The most charming Soviet actresses that our mothers wanted to be like
Stately, magnetic and captivatingly beautiful – these talented actresses left their bright imprint in Soviet cinema and our hearts. Women admired them and tried to imitate them. Men fell in love with them selflessly.
GettyImages Beauty standards in the USSR had a greater bias towards naturalness. Unreconstructed faces and figures, their hair and hypnotic charisma attracted more than unleavened “puppet” proportions. Let's remember 5 wonderful women from the world of cinema, who were equal to all women of the Union in the 1980s.
Desperately beautiful Anna Samokhin, who played Mercedes in “Prisoner of the castle If”, knew how to be different. In the cinema, she gracefully tried on the images of fatal devils, her beauty was envied and worshipped, but the fate of the actress was not easy.
Anna Vladlenovna was born in Cherepovets on January 14, 1963. Her childhood was spent in fights and quarrels next to a drinking father and a downtrodden mother in the walls of the hostel. The future star dreamed of breaking out of this hell and becoming famous.
Young Samokhin played in the local theater, and then became a student of the Yaroslavl Theatre School. For several years, the girl starred in two dozen paintings, falling in love with the viewer in his lively, sincere and bright nature. The men wouldn't let her through. There were two marriages behind Samokhin.
Over time, the actress changed the scene to the restaurant business. At the beginning of the zero, the woman decided to return to her favorite profession. She severely limited herself in food to get back in shape and started smoking a lot. In 2008, the actress was diagnosed with a malignant tumor at the last stage. Anna Vladlenovna left us at 47.
Ignoring pain, Samokhin fought to the last for his appearance. She visited plastic surgeons, made beauty shots, took dietary supplements and, according to rumors, even made a shot of stem cells. It is said that this injection was fatal.
The national favorite canonized the image of Mary Poppins, but was remembered by the viewer and other roles - in the repertoire of Natalia Andreychenko from more than 50. The irrepressible energy, passion and devotion to the vocation made the actress Honored Artist of the RSFSR at the age of 28.
The future artist was born on May 3, 1956 in the Moscow family of an aircraft engineer and employee of the Ministry of Education. The love of art in the heart of the girl sparked the production of “Sleeping Beauty”. Andreychenko dreamed of devoting herself to ballet, but fate led her to VGIK and the world of cinema.
The girl received her first roles at the institute, and the audience’s love generously echoed her success. The exquisite appearance and manners of the actress elevated her to the pedestal of the beauty icons of Soviet cinema. But ironically, the actress hated her appearance.
Until the age of 40, a woman did not accept her face. Natalia drowned out heavy feelings with alcohol and even decided to take a radical step - plastic surgery. Now Andreychenko does not look like herself in her youth, but her charisma is still bright and attractive.
Soviet actresses: photo Matlyuba Alimova and Alexandra Yakovleva Exotic beauty with oriental features captivated the viewer with just a languid look. The actress owes her charm to German, Polish, Georgian, Uzbek and Russian roots. No wonder the viewer sincerely accepted the transformation of Matlyuba into the fatal gypsy Nastya, in love with Budulai.
GettyImages Alimova from school wanted to connect with the theater, so went to learn the art of acting in VGIK. Soon she was expelled for “unfitness”, but Alexei Batalov came to the rescue. He was able to see in the young actress the gift of God. Already in 1979, Matlyuba made her debut in “Little Tragedies”, then she illuminated “Gypsy” and “Taras Bulba” with her talent.
At the age of 68, Alimova continues to act in films and leads an active social life. The actress attends various talk shows and film festivals, always friendly with fans and journalists. This amazing woman managed to keep that piercing look of green eyes.
Alexandra Ivanes Alexandra Ivanes (Yakovleva is the stage name of the actress) was born in Kaliningrad on July 2, 1957. The gentle years of the charming Soviet “magician” passed in the creative environment, playing the violin and dancing. These hobbies led the girl to the Leningrad State Institute of Music, Theatre and Cinematography. Not for long, though. Sasha was constantly late and disrupted rehearsals, for which she was soon expelled.
Instagram Yakovleva did not despair and took fate into his own hands. Her high hour struck after filming in the disaster film “Crew” by Alexander Mitta. The daring beauty with ease and dignity shot the bed scene, earning the status of one of the most courageous and desperate artists of the USSR.
Subsequent films, however, did not bring the actress the same success. Directors less and less offered the girl roles. Neither charisma nor doll appearance played into her hands anymore. After the death of her beloved grandmother, who raised an orphaned Sasha, the actress left the screens for a long time.
Yakovleva’s career did not end there, but changed the vector. She left the field of public life and then into politics. The beautiful lyceum did not become on April 1, 2022 after 3 years of oncology treatment.
Chic hair, charming smile, sharpened figure and talent - thanks to these girlish riches, Soviet cinema dreamed of getting and keeping Natalia Lapina. True, the star path of the performer of the role of Queen Mary from Don Cesar de Bazan was thorny.
The actress was born on August 5, 1963 in Gorky. The girl grew up in a dysfunctional family and dreamed as soon as possible to escape from the drinking mother and father. After studying at the engineering college, Lapina worked for some time as an engineer at the plant and sang for the soul in a local restaurant.
In search of a better fate, the girl decided to test herself in cinema and entered the Gorky Theatre School. Offers of filming fell almost immediately: the young actress took on any role and developed her talent.
Soon, an incredible fortune fell on Lapina: yesterday’s student was noticed by Western directors and taken to the United States, where she stayed and managed to get married twice. Over the years, the actress left the cinema and focused on the solo career of the singer.
Even in the sixth ten of the legendary “Ruen Maiden nicknamed Pyshka” is still full of passion and fire. She did not lose her charm, gracefully tweaking the influence of time through plastic surgery. Russian Marilyn Monroe, no other way!
