Which of the artists died in April. Famous Soviet actors who died in oblivion

Sometimes death takes our idols so early, and it seems that the star of their glory has faded before it fully ascended into the sky. The heroes of our today's selection did not even manage to live up to 30 years old - they left our world very young.

Please note that this material is dedicated to foreign stars. The website Find out everything.rf has a separate article devoted to Russian celebrities who died early.

Jimi Hendrix

The fame story of Jimi Hendrix, the most skillful guitarist according to Time, began in September 1966. He, a young musician from God, was discovered in the USA and brought to England by the former bassist of the Animals band Chas Chandler, who became the producer of the new project The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

His bright Star ascended instantly: the inexperienced British public was shocked by his colorful outfits and playing technique. He could solo the guitar with his elbows, pluck the strings with his teeth, or hold the guitar behind his back. During a concert on March 31, 1967, he set fire to his instrument for the first time. Although that day he ended up in the hospital with burns to his hands, later this number became one of his “chips”.

Three years of popularity drove a simple black boy from Seattle crazy: he began to drink alcohol in inhuman quantities, became addicted to LSD, heroin and drugs. On the night of September 18, 1970, he took ten sleeping pills and died in his sleep, choking on vomit.

Janis Joplin

A native of conservative Texas, Janis Joplin, who was destined to become the greatest rock singer in history, from childhood felt "a stranger among the dumb." In an attempt to escape the mental stuffiness of her native Port Arthur, she traveled to roadside clubs, where she honed her vocal skills until entering the University of Texas at Austin.

Fateful was the meeting with members of the group Big Brother and the Holding Company, who offered her a position as a vocalist. For the rock culture, which up to this point was dominated by men, her appearance was a phenomenon. The aggressive, powerful voice of Janis Joplin, full of wild eroticism, hypnotized thousands of listeners who sold out tickets at lightning speed. She has been called "the voice of a generation" and "the angel of the Cultural Revolution".

Like many colleagues in the "Club 27" (which includes all the musicians who seriously influenced rock culture who died at exactly 27 years old), Janis Joplin used heavy drugs which destroyed her. October 4, 1970, in the midst of work on a new album, being complete, according to friends, vitality and optimism, she died by mistakenly injecting too much heroin.

Jim Morrison

The short life of The Doors frontman Jim Morrison became a symbol of rebellious spirit and freedom, and he himself received the status of a legend during his lifetime. His surrealistic gloomy poetry in the genre of "ver libre" ("free verse", a transitional link between poetry and prose) rejected pre-existing canons and laughed at them.

Singing nihilism and death, the philosophy of self-destruction, he himself lived in full accordance with it. On July 3, 1971, his lifeless body was found in the bathroom of a Paris hotel. official reason death was heart failure caused by a heroin overdose. The 27-year-old musician was buried at the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris.

Kurt Cobain

Contrary to popular belief, Nirvana was not a pioneer in the grunge genre. Before them, Soundgarden and Melvins, Malfunkshun and Skin Yard, and dozens of bands with a similar "dirty" sound, depressive lyrics and theatrical nihilism already existed on the scene.

But it was Nirvana with the inimitably hoarse vocals of Kurt Cobain that blew up the music world in 1991 by releasing their second album, Nevermind, which fell into what is called a fashionable stream. "Generation X Preachers" was how music critics spoke of Nirvana. They had 400,000 copies of "Nevermind" alone sold every week, respect for the "whales" of the rock scene, and deity status in the eyes of young people.

It all ended on April 8, 1994, when 27-year-old Kurt Cobain was found dead at his home in Seattle with a bullet hole through his head. The musician suffered from bipolar disorder, which worsened heroin addiction which plunged him into a deep depression.

Amy Winehouse

“In our boring time, legendary figures are no longer born,” some listeners complain, apparently suffering from nostalgia for the 60s. But the influence of Amy Winehouse on musical culture easily refutes these words.

After the release of her debut album "Frank", the 20-year-old singer was dubbed "the new Ella Fitzgerald and Buddy Holiday in one bottle." Her voice with a range of 4 octaves (plus one more note) helped her break the record for winning Grammys among solo singers. Both of her albums went platinum multiple times and topped the world charts.

On July 23, 2011, the singer joined Club 27. She died of a heart attack, which was caused by alcohol intoxication. The media claimed that the girl's blood alcohol level exceeded the lethal dose by 5 times. Later it became known that on the night before his death Amy Winehouse bought an impressive amount of heroin and crack from the dealer - they may have driven the final nail in her coffin.

Brandon Lee

Son of the legendary Bruce Lee early years promised, if not to surpass his father, then at least not to disgrace his name. By the age of five, the boy who studied kung fu calmly walked on his hands and could reach the head of an adult in a jump.

When the boy was 8 years old, his father died mysteriously after taking a headache pill. It is not known what internal demons Brandon had to overcome after that, but there was no trace of the sociable and benevolent boy. Comrades at the acting school remembered him as a closed, aggressive and gloomy young man who never made contact first.

