The 53-year-old actress looks 30!
In Moscow, prominent theater figures gathered for the ceremony of awarding the International STANISLAVSKY Prize. This year it was timed to coincide with the 155th anniversary of the founder of the world’s most famous theater school, whose favorite phrase was: “I don’t believe it!”
The award in the category “Property of the Russian Theater” was awarded this year for the first time. Its laureate was the artistic director of Lenkom Mark Zakharov. As you know, the 85-year-old director has been struggling with a serious illness for several years now and, although it is difficult for him to walk without assistance, he found the strength to get up on stage:
I am a long-time director, and a long-time director should know what he has done and what the occasion has given him. “I have 50/50,” Mark Anatolyevich sadly noted, receiving the prize.
Another laureate - Alexandra Filippenko- accompanied by his wife Marina:
She negotiates both about filming and about my fees. I don’t interfere in everyday details, I just need to know what car they’ll take me to the shoot in and what car they’ll take me back in. Marisha does everything else,” said Filippenko.
Received an award and Alla Demidova.
In the house where we are now, after the war, military men and their families lived - it was a large communal apartment, - Alla Sergeevna began to reminisce. “The kids and I often played here in front of the entrance when we were kids.” I had the championship itch, and the kids quickly got tired of it. One day they took me by the arms and legs and tried to throw me over the parapet of the Moscow River. But, thank God, they didn’t quit. Since then, I began to have a fear of the team. So I lived my life on the sidelines.
So at the awards, the 82-year-old actress kept herself apart, and immediately after the ceremony she hurried home, not even staying for the traditional banquet.
Good wife
53 year old widow Oleg Tabakova Marina Zudina, on the contrary, she spoke sweetly and in good spirits with her colleagues, who literally bombarded her with compliments. Like, she became younger and blossomed. And this is just eight months after a bereavement - the loss of her beloved husband.
It turned out that Zudina’s work saved her. Offers are now pouring in on her one after another. She starred in the series “The Good Wife” - an adaptation of the American project Good Wife. Moreover, the role of co-owner of a law firm was her first film work in the last five years. And now Marina Vyacheslavovna is starting filming in a new series Konstantin Bogomolov.
Last week, the son of Zudina and Tabakov, Pavel, appeared in a film in memory of Oleg Pavlovich, which was directed by a popular blogger Yuri Dud. He dwelt in detail on the topic of the death of Tabakov Sr., who, as is known, died of prostate cancer.
The young artist admitted that his father learned about the serious illness a long time ago and, despite the complexity of the situation, continued to actively work and enjoy life. To his sons Pavel and Anton (from his marriage with Lyudmila Krylova) Oleg Pavlovich spoke about the fatal diagnosis even before Zudina found out about it.
How long did Oleg Tabakov live with cancer? - Dud asked.
Refused Malakhov
The 77-year-old prima of the Theater also became a notable figure at the Stanislavsky Prize ceremony Russian army Lyudmila Chursina. On the sidelines, she proudly told her colleagues that she had just flatly refused to participate in television filming with Andrey Malakhov. And she was surprised loudly:
I don’t understand at all why my colleagues participate in these programs. Maybe they are paid money there?!
When her eyes were opened that many people come to “Live”, “Let Them Talk” and other similar shows not for free, but for a substantial fee, Lyudmila Alekseevna shook her head with sadness:
Well then, it is clear. But, as I said Ranevskaya, the money will be lost, but the shame will remain. If they had invited me to a serious program, a political one, I might have gone. But I don’t want to participate in kitchen showdowns!
She herself spent the entire evening in relaxed communication with her new companion, much younger than herself. The author of these lines was already happy for her beloved actress, that she, who at one time was married three times, including to the son of the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Yuri Andropov, regained personal happiness. But when I called Lyudmila Alekseevna the next day to clarify the name of her mysterious gentleman, she thought for a long time, and then exhaled into the phone:
Unfortunately, I can’t help you and I don’t remember his name. There's always someone hovering around me!
Marina Zudina spoke about her relationship with Oleg Tabakov.
On March 12, actor and theater and film director Oleg Tabakov died as a result of a heart attack. The most important inspiration in the life of the great artist has always been his faithful wife Marina Zudina.
Zudina was in love with Tabakov while she was still a very young student. At that time, she was only 16 years old, and the teacher himself did not even suspect Marina’s existence, being married to actress Lyudmila Krylova. The family of artists grew up with a son, Anton, and a daughter, Alexandra, the same age as Zudina. Then Marina could not even imagine that she would ever be able to win Tabakov’s heart. The girl had a clear goal: to enter GITIS and certainly to Oleg Pavlovich’s workshop. The task turned out to be within the power of the young actress, and then everything worked out by itself - a romance began between the student and the teacher. " All the students were in love with him - both boys and girls. It was adoration. I didn't think it would turn out this way. The relationship was honest, I had no intention of taking anyone away. Oleg Pavlovich did not promise anything", recalls Zudina. 
The actress said that at a certain moment she and Tabakov realized that they could no longer live without each other. For the sake of her beloved, Zudina was ready to sacrifice her career on the altar of love. “If at that moment Oleg Pavlovich said: “ You won’t play anything, but we will live with you,” I would probably choose “live“, admitted Marina. However, true love does not require self-sacrifice. Tabakov did not give Zudina any ultimatum, and the girl appreciated this.
For lovers, the age difference has always been conditional. When the actor left Lyudmila Krylova, Marina Zudina turned to her mother for advice: “Then I myself expressed doubts: they say, we have a 30-year age difference. To which my mother replied: “ And you are also quite old.” This was such an exhaustive dialogue", the artist recalls. Zudina also said that her parents really value and respect Oleg Pavlovich, so they didn’t have any questions about the marriage. Moreover, what questions can there be when you see how a serious and self-realized man treats your only daughter?
