Anna samokhina recent photos. Anna Samokhina: biography and obituary. Doctors found a tumor at the last stage

The details of the last days of the life of actress Anna Samokhina were told by her daughter.

Anna Samokhina was called the Russian Marilyn Monroe. Everyone admired her rare and non-standard beauty. Remember her roles in the films Prisoner of If Castle, Royal Hunt, Tartuffe, Chinese Service, Thieves in Law! Alas, beauty did not make the actress happy.

At the end of 2009, Anna Samokhina was given a terrible diagnosis. The actress died suddenly at the age of 48. There were many signs in her life that predicted tragedy.

Being very young, Anna Samokhina met a gypsy, and she said that the actress would die at 45. A few years later, a palmist (a person who is engaged in divination by palm. - Auth.) Looked at her hand and said that the artist's life would be short.

When Anna turned 45, she even joked about it, but those close to her saw fear in her eyes. The next birthday came, and Anna breathed a sigh of relief, said that everything was not true and the prediction was wrong.

At the age of 39, Samokhina starred in the video "Native Wife" Seeds of Canada. Her heroine, according to the plot, after a car accident, ends up in intensive care. Who knows, perhaps this role became prophetic in the life of the actress.

“When they started filming the scene in the ward, I saw how Anna was constantly praying,” says singer Semyon Canada. - I was very worried when I had to connect devices to it. It seemed to her that these shootings were a bad omen.

Doctors found a tumor at the last stage

The actress felt the first sign of illness in November 2009. She promised her sister Margarita Podgornaya to buy a ticket to Goa and relax with her. But a severe pain in her stomach stopped her. The actress lost consciousness.

“I called my mother at the moment when she was ill,” the daughter of Samokhina Alexandra shares the details. “She said she was at the Military Medical Academy and that she had been diagnosed with a liver tumor. Then she got tested.

Soon Anna Samokhina was diagnosed with stage IV stomach cancer with extensive metastases. Despite the verdict, the actress was sure to the last that she would recover. Once, in the corridor of the hospital, a doctor approached Alexandra and said that Samokhina had two months to live.

- I burst into tears, and the doctor said: “So that I don’t see you like this! You shouldn't hurt your mom."

Anya left the hospital with Sasha. Then she called me: “Here is such a story. Well, what to do - there will be no seven deaths, one cannot be avoided. We will fight, ”says the first husband of the actress Alexander Samokhin in an interview with one of the publications. - She reacted calmly, as much as possible with such a diagnosis.

The man admitted that the actress turned to psychics to save her life. After all, despite the disappointing forecasts of doctors, she believed in a miracle. The psychic from Karelia first said that she would take up the treatment. But then she suddenly refused.

- Friends told me, they turned to Juna. And Juna answered: “I don’t go to the dead.” That is, Anya was still alive, and she was already called dead.

The actress smoked a lot

Many are still discussing what was the true cause of the actress's illness, which exhausted her in just two months. Of course, the development of the disease could be affected by constant stress, dissatisfaction with roles. After all, the actress had to act for mere pennies, just to earn. And with her external data and talent, she could do much more ...

Beauty is both magical and terrible power. Many artists make huge sacrifices to stay forever young and shine on the screens for many years. Anna Samokhina was also worried - she was afraid to grow old. She often said that she did not understand how many women accept their age. Even while in a hospital bed, Anna Samokhina took care of herself.

- When my mother saw that some actress was a beauty and then they said about her: “That’s how she got old, she passed,” says Alexandra, she answered this: “The main thing is to leave on time ...” You know, I was on one of "Psychic Battles", and the psychic said that she programmed herself to leave young.

Also, many said that the actress took a course of beauty injections, like other stars who, unfortunately, quickly left: Yankovsky, Abdulov, Polishchuk, Turchinsky ... Some scientists believe that the mechanism of action of stem cells is ruthlessly deceptive: first, the body is renewed, man it gets younger before our eyes, and then cancer cells grow.

“I don’t think that’s true,” Alexandra continues. - At the age of 35, my mother did eyelid surgery, which she never hid. Also I was going to do a circular tightening. And if she was going to do beauty injections, then she would have said so. But she smoked a lot, loved meat and was fond of tanning. These factors may have contributed to the development of the disease.

