The audience remembered the actor in the roles of a poor astronomy teacher in the film “Nameless Star” and the Decembrist Annenkov in the film “Star of captivating happiness”. And in the action drama Teheran-43 (1980), Kostolevsky already looked like our worthy answer to Alain Delon.

It is very difficult to believe, but Vyacheslav Tikhonov was not accepted in VGIK because of ... non-photogenic (!) appearance. Despite this, he became an idol of millions of Soviet women, playing in the films “Let’s Live Until Monday”, “War and Peace” and “Seventeen Moments of Spring”.

Friends of the actress wondered how such different people could get along together. “I, a provincial, always attracted to those who Byron reads by heart and walks home in a velvet gown,” Mordyukova joked.

And to get his star role in the cult Soviet action movie “Pirates of the XX century”, Nikolai had to take off his shirt, play with biceps and even do somersaults.

Here are just some of Abdulov’s most memorable films: “Ordinary Miracle”, “The Most Charming and Attractive”, “Do not part with your loved ones”, “Carnival”, “Look for a Woman”, “Wizards”, “The Most Charming and Attractive”, “For Beautiful Ladies”, “Formula of Love”.

Ironically, the chief musketeer of Soviet cinema spent his childhood not in the fencing hall, but learning scales on the piano. Michael later confessed: I never wanted to be a musician - damn it, this music! But it was because of her that I was accepted into the Theatre Institute. And every movie I’ve done is because I’ve sung well. And the audience also appreciated Michael's film hits. The cult “Song of the Musketeers” and “Lanfren-Lanfra” became national hits and the hallmark of the artist.

Later, with the release of the picture “Guardians, go!”, the blonde charming handsome became the object of dreams of all the fair sex from 8 to 80 years. Letters came in packs, someone wrote that he was going to give birth to me, someone had already given birth, someone called his son Dima, someone Alyosha (after my character). One girl came from Ukraine with suitcases on me to “marry”...,” recalls the “Russian Musketeer” in an interview.

Vladimir Korenev became a real idol of Soviet women at the age of 21, after the release of the film Amphibian Man. The film, based on the novel of the same name by Alexander Belyaev, became the leader of the Soviet film distribution in 1962 and gathered huge queues of viewers at the premiere in Paris.



And that's not surprising. After all, the breathtakingly beautiful Korenev and Vertinskaya against the background of colorful Crimean landscapes and the first real underwater shootings in the world made the fantastic drama of Gennady Kazansky a real masterpiece.
