In her last days the great actress Anna Samokhina asked about one thing - that they would not arrange a national funeral service, let her be remembered as beautiful, strong and cheerful. Popular popularity Anna Samokhina received after the release of the film "Thieves in the Law", where she played the main role. Spectators remember the fatal beauty of Rita on high heels, in a mini-skirt and with a decollete, confidently walking along the embankment of Sochi to the music of Bizet. After the premiere, the morning newspapers called Samokhin a sex symbol of Soviet cinema. This title she did not give up for many years ... But all this is a game, and what was the actress in life?
Prove to yourself and him! Anna was born in the town of Guryevsk, Kemerovo region of Russia. Soon the family moved to Cherepovets. Childhood in the future movie star was not easy: Samokhins lived in a family hostel, my father drank a lot, and my mother almost alone raised two daughters. In the year when Anya went to first grade, her father died.
She grew up as an obstinate child and did everything wrong. And the actress was outraged to a young man named Herman, his first love. He broke her heart, abandoning and leaving for Moscow. Later, becoming famous, the great actress Anna Samokhina confessed that she wanted to show Herman whom he had lost. True, she did not see him again.
So at the age of 14 she left for Yaroslavl - to enter the theater school. Lermontov read Lomontov at the examinations, but she was suddenly stopped: "Enough!" I thought that they would not take me, I was afraid to even come close to the lists of those who had arrived. I did not know that she was enrolled almost immediately - a talented and prominent entrant liked all the masters.
Towel - to a clean path
The actress was married three times. The first time she left at age 16 - for a classmate at the school of Alexander Samokhin. 24-year-old handsome, he enjoyed the rabid success of the girls. The great actress Anna Samokhin, who used to seek her own way, encouraged it, and she literally fell in love with him. Despite her early marriage, she studied for five, and classmates, loving, called her "little star." After graduating from the school, the young people were distributed in the Youth Theater of Rostov-on-Don, and a year later they had a daughter, Sasha.
Anna once said that she loves to play the role of women, endowed with numerous vices, although in life she was a peaceful person and did not suffer scandals. "Scratching the floor with dirty boots is a trifle," she said. "And it will be difficult to wash it off."
The news of the talented actress also reached the Moscow directors. We started to invite to the role - one of the first became Mercedes in the film of George Jungvald, Khilkevich "Prisoner of the castle If." When they announced that it had been approved, all of their friends had gathered in their small room in the hostel. They spread a towel on the floor, and Anna, barefoot, walked along it, wiping her feet. According to the acting tradition, this meant that a new, clean path started.
Medicine from despair
After the debut, her career went up. The next work was Yuri Kara's film "Thieves in the Law", which brought the actress national glory. But success in creative work has dragged along problems in family life. After 15 years, the marriage broke up due to the formed stagnation, a routine that the actress hated fiercely. Therefore, I gladly accepted the invitation to work at the Leningrad Lenin Komsomol Theater. Alexander, in turn, left his acting career and went into business. However, the former spouses always kept friendly relations.
With the second husband, Dmitry, Anna met in 1992 in his cooperative cafe. In the past, a physicist, Dmitry in the dashing 1990s, was forced to engage in cooperative public catering - he alone raised a three-year-old daughter. No wonder Anna saw him as a support and protection. In 1995, Dmitry helped her open a restaurant in Graf Suvorov in St. Petersburg, and a little later, the "Lieutenant Rzhevsky". Anna was so carried away by business that she almost forgot about theater and cinema. Things moved briskly: customers were all St. Petersburg nobility ...
But this union disintegrated after 8 years. "Skorpalitelnye marriage is doomed to failure," - recalled the actress. She returned to Moscow, where she agreed to play with Dmitry Astrakhan in the movie "You have me alone", but because of problems with funding and illness of her partner in the role of Dmitry Kharatyan, the project was postponed. Anna was in despair. I called an old friend named Eugene, told about the failures. He listened attentively and promised to call in for a serious conversation. It turned out that Eugene had long been in love with her and was driving with the intention of not parting with her ever again! So a new romance broke out: according to the actress, the third husband filled her life with new colors ...
But in 2006 she again divorced: "All, no more marriages! Living together is a huge work. And I'm independent, I do not like to compromise. "
The last role
On January 14, 2008, the great actress Anna Samokhina magnificently celebrated her 45th birthday. Friends enjoyed the beauty of the "eternally young Anna", as it was called in the theatrical circles of St. Petersburg. At the jubilee, the actress glowed, looked incredibly happy, and nothing foreshadowed the tragedy.
The pains in the stomach began to torment suddenly. Before the trip with her daughter to rest in India Anna went to get vaccinated, at the same time and examined. The diagnosis of "cancer" sounded like a bolt from the clear sky, but the actress took it bravely, did not give up, went to a painful treatment ...
In the ward of the clinic, where she was put, allowed only the closest and dearest people - daughter, mother and sister. Once she confessed to them that she had seen the guardian angel and even talked with him. Alas, the miracle did not happen ...
In four months the premiere of Roman Kachanov's film "Alias for the Hero" will take place, in which Anna played her last role.