When Tabakov left his family, his wife and children cut off communication with him. Krylova could not forget the betrayal, and her daughter took her mother’s side. Only son Anton was able to forgive his father over time. " Mom and Sasha are offended not because this happened. They are offended by how it happened. After my parents' divorce, I also did not communicate with my father. However, looking at the situation from the outside, I realized that it looked like “to spite my mother, I’ll freeze my nose.” I quickly forget insults and try to think about good things. It's easier for me to exist this way. And mom... She lives with us. Her feminine happiness is children and grandchildren"Anton shared his revelations.
Marina Zudina admits that at the beginning of their life together, she and Tabakov quarreled almost every morning: “ Everything I did caused dissatisfaction. Then they found a way out of the situation: he got up and did something himself, I woke up later, and we didn’t have time to argue" For Oleg Pavlovich, work undoubtedly came first. But his calling did not deprive Tabakov of the need to love and be a man. The actress emphasized that she was always present in her husband’s life, no matter what he did.
In an interview, Oleg Tabakov admitted that he was very worried about how long he would be able to see his children. The artist also stated that with the birth of his and Marina’s first son, Pavel Tabakov, he began to feel much younger and more cheerful. According to the actor, doctors also noted an improvement in physical health. " Our vitality does not dry up because we are physically worn out. They dry up when we are no longer needed. And while this factor is in effect, our possibilities are almost limitless.", Tabakov regulates.
“I have two of the happiest days of my life. The first was when I entered the course with Oleg Pavlovich. Apparently, this day determined my entire future fate. The second was Pavlik’s birthday, when after many hours of pain and horror relief came, and I saw the eyes of my beloved man, my husband,” admitted Zudina. There is not a single reason to doubt that the artist was also truly happy next to Marina.
At one time, the news of the romance between Oleg Tabakov and Marina Zudina caused a flurry of rumors, gossip, unflattering assessments of friends and strangers. The young actress was accused of all mortal sins, and Oleg Pavlovich had to bear the blow. She was just happy. He loved her.
Teacher and student
In 1981, Oleg Tabakov completed his acting course at GITIS, where sixteen-year-old Marina Zudina came. She passed all the rounds, was successfully enrolled and, like all male and female students, fell in love with her unusually talented and charismatic teacher. But then it was more of a professional love.
None of them can now describe at what moment the warm relationship between the teacher and the student suddenly changed. Marina, a diligent, talented girl, suddenly realized that of all the men in the world, she needed only one - Oleg Pavlovich.
She was ready to freeze for hours under the theater so that she could then ride with him in the car for a few minutes to the metro. She also got it at the institute. Rumors about the affair spread quite quickly, and Marina often felt neglected by her classmates.
Despite the fact that during her five years of study she managed to star in seven films and played two leading roles in two of them, her attitude did not change. But she was ready to endure and put up with everything that was happening, just to see him and feel the warmth of his hands.
Oleg Pavlovich, who survived adolescence separation of parents due to his father’s infidelity, did not want to traumatize his children - Anton and Alexandra. But losing Marina seemed simply unthinkable. He nobly convinced her of the impossibility of sharing happiness. She wrote to him farewell letters. And then their eyes met, and everything started all over again.
A novel with a sequel
After graduating from GITIS, Marina was accepted into the famous “Tabakerka” under the leadership of Tabakov. They saw each other every day, their romance gained momentum. And he was interrupted again. It seemed that this swing would never end. He is not free, his divorce is impossible, and she cannot imagine anyone else nearby. And yet the moment came when Oleg Pavlovich realized the artificiality of his problems. The children have grown up, the son and daughter have their own families, his wife Lyudmila Krylova herself has repeatedly suggested that he get a divorce. For a long time they only created the appearance of a family.
In 1993, ten years after the start of his affair with Marina, Oleg Tabakov found the strength to leave his family in order to become happy again. Divorce was painful for everyone. But behind him a thin strip of boundless happiness was already looming.
For a long time Marina could not believe what was happening. She knew for sure that this man was destined for her. She was ready to wait for him as long as necessary. This is probably why what was happening seemed so incredible. They finally became husband and wife.
On the first day of August 1995, the couple had their first child, Pavel. The birth of a boy was a test of the strength of their union. Marina came to her senses for a whole year, absorbed in the child. Oleg Pavlovich was not jealous of her son and did not make a scene. He was just there, warming you with his love. Their marriage survived and became stronger.
In April 2006 they had a daughter, Maria. She often visits Dad's theater and, according to him, has become his best sedative. And also a source endless tenderness and pacification of emotions.
Maturity of feelings
Oleg Pavlovich often says that Marina changed him. Before her, he often started fleeting romances and was in constant search of new adventures. With her appearance in his life, he really stopped looking at other women, having met the only one with whom he felt warm, cozy and calm.
Oleg Tabakov and Marina Zudina never considered their marriage ideal. Sometimes they quarrel, but these quarrels can hardly be called serious. For example, Marina is very fond of hiking, which she became addicted to during her student years. But Oleg Pavlovich considers them a pointless waste of time and does not understand their benefits. In principle, this is the only reason for disagreement in their family. When he is in a bad mood because of work, he simply asks his wife not to touch him for a while.

But they have much more in common. They are both supporters of active compassion, when you do not cry over the misfortune of another person, but try to help him. They are confident in each other and in their feelings, love to work together on stage and raise children.
Their marriage is over 20 years old. Not so long ago Oleg Pavlovich said: “Love is when you can’t live without a person, when you don’t have the strength to endure separation.”
There has been in the history of cinema and pop music. But happy spouses Oleg Tabakov and Marina Zudina are sure that age does not matter in love.
