The boy’s relatives took care of him.
The beautiful Natalya Fateeva was known as a woman with an icy heart. In her personal life, she was authoritative and strict, and the actress’s three children received virtually no attention from her. She dumped the kids on ex-husbands or grandmothers – just so as not to be left alone with them. And when the time came to become a grandmother, the artist sent her grandson to a boarding school.
When the star’s 16-year-old daughter became pregnant with the son of cameraman Mikhail Koroptsov, Fateeva categorically ordered her to write a refusal letter from the baby. The child was sent to an orphanage, but Koroptsov and his wife were able to pick him up. The young father himself did not even know about the child: he managed to serve in the army.
The boy was named Evgeniy and given his parent’s surname. He followed in his grandfather’s footsteps and graduated from VGIK, becoming a famous cameraman. Today he is already approaching forty. The abandoned grandson of the star grew up handsome, had two children and is building a successful career.