The artist did not want anyone to see her in the state to which her illness had brought her.

The last days of 47-year-old Anna Samokhina spent in one of the St. Petersburg hospices.

Friends who were going to visit her in the hospice, she also forbade them to come to her.

The last wish of the actress was a request not to arrange any farewell ceremonies after her death, reports NEWSru.co.il.

The referent of the Union of Cinematographers, Irina Pann, told reporters that the family categorically refused the civil memorial service.

On February 10, the funeral of the actress will take place in the Church of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God in St. Petersburg. Anna Samokhina will be buried on the same day at the Smolensk cemetery.

A few days before her death, the actress was awarded the title of Honored Artist of Russia.

The last film with the participation of Anna Samokhina "A pseudonym for the hero" will be released in five months.

Anna Samokhina, the first beauty of Soviet cinema, was an ugly duckling as a child.

She was born in 1963 in the city of Guryevsk, Kemerovo Region. A poorly dressed provincial girl from a poor factory family - she was like that at the age of 14.

Anna's childhood did not promise her bright prospects: the entire Podgorny family (Samokhina's maiden name) had a room in the factory dormitory.

The father drank, there was nothing to pamper the children with new clothes (Anya grew up with her sister). Housing conditions were gradually improved: from the hostel, the family first moved to a communal apartment, then the Podgornys saved up for a cooperative.

Anya's mother dreamed for herself and for the girls: the daughters should certainly study music and find a military husband, so that they could have a separate apartment, and in such a favorable situation it was already possible to work, for example, as a music teacher in a kindergarten.

Anna did not resist her mother's plans, she studied for one five. Growing up, she decided to go to the artist. At the age of 14, after the eighth grade, the girl entered the Yaroslavl Theater School.

Anna at that time considered herself an ugly woman, she could not boast of outfits, and it was difficult to outdo her classmates: all beautiful girls, confident in their charms, had an advantage of 2-3 years.

But the first guy on the course, Alexander Samokhin, saw the "ugly girl". At the age of 16, Anya and Sasha already started a family.

The happy family life of the Samokhins will last 15 years. After graduating from college, the guys were distributed to the Rostov theater, daughter Sasha was born. Anna was not spoiled with roles, her husband's profession instead of a separate apartment assumed only a room in a hostel.

At the age of 20, Anna seemed to have returned to the past: the same shared kitchen, no prospects in the foreseeable future.

She had every chance to live in obscurity, but at the age of 24, luck finally turned to face the girl, they write Days.Ru.

In the corridor of the hostel, she met the assistant director Georgy Yungvald-Khinkevich, the author of The Three Musketeers.

Since 1988 - after the release of the film "The Prisoner of If Castle", where Samokhina played the beautiful Mercedes - the directors raced to invite the actress to their projects.

"Thieves in law", "Don Cesar de Bazan", "Royal Hunt" - Anna did not leave the posters, the beauty of Samokhina was not equal in her generation.

But Soviet cinema was living out its last days, and Russian cinema had not yet had time to be born - the star of the actress was gradually fading away. She starred here and there, but without previous success.

Anna's last film roles will be remembered for "Chinese service" (1999), the series "Black Raven" and "Gangster Petersburg".

In 2009, she managed to star in two films - "Love is not what it seems" and "House with No Exit".

The disease came into her life suddenly. Anna Samokhina has always had great willpower. She did not give up and did not fall into despair when there was no work either in the theater or in the cinema.

And now her relatives believed: the terrible diagnosis would not break her and she would recover. Directors and colleagues were waiting for her return. But Anna Samokhina "burned out" in a few months.

She was only 47 years old. A bright woman with an incomparable smile - this is how her relatives and fans will remember her.

Anna Samokhina was buried at the Smolensk cemetery, next to the grave of her mother-in-law, the mother of her first husband. Relatives refused the civil memorial service, the funeral service was held in the Church of the Smolensk Mother of God. But the temple could not accommodate everyone, so speakers were installed on the street so that fans of the actress could hear the service. Many couldn't help crying. One woman became ill, but, fortunately, an ambulance was on duty near the church.

