They couldn’t find anyone better for this role.
Margarita Terekhova is considered the ideal Milady. The actress, according to fans of the Soviet “Three Musketeers,” fits perfectly into the picture. Viewers cannot even imagine anyone else in the place of the star.
Fans of the film are not embarrassed that Alexandre Dumas intended the heroine to be a little different. At the very least, the age does not match: Terekhova played Milady when she was 36 years old. But according to the book, the heroine is a maximum of 25. Agree, the difference is quite noticeable. And it’s clear from the actress that she is already “too old” for the role of a young girl. But this does not mean that the star did a bad job. It’s not for nothing that her Milady admires not only Russians, but also foreigners.
By the way, the other actors in The Three Musketeers were also older than their heroes. Thus, 29-year-old Mikhail Boyarsky reincarnated as a very young D’Artagnan, and Veniamin Smekhov was considerably older than his Athos. But both of them played their roles so well that you don’t even think about such little things.
