Lyudmila Markovna some admired her, others hated her, and still others fell madly in love with her. On the occasion of the actress’s birthday, AiF.ru remembered only those men with whom she was in legal relationships.

Husband No. 1. Director

Gurchenko got married for the first time when she was 18 years old. Her chosen one was a famous director at that time Vasily Ordynsky. He fell in love with young Lucy at first sight. Whether this love was mutual is a big question. This marriage generally still remains a mystery, shrouded in darkness. For a long time neither those around Gurchenko nor those around Ordynsky knew about him. They say that Lucy married the director solely for convenience. She hoped that he would become her personal director. Ordynsky tried to meet her expectations. He invited her to audition for his film. However, the artistic council rejected Gurchenko's candidacy. Then the actress decided to end the marriage. Ordynsky was against it, but could not stop her. Their relationship lasted a little over a year.

Husband No. 2. Screenwriter

Not long after the divorce, Lucy truly fell in love. My love - a student of the screenwriting department Boris Andronikashvili- she met in the dining room. As the actress later admitted, when she saw her second husband for the first time, she almost dropped the tray from her hands. The sympathy turned out to be mutual, a whirlwind romance broke out, which ended in a wedding. At first family life turned out happily. Lucy and Boris practically never separated. Everything changed with the birth of my daughter Maria. Forced to take care of the child, Gurchenko began to notice that her husband was increasingly absent from home. And then they began to report to her that Boris was cheating on her. Convinced of the veracity of the rumors, she filed for divorce without any scenes or scandals.

Motherhood did not bring happiness to Gurchenko either. Firstly, I dreamed of a son. And a daughter was born. Secondly, she dreamed that her daughter would inherit her talents: voice, plasticity, acting talent, figure, in the end. But Masha disappointed Lyudmila Markovna in all these respects. The result was a quarrel and a break in a 19-year relationship. Maria learned about her mother’s death from the media. And now she herself has left for another world.

Husband No. 3. Actor

After breaking up with Andronikashvili, Lyusya was alone for two years. One day in one of the restaurants she was introduced to an actor Alexander Fadeev- adopted son famous writer. And although the acquaintance was casual, Fadeev set himself the goal of winning the actress’s hand. He succeeded very soon. Without really recognizing each other, Lucy and Sasha went to the registry office. This marriage did not last long. The actress quickly realized her mistake and offered to divorce.

Husband No. 4. Singer

About my relationship with Joseph Kobzon Gurchenko didn’t like to remember. However, this marriage was an event of all-Union significance. Kobzon courted Gurchenko for a long time, and in the end the actress gave up. The star couple was admired. It seemed that Lucy had finally found her happiness. However, it turned out to be very difficult for two complex personalities to get along under one roof. Conflicts and disagreements began almost from the first days of life together. All attempts to find a compromise led nowhere. Lucy realized that she would not be able to live with Kobzon. As in all previous times, Gurchenko became the initiator of the divorce.

Husband No. 5. Musician

After divorcing her fourth husband, the actress decided that there would be no more husbands in her life. She was already approaching forty when she met a young pianist Konstantin Kuperweis. This time, Gurchenko was in no hurry to go to the registry office - she wanted to get to know her new lover better. Konstantin, like no one else, felt the character of the actress and knew how to “adapt to her.” Of course, in the end Gurchenko gave up and got married again. Their relationship lasted almost 25 years. The actress was sure that this marriage was the last in her life. Konstantin was her support. Everything collapsed when Gurchenko found out: all these years, her husband has actually been living with two families. The divorce that followed this news became the most painful for Lucy.

Husband No. 6. Producer

In 1991, on the set of the film “Sex Fairy Tale,” Gurchenko met the producer Sergei Senin, who was 20 years younger than her. Of course, Lucy did not think about any relationship with him. But after a short time fate brought them together again. Gurchenko met Senin on the set of the film “Love”. After this meeting, Lucy realized that she did not want to part with this person. She considered him somewhat similar in character to her father, and he jokingly called her his daughter. The problem was that Senin was married and had a growing child. He was in no hurry to file for divorce. But hide the relationship with famous actress It turned out to be difficult. Senin’s wife found out that her wife and Gurchenko had more than just a creative relationship, and she filed for divorce herself. Lucy got married for the sixth time. This marriage became the happiest in her biography. As she herself called, Senin was the only one of all her husbands who became a truly close person to her.

