Actor Vladimir Kostin: photo, biography, private life

In 1975 Vladimir Kostin suddenly disappeared from the cinema screens. Fans of his work wondered why the actor stopped shooting at the peak of popularity. In fact, the destiny of talent was predetermined by tragic circumstances, which in the Soviet Union were hushed up.

The path to the goal

In the small military town of Kronshtat on January 13, 1939, the future actor Vladimir Kostin was born. The biography of this man is complex and tragic. My father was a military musician, my mother was a farmer. Later the family moved to Leningrad. There they were caught by war. They spent all the years of the blockade in the city. The divorce of the parents became dramatic for the boy. Little Volodya was given up for grandmother's upbringing.

From childhood, the child was drawn to the stage. Kostin independently developed acting skills. In the Leningrad Palace of Pioneers, he played leading roles. There, fate brought him with Ian Fried - director of such films as "Twelfth Night" and "The Dog in the Manger". Maitre invited the young man to play one of the leading roles in the new film. This was the first invitation that the actor Vladimir Kostin received. You can see his photo in the article.

The birth of a smoothie

Fried's film "The Road of Truth" was released in 1956. This is a picture of a strong woman. The heroine confidently goes to the goal and, thanks to perseverance and diligence, achieves the desired - becomes a people's judge. One day a familiar guy gets on a bench of the accused, who several years ago studied with her son. This role was played by the seventeen-year-old actor Vladimir Kostin. The hero can not be called the base of the film, but he became a bright part of the tape.

The guy perfectly coped with the task. To the character, the viewer feels warmth and understanding. Talent and thirst for the scene was noticed by the actress of this movie Tamara Makarova, who played the judge. The woman advised him to further learn the skills of the lyceum and enter the All-Russian State University of Cinematography. The boy listened to the advice.

The film "The Road of Truth", where the newly-made actor Vladimir Kostin played, did not become well-known. But this was the first step of a young talent in the art world.

Training and becoming a master

Popularity came immediately. Spectacular appearance, romantic type of person, sincerity of character - all this captivated the hearts of girls. The first role in the movie - and now Volodya was already waiting for crowds of fans. The mail box was filled with letters.

According to the rules of Gregory Kozintsev, under the guidance of which the guy was studying, he had to forget about shooting during his studies.

In 1959, the project of director Vasily Ordynsky "Sverstnitsy" started. One of the leading roles was approved by Vladimir Kostin. The actor discovered himself in this film as a romantic hero.

The plot tells of three friends. Before each of them, it becomes a difficult choice of the future. Two friends arrive, and the third - Svetlana - fails exams. She is ashamed to admit that she did not work out with studies, so she pretends daily to go to university. And she spends time in bad companies. But the world of the main character changes. When her behavior is discussed in a comradely court, the girl is informed that her father has died. At these events, Vasily was present, played by Vladimir Kostin. The actor in melodrama plays the role of a watchmaker. Later, the hero invites Svetlana to work. She accepts the offer, but the lack of diligence makes itself felt. Vasily calls her irresponsible, and the heroine is ready to do anything to win the sympathy of the young man.

The role of life

Couples student does not skip, is removed during the holidays. Then followed the 1960 film "Jump at Dawn," where his hero belonged to the storyline. The tape tells about the life of the military-landing troops. Events unfold in the post-war period. The main character is an ordinary Andrei Voronkov, whose role is played by the actor Vladimir Kostin. The guy saves the cute waitress Varya from the bullies. Young people fall in love with each other. The soldier tries to combine service and love, but on this way there are many problems. Andrei thinks that it's worth living only for your own pleasure. But in the finals he understands that patriotism and a sense of responsibility are much more important. The project was a breakthrough in his career.

Although they did not allow me to combine study and shooting, the mentor included this work as a diploma. Changed his views Kozintsev, because the guy then experienced the death of his mother.

Calm in work

Because of the rules of the faculty, Kostin refused the proposed role in the film "War and Peace". Perhaps, this work would open it in a new way, and everyone would know who the actor Vladimir Kostin is. Personal life did not add up. The first marriage in which the son was born, after five years of marriage broke up.

After graduation, he was admitted to Lenfilm, but there were no significant proposals. He played episodic, though interesting, roles. He worked on dubbing. You can see him as a townspeople in the "Old, Old Fairy Tale", June in "Twelve Months" and Mizgir's friend in the fairy tale "The Snow Maiden." On the set of the last picture he met his second wife, Valentina. A year after the dating, the couple became engaged. The couple lived happily until the tragic events in the life of the actor.

Fatal companion

One February evening in 1975, the actor was returning from a friend. On the way home, the taxi driver took a fellow traveler - a policeman in civilian clothes. Later he asked for a double amount for the trip. The policeman was indignant and took both to the station.

There they held a preventive conversation with men. The actor asked to go home to his pregnant wife, but this angered the policemen. He was badly beaten. Actor Vladimir Kostin died on the spot on February 1 at the age of 36.

At that time, the Union together with America filmed the movie "Blue Bird". The world stars Elizabeth Taylor and Jane Fonda, who were in the country, did not allow the matter to be hushed up. For the first time werewolves in uniform were punished.

After a month and a half, the actor had a long-awaited daughter, whom he never managed to pick up.

Although Costin appeared in only 20 works, the audience liked him. If it were not for the tragedy, he would have long pleased the fans with his invaluable gift to reincarnate in any image.