Actors don't die

We often noticed that Anya had problems with her stomach, - actor Evgeny Leonov-Gladyshev told us. - Sometimes she asked before the performance to bring mineral water to the dressing room to drink a pill. No one thought that she was so seriously ill. Anya always said that, they say, she ate a bad salad. It's good that she died in her sleep, moved away quietly.

The coffin was placed in front of the altar. In complete silence, the lid was opened.

Annushka managed to give instructions on how to bury her, - Leonov-Gladyshev explained.

Anya is already at home, we are still visiting, - the friend of the actress, actor Sergei Koshonin, sighed. - She was a very religious person. Always cross before the performance. Although she did not often look into the church and did not keep fasts, she had faith in her soul. It means that God needed her more than here on earth. In general, Anna is a miracle of nature. And for us it will always remain alive. Actors don't die.

An apple that ripened early

Samokhin was buried by father Viktor Moskovsky. Anna was friends with him, often talked, especially about Saint Xenia of Petersburg: she dreamed of playing her in a movie.

I buried my beloved actress, beloved person with special grief and mourning, - Father Victor admitted. - Many people ask: why do such young people leave? There are apples that ripen early, and there are those that ripen late. And now the early apple has ripened, poured, and if you do not bite it, it will go bad. Maybe this is an unfortunate comparison, but perhaps Anna is ripe for God. In the rite of the funeral there are such words: "He will rest with the saints." We bury Anna at the Smolensk cemetery, where Saint Xenia of Petersburg lies. I believe that she will patronize Anna, become her intercessor before the Lord.

The coffin was carried out to applause. They didn't stop for a long time. The hearse drove slowly along the path of the cemetery, along the edges of which hundreds of people stood and clapped, clapped.

The grave was covered with spruce branches and carnations. Another short service was held here. In the frosty air, the voices of the singers sounded especially piercing. Relatives and friends, whom the guards tremblingly protected from the crowds of admirers of Samokhina, stood in a tight bunch. The daughter of Anna Alexandra, who had steadfastly held back her tears all this time, could not stand it and burst into tears. Her father immediately approached her, hugged her, whispered something in her ear. A few minutes later, the girl came to her senses.

I worked with Anya for four years, - recalls Andrey Noskov, who played with Samokhina in the entreprise "The hero of the occasion." I have never met such a talented actress. She has a mysterious smile and plasticity. But I found out that she was sick only recently. Anya in life was a rather secretive person. She has such a manner - not to dedicate anyone to her problems. She rarely asked for help. Perhaps that is why she did not talk about the disease.

Exactly at sixteen o'clock Samokhina was lowered into the grave. Applause sounded again. And then fans of the actress with flowers walked to the fresh grave for more than an hour. Most of all there were white roses - she especially loved them.

DETAILS

Samokhina herself found out that she had cancer only two months ago. In November, she was going on vacation to Goa, but before that she decided to undergo an examination. The diagnosis was disappointing: stomach cancer, fourth degree, the operation is impossible. Relatives tried to find at least some way to help Anna, but the doctors only shrugged their shoulders - nothing could be done. We had a course of chemotherapy, but it did not help. Non-traditional methods of treatment also turned out to be powerless.

The actress spent her last days in a hospice in Pargolovo. There, patients are supported not only by ordinary doctors, but also by priests. Daughter Sasha and older sister Margarita were always there. Samokhina was also visited by her ex-husbands.

1. The daughter of actress Alexandra was the first to throw a handful of earth into her mother's grave. Behind her is Anna's first husband Alexander Samokhin.

2. Evgeny Leonov-Gladyshev: “Who knew that the disease was so severe?”

3. Mikhail Boyarsky was Samokhina's partner in the film Don Cesar de Bazan.

4. Andrei Urgant, together with Anna, played in the film "Russian Transit".

5. Alexander Polovtsev could hardly hold back his tears.

6. Sergei Selin and Sergei Koshonin cannot come to terms with the loss of a friend and colleague.

7. The funeral procession was led by Anna Samokhina's nephew Denis.

8. Anna's sister Margarita helped Samokhina cope with the trouble until the very end.

QUESTION OF THE DAY

Yesterday, one of the most beautiful actresses of Russian cinema, Anna Samokhina, was buried at the Smolensk cemetery. But in her personal life, not everything and not always went well.

