Glory and shame
Recently, I found in my mailbox the magazine "Secrets of Stars", which was not a sign (No. 37 dated 09/05/2013, editor -in -chief R. Popov). On the cover is a photograph of an old woman in an untidy hospital robe, with a bewildered smile and wide eyes wide. After a few pages, the same photograph is repeated not only by a large, but also by a general plan. Now we see the unfortunate grandmother already at full height - with swollen venous legs, in the worn slippers on the barefoot ... In a word, a bum, placed in a free shelter.
The text under the photographs is: "... Tatyana Samoilova does not get out of hospitals ... The legend of Soviet cinema informed the doctors about repairing in her apartment. Although no repair ... no! .. The star ... eats in the buffet, just forgets to pay. School-like sclerosis ... Plus, plus she was coming up ... Tatyana made the first" cleansing "from her husband, Tatiana Then I had to make two more abortions ... two bloody miscarriages ... " And the second husband-journalist Valery Osipov-had " diabetes, obesity, and then impotence ... With great difficulty, Samoilova was able to give birth to only 35 years ... She gave her love to her son, having met an American in the 90s, twisted a novel with it and torn in the USA ... " A certain Natalya Petrova is a photograph of the old actress. After this photograph, there are a photo of a dazzlingly beautiful girl, whose face at one time knew the moviegoers around the world. And finally, photos of her beloved men ...
And then I was numb. After the photograph of Vasily Lanovoy, under my name there was a photo of my father, who has not been almost fifty years old, and the photo itself was taken in the 30s of the last century in places of prison ... You can imagine my condition-shock ... indignation ... Apparently, my reaction would not be so sharp if I had come across this for the first time. In the end, mistakes are possible ... mixed up with my father with me - they took his photo from one of my books in which I remember him ...
But the fact of the matter is that all this is and sloppy editorial mistakes, and shameless digging in other people's lives, and rude vocabulary is not an accident, but
I was lucky to know this family closely, and after Evgeny Valeryanovich I can repeat: there would be no thin, smart, strong -willed Zinaida Ilyinichna - there would be neither happiness, nor creative ups, nor the well -being of this family. As for errors and stumbling, this is life ...
In the course of the television program on the screen, photographs of the characters appeared every now and then. Here, for example, a photograph of the supposedly parents of Tatyana Evgenievna - and again, a dumb is covered by me ... This is not the Samoilov family, this is my family - mother, dad, sister ... I myself took this photo when Tanya and I came to visit Belorussia after marriage ...
How could this photo appear here? .. I can only guess. Before
Be that as it may, but I refused to participate in the program, because I already had negative experience. About seven to eight years ago, one of the federal channels had already been invited to take part in the film about Tatyana Samoilova-"Fifty years of loneliness." The motivation was the same - to help the patient in need of actress. Naturally, I agreed without hesitation. Many respected people took part in this film - including Alexei Batalov, Vasily Lanova and other friends of Tatyana Evgenievna. Unfortunately, the result was not positive. Unless the lovers of someone else's grief enjoyed the fullest, raising the channel’s rating ... Be that as it may, after that, not one of the friends of Tatyana Evgenievna I called in such programs, did not agree to participate in such programs.
As for the son of Tatyana Samoilova, who flew from America, so that - as the program employees told me - to help mother, this is what the Russian -speaking American newspaper Express writes on this occasion (No. 37 for 09/17/2013), referring to the story of his father. The son flew to Moscow at the invitation of the program "Let them talk", for which she paid him half a million rubles of a fee for this. Having slept in the night in Moscow, but not at his mother in an apartment, but in a hotel, he flew back ... Is it so, I don’t take it, I convey what I read. But on the basis of my own experience, when several years ago, employees of another federal channel called me from Moscow to Australia, where I was, asking to fly to a similar program about Tatyana Samoilova, offering to pay for flights and Sulya other benefits, I can conclude that information about the fee paid to the son of Tatyana Evgenieva, Verna.
The question is, how much truth is in the words of television people about the desire to help the needy actress? Or is it just a business on a difficult fate of a famous person? Was it necessary, violating all the norms of ethics and morality, to pull out an old woman suffering from many ailments and delve into her life? .. Maybe it would be more decent to transfer to her these half a million rubles paid to her son for arrival? .. Or even better - to transfer the fee that the host of this program in one evening ...
A year ago, the central channels celebrated the 55th anniversary of Tatyana Samoilova’s main film-“Cranes are flying,” whose “celebration” they stubbornly invited me. There are no words to describe the moral level that reigned on the screen. It is not clear that there is a sick woman, self-propelled fed-haired NTV-shniks, fucker and savoring someone else's grief, literally undressed on the screen.
A hidden camera secretly from around the corner takes off a poorly dressed woman, a heavily raving along the street, and the commentator talks about her life. About how she bypasses the neighboring cafes and restaurants in the hope that someone was her
Was there anything similar to the fate of Tatyana Samoilova in the history of world cinema, who brought our country world acting? Can you imagine Greta Garbo, Vivienne Li or Audrey Hepburn in this position?! What are we for the country?! .. At what moral level we are!?? .. Who gave the right to delve into the personal fates of people!? They would try these "Creators of the pen and screen" to rummage in the personal life of someone from the "powerful of this world"-how many abortions did his wife or mistress make? .. And with a sick defenseless woman, is it safe ...
So, as a person who was once close to her, I can say: Tatyana Evgenievna is not only a big actress, but also a person of rare decency and high patriotism. If it were wrong, then today the tragedy of poverty would not hang over it. Once she was invited by the best film studios of the world, including Hollywood, for the role of the same Anna Karenina in partnership with Gerard Philip. The closest friends and colleagues who accompanied her on the triumph in Cannes told her: "Tanya, agree and stay!" But she said “no”, because then it was called “treason” with us ... Say “yes”, and today would spend in warmth and well -being, and so many years of life - including our life together with her - passed in a communal apartment ...
So not the “pity of the oligarch” should facilitate her life today, but the duty that the country should return to her. The non -propulsing Gerard Depardieu is our hero, and she is Tatyana Samoilova.

