Her life was full of secrets.
Valentina Telegina became famous for her numerous roles of mothers, grandmothers and nannies. The actress appeared mainly in episodes, but each time she created vivid images. So the role of the “Russian collective farm woman” was assigned to Telegina. Fans were sure that Valentina Petrovna was in reality the same kind woman with an open soul. However, the truth turned out to be somewhat different.
Telegina never married, but she had a daughter, Nadezhda. The actress hid the identity of her father until the end of her days. And today, the only thing known about the heiress of Valentina Petrovna is that she was born after the war. There is also a version that Nadezhda is the daughter of artistic director Alexander Pergament, with whom Telegina allegedly had an affair.
The relationship of the actress with the heiress did not work out. Valentina Petrovna disappeared on the set and did not care about Nadezhda at all. The girl grew like a weed and eventually ran away from home. She did not communicate with her mother for many years, and only Telegina’s serious illness reconciled them.
It turns out that in reality the actress was far from the image of a caring grandmother.
