In Moscow they say goodbye to Lyudmila Gurchenko

Already an hour before the start of official farewell to Lyudmila Gurchenko at the central house of writers gathered today hundreds of people of various ages. According to ITAR-TASS, special fences were installed at the entrance to the Central House of Artists to organize the actress fans in an organized manner. Many of them came with flowers, mainly people hold roses and red carnations in their hands, which Lyudmila Markovna especially loved.

The coffin with the body of the actress is installed on the stage of the Great Hall of the House of Writers. A portrait of Gurchenko hangs above him. For the last appearance of the actress in the public, her relatives chose a white dress, which Lyudmila Markovna herself embroidered with beads. She really hoped to speak in him at her future concert. However, death made its adjustments to the plans of the actress - on March 30, she died suddenly in the 76th year of her life.

At 10:00 Moscow time, everyone will be able to go to the Central House of Artists Hall to tell her the last “goodbye”, and the civilian memorial service, on which colleagues and friends of the artist will perform, will begin at noon. By decision of relatives, farewell to Gurchenko will take place to the sounds of her songs.

Close, following the last will of the actress, abandoned the funeral service in the church. Immediately after the mourning ceremony, the motorcade will go to the Novodevichy cemetery, where Lyudmila Gurchenko will be buried next to Tatyana Shmyga, Vyacheslav Tikhonov and Oleg Yankovsky.

We can safely say that absolutely everyone knows Lyudmila Gurchenko in Russia. And at the same time, for all, she is completely different. For some, she remains a young student with a washing waist from Carnival Night, for someone-the authoritarian Raisa Zakharovna from the film "Love and Pigeons", for some she is a devoted Tamara Vasilievna from "Five Evenings", and other spectators remember her as "beloved woman of mechanics Gavrilov."

Many grew up with the film "Mom", where Gurchenko plays a gullible and caring goat, and hundreds of women emphasized and laughed with her heroine from the Station for Two belt ... And on the eve of her 75th anniversary, Lyudmila Markovna also made her debut as a film director, filming a blind pianist "West Twilight". She wrote music to her and played the main female role.

Lyudmila Markovna has always been a rather closed person, but tried not to hide anything from her viewers. No wonder the actress wrote three autobiographical books - "adult childhood", "Applause" and "Lucy, Stop!". “I live and work for you,” she admitted. “When I'm in the frame, I amend how you smile or cry, looking at the screen. When I go out onto the stage and hear your applause - this is like a take -off to the sky ...”
