Truly popular actress Nonna Mordyukova, whose biography is full of interesting and dramatic facts, has become a symbol of the era. Her outstanding talent was noticed by great directors even at the time of admission to school. A simple Kuban Cossack woman not only struck the world with the breadth of her soul, but also became famous for her complex character. The celebrity of actress Nonna Mordyukova is indisputable - this was confirmed by the English Encyclopedia of Cinematography, enrolling Nonna Mordyukova in the top ten actresses in the world. Surprisingly, in the Russian Grand Encyclopedia there are no such well-known films with her participation as "Chairman", "The Wedding of Balzaminov", "Diamond Arm", "Commissioner", "Rodnya", "Mama". There is no prophet in his own country ...
The last three years, actress Nona Mordyukova did not have the opportunity to earn even concerts. She said that she would like to be removed, but they did not offer good roles. Pensions, according to Mordyukova, I grab only food and medicine. With her biggest loss of life, she considered the divorced marriage with Vyacheslav Tikhonov, the death of their common son Vladimir from an overdose of drugs and strained relations to the last day, not only with his former daughter-in-law, Natalya Varley, but also with her grandson. In general, life through tears. Only in recent years, the actress was able to live with dignity - if it can be called that. Six years before her death, Nonna Viktorovna received a three-room apartment on the first floor of a panel house in Krylatskoye. Mordyukova lived with her sister Natalia. I never considered myself strong, I had a lot of poster. "My sister is suffering from me, she does not know where to go from my tears," said the actress.
Noyabrina (the name of Nonna Viktorovna, recorded in the metric at birth) was born in the Kuban, in Konstantinovka, in the family of the Communists. This village, she considered her homeland and even remembered the address of her first house - Krasina Street, house 6. She arrived in Moscow at the end of the war, in 1945. Settled in the hostel VGIK. In the second year she played Ulyana Gromova in the "Young Guard" Sergei Gerasimov. In one of her recent interviews, Nonna Viktorovna said:
- I was 21 years old. "Young Guard" in the 48th became the leader of the rental. It was seen by 80 million people. I became famous. The role of Volodya Osmukhin was played by the young Glory Tikhonov. Then he was also 21 years old. We got married, we had a son. When we graduated from VGIK, we were evicted from the hostel. It was necessary to wander through the apartment of friends with a two-year-old son in his arms. Glory went to the shooting, and I - in the State Committee ask for a living space for the family. We were given a passage room in a barrack. I immediately wrote to Slava that life is improving, we have a corner, and now the weight will be just fine. Tikhonov returned from filming, saw an "apartment" (as he pictured it) and was horrified. He accused me of being weak-minded and stupid enough to accept this "home". Then he offended me, brought me to tears. By the beginning of the sixties, our marriage retained only visible well-being. We became strangers with Slava. The family could collapse at any moment. And it happened. On the second day after the death of my mother, we decided to divorce. We lived together for 12 years, then decided to go on separately.
Once Nonna Mordyukova called Urmas Ott and offered to participate in his "Dialogues". It is he who in his telecast will ask: "Nonna Viktorovna, but how did it happen that you, the People's Artist, still live in a one-room Khrushchev?" Mordyukova replied: "But I do not know. I can not ask the authorities. " And she joked: "I'll write at UNESCO ..." In "Dialogues" she frankly told that she was terribly poor. Among the viewers was Viktor Chernomyrdin, who phoned Paris chairman of the Union of Cinematographers Nikita Mikhalkov: "What are you? You Mordyukova in a one-room apartment lives, a tiny pension gets! And in order that in three days everything will be fixed and I was personally informed! "As a result, Mordyukova received an apartment on the Autumn Boulevard, near the famous Yeltsin's house. "Previously, in an old apartment, everyone recognized me," said the actress, "now I'm walking, I'll find out everything: Misha Zadornov, Korzhakov, Luzhkov-she's neighbors ... Denis Evstigneev came to me on a housewarming party. He, instead of a bunch of roses, pressed to his chest a dandy washing machine. So my life has improved. "
The last three years Mordyukova often lay in the Kremlin hospital. The chamber in CDB seemed very cold to her: "Though I will moan, shout - I will not go to hospital longer! There is no urine there ". She was warmer at home, in a paneled apartment block: "At first she was frightened: oh, Krylatskoe, so far away - and now I'm used to it. The apartment is quiet, warm, made European-quality repair. I'm so happy with my apartment! On the first floor - I myself chose to have green outside the window. You will open - a lilac, a jasmin, all blossoms. Because of the foliage, it's true, it's dark in the country, but I do not let the bushes be cut down. Of course, I do not need more! I have never lived such a life. Only I thought: no, they are already too much - three-room! And you know, I got three rooms, so my apartment problem was solved! I'm allotted! One room - TV, sofa, ashtray, sit-talk. The other, the little one, is my bedroom. It's nice there, there are flowers. I like houseplants and drown in them like a berry. And the third room is the living room. "
