In his youth, the artist could give odds to Hollywood beauties.
Ilya Oleinikov has not been with us for more than ten years. The star made the audience laugh together with Yuri Stoyanov in the program “Town”. In the hearts of the audience, the artist was remembered as a cheerful mustache, whose thick hair above his lip was the envy of oriental beauties. Few people remember the actor clean-shaven.
Oleynikov came up with his famous image already in adulthood. In her youth, the future star looked completely different. In this beardless, round-faced boy with plump lips, it is difficult to recognize the founder of the “Gorodok” program.
Back in 1968, the actor starred in Oleg Nikolaevsky’s musical comedy “Trembita”.
Young Ilya Oleynikov played a cameo role as a resident of a Carpathian village named Mikhasya. In the frame, the guy says only one phrase. It is unlikely that the director imagined that the supporting actor would become a real star in the 90s, otherwise he would have given him more screen time.