The first films with his participation were not successful. He diligently demonstrated kung fu skills in action films, but the audience did not want to perceive him independently, and not as "the son of famous parent". On this basis, Lee Jr. developed depression, which was helped by the success of his new film Operation Laser. Since 1990 his actor career and personal life went uphill: he starred with Dolph Lundgren in "Showdown in Little Tokyo", played a key role in the action movie "White Fire" and met his future bride Eliza Hutton.

The gothic film The Raven, permeated with the idea of ​​​​retribution, was supposed to finally secure his status as a rising Hollywood star. On March 31, 1993, while filming a gunshot scene, a plug was fired from the muzzle of a gun pointed at Brandon along with the bullet. She hit the actor in the stomach, crushing the spine and internal organs. Brandon bled out on the operating table for several hours. Having managed to say goodbye to the bride (the wedding was to take place in 17 days), he died at the age of 29, joining the ranks of the actors who died on the set.

Buddy Holly

Not afraid of accusations of excessive pathos, Buddy Holly can be called a key figure in the rock and roll scene. The musical prodigy mastered the guitar, violin and piano by the age of 10, at 12 he began to compose his own songs, and at 19 he performed as an opening act for Elvis Presley.

In 1956, he won the love of listeners as part of the group "Buddy Holly & The Tunes" (aka "The Crickets") after the release of the young singer's first hit - "That'll Be the Day". A hater of racial segregation, he performed in areas where no "white" performer would go. During his life, Buddy Holly wrote about 120 songs that inspired cult musicians of the following decades: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan.

Buddy Holly was destined to enjoy success for only two years. adherent healthy lifestyle life, he died not at all from alcohol or drugs. On February 3, 1959, he was in a plane crash. The plane got into a storm and crashed 13 kilometers from runway. 22-year-old Buddy crashed along with musicians Ritchie Valens and Big Bopper flying with him. Since then, this date in America is known as "The Day the Music Died".

River Phoenix

In the early 90s, the name River Phoenix was no less famous than the name of Bruce Lee's son. Having got into the cinema at the age of 10, the little actor played a dozen minor roles, and then loudly announced himself in the drama Stay with Me (1986).

This was followed by shooting in "Indiana Jones" (he played the young hero Harrison Ford), a delightful tandem with young Keanu Reeves in the drama "My Own Private Idaho", the main roles in the melodramas "Stupid Bet" and "The Thing Called Love".

Undoubtedly, he was talented, but unfortunately he got too familiar with drugs. On October 31, 1993, while working on the film Dark Blood, he died in front of the Viper Room nightclub. An autopsy revealed a shock mixture of cocaine, heroin, ephedrine and diazepam in the actor's blood.

Heath Ledger

The world learned about Heath Ledger after the premiere of the sentimental "blue" drama "Brokeback Mountain": the kiss scene with Jake Gyllenhaal was recognized as the best according to the MTV channel. The film itself won three Oscars and four Golden Globes, not counting a string of lower-ranking film awards.

In 2007, Ledger starred in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight, dethroning Jack Nicholson as "cinema's best Joker" and winning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Alas, posthumously.

In 2008, while filming The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Heath Ledger died of an overdose. medicines. He was not a drug addict - by coincidence, he mixed the powerful painkillers Vicodin and Codeine, the sedatives Valium and Xanax, and the sleeping pills Restoril and Eunice. All were prescribed by doctors.

"Imaginarium" became last role 28 year old actor. In the final cut, his role was "split" into three actors: Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law; each played one of Ledger's character alter egos.

Tupac Shakur

Tupac Shakur was at that time and place - at the moment when the gangsta rap scene was ready to make contact with the multi-million dollar mainstream industry. Starting to record his first compositions in 1987, he achieved success and recognition by 1990 as part of the Digital Underground group, after their track Same Song was featured in the movie All the Trouble.

The first solo album "2Pacalypse", recognized by critics as a "certified hip-hop classic", was not long in coming. It was this record that subsequently inspired the work of a white boy, who became famous under the pseudonym Eminem. Two more albums later, the disc “All Eyez On Me” saw the light, which received the status of five times platinum. In total, about 75 million of his albums were sold, which provided the rapper with the status of one of the best-selling musicians in history.

On September 7, 1996, Tupac Shakur, along with his producer Night Suga, was returning from the club in a BMW car. When they stopped at an intersection, a mysterious white Cadillac drove up to them. Its passengers, who remained unknown, opened fire on the BMW. Ricochet, one of the bullets hit the rapper's lung.

Tupac managed to be taken to the hospital, but it was not possible to save him: a week later he died without regaining consciousness. According to the will, his body was cremated, and Tupac's friends mixed his ashes with marijuana and smoked. Three months before his death, he was 25 years old.