Are beautiful women always happy?

Vadim BAZYKIN, Honored Pilot of Russia:

Happiness does not depend on beauty. Beauty is, of course, a gift from God. You have to treat her right. She inspires a person, but happiness does not depend on her.

Yuri KHALIMOV, chief endocrinologist of the St. Petersburg Health Committee:

No wonder they say: do not be born beautiful. With a beautiful woman, there is always more demand. She needs to keep fit. This applies to appearance, health, and intelligence. It is more discussed and condemned. On the other hand, the beauty believes that only a prince can be her husband. And there aren't enough of them. Therefore, many beautiful women remain single.

Question of the Day: "Are beautiful women always happy?". Yesterday, one of the most beautiful actresses of Russian cinema, Anna Samokhina, was buried at the Smolensk cemetery. But in her personal life, not everything and not always went well. Shooting - Katerina FILIPPOVA

Andre SUBERU, head of the Nigerian diaspora in St. Petersburg:

Everyone has their own destiny. And I knew Anna Samokhina personally. And I know firsthand what a good woman she was. And kind and talented people, unfortunately, do not live long. And beauty has nothing to do with it.

Yuri LABETSKY, artistic director of the Vyborg Theater "Holy Fortress":

All the actresses of our troupe are very beautiful women. Theater for them is their personal life. And here they are happy. And we do not ask them about what is happening behind the threshold of the stage.

Svetlana POPOVA, student

No. Beautiful girls have a lot of fans, and from such a choice, the head is spinning. It's hard for them to decide, but time goes by. This results in an internal conflict, and as a result, a woman is often left alone.

Vladislav ALEKSEEV, General Director of the football club "Dynamo":

A man makes a woman happy. I have a very beautiful wife, with whom we lived for almost forty years. We have two children and four grandchildren. And if she were asked such a question, she would answer without hesitation that she was very happy.

Teya DONGUZASHVILI, bronze medalist of the 2004 Olympic Games in judo:

People must decide their own destiny. Happiness is in our hands. And if someone is unhappy, it means that he is doing something wrong.

Alexey DEMIDOV, Rector of St. Petersburg State University

technology and design:

I don't see any relationship between a woman's appearance and her personal happiness. Much more important is the character, the inner world of a woman, her reliability.

Dmitry DANILOV, chef:

Not always. And there are many examples of that. For example, my wife's friend is a beautiful woman. But in her family there is no love, no sensitivity, no respect of the spouses for each other.

Anna MOLCHANOVA, film actress:

No. They, as a rule, expect a lot and demand from their men even during the dating period. And when they get married and family life begins, life gets stuck, discord begins. There is no happiness here.

Petersburg buried Anna Samokhina. The most beautiful Russian actress died on Monday night. She was only 47 years old. A bright woman with an incomparable smile, this is how her relatives and fans will remember her.

The actress did not want Mikhail Boyarsky to attend her funeral

Last Wednesday, the beautiful actress Anna SAMOKHINA found her last resting place at the Smolensk cemetery on Vasilyevsky Island in St. Petersburg. She rested next to the graves of St. Blessed Xenia of Petersburg, Pushkin's nanny Arina Rodionovna, mother of the legendary musician Viktor Tsoi - Valentina.

There were no problems with the burial place at the prestigious cemetery: Anna's first husband Alexandra Samokhina parents are buried here. Despite the divorce, the ex-spouses maintained warm friendly relations, because they had a common daughter, Alexander. Therefore, the ex-husband, who has long had another family, is now experiencing what happened as a personal drama.

Anya's mom and dad are buried in Cherepovets, Alexander told us. - She was left without parents very early: her dad died a little over 30, and her mother died at 52. Such is rock! And Anechka left quite young, at 47, and Sashenka was left without her dearest person. We all try to support her. Next to Sasha is her beloved person, I hope they will get married soon. I really want to see her happy, in recent months my daughter has been through terrible trials.

Sasha told me that when her mother was taken to the hospice, she lost her sleep. Literally every day I went there so that Anya would not feel abandoned.

