Zhanna Friske and Olga Orlova: the story of true female friendship. Zhanna Friske's son was told that his grandmother Olga Kopylova had died Olga Friske

from severe cancer. In recent days, her parents, sister and close friend were next to her ..

close souls

The girls met in the "Brilliant" group. Olga Orlova was already a famous soloist of the girl group, and Zhanna initially claimed the role of artistic director. The producers of the group decided to try Friske as a soloist, so the "Brilliant" became a quartet.

It would seem that competition should have arisen between the girls, but Zhanna and Olga immediately felt kindred spirits in each other. The girls quickly became close, they had common interests and views on life. They always stayed close during the tour and even slept in the same room. Over time, their friendship left the boundaries of the profession and became an important part of the personal lives of both.

Test of glory and popularity

After leaving the "Brilliant" Olga, and then Zhanna, the singers each began their own thorny path to the stars. It's no secret that Friske did it better and faster than Orlova, but her friends were able to survive these difficulties. Not once, as Olga admits, envy and star fever did not get in their way.

General happiness

When Zhanna and Dmitry Shepelev had a son, Plato, the happy parents did not have a question about who would become the godmother of the baby. This important and responsible role, even before the birth of the baby, was assigned to Olga Orlova. Unfortunately, the happiness didn't last long...


Shortly after the birth of her son, Zhanna Friske was given a disappointing diagnosis - an inoperable brain tumor. The singer herself, her relatives and relatives, until the last, had hope for salvation, that the terrible ailment could be overcome. All these difficult months, Zhanna was next to her devoted and faithful friend - Olga Orlova.

Miracle didn't happen

Despite all the efforts of doctors and the prayers of relatives, Zhanna Friske could not be saved. Any singer in millions died in her house on June 15, 2015 in the arms of one of her closest people, Olya's friend. A few hours after Zhanna's death, Orlova wrote in her microblog: "Goodbye, my girl ... Sleep well ... You will forever remain in my heart" (Orff. and Paragraph. Author saved, approx. Ed.).


Six months after Zhanna's death, Olga Orlova wrote the song "Farewell, my friend" and shot a video for it. It's impossible to watch without crying! Yes, and Olga herself does not try to restrain her emotions, and even during the performance of the song, the singer cries and mourns for her departed friend.

Such female friendship in our life is rare, especially if we are talking about the cruel and insidious world of show business, where everyone is for himself ...

Life goes on!

Two years after Zhanna's death, Olga Orlova does not stop supporting Friske's orphaned parents, as well as participating in the upbringing of little Plato.


The story of friendship between Zhanna and Olga ended unforgivably early, but it gives fans of both girls faith in people and hope for a brighter future. After all, no matter what, life goes on!

JoInfoMedia journalist Marina Korneva recalls that we previously said in different years own life.

The day before, the relatives of the late singer Zhanna Friske came to the air of Andrey Malakhov's program “Tonight”, timed to coincide with the first anniversary of the death of the artist. This interview was the first for the mother of the singer. Olga Vladimirovna for the first time after the death of her beloved daughter spoke about last days the life of Jeanne and the grandson Plato.

Olga admitted that if her daughter had known that she was sick before pregnancy, she would not have given birth to a child. She said: “No, if Jeanne knew that she was sick, she would not have given birth. We learned after June 7 about her diagnosis. There was a terrible thunderstorm, we were driving in a car, she was driving, it rumbled terribly, and Jeanne grabbed her head and said with such pain in her voice: “Mom, my head hurts terribly.” We got to the pharmacy, bought medicines, but she could not take everything, she was breastfeeding. We sat on pills for two days, and then we were advised to have an MRI, and then we found out everything.”

It was difficult for Zhanna's mother to tell how her daughter died. But she found strength in herself and spoke about the events of that tragic day for their family: “It was unexpected. We understood that it was very difficult for Zhanna, she was already unconscious. In the morning I went to Kashirka for food, Zhanna Lately fed through a tube, the nurse called me, said that she was alone in the house, and Zhanna began to suffer agony. I flew home, I don't remember how. Jeanne was given an injection, she felt better. We were all there when she left. I went into the next room to lie down, and at that time my husband came in and said: "Jeanne is no more."