Anton Yelchin

Hollywood actor Anton Yelchin, a native of Leningrad, who emigrated to the United States with his parents at an unconscious age, has always evoked sympathy from Russian viewers.

His path to fame was thorny: he unsuccessfully auditioned for the role of the main character of the Potter series, which eventually went to the lucky Daniel Radcliffe, went through " copper pipes"A dozen supporting roles in popular TV shows, until he finally got the lead role in the Guardian Angel melodrama." Then, in 2005, he announced himself in the crime drama Alpha Dog.

World fame came to him with the role of the navigator Chekhov from the rebooted in 2009 franchise " star way". After the premiere, he became one of the most sought-after young actors.

Shortly before the release of the third part of Star Trek, the actor had an accident. Leaving the car, he forgot to put it on the handbrake. The car started moving and squeezed the owner between the trunk and the fence. The time was late, and no one heard his cries for help. Such talent and such an absurd death!

A string of deaths has taken the lives of several actors this year. They did not leave behind dozens of films, since they starred mainly in TV series, but managed to earn the love of viewers before their lives were tragically cut short.

Sergei Saleev

The actor passed away on November 1, but the press became aware of this only two weeks later. The body of the 48-year-old artist was found in the bathroom. Alcohol poisoning was called as a preliminary version of Saleev's death.

According to relatives of the actor, recent times he suffered from creative lack of demand and, as a result, lack of money.

Shortly before his death, Saleev went on a drinking binge and left a post on Facebook that seemed strange to his friends:

Life is the best that is given to such unbridled idiots like us, who give the “loafers” in the hall the best, the most secret, the true, demanding nothing, nothing in return. Glory to the profession, glory, glory to the Actors!!!

Initially, Saleev played in the theater, but when he moved from Yekaterinburg to St. Petersburg, he did not work out with the stage. He began to play maniacs, victims, monsters and recognizable movie characters in quests.

TV viewers know him by his roles in the series " Sea Devils. Smerch-3”, “It was in Gavrilovka”.

Egor Klinaev

At the end of September, fans of 18-year-old Yegor Klinaev were shocked by the news of the death of their beloved actor.

A young man when stopped to help those injured in an accident. He was hit by a passing car. The aspiring actor died before the ambulance arrived.

He got his driver's license five months before the tragedy. In social networks, Yegor boasted of his rights. Then no one suspected that it was the road that would take his life.

The star of the television series "Fizruk" admitted that he sees himself in 10 years "forever young, in demand, with inexhaustible ideas, with a wonderful wife and two kids."

During my life, many people passed on the set, from which there are no memories, and Yegor, surprisingly, despite his youth, had a very sharp mind, a phenomenal sense of humor. This is visible in the frame.

The deceased actor began his career in the famous Fidget group. In 2012, he played a major role in the film "The Secret of Yegor". Then he starred in youth series, among them was Fizruk.

Natalya Yunnikova

In September, two days before the death of her colleague Yegor Klinaev, actress Natalya Yunnikova died. She performed more than a dozen episodic roles in various films, but the audience remembered for the role of the investigator Vasilisa Mikhailova in the TV series "The Return of Mukhtar".

At the age of 37 after she collapsed in a cardiogenic syncope at home. She suffered a massive cerebral hemorrhage after hitting her head on a table.

The doctors put her in. The actress died two weeks later without regaining consciousness.

She left her 11-year-old son Roland, who, after the death of his mother, began to live with his father, director Anton Fedotov.

Later, the media began to write that one of the reasons for her early departure from life was "lack of demand in the profession and loneliness." After The Return of Mukhtar, Yunnikova was no longer filmed, since the directors saw her only in the form of the investigator Vasilisa.

It is worth noting that before her death, she still managed to take part in the filming of the series "Ivanov-Ivanov", but since not all episodes were filmed before Yunnikova's death, the director decided to redo the material by changing the actress.

Kazimir Liske

American Casimir Liske became famous in Russia thanks to the series "Interns". He played the role of an English patient in love.

In our country, Kazimir found not only creative success, but also a family. In 2016, their son Oliver was born with his wife Polina Grishina-Liske.

The actor passed away in April of this year. He was taken to one of the Moscow hospitals, where the 35-year-old artist died from injuries incompatible with life.

The wife and close friend of Kazimir, artistic director of the Praktika Theater Ivan Vyrypaev, called the death of the actor an accident.

Kaz was going through a serious mental instability. You can call it a disease. He came home at one in the morning, talked to Polina. No one saw in him any signs of panic or mental instability ... And we are all sure that he did not want to do this at all, just the illness and mental state that he suppressed and hid even from his loved ones pushed his body into the sky, wrote Vyrypaev.

Actor Liske, in addition to the series Interns, starred in such films as Ivan the Terrible and Capital of Sin.

Every year people die. Known, unknown ... Sometimes you remember an actor, singer, you want to learn new things about his work, and those around you remind: what are you, he's already dead!
