her mother's kindergarten. An assistant director came there in search of children for filming. We looked at several girls, chose Alla. But my mother did not allow me to go to Mosfilm.

Without memory

Only the third attempt of cinema to get into the life of Larionova was crowned with success. She was in the eighth grade, when a Mosfilm employee approached her right on the street and asked if she wanted to act in films? The girl immediately agreed, she was immediately registered as an extras actress, and they began to invite. I had to work unexpectedly a lot, there were also night shootings. Alla was so carried away by a new occupation that she abandoned her studies and slipped into triples.

It is not surprising that after school, the future star decided to enter GITIS. She did not doubt herself, but when she saw the famous theater director and teacher Andrei Goncharov in the selection committee, she forgot everything in the world, including her own text. He sneered, saying that at that age the memory could have been better, but he did not blame the beauty.

Larionova was not limited to one education, and, after graduating from GITIS, she also entered VGIK. At the entrance exams, she again had an incident. The head of the selection committee, Sergei Gerasimov, called her ugly and was about to turn away when his own wife persuaded her to look at the girl. So Alla entered the second university.

world star

She was 21 years old when director Alexander Ptushko invited her to play the role of Lyubava in the Sadko film. It was the first Soviet film that got to the Venice Film Festival. Both the director and the actors received the highest awards and worldwide recognition. Foreign critics spoke flatteringly about Larionova, and offers from great Western directors immediately rained down. Even Charlie Chaplin wanted to work with her! But Soviet stars traveled to such events under the strict supervision of the secret services, and no one was simply allowed to stay in Europe to work.

Larionova returned to her homeland in tears, and at the airport she was told that she had already been approved for the main role in Isidor Annensky's film Anna on the Neck. And again - world fame, again the Italian Film Festival, recognition, adoration ...

But "Sadko" gave the actress not only a ticket to a big movie, but also became the starting point in Larionova's love drama, because it was on that set that she met Ivan Pereverzev.

Triangle

In numerous memoirs, they will talk about the fact that Pereverzev loved only his first wife, Nadezhda Cherednichenko, all his life. But he had a crush on her. Restless and abandoned, he was nailed to one or the other actress. Alla Larionova, who firmly believed in his feelings, became his next hobby.

Meanwhile, a huge number of men courted Larionova, but another famous artist, handsome star Nikolai Rybnikov, experienced the most furious, unconditional love. He repeatedly called Alla to marry, but she did not want to listen, she thought only about her Vanya. Rybnikov once even almost hanged himself from a painful, unhappy love for Larionova. They pulled him out of the loop, and then a friend, the same Gerasimov, who almost rejected the actress at VGIK, lamented: “Just think! Hang yourself because of a toad!”

Rybnikov suffered, and Larionova also suffered: Pereverzev did not want to propose to her! However, when she became pregnant, it became clear to her that Ivan was about to be ripe for marriage. She did not worry, confident that this would happen, and, having got on a joint tour, settled with him in the same room.

Suddenly, Pereverzev suddenly breaks off to Moscow - allegedly on business. A few days later he comes back. Preparing to be a caring wife, Larionova cleans up his scattered things. She hangs her jacket in the closet, pulls out her passport to put in her document drawer, and flips through the pages mechanically. And he sees a fresh stamp.

In parallel with Larionova, he played tricks with Kira Kanaeva, who also turned out to be pregnant from him. Tossed between the beauties, Pereverzev chose Kira. Larionova, without saying a word, packed her things and moved to another room, and at night she called her friend and burst into tears. She urgently dialed Rybnikova: “Kolya, everything is over with Larionova and Pereverzev!”

Marriage

It was only then that “Spring on Zarechnaya Street” came out, the whole country knew Rybnikov, and he was busy in a new shooting - in “Vysota”. Having asked the director to give him a couple of days, he immediately flew to his beloved to make an offer. Dumbfounded by all the events that had fallen, she gave her consent. To prevent Larionova from changing her mind, Rybnikov, taking advantage of his fame, literally dragged the employees of the registry office from the festive tables (there were May holidays) in the middle of the weekend. Seeing a pregnant, already late-term Larionova, they were painted on the same day, and the next happy Rybnikov went back to the shooting.

They agreed to cut Pereverzev out of his memory and never remember him again. Nikolai raised his daughter Alena as his own, and did not make any difference between her and his own daughter, who was born a little later - Arina. Neither word nor deed he reproached Alla.