Weekly AiF/Persona/11/12/2017

Speaking about Lyudmila Gurchenko, a woman with a vivid biography, many remember not the roles she played, but the details of her personal life, numerous husbands, “ family wars" with daughter. 7 years have passed since the death of the star, and the fate of her inheritance still attracts attention.

Biography and career

The future star was born in Kharkov on November 12, 1935, and survived 2 years of occupation. After graduating from general education and music school, she entered VGIK on the first try. Lyudmila Gurchenko has been popular with the opposite sex since her youth, and at the dawn of her acting biography she already began collecting a collection of husbands.

By the time she received her first role, she had been married and divorced.

After the success of “Carnival Night” in 1956, Gurchenko was not soon able to go beyond the role of a vaudeville actress. She began to receive invitations to dramatic roles only after her 40th birthday.

Actress in the film "Carnival Night"

On the account of Lyudmila Markovna:

  • one and a half hundred images embodied in cinema;
  • two dozen roles played in 6 theaters;
  • 17 music albums and 16 videos, including those filmed with the participation of other stars;
  • participation in numerous television programs and non-fiction projects.

The actress and singer also tried her hand as a director, composer, and wrote 3 autobiographical books.

Personal life

Lyudmila Gurchenko's life was not only intense creative biography, but also personal life, " femme fatale“Changed 6 husbands, but gave birth to only one daughter. The first husband of the 18-year-old student was 30-year-old director Vasily Ordynsky. Rumor has it that Lucy married the director, hoping for roles in his films, but the calculation did not materialize, and a little over a year later the couple divorced.


Lyudmila Gurchenko and her first husband Vasily Ordynsky

Gurchenko fell in love with Boris Andronikashvili, who studied at VGIK as a screenwriter at first sight. In 1958, the aspiring actress received her diploma, got married a second time, and a year later became a mother. The marriage for love turned out to be not much stronger and longer lasting than the first one, concluded for convenience. Soon after the birth of his daughter, Boris lost interest in his wife, rumors began to spread about his infidelities, and the family that had existed for 2 years fell apart.

Gurchenko, focusing on her career, delegated the upbringing of her daughter to her mother.

2 years after the divorce, she met the adopted son of the writer Alexander Fadeev. At the time of their meeting, Alexander Alexandrovich was playing in the theater and had not yet acted in films. By his standards, Lyudmila Gurchenko was a celebrity, and simply a very attractive woman, and Fadeev tried to win her over. The hasty third marriage lasted only 2 years, the actors did not have time to really get to know each other before the wedding, and family life turned into a series of disappointments.


Joseph Kobzon became the third legal husband of Lyudmila

Immediately, an affair began with another admirer, then still a rising pop star, Joseph Kobzon. Gurchenko met her future fourth husband at a difficult stage in her biography. The actress complained that all the directors she approached in search of work perceived her as an easily accessible woman and responded with unambiguous offers. Kobzon in those years was not so famous as to contribute to the career of his beloved, but his moral support turned out to be very valuable.

It is interesting that the “two stars” got married 3 years after the start of the romance, and only because during Kobzon’s New Year’s tour, they refused to be accommodated in the same hotel room with Gurchenko (Soviet “shape of morality!”).

Fortunately, the head of the Samara registry office turned out to be a fan of the talent of both, and urgently signed them up, despite the day off. The newly-made spouses were able to occupy one room legally.

The legal marriage lasted about as long as the premarital affair. Two bright creative personalities with complex characters were unable to start a family and separated in 1970. According to rumors, Kobzon had not officially divorced Lyudmila Gurchenko at the time of his marriage to Ninel Drizina, who gave birth to two children to the singer. After breaking up another relationship, the 35-year-old actress swore off getting married again. But soon pianist Konstantin Kuperweis appeared in her life. The singer began an affair with a young accompanist; the 14-year age difference did not bother them.


