Stars Well, where are you, “Girls”: what was the fate of the actresses of the legendary film

In the early 1960s, Inna was already a well-known actress, winner of the Stalin Prize for the role of Lyubov Shvetsova in the Young Guard. And also a divorced woman (her first husband was Sergej Bondarchuk) with her teenage daughter Natasha. The role of telephone operator Nadia was simple thanks to her great life experiences.

After “Girls”, Makarova played in many films: “Balzaminov’s Wedding”, “Crime and Punishment”, “Dead Souls”, etc.

The main actress in “Girls” – Tosya Kislitsyna – was also a famous actress. She was destined for national fame and many other outstanding roles … and starred in several films (including the famous film “Queen of the gas station”), after which she married the diplomat Willy Khshtoyan and left with him and his daughter Karina on a business trip to the border .

For more than ten years, Rumyantseva lived first in Malaysia, then in Egypt, settling for rare episodic roles during her visits to Russia.

However, she found another job for herself – scoring films. Few people know that, for example, Nina in “Caucasian Prisoner” speaks in the voice of Rumyantseva!

In the 1980s, the actress hosted the TV show “Alarm Clock” and after perestroika she played only three small roles in the cinema.

Naděžda Rumjancevová died on April 8, 2008 from a brain tumor. Before that, she suffered from headaches for many years, which haunted the actress since 1996: robbers broke into the apartment and one of them hit her on the head.

Lucien was born in Ashgabat and dreamed of becoming an actress. She was working at the Mayakovsky Theater when she was offered a role in the film Father’s House in 1958. It was there that the director of “Girls” Yuri Chulyukin noticed her and offered her a role in his tape. Lucien coped with the role of Katya excellently and even sang the song “Starý javor”, which was popular.

It is true that, unlike her colleagues in the film, the directors did not line up before her with a proposal for the main roles: only in the comedy “Mom got married” she played the “first violin” – Nina Golubeva.

This did not upset Ovchinnikov. She was married to actor Valentina Kozlov from 1966 and was completely happy. Luciena Ivanovna had no children and never recovered from her husband’s death in 1998, dying on January 9, 1999 of a dislodged blood clot.

The graduate of VGIK started acting in films immediately after receiving her diploma, simultaneously with work at the Theater Studio of a Film Actor. She married director Stanislav Rostocký and in 1957 gave birth to a son, Andrej. After the film “The Ballad of a Soldier” (1959), she was invited to the role of “Vera’s mother” in the film “Girls”.

After the success of the film, Vera continued in films. She played teacher Svetlana Mikhailovna in her husband’s film “We’ll Live Until Monday”. Then there were roles in the films “Waiting for a Miracle”, “School Waltz”, “Visit of the Minotaur” …

After the collapse of the USSR, she played only two episodic roles in films. She died of cardiac arrest on December 26, 2007.

The youngest of “Girls” – she was 27 years old at the time of filming. Druzhinina wanted to become a ballerina, but was injured and refocused on VGIK, studying first acting and then directing. In 1958, she married cameraman Anatoly Mukasey and gave birth to a son, also named Anatoly.

In “Girls” Svetlana played the telephone operator Anfisa, then starred in several other films, gave birth to her son Mikhail in 1966, and from the 70s switched to directing. She made the films “Princess of the Circus”, “Midshipmen Go!” (and sequels) and the “Secrets of Palace Coups” series.

In 1978, a misfortune happened in the Druzhinin family. The eldest son Anatoly became addicted to drugs and committed suicide. Shortly before that, his son was born. This story was shrouded in mystery for a long time and only family friends knew what really happened to him.