Legends will circulate about her numerous novels, she will start intrigues “to sparkle her eyes” and disappear for a couple of days, but Rybnikov, realizing that he cannot live without her, will leave his wife’s behavior unattended.

After their death, family friends will tell: probably Larionova loved him even more than he did. After all, she was so worried about her husband, accepted his gloom and never left, breaking off any romantic ties as soon as the marriage was in jeopardy.

The daughter of actor Nikolai Rybnikov died 4 years after her mother. How it happened, a friend of their family told.

The most beautiful couple of Soviet film actors, Alla Larionova and Nikolai Rybnikov, were adored by all the inhabitants of the Soviet Union. Fans wrote letters, stood in queues at cinemas to see films with their participation ... It seemed that the life of a star family did not know dramas, but in fact they, like all people, knew pain and resentment, betrayal and disappointment. But never showed it to others. A close friend of the family, Svetlana Pavlova, remembers her friends with tenderness and love.

We met the friend of the Soviet cinema star Svetlana Arkadyevna in her cozy apartment, where photographs of the famous artist, whom the hostess idolized and protected until the very last days, are hung on the walls. Their friendship lasted more than thirty years and would have continued to this day if not for the death of a movie star ...

- We met Alla in 1968 on the set of the film "Kolka Pavlyukov's Long Day" directed by Konstantin Bromberg. It was a short film in three parts, where I worked as the director of the picture. At first we went to the Crimea, chose nature, filmed on the Sea of ​​Azov, in Kazantip. The director decided that Nikolai Rybnikov could play the main character perfectly, and set out to invite him to the shooting. And at that time Rybnikov was a very popular actor, constantly busy. And of course, the screen star was not eager to get this role. Nevertheless, Bromberg's proposal was accepted, however, with the wishes that his wife Alla Larionova get the female role. The famous actor explained this by the fact that he and his wife often act in different projects, rarely see each other and there are few at home, and their daughters are growing up. The eldest daughter Alena should go to the third grade, the youngest Arisha will become a first grader. And they really want to spend the summer together, with the whole family. Everything suited the director and I, and we rented a simple house for them on the shores of the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov. The owners of the house, Ukrainians, were happy that a star family settled in them.

Rybnikov was also pleased that every day he could be near his beloved girls - daughters Alena, Arisha and Lapusya, as he sometimes called his wife Alla. By the way, she was a wonderful hostess, she had specialties: dried mushroom caviar and amazingly delicious meatballs. Kolya was also a real owner, he had a garage with a basement. And there were barrels in which Rybnikov harvested tomatoes and watermelons in September. In November, Kolya and Alla gathered guests, and we opened the tomato season, tried what Kolya had cooked. They were completely devoid of stardom, although they were very famous actors.

On this shooting in Kazantip, we became friends. I remember how Alla and I raided neighboring villagers - it was then difficult to find unique things in the city. And the village people, apparently, did not appreciate foreign clothes. And there, in small shops, one could find something worthwhile. Alla and I bought both Finnish coats and foreign dresses. When we were going there, Kolya said: “Go buy something red! And then, if you don’t choose all the red ones, you won’t wait. ” Alla just adored this color. The cups at her house were red with white peas, the saucers were red, the candlestick was red. He then stood on my table for a long time when she died ...

For some reason, I now remembered how Alla once broke her collarbone. This was the year Vysotsky died. And then another festival was held in Moscow, Alla went to a rehearsal of her performance at the Oktyabr cinema on Novy Arbat. By the way, Alla and Kolya were very punctual people, it was easy to work with them, they came to the rehearsal or shooting a few minutes before the appointed time, they never acted up and, unlike other actors, were very disciplined. They had no stardom, they were earthly people, ordinary. So Alla came to "October", went on stage, and then wanted to go down to the auditorium, where they always make a descent from the benches. The hall had not yet been fully lit, but she, confident that there were steps, stepped... into the void...

There were no steps, and Alla fell. The ambulance immediately took her to the hospital. They put a cast on her and took her to a large bright ward. It was 1980, the Olympic year, and Alla was lying there alone. Kolya never went up to her, he came and asked her to come down to him. Rybnikov was so shy that he was afraid: if he gets up, then everyone will look at them, take autographs. It bothered him very much.