Lyudmila Gurchenko and Konstantin Kuperweis

“Attempt number 5” turned out to be more successful. Gurchenko and Cooperweis did not register their relationship, but they lived in a civil marriage for 18 years. Konstantin guessed desires and fulfilled the whims of his star wife, and she was sure that she had finally found her feminine happiness. The news that her common-law husband had a second family turned out to be a blow for Lyudmila Markovna; in 1991 they separated.

At the same time, Gurchenko, the leading actress in the film “Sex Tale,” met 30-year-old producer Sergei Senin. At first, the actress did not even think about a serious relationship with a man who was 2 years younger than her daughter. The situation was complicated by Senin’s wife and child. But at 93, he became Gurchenko’s sixth husband, and this marriage lasted until the star’s death in 2011. According to some reports, in 2010 she exchanged her husband for a young partner, handsome photographer Aslan Akhmadov. The rumors were fueled by a thematic photo shoot of Aslan and Lyudmila, based on the myth of Oedipus.


Lyudmila Gurchenko and Aslan Akhmadov

In the fall of 2010, 75-year-old Gurchenko announced her love in the show “Let Them Talk.” Around the same time, she was credited with an affair with her filming partner Maxim Averin (“Capercaillie”).

Conflict with daughter

The story about Lyudmila Gurchenko, her biography, personal life, husbands can be illustrated numerous photos, where the star is captured in various stage images, in the company of colleagues in the creative workshop and beloved men. But photos of her together with her daughter are rare; Maria was deprived of the attention of her mother-actress from birth.

The girl did not take after her mother in either beauty or talent, and even in defiance of her, she tried to dress tastelessly and in every possible way emphasized her own unattractiveness. Because of the star's mother-in-law, Maria Borisovna's marriage to Alexander Korolev broke up, although over time they got back together.


Actress daughter

The actress, disappointed in her daughter, who became a grandmother at the age of 46, had high hopes for her grandson and granddaughter. But her grandson died of a drug overdose at the age of 16, and Lyudmila Markovna blamed her daughter for this, aggravating the existing conflict.

Mother and daughter stopped communicating 5 years before the tragic death of Mark Korolev. After the next marriage of her star daughter, her mother gave her only granddaughter an apartment in the capital. Elena Alexandrovna lived for another 6 years, but she announced her will during her lifetime, driving another wedge between Lyudmila and Maria. Lyudmila Gurchenko was indignant, saying that the apartment was bought with her money, and tried to challenge the will in court.


The actress's granddaughter looks very much like her star grandmother

Because of this conflict, Maria appeared in her mother's house only after her death, claiming her share of the inheritance.

Death and inheritance

After suffering a hip fracture and a major operation in February 2011, Lyudmila Markovna never had time to recover. On March 30, she died of heart failure due to thromboembolism.

According to Alexander Shirvindt, the eternally young star simply could not come to terms with the onset of old age and chose death over it. The posthumous makeup was created by Aslan Akhmadov, who during his lifetime was the actress’s personal makeup artist.


Lyudmila Markovna loved spectacular and feminine images

On April 2, she was taken on her final journey. Contrary to at will, the actress was buried not on Vagankovsky, next to her parents and grandson, but on Novodevichy, next to other stars.

The heirs, a widower and a daughter, divided the property for 4 long years. Sergei wanted to keep his and Gurchenko’s shared apartment on Patriarch’s Street, planning to create a museum there. Maria was not delighted with this decision and demanded the 25% due to her by law. As a result of the agreement reached, she received in return a dacha in Novoglagolevo and a substantial monetary compensation, as well as valuable things of the mother.


Sergei Senin and Gurchenko

By the way, the only real jewel in Gurchenko’s inheritance were diamond earrings, a gift from Baskov for his 70th birthday. Other jewelry – high-quality costume jewelry.

Wealth did not bring happiness to Maria Borisovna; in November 2017, she died of acute heart failure in the entrance of her own house, not having time to get to the hospital. In 2018, the share of Lyudmila Gurchenko’s inheritance, won by her daughter (about 20 million rubles), went to the granddaughter and great-granddaughter of the actress. And about the creative heritage People's Artist The Museum-Workshop, which was opened by a widower on the 80th anniversary of her birth, will best tell.

Judging by the fact that Lyudmila Gurchenko fell in love more than once, love for her is the main source of inspiration.

