Talented people often die too soon. Perhaps the whole point is in a special mental organization that requires a lot of physical and moral strength. Today we will talk about the Soviet and those who passed away in their youth. And also remember the outstanding artists and directors who left us in 2017.
When it comes to Soviet actors who died too early, two names come to mind: Oleg Dal and Vladimir Vysotsky. These were amazing talented people. During their short career in film and theater, they have done more than many of their colleagues in a long, measured and correct life.
Oleg Dal
The Soviet actor, who passed away at the age of 39, had a reputation as a disgraced figure. Several films with his participation were banned. He himself was not allowed to travel abroad for ten years. Oleg Dal often clashed with directors, refusing to play in performances that, in his opinion, were far from real art.
He abused alcohol, but tried to overcome himself. He had a bad heart, but despite this, he worked hard. The actor passed away on March 3, 1981. A heart attack, according to one version, was provoked by alcohol. Latest films with the participation of Oleg Dal: "The Uninvited Guest", "We looked death in the face", "Vacation in September".
Vladimir Vysotsky
The death of a singer-songwriter and an actor who passed away during the Olympics in Moscow shocked the whole country. There is a version that Vladimir Vysotsky foresaw his imminent death. It was thanks to him that the shooting of the film "The meeting place cannot be changed" began. He really wanted to play leading role in this film. But when work on the painting began, he tried to refuse - he understood that he had very little left.
The actor, who passed away in 1981, according to doctors, was doomed. For many years he suffered from alcohol addiction. Shortly before his death, he found a way to "treat" a terrible disease. Vysotsky began to use drugs. Doctors predicted his death either from withdrawal or from an overdose. The actor died in his Moscow apartment on Malaya Gruzinskaya on July 25. He died in his sleep as a result of a heart attack. Soviet press she kept silent about the death of the people's favorite, nevertheless, several thousand people came to the funeral. The performance with the participation of Vysotsky at the Taganka Theater was canceled, but not a single person returned the ticket to the box office.
Death on stage and behind the scenes