Alla was angry: “Kolya, people will think that we are in a quarrel!” But he still waited for her outside. When Alla was in the hospital, Kolya called me and said: "My joy (that's what he always called me), let's go to the market, buy mushrooms and roll them up for Alla's arrival." Kolya cooked borscht and jams in whole pots. And how we loved to make dumplings together: let's get together - Alla, Kolya, me, Nonna Mordyukova, Muza Krepkogorskaya, Oleg Chertov - and sculpt them from three types of meat.

It was not easy with groceries at that time, but the deputy director of a grocery store lived next door ... And so I, Nonna and Alla got into the car and drove to buy goods. There, in the store, behind a secret shield that moved away, we went to the warehouse. And what was there just not there: Finnish sausage, and Riga sprats, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers from Bulgaria ... Previously, it was almost impossible to get vegetables out of season, but here there were even strawberries. We loaded everything into the trunk and drove home. And Nonna once picked up canned food and said: “I’ll hide everything that I bring, so that when the guests arrive, Volodya’s son and his girlfriend Natasha don’t put it on the table. I will slowly give them out, not immediately! Kolya also had one friend - the head of the carpet section. And all the actors with his help bought carpets. Kolya was also an avid chess player, and probably all the famous grandmasters of that time stayed in their house. And he played with them. Guests always gathered in their apartment, they then lived in Maryina Roshcha, and the apartment was large, because they combined it from two, it was very comfortable with them, there was even a fireplace.

- Svetlana Arkadyevna, how did Nikolai Nikolayevich treat his daughters, because the eldest Alena was from the actor Ivan Pereverzev?

- Fine, he loved girls very much, and it seems to me that he loved Alena more than his Arisha. Although he did not show it, he tried to have no boundaries - this is his, this is not his. He loved Alena very much. Although Alla's mother, Valentina Alekseevna, had to raise the girls. And she was a zealous hostess, - Svetlana Arkadyevna laughed, - the parents will bring elegant dresses for the girls, and she will hide them until a convenient occasion, and when she decides to get them, it turns out that both Arina and Alena's things are already small. Alla, of course, scolded her mother for this.

Alena was more loved by dad, and Arisha by mom. The eldest was tougher, thick-skinned, as Alla called, and Arisha was kind, sympathetic, gentle. True, they studied, they both do not matter. In 1975, Alena graduated from school, and in order to have fewer triples in the certificate, Alla arranged a grand graduation party at the school. But where to send Alena to study further, Alla did not know. She decided to take her daughter to the VGIK exams and told her to learn the fable. But I advised my friend to give Alena as an editor's apprentice, this is a very interesting profession. The director shoots, selects duplicates, and from them you need to assemble a picture. And he does it with the editor. I had weight on television, was a leading specialist and attached Alena. But we must give Alena her due, she turned out to be a very diligent and talented student. Alla was able to knock out an apartment for her daughter next to Ostankino, so that it would be convenient for her to go to work. And Alena worked in this area for 35 years, everyone there loved her very much for her professionalism and calm character. Everyone knows her and the announcers, and the editors! After all, she went from a student to a respected editing director, and retired two years ago. Her personal life has developed, she has a husband Sasha, however, no children. Alena has suffered from psoriasis all her life, and every year she travels to Thailand, where the sun has a healing effect on her skin.

- Was Arisha completely different in character?

Yes, she was different. Her parents gave her an education, she graduated from a printing college. But the trouble is that Arisha is addicted to alcohol, they used to take her to banquets. And she seems to be used to it. When Kolya died, Alla, of course, was very worried, then her mother Valentina Alekseevna died. And she stayed with her daughter in a large apartment, but it was even physically impossible to live with Arina, her daughter did not work and could bring a company of “friends” at any time. Alla could not go anywhere to work, could not leave her unattended, but there were dashing 90s, no money, no work. There is nothing to live on, everything collapsed, the movie was not filmed. It was very difficult. Alla's heart began to play pranks. And I had a neighbor who wanted to exchange his two two-room apartments for one large one, and I advised Alla to think about this proposal. Alla and Arina thought about it and decided to leave, my girlfriend became my neighbor, and Arina became the mistress of a two-room apartment near the Kosmos cinema. Alla moved her belongings, but before she had time to sort them out, she went on tour to America and Israel with the play "Deceit, money, love." Vyacheslav Shalevich called her, and she went to earn money. I also broke through to her a dacha next to mine and began building houses on both sites.

