The meeting was almost like an Indian movie.
Creative dynasties are not such a rare phenomenon. But it happens that two relatives become famous without even knowing about each other’s existence. This happened with Larisa Dolina. Only in 2021 did she find out that the whole country knew her lost sister.
It turned out that the singer’s mother is a cousin of Irina Apeksimova’s mother. When the actress began acting in films in the mid-eighties, her second sister was already a famous artist throughout the USSR.
Irina herself knew about the connections between them since childhood, but there was no opportunity to introduce herself to a famous relative. Only when both celebrities took part in the show “Two Stars” did the actress tell Dolina about their connection. The singer was shocked, but tried to establish communication with her relative. Today they are not only friends, but also often work together. Irina runs the Taganka Theater, where she invites Larisa Alexandrovna to perform.
