What Lyudmila Savelyeva had to endure to maintain relations with Alexander Zbruev

This year, the famous Soviet actress Lyudmila Savelyeva celebrated her 80th anniversary. Despite such a respectable age, the woman feels great. Maybe it's because she's been with a loved one for 55 years?



Wikimedia I would like to say yes. However, in the relationship of Lyudmila Mikhailovna and her wife Alexandra Zbruev not always everything was smooth. However, the actress found the strength to forgive her husband. This love story deserves to be shared with as many people as possible!

Actress Lyudmila Savelyeva Lyudmila Savelyeva is a professional ballerina. And for many years she earned a living by dancing. However, one day it, fluttering on the stage of the Kirov theater, noticed Sergey Bondarchuk. The famous director was looking for a girl for the role of Natasha Rostova in the film adaptation of the novel War and Peace.

Fragile Lyudmila seemed to him the perfect candidate. And she agreed to take part in the filming, which lasted for 5 years. During this time, Savelyeva managed to fall in love with the acting profession so much that she gave up her dance career.



Playing the role of Natasha Rostova, Lyudmila instantly became famous throughout the Soviet Union. In 1966, she was recognized as the best actress in the country. Imagine how a 24-year-old girl could feel at that moment. Unbelievable!

Savelyeva began actively acting in films. The roles fell on her one by one. However, in the 90s, she stopped acting, because the time came so that people were not up to the movies. The actress began to treat each new proposal with caution. She didn't want to do anything.

However, Lyudmila did not need to be constantly removed, because the money in her family was always kept. And all thanks to the husband of the actress. She married one of the most attractive actors of the USSR, Alexander Zbruev, in 1967.

Natasha Rostov performed by Lyudmila conquered Zbruev. He began to actively care for the actress, and very soon they began a relationship. A few months after the wedding, Savelyeva gave birth to a daughter. The girl was named Natasha.



For Zbruev, this marriage was already the second in a row. A few years before the wedding with Lyudmila, he divorced another actress, Valentina Malyavina. The separation was not easy for a man, because the woman not only cheated on him, but also got rid of the child who became pregnant.

Relations with Lyudmila helped Zbruev finally extinguish his heartache. However, this did not calm the thrilling female heart of the actress. Alexander liked almost all women of the USSR. There were many rumors about his novels. And Savelyeva at this time was sitting at home and engaged in the upbringing of a young daughter. Of course she was jealous.

Romance with Elena Shanina was not just an affair. She, being a married woman, gave birth to a child from Zbruev. When this happened, the man confessed everything to his wife.

Strong woman Lyudmila Savelyeva did not want to divorce her husband. She would forgive him if he chose to stay with her. And Zbruev did it. However, the man did not forget his second daughter. He gave her his name and took part in her life. She is now 29 years old and an actress.

And the life of Natasha, the common daughter of Lyudmila and Alexander, was not so rosy. As a teenager, she tried herself in movies. However, she did not develop a career. Then, after a serious fall and hitting her head, she started having health problems.



In addition, she could not forgive her father for the fact that he began to live on 2 families. The relationship also deteriorated with his mother, who forgave Zbruev. Natalia had to go through a lot of her own dramas. All this left a mark on her mental state. She suffered from nervous breakdowns, and now leads a reclusive lifestyle.

Today, the 55-year-old daughter of Zbruev and Savelyeva lives with her parents. This was a necessary measure, since living alone was bad for a woman. But Natasha's mom really got better. Now she works at home, goes to church and communicates with other parishioners. Faith helped the woman get on her feet.

Despite family hardships, actress Lyudmila Savelyeva considers herself a truly happy person. I wish her a long life!