Yesterday, March 30, Lyudmila Gurchenko died at the age of 76. Now the names of the six men whom the actress let into her heart will forever go down in the history of show business as the beloved husbands of the icon of Soviet cinema.

First husband Lyudmila Gurchenko was Boris Andronikashvili - screenwriter, historian, son of the writer and cousin of the Georgian directors Georgiy and Eldar Shengelaya. They had a daughter, Maria, who gave Lyudmila Gurchenko a granddaughter, Elena. The actress herself recalled her first love with tenderness: “Boris was a beauty. When I saw him in the dining room, the tray fell out of my hands.” But their love passed.

Second husband Gurchenko became Alexander Fadeev, Foster-son writer Alexander Fadeev. But, apparently, it was difficult for the actress to get along with the actor. "Two bright temperaments are nuclear bomb"Lyudmila Gurchenko later recalled.

Third husband was Joseph Kobzon. The singer did not like to comment on his marriage with Lyudmila Gurchenko. In all interviews, he spoke only about his last wife, Nele. Gurchenko also preferred not to talk about Kobzon, apparently so as not to compromise her popular ex-husband.


Lyudmila Gurchenko's third husband was Joseph Kobzon

Fourth husband became Konstantin Kuperweis. For 18 years, the musician was not only the accompanist of the actress, but also faithful husband. In one of her interviews, Lyudmila Gurchenko admitted: “Konstantin showered me with compliments - that’s what won me over.” But still, their love also ended one day.


The fifth and last husband of Lyudmila Gurchenko was producer Sergei Senin

Fifth and last husband The actress was producer Sergei Senin, whom she met during the filming of the film Sex Fairy Tale based on the book by Vladimir Nabokov. It was this husband who loved Lyudmila Gurchenko before last days her life, she died in his arms

The guest of the new episode of Boris Korchevnikov’s program is producer Sergei Senin, sixth and last husband famous actress Lyudmila Gurchenko. Sergei spent 18 years of his life with her. She was dying in his arms. Since then, he has spoken very little about their relationship, almost never given interviews and never talked about what it was like to live in the shadow of a great actress.

Sergei Senin recalled that their first meeting took place in 1990. Then he and his friend opened an independent film company, and director Elena Nikolaeva invited him to make a film based on Nabokov. On main role They took Lyudmila Gurchenko. The result of their work was the painting "Sex Tale". Gurchenko and Senin often met on the set, but at that time there was no talk of any relationship - the actress was married, and he was married.

But fate brought them together again and again. Later, Sergei divorced his first wife Galina, and she and her daughter moved to Israel. One day she called him and offered to hold a “Sex Tale” tour there so that Lyudmila Gurchenko would perform. “I was happy because I had a reason to dial Lucy’s phone number,” recalls Senin. The actress was given a small fee, so Sergei was sure that she would refuse. But, to his surprise, Gurchenko agreed - at that time she was worried difficult divorce with her husband, so she went to work...

As a result, it turned out that Sergei’s first wife pushed him to get closer to Lyudmila. Although Senin himself is sure that it all started much earlier, because it was thanks to Galina that he went to work in cinema in the first place: “If I had not married Gala, maybe today I would be teaching some kind of hydromechanics or something like that.”

After touring to Israel, Sergei and Lyudmila’s paths diverged for a while, but then something happened between them phone conversation and Gurchenko shared with him that she had an idea for a musical film. The actress invited Senin to meet if he was interested in taking part in this. Sergei recalled that at that moment he thought: “I will do everything. I will sell everything in the world to do this.”

Later, when they began to live together, they wrote a lot about Sergei Senin - they called him a gigolo, a swindler. After all, he is a quarter of a century younger than the actress. He himself comments on the age difference: “Believe me, I didn’t feel it at all. Gurchenko was beyond age, beyond time, absolutely modern man. It's very easy with her. I was the eldest in our family.”

Problems with Gurchenko’s daughter, Maria, also became a difficult page in their relationship. She refused to communicate with her mother, and after her death she began to share the inheritance with Senin. But, as Sergei said, now they communicate well, and the situation has been resolved. It’s just that Maria is a very trusting person, and next to her were not very smart and well-mannered people (whose names Senin did not name), who brought everything to a quarrel. “What a blessing that Lucy didn’t see all this. This is madness!” - Sergey commented.