Gone enlightened

Anna Samokhina died on the night of Monday 8 February. And just the day before, a ray of hope flashed through the family. On Sunday evening, Anna suddenly said that she felt much better. She was even able to sit up on the bed on her own, although before that she was not even able to move her leg.

Her voice became cheerful again, - says Alexander Samokhin, - we have not seen her like that for a long time. Sasha went to the hospice and called me. “Dad, she is better, mom is smiling,” the daughter rejoiced. And a few hours later it all happened. And she left with a smile on her beautiful face.

I am sure that before her death, Anya saw something very good, probably angels. It could not be otherwise, because she herself was a bright person. I have had another wife for a long time, but Anya has become like a sister to me.

Refused help

The farewell ceremony was somewhat delayed due to the fact that the elder sister of the actress, Margarita, was late with her arrival from another city. Only by one o'clock in the afternoon the body from the morgue on the Vyborg side was transported to Vasilyevsky Island to the temple. And before that, the people were waiting in separate groups. Everyone remembered when they saw the actress for the last time and what exactly they talked about with her.

Anya categorically did not want to see Boyarsky- I heard, stopping next to one of the companies. - But, probably, he will still come, you can’t not let someone go to the funeral.

Just at these words, Mikhail Sergeevich, wrapped up to his eyes with a scarf, appeared in the distance.

Look, - they whispered in the crowd, - Boyarsky! Disguised in such a way that you would not immediately recognize.

Without saying hello or talking to anyone, Boyarsky went into the temple, stayed there for several minutes and just as quickly left the territory of the cemetery.

We nevertheless decided to stop the star, asking him to say a few words about the deceased, and asked why she categorically refused the material assistance he offered.

I won’t say anything,” Boyarsky snapped. She refused not only my help, but help in general. By the way, she asked that there be no journalists at her funeral. I will follow the example of this smart woman and will not talk to you. Turning abruptly, he quickly walked away.

Dreamed of playing a saint

All other St. Petersburg celebrities were at the funeral until the very end. Can't hold back tears Semyon Strugachev, Evgeny Sidikhin, Olga Orlova, Sergei Selin, Alexander Polovtsev, Julia Sobolevskaya, Sergei Migitsko, Evgeny Leonov-Gladyshev. Hundreds of ordinary people also came to the cemetery - admirers of Samokhina's talent. The temple could not accommodate everyone, and people were waiting for the end of the funeral ceremony on the street, not paying attention to the 11-degree frost. Both women and men cried. Actor Sergey Koshonin He brought special equipment to the cemetery in advance, and an audio broadcast of the church rite was going on in the street.

It is no coincidence that Anna Vladlenovna rested next to Saint Xenia of Petersburg, - the priest of the Church of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God, father, shared with us. Victor, who buried the star. - They say that she really dreamed of playing this saint in a movie, she even already thought over the script. It is a very difficult task and a huge responsibility to play a holy man. Only a spiritually strong actor can do this. She would have succeeded. We will always pray for Anna and love her.

A friend of youth did not have time to say goodbye

We managed to talk on the phone with a man who was Anna Samokhina's first love. German Volgin I was very sorry that I could not come to the funeral.

I did not manage to say goodbye to Anechka, but I will certainly come to St. Petersburg to bow to her grave for nine or 40 days. We did not communicate with her for many years, I saw her daughter Sashenka only as a baby. I want to express my deepest condolences to her. When I read on the Internet that Anna was gone, I could not believe my eyes. At school she was Anechka Podgornaya. We studied in parallel classes and loved each other. Anya has always been a strong-willed person. She succeeded at school, no matter what she planned, and she had huge plans. She dreamed of being an actress and became. She would have made an excellent director. But I didn’t have time ... I can’t put up with it! After all, who, if not Anya, was supposed to defeat the disease ?! By nature, she has always been a fighter. Most likely, we broke up due to the fact that both were very ambitious. Alas, I could not keep her then. All my life I was going to come to her performance, but I did not dare. But I know that she always looked for me with her eyes in the hall. I did not have the courage to meet her, and now all that remains is to regret ...