"Once, for participation in the New Year's flame, I was presented with a white and gold Italian bedroom -" For services to the Fatherland! "- recalled the actress - seeing a huge bed with all sorts of sleeping trinkets, I immediately found:" Then look for your husband! "But it was not to laughter. I was still living in a one-room apartment. At home, even my heart took: "Where should I put this bed?" I decided to put it on the loggia and cover it with a film, - then to give to one of my brothers. And then a thought came to my mind: "The address and phone number of the store are on the label, and the bed is still" not frail "!" I agreed with the director of the store and my bedroom was taken away. I was given $ 15,000, and it was worth the Italian, a miracle $ 17000 ($ 2000 was taken as a penalty). Another $ 5,000 was given to me for the publication of my book, five more for advertising of working clothes, everyone remembers these videos, where I am on sleepers ... In sum, I had $ 25,000, the pinnacle of my financial success in life. But with my character, money began to spread quickly - I helped my kindred a lot. Nevertheless, inexpensive furniture for a new apartment, I had enough money. " Mordyukova complained: "I have never aspired to a fashionable life." The most popular actress could not boast of luxurious surroundings, but was loved by the whole country.
In recent years, the actress reluctantly gave interviews, but, answering questions, was extremely sincere.
- If I got two tickets to heaven, I would give the second ticket to my son, whom I could meet in paradise with. Too early, I lost it.
- The last time I was ashamed in 1955. I was offered money for nothing. For the presence at the event. I do not know what money there was, but the actress Inna Makarova told me then: "You're a fool, everyone has already got it." And Gurchenko added: "They all have no money to put this money." I answered her: "I will never take such a job."
- I'll never forget how I went to the Institute of Cinematography. I asked the Admission Committee: "What should you do?" Well, they: "Read at least something." I: "From the newspaper, or what?" I do not want". They looked at me like an idiot. Well, then I rubanula: "Give me my certificate of maturity, I'll go on to continue to marshall." And they laughed! And they accepted without any of my speeches.
"The last time I cried when I heard a rumor that I had multiple sclerosis.
"For nothing in life, I would not become idle.
- I am disgusted with the kind of people who, with their clothes and manners, want to depart from their origin, their homeland, do not want to be natural.
- My life would have been much more successful, if in my personal life I had happiness. And then I and Tikhonov a little life did not destroy, and she alone remained. You know, when I was ill with bronchitis, I lay with a temperature of 39.5 except brothers and sisters, I had no one to regret. And I thought to write to Tikhonov and his wife a letter: "Take me for God's sake."
- I would not want my relatives to know that as a child I kissed Kolka Gorsky - a sailor older than me for 10 years. I was 13 then. It happened on the Azov Sea. We skated together. He hugged me and forcibly kissed me right on the lips. It became so scary. It seemed that he wanted to drown me.
"For the first time my life disappointed me when the institute received mediocrity. And the girls who came on foot on sleepers, stayed out of the boat.
- If I were not an actress, I would certainly become a singer. I have an equal passion for acting and for music. At school on the graduation evening, I played Beethoven's First Sonata.
- My joke was not understood when one day at a rehearsal my partner did not get one scene. Then I went up to her and screamed: "Born to crawl can not fly!" I thought that I had joked successfully. I turned around and saw that she was lying and crying. I still repent.
- I still feel sorry for the fact that I married, not having thought this question. Fell in love and ran.
- I was absolutely happy on the day when I was given the People's Artist of the USSR.
- The greatest difficulty that I had to overcome in my life was a ticketless journey from the collective farm to the Kazan railway station in a freight car of a train. All this way in the 45th. A hunger strike, a war.
"Once I was rescued by an accidental machinist." At night on the way to the hostel, I crossed railway sleepers. I was 18. To meet me the boys: "And here is a good girl!" I realized that it smells of kerosene. Nearby, the train was repaired by an unknown man who screamed at them all with his own cry. And on another occasion four people attacked me. I was already pushed, and I lay on my back. They already crowded over me. And suddenly my hand bicycle moves. This guy was driving. He turned out to be a sailor. He saved me from them.