In each of her vocal concerts, Lyudmila Gurchenko certainly performed the famous song from the movie “ Simple story”, where there are the words “how can you live in the world without love?” And the enchanting personal life of the actress, who seemed to personify this feeling, gave an unequivocal answer to that poetic question: absolutely impossible. Until the end of her days, her passionate nature was open to love.

Vasily Ordynsky

Lyusya Gurchenko met Vasily Ordynsky at VGIK, where she entered immediately after graduating high school in Kharkov. At the time of their acquaintance, she was 18 years old, he was 30. Also a Vgikov student, he just studied at the directing department and had already graduated from the institute. A front-line soldier, he went through the entire war as the commander of a mortar company. The communication between a young student and a young director quickly turned into a dizzying romance, which in 1953 brought the lovers to the registry office. This information prevails in various sources. But there is another reason why this marriage remained civil.

Be that as it may, while studying in her second year, Gurchenko received an invitation from her boyfriend to play the main role in the film “A Man is Born.” However, according to rumors, one of the “well-wishers” informed the members of the artistic council about their love affair. The masters considered it immoral to patronize their mistress, did not condone this and appointed another artist to the role - Olga Bgan. And yet, the director managed to “draw” his beloved into the picture - he approved her candidacy for voicing that very role...

Vasily also moved Kharkov resident Lyusya from a hostel near Moscow to his apartment. However, the lovers' life together did not work out; the marital union lasted a little more than a year. Subsequently, both kept silent about the reasons for the divorce. Only once did the actress mention that she “could not forgive the betrayal.” But other data indicate that Ordynsky was the initiator of the separation.

Boris Andronikashvili

As soon as she parted with Vasily, Lucy was overcome by a new feeling. VGIK student Boris Andronikashvili, a student of the screenwriting department, also became the chosen one. A charming 22-year-old Georgian, an intellectual and a handsome man, a musician, the son of the writer Boris Pilnyak and Princess Kira Georgievna Andronikashvili, an actress and director. On his mother's side, he was the successor of the famous Shengelaya cinematic dynasty (his aunt was actress Nato Vachnadze, mother of directors Georgiy and Eldar).


Boris Andronikashvili. Still from the film “Otarova’s Widow” (1957)

Boris accidentally ran into Lyudmila in the institute cafeteria. When she saw such a macho man, she dropped the tray. He picked it up. The romance began instantly, quickly began to gain momentum and ended with a wedding. Many VGIK girls were jealous of Gurchenko. And not only because of her dizzying romance with the handsome Borey - the dream of each of them. By this time, Lyudmila Gurchenko’s fame was at its zenith - she had already played her “star” role in Eldar Ryazanov’s film “Carnival Night”, and felt happy in all respects. By her own admission, she literally idolized her husband and praised the Lord for uniting them in a couple.

A year after the official marriage, the couple had a daughter, Maria. However, three years later, namely in 1960, Boris and Lyudmila broke up. According to the stories of acquaintances, a significant role in the breakdown of relations, in addition to the difference and explosiveness of characters, was played by the difference in creative positions: firstly, the husband categorically did not like to see his wife in the role of a comedian, and secondly, her resounding success infringed on his male pride .

And yet, this could hardly be a decisive factor: characters get used to it, roles change, success fades... A much more significant reason lay in the lifestyle that Boris began to lead. In her memoirs, the actress admitted: “He talentedly knew how to live nearby, being only on his shore. And I, with incredible willpower, had to learn to live alone together..." The fact is that my husband preferred a free, sociable, drunken and loving life to family affairs. “Kind” girlfriends did not fail to tell the young wife, immersed in worries about the child, about both her husband’s pastime and his many affairs.

Gurchenko did not clarify the details and sort things out; she also avoided scenes of jealousy, which, given her talent, she could have performed brilliantly. Instead, accepting what happened as a fact, she decided to rid herself of this reality, after which she filed for divorce, which was extremely difficult. As a result of this marriage, Lyudmila Markovna formulated for herself a fundamental taboo: on sacrificial love, which brings only suffering, and on the repeated birth of children, which force her to plunge into the abyss of household chores. And, crossing out forever ex-husband from her life, she also categorically deprived her daughter Masha of the opportunity to communicate with her own father.

