The guest of the new edition of Boris Korchevnikov's program is producer Sergei Senin, the sixth and last husband of the famous actress Lyudmila Gurchenko. Sergei spent 18 years of his life with her. She was dying in his arms. Since then, he has spoken very little about their relationship, almost never gave interviews and never told what it was like to live in the shadow of a great actress.

Sergei Senin remembered that their first meeting took place in 1990. Then he, together with his friend, opened an independent film company, and director Elena Nikolaeva suggested that he make a film based on Nabokov. On the leading role took Lyudmila Gurchenko. The result of their work was the painting "Sex Tale". Gurchenko and Senin often met on film set, but at that time there was no talk of any relationship - the actress was married, and he was married.

But fate brought them together again and again. Later, Sergei divorced his first wife Galina, and she and her daughter moved to Israel. Somehow she called him and offered to hold a tour of "Sekskazka" there, so that Lyudmila Gurchenko would perform. "I was delighted because there was a reason to dial Lucy's phone number," recalls Senin. The actress was given a small fee, so Sergey was sure that she would refuse. But, to his surprise, Gurchenko agreed - at that time she was worried hard divorce with her husband, so she went to work ...

As a result, it turned out that Sergei's first wife pushed him to get closer to Lyudmila. Although Senin himself is sure that it all started much earlier, because it was thanks to Galina that he generally went to work in cinema: “If I hadn’t married Galya, maybe today I would have taught some kind of hydromechanics or something like that.”

After the tour to Israel, the paths of Sergei and Lyudmila diverged for a while, but then somehow there was a telephone conversation between them and Gurchenko shared with him that she had an idea for a musical picture. The actress invited Senin to meet if he was interested in taking part in this. Sergey recalled that at that moment he thought: "I will do everything. I will sell everything in the world to do this."

Later, when they had already begun to live together, they just didn’t write about Sergei Senin - they called him a gigolo, a swindler. After all, he is a quarter of a century younger than the actress. He himself comments on the difference in age: “Trust me, I didn’t feel it at all. Gurchenko was out of age, out of time, absolutely modern man. It's very easy with her. I was the eldest in our family with her.

Problems with Gurchenko's daughter, Maria, also became a difficult page in their relationship. She refused to communicate with her mother, and after her death she began to share the inheritance with Senin. But, as Sergey said, now they communicate well, and the situation has settled down. It’s just that Maria is a very gullible person, and next to her were not very smart and well-mannered people (whose names Senin did not name), who brought everything to a quarrel. "What a blessing that Lucy did not see all this. This is madness!" Sergei commented.

She was married five times, had many admirers. Her stormy, passionate and amorous nature, as Lyudmila Gurchenko admitted, demanded a way out. And her many men were in some way temporary fireflies who flew to a bright light to bask in its rays and show themselves.

Today it is no secret to anyone that they often very skillfully used Lyudmila Markovna's popular fame, extracting considerable benefits for their personal person. However, Gurchenko was never a “whipping girl”. She had a strong and domineering character, sometimes capricious to indecent. And I must admit that living together with a star was far from sugary.

Vasily Ordynsky

The first lover of eighteen-year-old Lucy was film director Vasily Ordynsky. Gurchenko met him in her second year at VGIK.

The romance that ensued between them lasted no more than a year. For Lyudmila, everything that happened remained, as it were, behind the scenes, just a touch in the beginning biography of the actress. There is no doubt: there was a certain benefit in these relations.

Vasily Ordynsky even invited her to play the lead role in one of his films. But the members of the artistic council, observing the honor and conscience of Soviet cinema, gave a complete refusal to the young actress. And yet the status of "passion" of a fairly well-known director made itself felt. Otherwise, she would not have been invited to the main role in Eldar Ryazanov's film "Carnival Night", which brought phenomenal success and national recognition to Lyudmila Gurchenko.

Boris Andronikashvili

Parting with Ordynsky was easy and painless. Soon on her life path met Boris Andronikashvili - a student of the screenwriting department of VGIK, a recognized idol of the girls of the course, with an irresistible appearance. Lyudmila, without knowing it herself, succumbed to the spell of a spectacular young man and married him. Boris became the first official husband of Gurchenko and the father of the only daughter of the actress - Masha. After two years of joint family life they broke up: "ice and fire" in the relationship turned out to be completely incompatible.

“FROM CHILDHOOD, I FALLED IN LOVE AT ALL CROSSROADS AND IN ALL CINEMA HEROES, IF “HE HAD TEETH YAK CHALK, VUSY YAK AT BUDENAGA.” IN SHORT, IN ALL "DARK EAGLES". IN THE INSTITUTE I FALLED IN LOVE ON EVERY FLOOR. PASSED BEAUTY - EK HEART! BUT WAS DISAPPOINTED QUICKLY. AND SUDDENLY FALLED IN LOVE. FALL IN LOVE, REALLY.