Olga Vladimirovna also spoke about her relationship with the presenter Dmitry Shepelev. She admitted that her son-in-law never liked to visit them at home: “Dima rarely came to us, for some reason he did not like our house. We didn't have any dialogue with him. I had Small child and daughter nearby. Nothing else worried me. And for Dima, this topic was not interesting, for him Zhanna had already died a long time ago. If he had respected Jeanne, he would have given us a child. But he does not respect her, although he shouts about his love to the whole world. Plato will grow up, my grandmother will grow old, but I will wait anyway.

At the end of the program, the heartbroken mother of Zhanna Friske turned to all viewers and guests of the studio: “Take care of each other, love and understand each other. I want to thank everyone who supported us and helped us with prayers, financially, mentally, calls, who just came up and spoke kind words to us. We love you very much. May God grant you all health, peace in your home and family.”

Zhanna Friske's relatives still cannot share the singer's inheritance

Two years have passed since the wonderful singer, TV presenter and actress Zhanna Friske passed away.

The brain tumor did not leave her a chance to survive, but relatives, friends and fans believed in a miracle until the last day.

One of those who supported the singer all the time was her friend Olga Orlova.

Such friendship is rare not only in show business, but in life in general. The girls met in the "Brilliant" group, where Friske first came as an artistic director.

Orlova was not afraid of competition in the person of Zhanna and met her with open arms. The girls quickly found mutual language perhaps due to similar fates.


Both were brought up in strictness, and they began to sing against the wishes of their parents. They were together not only in work time but also during leisure hours. Friske was 3 years older than Orlova and took care of her like younger sister. Who then knew that in 20 years they would switch roles ...

On April 7, 2013, Zhanna became a mother for the first time. The question of who will be the godmother was not even discussed - Olga happily agreed to play this role.


Even during pregnancy, Zhanna complained of feeling unwell, and later she was diagnosed with a tumor.


Friska needed expensive treatment abroad, and Olga decided to accompany her friend to America.


The singer's condition gradually improved, she refused a wheelchair and made plans for the future.


Once Zhanna called Olga and said that her civil husband Dmitry Shepelev proposed to her. They were going to get married immediately after Jeanne's recovery, in which both believed.


But still, the disease turned out to be stronger than medicine and the prayers of loved ones. Not having lived just a few weeks before her 41st birthday, Zhanna Friske died in country house your parents. In the last minutes of her life, Olga Orlova was with her.


When Friske died, Olga wrote on her page: "Goodbye, my girl ... Sleep well ... You will forever remain in my heart."


Orlova recently posted a “forbidden” photo with Zhanna on her Instagram.


In the picture, still very young girls are standing near the painting by the artist Melchior de Hondekuter "Birds in the park against the background of the wall." The “forbiddenness” of photography lies in the fact that it was forbidden to take photographs in the Hermitage.


The TV presenter timed the publication to coincide with the birthday of a deceased friend.

Perhaps such a friendship is very rare. There is no doubt that Olga will always support the family and loved ones of Zhanna Friske.

Female friendship is not a myth or a fairy tale, but a great, sincere feeling that paints life with bright colors and gives priceless memories. Best friends Zhanna Friske and Olga Orlova had the good fortune to meet on their life path a person who will always understand, support and be there.

On June 15, the famous artist Zhanna Friske died. The most severe disease - an inoperable brain tumor - despite the efforts of Zhanna herself, the doctors and the prayers of her fans, turned out to be stronger than her. A few months ago, Zhanna's condition deteriorated sharply, she lost her sight, stopped recognizing her loved ones and fell into a coma. Jeanne died in her parents' country house. At this time, her parents were next to her, Native sister Natasha and best friend - Olga Orlova.

Olga Orlova and Zhanna Friske are a true and touching refutation of the fact that female friendship can not be. They spent half their lives literally side by side, only occasionally parting for a short time. In 2014, they celebrated the anniversary of their friendship. "Do you believe in female friendship?" - Tirelessly asks one or the other edition. And there are people who do not need to believe, they just know that it is. Women's friendship is often compared to a guitar string - if you pull it a little harder, it will burst, hurting everyone who was nearby. But talented musicians know exactly how to make this string open in all its strength and beauty. Zhanna Friske and Olga Orlova knew how to be friends. Time heals, grief and despair from loss best friend they will subside over time, and great happiness - to spend 20 years next to your soulmate, to understand each other perfectly and support in everything - will remain warm memories, for which you should thank fate.