After the divorce, Boris began to live civil marriage with Nonna Mordyukova, and two years later Lyudmila got married again.

Alexander Fadeev

The meeting with actor Alexander Fadeev Jr. (the son of the famous Moscow Art Theater artist Angelina Stepanova and the adopted son of the famous writer Alexander Fadeev - author of The Young Guard), took place in the fashionable VTO restaurant, where Soviet time creative bohemia gathered. A joker, womanizer and reveler, Sasha instantly charmed the young lonely actress and was fascinated by her himself. The short-lived romance very soon ended in marriage.

The newlyweds moved into a cooperative apartment “on Mayakovsk”, bought for them by Lyusina’s mother-in-law. And yet the decision to live together in marriage was clearly reckless and thoughtless. Disappointment was not long in coming. After existing for two years, the union disintegrated.

Tying yourself marriage ties, Alexander did not want to change anything in his life. He remained a failed artist and a regular at restaurants, visits to which ended in unbridled sprees, fortunately his father’s money allowed him to live in grand style, without denying himself anything.

Unfortunately, this wonderful idleness could achieve little for the family. Plus, the young man was uncontrollably jealous of his wife. They say that once, heavily drunk, tormented by the pangs of jealousy, he even shot at her with a hunting rifle. Fortunately, he missed... Describing this marriage of hers, Lyudmila Markovna said that that marriage did not give anything to either spouse, calling it an “unfortunate mistake” and a “blank” in her life.

Anatoly Vedenkin

Lyudmila Gurchenko’s close relationship with artist Anatoly Vedenkin did not last long. They met in 1972 on the set of the musical film " Summer dreams" Immersion in the screen images of spouses led to the emergence of sensual intimacy in real life. The entire film crew watched the development of the romance between people completely different from each other...

Boris Diodorov

Some sources claim that another official husband of Lyudmila Markovna was Boris Diodorov - People's Artist of Russia, professor, chief artist of the publishing house "Children's Literature", who illustrated more than three hundred books, including magnificent illustrations for fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen. In fact, there was no registered marriage. And there was a short romance - ardent and stormy. During which Boris Arkadyevich called his beloved “wife,” which was the reason for the confusion.

Boris's flaring feeling for Lyudmila was so strong that he broke up with his legal wife, the famous artist Natalya Kormushina, with whom he had been married for 16 years. It was in their house that Gurchenko and Diodorov met. As Tamara Valentinovna said in one interview, the capital’s creative intelligentsia often gathered in their apartment on Vernadsky Avenue, and... “One day Vysotsky brought Lucy to us. We knew there was a relationship between them. It’s not like an affair - they just slept together. Everyone at Mosfilm knew that Gurchenko was very loving.”

The meeting between the artist and the actress, initiated by Vladimir Vysotsky, led to Boris leaving the family and moving to Lyudmila’s apartment. According to relatives, Diodorov - a “quiet, calm, cheerful and driven” person - succumbed to the passionate temperament of the actress, who at that time was not in demand in the profession and, according to eyewitnesses, drank heavily. It was also said that Gurchenko “pressed terribly” on her lover, and if he had not managed to escape from her influence a year later, his life would have gone downhill. At the same time, Boris Arkadyevich developed an ideal relationship with Masha, the daughter of Lyudmila Markovna.

He himself recalled his marriage this way: “Lucine’s character manifested itself unbearably, she became irritated at the slightest provocation and without. And I tried to support her in everything, I took everything upon myself everyday problems and actually turned into her servant... This marriage could not end in anything other than a divorce.”

Joseph Kobzon

In fact, the separation occurred on Lyudmila’s initiative - she fell in love with the already successful Mosconcert artist Joseph Kobzon. An unexpected meeting in the corridor of the All-Union Theater Society (VTO) gave rise to a future intimate relationship, and then a marital union that lasted less than three years - from 1967 to 1970. Both spouses subsequently considered this marriage a colossal mistake. Nevertheless, the new stepfather was friendly with Masha and personally escorted the girl to first grade...