Lyudmila Gurchenko later recalled this marriage in her book “Lucy, stop!”.

“With this young man, we approached each other like in a song:“ You and I are two banks of the same river. This is visible from the present bell tower, but then ...

Despite his refined appearance, from which you initially do not expect anything deep, he was a complex person with a set of extraordinary qualities - large and small. All his pockets were filled with rare books interspersed with newspapers and magazines. I read everything in the world. He had a special sense of humor.

He believed that his personal criticism was the most accurate and original. Distinguished by musicality, masculine charm.

“Everything in it was out of reach for me. And vice versa. He treated my profession with irony. He considered a musical picture-comedy to be a spectacle far from art. Well, success with the public ... When I got into a field that was not “my own” (I was interested in his complex screenwriting profession), I was always amazed at how much irony my “jump” from a frivolous, primitive acting life into his mysterious world caused in him ... sometimes he skillfully knew how to live side by side, being only on his own shore. With incredible willpower, I had to learn to live alone together ... site www.wday.ru

Unexpected Lucy: rare photos Ludmila Gurchenko

On November 12, the beloved actress would have turned 80 years old.

Her husband Sergei Senin shared rare archival footage with Antenna and Woman's Day.

1993, frame from the film "I Love".

“This is our second joint work with Lyusya,” says Sergey Senin. - The musical picture was her old idea, and I found an opportunity to implement it. Filmed by Fyodor Sergeevich Bondarchuk. Lucy always addressed Fedor by name and patronymic. The artists were Boris Krasnov and Valentin Yudashkin. Operator - Mikhail Mukasey. The television premiere took place in new year's eve. This picture is a benefit performance: songs and monologues.

Lyudmila Markovna dreamed of being a musical film actress. Her greatest pain and longing for her profession was that, unfortunately, in our country, Lyusin's musical talent was not in demand. She was calm about her even best dramatic roles, believing that any other good actresses could play them. And here's the musical! It was a dream...

Approximately 1939-1940.

— Lucy in kindergarten in Kharkov. “My first fiance Semochka,” she smiled, looking at the photo. Here he is sledding her.

Her father was the most precious person to her. This photo in his book “Lucy, stop!” she signed as follows: "From an early age, I carefully listened to my father's instructions."

In the minds of ordinary people, she was and remains a people's artist. Yes, the bohemia did not favor her, referring to the difficult nature of the great prima, quarrelsomeness and directness of judgments. Lyudmila Gurchenko responded in the same way: she did not know how to live in the middle and her attacks, devoid of any diplomacy, were distinguished by harshness, the ability to injure an opponent in the most vulnerable place. Sometimes it seemed that her famous “five minutes” would last forever: the star of Soviet and Russian cinema has always been in great shape.

Of course, this circumstance greatly influenced the men who fell into the orbit of her charm. A smart, seductive star woman loved without a trace, which sometimes could not be said about those whom she chose with her heart. Today we will talk about the men who played different roles in her fate and determined to some extent the course of the life of a brilliant actress.

Relationship with Vasily Ordynsky, one might say, the first unofficial husband of Lyudmila Gurchenko is still shrouded in a veil of secrecy. For the first time he saw her at the VGIK course. And the "freaky" girl from Kharkov sunk into his heart so much that the already famous director fell madly in love with a young student. The age difference did not bother Vasily Ordynsky at all, he seemed to be experiencing a second youth. A close relationship with Lyusya Gurchenko became known to his entourage. And when Ordynsky offered her for the lead role in his film A Man Is Born, the artistic council "stood to the death" in defense of Soviet morality and almost unanimously rejected Gurchenko's candidacy.

They were together for a little more than a year. And which of them was the first to decide to leave, has not been clarified. According to rumors that roamed in abundance behind the scenes of the artistic world, Vasily Ordynsky did this, reluctantly and suffering. Perhaps he secretly continued to love Lyudmila Gurchenko and secretly help her in her career.

As soon as the excitement and passion around the young artist subsided, and her romance with Ordynsky began to be forgotten, how Lyudmila Gurchenko presents a new surprise to the respectable public. She unexpectedly marries a screenwriting student Boris Andronikashvili whom she met on the course and started a stormy romance. Her school friends enviously bit their elbows and never ceased to be surprised: why did such a little bitch from Kharkov take a hand-written handsome man? And Eldar Ryazanov himself spotted this "fuck" and invited her to the role of Lenochka Krylova in the famous film "Carnival Night".

Marriage with Andronikashvili did not bring the expected family happiness to Lyudmila. Even the daughter Maria, who was born, did not hold it together, it collapsed literally before Gurchenko's eyes. Boris often disappeared from home, his betrayals were reported " best friends» Lyudmila. Figuratively speaking, in the space of her feelings, he became foreign body: beautiful - and alien. However, that's how it was. Like Narcissus, Boris reveled in his appearance and love successes, until he suddenly discovered that the unexpected nationwide fame of his wife, the on-screen Lenochka Krylova, greatly hurt his male pride. And so he tried with petty nit-picking, almost with insults, to recoup his lost chances in his career. The divorce was difficult and was not easy for Lyudmila Gurchenko. For the first time in her life, she realized that sacrificial love in most cases brings only misfortune and suffering.