pattern. This is the level of the vast majority of our current media, reflecting the moral level of our whole lives ... A month with a little ago in the program "Let them speak" Andrei Malakhova once again "rinsed" Tatyana Samoilova’s personal life. This time, the culprit of all troubles and misfortunes was a mother - Zinaida Ilyinichna Levina. She allegedly divorced Tanya with her last husband, she did not allow her grandson to meet his father for forty years ... And this is the same Zinaida Ilyinichna, about whom her husband, Tatyana’s father - Evgeny Valerovich Samoilov, said: "If Zina had not been, there would be no actor Samoilov. She is not only my critic, she is my talisman ..."Sloppy editorial blunders, and shameless digging in other people's lives, and rude vocabulary is not an accident, but a regularity

This program was recorded (this is not a live broadcast, but a record), the program employees called me many times, begging to take part in it, seducing the multimillion-dollar audience, the noble desire of Mr. Malakhov, to help the needy movie star ... They said literally with the words: "... some oligarch sees and compressed ... I once saw and called ..." They clicked that even the son of Tanya, Dmitry, who lives in America, quit all things and flies to turn on to help ... Apparently, even before getting my consent to participate in the program, the employees have already prepared species material, including the photographs of my parents there ... And then, after my refusal, or just confused all of ignorance, or in a hurry they forgot to withdraw these photos ...Be that as it may, but I refused to participate in the program, because I already had negative experience. About seven to eight years ago, one of the federal channels had already been invited to take part in the film about Tatyana Samoilova-"Fifty years of loneliness."

He recognizes and feeds. Every day she enters these cafes and reads the menu, but never orders anything - nothing. And then, finally, the waiter took pity on her and brought a glass of tea and a bottle of water for free ... And all this in the frame, secretly spied ... The camera looks into her wardrobe-look, she still has several fur coats (long-eaten by mole), which were once given by fans of the great movie star ... And all this is on television for the whole world! .. It is necessary to continue?! "Old age is not a joy!" - This is well known. Old age of the "stars", shining on world screens, is especially difficult. But the severity is different. Remember the Hollywood film "The Boulevard of the Sun Sun" - he is just about that. There is also a tragedy of an old American movie star. She wants to go back to her youth, in her glory. But at the same time, she lives in the castle, well -groomed, with assistants and attention ...Old age of the "stars", shining on world screens, is especially difficult. But the severity is different. Remember the Hollywood film "The Boulevard of the Sun Sun" - he is about this