Able to be different

Anna Samokhina was opened for cinema by assistant director Georgy Yungvald-Khilkevich Alexander Prosyanov. Here is what he said:

- Throughout the Union, Khilkevich was looking for a beautiful actress for the film "Prisoner of If Castle". My task was not easy - to see all the young actresses in several cities. Rostov-on-Don was the last in this list. The boardwalk, dilapidated stage of the Rostov Youth Theater struck me so much that I wanted to immediately turn around and leave. But I was prompted in time that a very beautiful young actress was serving in the theater and she would definitely fit. I headed to the actors' dorm. “How do actors live here?” - I was surprised, walking along the gloomy corridors of the hostel. I met Anya in the common kitchen. She, in a simple, old dressing gown and curlers, was standing by the stove. “Yes, well, what kind of Mercedes is this ?!” I thought. But Anya herself showed perseverance.

Wait, I'll show you my album now, and you'll see that I can be beautiful! Seeing the pictures, I was literally dumbfounded and realized that it was not in vain that I had traveled all over Russia. What Anna knew how to be different! God rest her!

The news that Anna SAMOKHINA died of cancer on the night of February 8shocked her relatives and fans. The actress was only 47 years old. Her close friend, producer Konstantin KULESHOV, is sure that the beauty had a chance for salvation, but they did not use it.

The fact that Anna was in the hospital with the fourth, inoperable stage of cancer, I found out too late. Common acquaintances accidentally saw her in the clinic, - Konstantin Kuleshov began the story. - She and her daughter hid the diagnosis, they said she just had an ulcer. Sasha then made excuses, as if her mother did not want to be seen in such a state! Anya's hair began to fall out, so she was shaved. But she even looked after herself in the clinic: she always had lip gloss, nail files, nail polish with her. So much time wasted because of these secrets! It was possible to use non-traditional methods of treatment, to attract people from all over the country who heal this terrible disease with herbs.

I have friends who have coped with cancer of the third and fourth stages. My wife was cured of leukemia by fasting under the supervision of a wonderful Belarusian professor Yevgeny Lappo. He uses his own technique: taking "living water", various herbs, horseradish compresses - the substances in it are able to find cancer cells and kill them. Samokhina was a strong-willed person, she could do it. But they didn't give her. First of all, sister. Rita, of course, will be offended by me for the truth, will spit in my direction, but the facts that I will tell you are blatant. I do not condemn anyone, God is the judge of us all. But Rita constantly interfered with the treatment, dripped on her sister's brains that everything was useless, it was not worth even trying. And she told Sasha and me: “Don’t torture her, let her die in peace.”

- But have you tried non-traditional treatment?

Yes, treat it with hunger. Anna immediately began to feel better, was able to walk, we even took her from the clinic. But on the fourth day Anya drank the juice and stopped fasting. Rita constantly slipped her meat products. Explaining this: let a person eat before death. What a death if we did everything for Anya's recovery! Why deprive a person of a chance? I forbade giving the sick meat, Rita continued to give her broths to drink. Although it is known that tumors develop in an acidic environment, meat-eaters have an acidic blood reaction. Vegetarians have an alkaline reaction, in which tumors do not develop and are even rejected. In medicine, the fact has long been known that fasting is a preventive measure to prevent the development of malignant tumors in the body. Rita also did not allow Samokhin to be treated with herbs. She lamented: let's pour out this bitter grass. And we'll pour you some soup. I somehow could not stand it and asked: do you have a personal interest in the death of your sister? She, of course, was outraged. But I myself heard her say: “I need to return to Moscow, so that everything would be resolved with Anya.”

The whole situation reminded me of a well-known anecdote. The orderly carries the patient on a gurney to the morgue. “Maybe still in intensive care?” - the patient asks. "Not. The doctor said to the morgue, so to the morgue.

Deadly apathy

- Did Anna really calmly reacted to the fact that she was taken to the hospice?