Zhanna Friske and Olga Orlova as part of the group "Brilliant"

For Zhanna and Olga, it all started with the Brilliant group, where the soloists of the group met. Psychologists unanimously argue that where there is a hint of competition, female friendship is out of the question. The fear of being overshadowed by your more successful girlfriend destroys warm relationships. Apparently, the soloists of the "Brilliant" had no time to think about competition - they gave 50-55 concerts a month, and for one new year's eve managed to go around to 10 places! In those years, the girls had to go through fire, water and copper pipes. “We were young, vulnerable girls who were easily offended. But in any situation, they came to each other for support, and life became easier, ”recalls Olga in an interview with Antenna-Telesem.

Zhanna was only 4 years older than her friend, but then she immediately took on the role of an older and caring sister. In an interview, Orlova admitted: “Jeanne took care of me. She was such a mother hen. She always had some syrniki in her bag, which she took with her so that I would never go hungry.”

On June 15, Zhanna Friske passed away. She was a talented singer and a bright person who looked at life with faith and optimism. We remembered the most inspiring quotes from Jeanne.

The composition of the "Brilliant", in which Zhanna and Olga sang, is still called the brightest and most memorable in the history of the group. But talented people sooner or later it becomes crowded within musical group. Olga was the first to decide to leave the project, and in 2000 she left it to give birth to a child. Already in 2001, she held a casting and created a new group. "This is my first independent work with which I am satisfied. It was interesting to work, but, to be honest, it was difficult - after all, you have to do everything yourself. But you yourself control the process, you do not depend on anyone, and you also receive all the dividends yourself. I am satisfied with the result!” Orlova said then.

Jeanne remained in the "Brilliant" until 2003. Despite active, but such different work schedules, the girls continued to be friends during these years. Thinking about participating in a television project " Last Hero", Zhanna first of all turned to Olga for advice: "I called Olga Orlova," she later recalled. “Listen, Orel, how is it? Orlova, although fragile, small, is able to endure a lot, I know this from the experience of the tour of the "Brilliant", but even she admitted: - It is very difficult to endure hunger. But you can do it. If you want to test yourself, go."

Psychologists' favorite "Achilles heel" in the matter of female friendship is relationships with men. Statistics prove that between a friend and a loved one, we most often choose the latter, and those who have been with us since school or, as in the case of Zhanna Friske and Olga Orlova, from the very beginning of their careers, are in the background. What can we say about the favorite plots for love dramas, when a friend takes her husband away? So, as soon as love intervenes in the relationship of two women, then, they say, friendship ends.

I would like to believe that the friendship of Olga and Jeanne is not a rare exception to this rule, but quite a clear refutation of it. With her future husband Zhanna Friske - TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev - Olga Orlova met first. This happened on the set of the program "Property of the Republic". “Later she said that she had a loved one and this is Dima. I was absolutely happy for her. I didn't care who the man was. The choice of friends is not discussed. The main thing is that she should feel good, ”Olga immediately took this position.

At first they spoke about the novel of Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev as another rumor, a newspaper duck, but soon the information was confirmed, and on April 7, 2013, the couple had a son, Plato, in Miami.

Already at this time, Zhanna and her relatives learned about terrible disease. The singer began to complain of headaches during pregnancy. Despite the risk to health and life, Zhanna made a courageous and noble decision to leave the child. In January 2014, the news of Zhanna Friske's illness became public and was officially confirmed by her family.

From the very beginning difficult period in the life of a star, Olga Orlova was next to her. She left all her affairs without hesitation and went with her to the USA for treatment, visited Jurmala, where Zhanna lived with her family for some time, and after her friend returned to her homeland, she settled in her country house and helped with care. A pure soul and a disinterested desire to make her friend happy, to alleviate her situation, undoubtedly helped Jeanne a lot. Olga shared her friend’s success with the press with great pleasure: “Now I can boast that I wake up in the morning because she comes into my room and brings freshly squeezed juice that she prepared for me. And for lunch he brings eggplant with cheese. I eat them with such pleasure, because it is worth a lot.

The departure of a best friend is an unbearably difficult test for everyone. Words by Olga Orlova, published after Jeanne's death in in social networks full of pain, longing and despair. But even in this situation, she thinks first of all about her loved ones and remains a person whom they can completely trust - Olga promises to take care of her little son Frisk, whom she became a godmother: “ There is nothing more important than just loving a child. If there is another person on earth who adores him, fine. Love is a powerful energy, it works wonders. I believe godmother is another guardian angel».