The life of the spouses was frantic - noisy, with discord and loud scandals. People from them close circle they recalled that sometimes it came to assault. Moreover, mutual. According to the stories, Lyudmila Markovna once, in a surge of emotions, threw an iron at Joseph Davydovich, hitting him in the head.

Many years later, the singer said that they did not plan to register their marriage, but took this step because they were denied room together in a hotel room while on tour. Recalling that relationship, Kobzon once admitted: “We were very passionate about each other, and I liked having such a beautiful, popular actress. He brought her gifts and flowers from everywhere. We were amazing lovers, and our sex happened wherever we happened to see each other ... "

Lyudmila Markovna remembered something else: “There was nothing good in this marriage,” she admitted. “You go out to the car given by your spouse, and you see a prostitute from the street there... It’s just dirty.” In her autobiographical book, the actress wrote: “He needed a director of his repertoire and appearance nearby. Great opportunities do not replace taste and style.”

Konstantin Kuperweis

If Joseph Kobzon was two years younger than his first wife, then the age difference between Lyudmila Markovna and her next, common-law husband, pianist Konstantin Kuperweiss, was more significant and amounted to 14 years. Which did not become an obstacle either to their 18-year life together (from 1973 to 1991), or to the fact that the actress’s 14-year-old daughter began to call Konstantin Tobyashevich “dad,” although he was only ten years older than her.


The meeting of the future spouses took place at a concert held as part of the Moscow Film Festival. Then the actress invited the pianist to dub her film, and he invited her to his birthday. Then there were romantic walks around Moscow, then a joint trip to Sevastopol. Gurchenko admitted that she felt absolutely happy, felt that she had finally waited - she had met the man of her dreams, with whom she could start life from scratch.

She adored her chosen one and ruled over him. And he, a talented musician, sacrificed everything for his wife, and first of all his own career. First of all, Konstantin became Gurchenko’s permanent accompanist, and from that time on, they prepared all the actress’s programs, including the well-known cycles “Favorite Songs” and “Songs of War,” together. But not only. Kuperweis was also Lyudmila Markovna’s director, administrator and secretary. In the questionnaires, in the “specialty” column, he wrote: “Gurchenko’s husband.”

Cherishing his wife, tirelessly caring for her, indulging her whims and caprices, helping to increase his fame, he himself always remained in the shadows. Subsequently he regretted it. He once admitted that his nerves began to fail because he was exhausted and psychologically exhausted by his wife’s endless nagging. I also recalled the following episode: once, angry at his wife who had unfairly offended him, he threw the phone at the wall in a rage. After which, from the lips of Lyudmila Markovna, who at that moment maintained an emphatically reinforced-concrete calm, came the remark: “Revolted?! Slave revolt."

That “rebellion” happened impulsively, but it preceded a conscious rebellion - Konstantin Kuperweis himself left his beloved. The admission that he had another woman became a sudden and cruel blow for Lyudmila Markovna. She didn't expect this. She described this situation in her memoirs approximately like this: “I always left marriages. And that’s why I especially take my hat off to Kostya. What a fine artist! So great to play!” She didn't suspect anything.

Sergey Senin

Soon after the breakup, Gurchenko met with Sergei Senin. 26 years younger than his chosen one, he is a producer and businessman, and remained the actress’s husband until her last day. Sergey Mikhailovich, a resident of Odessa, graduated from the Civil Engineering Institute, worked as a laboratory assistant, after which he got a job at the Odessa Film Studio. In 1993, he produced the film “Sex Tale”, on the set of which he met Lyudmila Markovna. The actress was 58 years old at the time. Senin is 32 years old, and he was an exemplary family man, the father of a young daughter.

Relations with Gurchenko developed rapidly, as if in a whirlwind, as witnessed by all members of the film crew. The producer's wife, who learned about her husband's infidelity, filed for divorce, which gave him the opportunity, avoiding legal red tape, to formalize the dissolution of the marriage and immediately enter into a new one - with Gurchenko. Their union lasted 18 years. True, Sergei Mikhailovich’s relationship with Maria, the daughter of Lyudmila Markovna, never clicked.