For the past two years, she has generally been in apathy. Wanted nothing from life. She refused her restaurant - they say, no one needs it. I sat on a disastrous diet: five days on coffee and cigarettes. By the way, together with my daughter - she has a predisposition to be overweight. I suggested that Anya go on vacation, relax, have a baby, finally. "What for?" she said indifferently. It seems that her career was developing well: she played in six performances, starred. But there was little to please her. Sasha says that her mother increasingly spoke out on the topic: what is the point in this life, what is the use of all this? I am sure that apathy was the cause of the onset of the disease.

- What do you have in mind?

There is such a book by the writer Vladimir Zhikarentsev "The Way to Freedom". The fact that we attract all diseases with our thoughts. The author assures that cancer causes disappointment in life and reflections on the topic "why is this all." Something like this needs to be driven away. Anya should have put her brains back in place. But after a series of troubles - the death of her mother-in-law, her driver crashed in her car, problems with real estate - she decided that her time had come to stand before God ...

It was a huge mistake to put Samokhina in a hospice! “Mom was stabbed with morphine here,” Sasha confessed to me in a panic. After chemotherapy, Anya became much worse. In a week, the tumor doubled in size - it became the size of a chicken egg and gave extensive metastases, the liver was seriously damaged. Sasha asked me to bring a cot to protect her mother from doctors. On that last Sunday, she and I begged the nurse for a couple not to go to the patient with a syringe of morphine. Anya herself said: “Why prick me? Nothing hurts me." But the nurse replied that in their hospice they were supposed to inject morphine three times. I suspect that when we left, she was still injected with a dose. But her liver and so could not cope with the purification of blood.

When did you last see Anya?

Sunday, February 7th. We read a prayer with Sasha, I kissed Anya and said that tomorrow I would pick her up from the hospice. She smiled, answered - we love you, Kostya. She was gone seven hours later.

pink cloud

- Did you love Samokhina?

And I don't hide it. My wife knew about our relationship and did not blame. “I understand you,” the wife said, “it’s impossible to resist a woman like Samokhina.” By the way, Anya became the godmother of my children.

We met her in 2006 at a restaurant she owned. Brought her a play. From the first minutes of communication, we felt mutual sympathy. There are many beautiful women, but there is no equal to Anya. Gracefully sexy, in manners, gestures similar to a panther. The energy of love emanated from her. Being next to her involved in an amazing atmosphere. When she touched, there was a feeling that you were in a pink cloud. As a woman, she was simply amazing! I can say this for sure, because I had a lot of them, however, like Anya's men. For all her fame, she had a big kind soul and no hint of stardom. Anya was worth a hundred women!

Did you confess your feelings to her?

Once upon a plane. Anya fell asleep - she always drank two hundred grams for courage. I leaned over to her and said one phrase, you can probably guess what it is. Without opening her eyes, she replied: I do not believe it. I was embarrassed to show her my feelings, she did not show hers. She was a reserved person, even her daughter was not fully revealed.

- You were not embarrassed by the age difference?

She didn't feel. Anya looked about 30 years old. Her age betrayed only life experience. In the conversation, it became clear that this is a woman who has experienced a lot in her lifetime, has been married several times, has an adult daughter. The closer we got, the more I liked her human qualities. I can't believe we lost her. Every time the phone rings, I subconsciously wait to hear her low, penetrating voice with a hoarse...

modest funeral

The artist's fans were surprised that she was carried out very modestly on her last journey. Due to tightness and overcrowding, many could not say goodbye to Samokhina. I was also struck by the talk that Anna did not want the presence of Mikhail BOYARSKY at her funeral. Konstantin KULESHOV told the reason.

As for the funeral, I told my daughter Samokhina Sasha: “Mom is a famous actress, millions love her, many will want to say goodbye to her,” says Konstantin. - She answered that people should remember their mother young and beautiful. Say, she would not want to be looked at in a coffin, and she herself would be against a civil memorial service. My proposal is to arrange a farewell and funeral service in the spacious Kazan Cathedral of the shallows. Sasha and her father decided to hold a funeral service in the church at the Smolensk cemetery. - As for Boyarsky, I knew that she was always afraid of him. In their youth, they had some kind of conflict on the set, but then they settled everything. By the way, I tried to call him to the hospital. Anya needed psychological help, and he was just the person who could shake her up. I called Mikhail, asked to come, but he never found the time. I think that's why he was so downcast at the funeral.
