“It’s hard for me today”: Natalia Selezneva returned to the stage, but could not get up from her chair 29.01.2023, 09:00

Five years ago, the actress underwent a complex operation on the neck of the femur. Since then, the comedy star Leonid Gaidai has had problems with his legs: it is difficult for him to walk alone. However, Natalya Igorevna reappeared on the stage of the Theater of Satire, where she served for more than half a century.

Fans were excited to meet their favorite artist. She was applauded for a long time despite the fact that Selezneva could not take a step herself.

“It is difficult. It was difficult for me to get here today,” assured Natalya Igorevna. She did not hold back her tears. The actress played in the play without getting up from her chair. She could not get up and bow.

“It’s very difficult. You can imagine what it’s like for an actress not to be on your favorite stage for two years, where you spent 50 years! “, Selezneva shared with the correspondents of the program “You won’t believe it!” on NTV.

After an unsuccessful fall and fracture of the neck of the femur, the actress underwent more than one operation: the hip and knee joints were replaced with titanium prostheses. Two years ago, the actress lost her husband, actor Vladimir Andreev, with whom she was happily married for over 40 years.
