Tatyana Samoilova
“You don’t have to go into this profession. It needs special forces – mental, emotional. You don’t have them.” So said the father of the future celebrity Tatyana Samoilova, and at the same time to her brother Alexei, who also chose the acting path as a result. Tatyana really paid a serious price for her choice. On May 4, the remarkable artist turns 89 years old.
“I had surgery on my lung”
Tatyana Evgenievna had poor health since childhood. She herself realized: “War is sickness. I’m a child of the war – I was ill with typhus, measles, diphtheria.
Samoilova remembered how the measles ended for her until the end of her life: “I buried the groom. And I was barely alive. Then the lungs and heart hurt.
Father did not just dissuade Tatyana from going into actresses. Yevgeny Samoilov was an actor himself, he knew how much a pound was worth. But he could not overcome his daughter’s craving for dramatic art.
Tatyana entered Shchukinskoye. We see her amazing work in the films The Cranes Are Flying, The Unsent Letter, Anna Karenina and others.
Samoilova was already an actress and married for the first time when a new and terrible misfortune happened. Vasily Lanovoy was ready for anything for his young wife when she fell ill with tuberculosis at the age of 23.
Tatyana Evgenievna did not hide:
“I had surgery on my lung and damaged the pleura. Vasya came to me with strawberries. And I said, “I don’t want anything else.” The illness took a toll on me physically. I just wanted peace.”
Having become pregnant with twins, Samoilova had an abortion. Her family happiness with Vasily collapsed. Officially, the actress got married twice more. But it was Lanovoy that she called the greatest love of her life.
“Sister with horror, without blinking, looked ahead of her”
For the first time, Tatyana found herself in a hospital with a nervous breakdown after her brother Alexei was hit in the chest with a stiletto in a yard skirmish. They doubted that the hot fellow would last until the morning.
Before that, Samoilova starred in several films that were very difficult for her. And then there are things like that in the family. The body of the artist could not stand it and failed.
“The sister with horror, without blinking, looked ahead of her. When they came home from the hospital, Tanya hid in a corner and sat there, not reacting to anything, ”said Alexei Samoilov.
I had to call an ambulance. When Alexei recovered, he found Tatyana in the most deplorable state. Moreover, at that time they were not very good at treating all kinds of neuroses.
“What did they do to you, Tanya?!” I whispered when I saw a sister in a psychiatric hospital, who, not recognizing, walked past me with misty glass eyes. Subsequently, she was in these institutions twice a year, and three times during exacerbations. And sometimes the disease could not manifest itself for a year, or two, or five, and then life went on as usual, ”recalled the brother of the famous actress.
“It doesn’t matter that it’s all gone, it matters what happened”
The last time the audience saw Samoilova on the screen was in 2009, in a small role in the social drama Nirvana. Five years remained before the death of the star of the painting “The Cranes Are Flying”.
The personal life of Tatyana Evgenievna did not really work out. She was left alone. The only son Dmitry, who received the profession of a radiologist, settled in America. They slandered that the brother rarely visited the artist. Employees of the Mercy Service were assigned to her.
Samoilova had serious memory problems. Tatyana Evgenievna was twice searched for throughout Moscow. Found in the hospital. The artist was tormented by respiratory diseases.
Samoilova tried to be brave. She used to say about the best years of her life: “It doesn’t matter that it’s all gone, it’s important that it happened.” On the day of her 80th birthday, the legendary woman was taken to intensive care. Her heart refused to serve her.
Doctors failed to delay the finale. Tatyana Evgenievna Samoilova found her last refuge at the Novodevichy Cemetery.