“... He somehow talentedly knew how to live nearby, being only on his own shore. With incredible willpower, I had to learn to live alone together ... ”, - she later recalled in her book “Lucy, stop!” Ludmila Gurchenko.

About the second official husband - Alexander Fadeev Jr. only one thing could be said: as a spouse, he accidentally "stuck" on the life path of Lyudmila Gurchenko. Yes, and they met rather strangely: in the WTO restaurant - a favorite place of Moscow bohemia. A short acquaintance was enough for Lyudmila Gurchenko to marry him soon. The new chosen one of the actress (also an actor) did not have enough stars from the sky, he had enough laurels of his father's glory to exist in this world freely and comfortably. And the adopted son of a famous Soviet writer made good use of this. He was a frequenter of restaurants, for generous tips he was adored by young waitresses. The celebration of life for Alexander lasted from morning to night. And so the question arose: how could such a “busy” person become a support in the family, substitute a strong male shoulder in case of trouble. Gurchenko soon realized her mistake - and divorced. Two years of marriage could be considered an unfortunate dash in their fate ...

marriage between Iosif Kobzon and Lyudmila Gurchenko, according to existing Soviet standards, could be considered ideal. Two stars at the peak of their popularity were quite capable of creating an exemplary family with high cultural demands. Yes, and they all started romantically: a fleeting meeting in the corridor of the All-Union Theater Society predetermined future relations. Joseph knew how to take care of women, and he found the "key" to his heart star woman. And it seemed to many fans of the talent of Kobzon and Gurchenko that this family marriage would be long and happy. True, they did not suspect that sometimes life under the same roof of two remarkable people results in a war of characters. It happened this time as well. Three incomplete years of marriage were spent in a painful and constant struggle to be the winner. As a result, Lyudmila Gurchenko showed an amazing integrity for a woman and was the first to file for divorce. Apparently, she did not find in Joseph Kobzon the character traits of a man that would fit into the framework of her requests. And the two stars broke up so that they would never have a close relationship in the future. About this marriage Lyudmila Gurchenko in the book “Lucy, stop!” wrote the following lines:

“He so needed a director of his appearance and repertoire nearby. Great opportunities will not replace taste, style. Those few days in less than three years brought such a puzzle.

Once, in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Lyudmila Gurchenko sadly admits: “Somehow I didn’t see very many talented, “piece” people who would be in perfect order. What is happiness in the everyday sense? In the morning you go to your favorite job, and in the evening you return to your beloved family, where they are waiting for you. But I almost never saw it."

The fourth official husband of Lyudmila Gurchenko was Constantine Cooperweiss is a talented young pianist. They met at a concert during the Moscow Film Festival. And somehow it so happened that they got together pretty quickly, despite the difference in characters and the difference in age (Konstantin was 14 years younger than Gurchenko). Moonlight walks in Moscow at night, an unforgettable honeymoon in Sevastopol - Lyudmila began her life as if anew, but with the same romantic confidence that she had finally met her fate. The family marriage lasted about nineteen years. Someone said that he was almost a slave to her habits, almost a servant in family home. However, no one could deny the fact that he was under the spell of this woman, at the mercy of her indomitable will. Everywhere and everywhere Lyudmila Markovna felt his tender care. She could rely on her husband in any matter, because she was completely confident in his love and affection. And for her, like a bolt from the blue, was the recognition of Konstantin that he has another woman to whom he wants to go. For a recognized star, this divorce was a heavy blow. She bitterly wrote in the book “Lucy, stop!”: “I left marriages. That's why I especially take my hat off to Kostya. Here is the artist. Fine artist. So great to play!”

Sergey Senin- the last, fifth husband of Lyudmila Markovna, whom she met on the set of the film "Sex Tale", was somewhat similar to her father.

In an interview with the Caravan of History magazine, he admitted that, despite the age difference of 25 years, he always called Lyudmila Markovna "daughter." Sergei Senin noted in this amazing woman that she had never been looking for men - she had been looking for only her father all her life. AND last years she constantly thought of him. Father was for Lyudmila Markovna the only beloved person on whom she could always rely on in difficult times, pour out her sick soul. Therefore, she probably reached out with her heart to Sergei Senin, guessing familiar features in him. He will be with Lyudmila Gurchenko until his last breath, and she will literally die in his arms.

With the passing of the great actress, we have lost the symbol of the era, a star that shone with incredible talent. And without her sparkling image, without the famous “five minutes”, many no longer see the world of art.