Alla came and went, worked a lot, she didn’t even have time to sort things out, the whole apartment was full. And her heart was already starting to hurt, she called me and said that she was not well. She lived on the sixth floor, I came by the elevator and took her to me, then she lay down on the couch, and I called an ambulance. And she was taken to Sklif, I, of course, accompanied her. I even had her money in a bundle, she earned it and gave it to me for safekeeping. Then Alla and I made a renovation in her apartment, connected a large room with a kitchen. We bought her a bedroom set and wardrobes, she loved the white color in the interior. Alla was already preparing for a housewarming party, and I went on vacation to Egypt. I bought her a golden scarab with turquoise as a charm. I returned on the eve of Palm Sunday and found out that Larionova went to a performance in Istra and that she became ill there, the doctors insisted on hospitalization, but Alla went home. If I knew! They had to scare her and not let her out of the hospital.

But she returned home, we met at our mutual friend and neighbor Tatyana, talked, and then went to me. I gave Alla a gift, and she said that on Tuesday morning she should go to a good doctor. I measured her pressure and offered to call an ambulance, but she refused, said she needed to rest. She liked to smoke while watching TV. We agreed to call on Tuesday, because Arisha was supposed to come for her and accompany her to the doctor. But on Tuesday, instead of Arisha, her roommate Volodya came, who also drank and called Alla mom. He knocked and rang the door of Alla's apartment, but she did not open it. I grabbed the keys to Allina's apartment, I had them, and ran there. But the lock was closed from the inside and it was not possible to open the door ...

Alla's neighbor said that she went out on the balcony at three in the morning to smoke. But nobody answered my phone calls, nobody opened the door. We had to call the Ministry of Emergency Situations. The door was opened ... - Svetlana Arkadyevna sighed bitterly, as if she had again been transferred to that tragic day. - Alla was lying on her right side, her hands under her cheek, she apparently died in her sleep. She had a cardiac arrest...

“And Arisha died four years later.

- Yes ... At that time, Alena was on vacation in Turkey, it seems, and Arisha's girlfriend, who worked as a house painter, called me, used to drink, but she was sewn up. She says to me: “Svetlana Arkadyevna, I just went into Arisha’s apartment, a drunken company is sitting there and Arisha is dead.” I called the police, called Arina's roommate Volodya to find out where she was taken. Having learned everything, I went to the morgue and found out that even the funeral had already been scheduled. I began to figure out how. Alena is on vacation, I don’t know anything, the cohabitant too, but someone is already preparing the documents. The nurse showed me a letter that someone was taking over the funeral of Arina Rybnikova. Apparently, these were black realtors, but they did not know that Arina had long written a donation for the apartment, bequeathing it to her sister.

Arisha during his lifetime someone called, threatened. And she made sure. I made a noise. She said that I work on television and the sister of the deceased too, we will arrange it for you now, it won’t seem enough. I found the realtor’s phone number, called and said: “If I don’t have Arisha’s passport in two hours, I’m going to the prosecutor’s office!” She was frightened, ran, brought the documents. I scolded her, scared her and took away Arisha's passport. I went to the Bauman morgue and canceled everything. Then Alena's husband Sasha and I went to the Elokhov Church and ordered a funeral service. Sasha worked as a driver in a bank, he had no money, but I had 19 thousand saved up, and we paid for flowers, a coffin, a funeral service.

And two days later Alena came back from vacation, and we saw off Arisha on her last journey. So only Alena and the memory of them remained from the Rybnikov family. You know, I used to love to change earrings, but now I wear the same ones, with turquoise, which Alla gave me. Tenants now live in Alla's apartment, I don't go there anymore.

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 her neck, Fathers and Sons, Twelfth Night ... And already in the eighties she was forced to earn extra money in extras and live from bread to water. How did it turn out that way, especially since Larionova's husband was the no less famous actor Nikolai Rybnikov?

It is brilliant to start your life and end it in poverty and obscurity - many Soviet actresses have gone through such a path. 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, Arisha. 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 of the famous actress began to disappear. 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 students could not pay a large amount to participate 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 is at the 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 the former beauty in Larionova ... Her last work was the play Cunning, Money and Love, which was a huge success in the late nineties. Just in it, Alla Dmitrievna took the stage for the last time. At the end of the performance, she addressed the audience with these words:

“When it comes time 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 out, 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 at the end of the divorce from director Ivan Pyriev, who ruled in Soviet cinema at that time ... But the only son of the actress says that she was offered roles later, but her nasty 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.
