Famous director and young actress: love without reciprocity

The dream of childhood came true! In the world of cinema there was a new star named Ludmila Marchenko, the films with her participation were unusually popular. Her patron did not conceal his love for his protege, but he could not achieve reciprocity. The young beauty at first did not even believe that such a famous director was in love with her, besides, he was married to Marina Ladynina, who was one of the most beautiful actresses of the USSR. Soon Lyudmila no longer doubted that Ivan Alexandrovich's intentions were serious, but she could not reciprocate and refused.

Pyryev was sure that his Lunechka would not be able to resist him, so her refusal was completely unexpected. To all the misfortunes of the unfortunate lover was summoned to the Central Committee of the CPSU to disassemble at the meeting his immoral behavior.

Oleg Strizhenov was 31 at the time, he was filming with Lyudochka in "White Nights". The lovers diligently hid their relationship, since Oleg was married. Lyuda did not tell her mother about her love even to her mother and sister.

Strizhenov urged his mistress to remain silent and promised to divorce. It is not known how long this novel would last, if it were not for Luda's pregnancy. Oleg's prospect of becoming a father was completely unhappy, and his lover doubted whether he could combine work and motherhood. If this couple created a family, they would not have a home or a livelihood. The decision was made unanimously: Marchenko went to have an abortion.

The girl did not want to go to the hospital, so she stopped her pregnancy at home with some grandmother. After an unsuccessful operation, Lyudmila could no longer have children, the verdict of the doctors was undeniable. After all the suffering that the actress experienced, the relationship with Oleg lost all the charm and quickly stopped.

Ivan Pyriev makes an official offer

Ludmila Marchenko's personal life from the very beginning of her acting career was the subject of discussion both of her close associates and her numerous admirers. Not surprisingly, Pyryev knew all the details of her novel with Strizhenov and almost the first to learn that the relationship between Oleg and Lyudmila ended. Ivan Alexandrovich renewed his courtship with redoubled force, but the girl was adamant. She refused to Pyriev, explaining that it was a huge age difference, because her ardent admirer was her grandfather's peer.

Ivan Alexandrovich decided to enlist the support of his beloved's parents and went to get married to her mother. The gray-haired bridegroom announced to the bewildered woman that she intended to immediately divorce and immediately sign with Lyunechka. Pyryev vowed that he would make her happy, leaving all her wealth and all ties to her feet. He argued that he would open the door to a new life for a young actress, in which she would not need anything. Mother did not approve of such a groom for her beauty and put him out the door. Ivan Alexandrovich left, but throughout his life he never ceased to love the rebellious snub-nosed actress.

The marriage did not last long, during the filming of the film "My younger brother" Vladimir left his wife - he was just tired of jealousy and ridicule of friends who did not believe that Luda was not the mistress of the famous director.

Tragedy of Lyudmila Marchenko

Some time after the divorce, Luda remained alone, as if resting from family troubles, then her friend Vladimir Gusev, deciding to help her friend get out of such a depressed state, introduced her to the geologist Valentin Berezin. The guy looked very nicely at Lyudochka. Flowers, songs under the guitar, kisses under the moon played a role - the girl melted and responded to the fan with reciprocity. She introduced Valentine to her family, and the couple began to live together as a civilian.

For three years the couple lived a soul in the soul. In their house often gathered friends, Lyudmila could not do without communication for a long time. She was a very kind person who at any moment is ready to support a friend in trouble, her optimism was simply contagious. Few of her entourage knew that behind the screen of well-being was hidden a vulnerable heart, the actress carefully concealed all her experiences and tried to always be cheerful in public.

Valentine, as befits a geologist, often left for long business trips. When he returned, the "good" people began to whisper to him about the infidelity of his wife, the name of the director Pyreva persistently pursued Lyudmila. Berezin, of course, was well aware of this frustrated novel, but, like many others, did not believe that Marchenko could resist such an influential person. Once her husband's patience burst, and he, after returning from another expedition, severely beat his wife. The poor woman did not have a living place, instead of her once pretty face, she had a bloody mash.

When he came to himself and saw his wife all covered in blood, Valentin was very frightened, but not for her, but for himself. Berezin persuaded Lyudmila not to claim him, the woman agreed and told everyone that she had an accident. In the hospital doctors managed to save the life of the unhappy, but her beautiful face was impossible to return. At that time she was only 26 years old and she had to live on with scars, torn lips and mutilated chin. Lyudmila stood and did not drop her hands. She even acted in films, only her roles were episodic. In the film "Scouts" she played Marie, in "Gypsies" she got the role of Budulai's wife, and in the film "The Man Throws Anchor" - the role of Ninochka.
