Lyudmila Gurchenko Biography

Any role for her began with a suit, and her own outfit - with analysis, intuition and foreboding of the holiday. In the cinema and on stage, she dressed “under the image”, in everyday life - just enchanting. Someone explained her love for mannerism "post-war hunger for the beautiful." But this hunger was familiar to the millions of its compatriots, and for decades to sublimate a real chic from it - in a country where for many years they did not know what it was - it only happened at Gurchenko.

Tatyana Yakimova read all the interviews of the movie theater and deduced the DNA of her original and at the same time the reference style. Gurchenko’s analysis never considered herself beautiful and therefore constantly studied herself, emphasized dignity, masked shortcomings, made a bet on individuality, charisma, a radiant look - and the waist, of course. I went abroad a lot, watched persons, manners, outfits.

I absorbed and analyzed. And I so wanted to tell us about this "disorderly" women! Better yet, show. Holding one style in her head, managed to diversify her outfits, turned on intuition - and as a result appeared on the screen as even beauties. I know that when they saw me, many women suddenly took up themselves. I generally think: more often to watch your photos, look in the mirror and analyze what suits you and what does not happen, everyone needs - not only actresses.

” Having developed or, if you like, - finding her own style, Gurchenko was already quite condescending to fashion: “Style is a congenital, exclusively individual phenomenon. And the fashion is a transient thing and a little superficial: you acquired a fashionable thing, and you are already fashionable. Anyone can become such an "original". Today you are fashionable with your new little thing, and six months later a new collection arrived in time, and you are racking your head again, as if not to lag behind the steam locomotive!

In youth-responsible workers, in maturity-all who for some reason gave themselves such a right. I remember how, after the “carnival night” they sent a letter from the Komsomol committee: “You are dancing there, and you can see your knee! How can you?! Or a bang-as a sign of vulgarity. Because of this, I would walk with an open forehead for a long time and I wore narrow ones so that they would not flutter, so that it“ without a knee ”would give an interview with Soyuzmulture and hesitated that he was burning and convinced that he was burning that he would be an interview.

Our women need a fashion magazine, because we have so many beauties who simply do not know much about the style. God, how they took up arms against me! It was impossible. And today you can do everything! But be sure to find the one who says that Gurchenko again put something wrong. This is what you could not do before. The implementation of unrealized. And Self-irony: I put on some bold outfits, do something modern, and everyone knows when the “carnival night” came out and when I hear condemning the delay and gasp, I say: let's not go and gasp, but engage in yourself!

I somehow clearly hear time and clearly understand what is mine and what is not. ” Things her reverent attitude towards clothes had nothing to do with “things”. The outfits were her friends. Or - were not. And if you do not feel the image, you have no internal understanding of clothes, then pull everything you want on yourself, nothing will help anyway. When I dress, I know exactly what role I should play!

Everything, goodbye. The years "yes, I would not have thought about age if they had not reminded me of him." Designers Lyudmila Markovna were friends with many costume and fashion designers, but highlighted Zaitseva and most of all - Yudashkin. He seemed to peeped my dreams and fantasies. In each of his suit you feel like a character! The St. Petersburg fashion designers of Bunakov and Khokhlov made Gurchenko a costume for the Diva project, which they later presented with a headdress decorated with feathers.

In this costume, shortening Gurchenko’s skirt starred in the film “Famous Twilight”. In the latest film and her most - she acted as a director, producer, author of music, costume artist - this is not counting the main role. And the headdress remoded for the last clip for the song Zemfira “Want”. Even in the designer things made specially for her, Gurchenko introduced something of her.

But to the flattering question: “Why don't you open a fashion line? I don’t draw, I just know my style that suits me. And most importantly - I never lose the real idea of ​​myself in outfits, but only regarding myself. And in each business, a person should be sure of five hundred percent, then it makes sense to do this. ” Smells for the heroines of Gurchenko perfumes were important at least clothes.

And a little male cologne "Shipr". So I immediately plunged at that time! Gurchenko called these floral-aldehyde perfumes with notes of honeysuckle, but they were discontinued, like another actress’s favorite spirits-Clara Centinaro from Gandini Profumi. For a long time, she also used the “Marusia” of Glory Zaitsev - out of respect for the fashion designer, who adored her and called the “queen at the forefront of time”.

Her first expensive perfume was Ma Griffe from Carven, who adored the first superstar of Soviet cinema - Lyubov Orlova.At the same time, Gurchenko did not leave any perfume collection after itself, so it seems that the unique buttons, see creative, “started” it stronger than the most sophisticated perfumes. So she “exacerbated” the costume, adapting to her temperament, building a particular image.

When the costume or dress was tired, she cut off the buttons from them, and she seized or gave out the outfits. The buttons, stored in tin boxes from under the candies, then turned into brooches, earrings, were added to belts and hats, collars and cuffs: “Against the backdrop of dull faces, gray streets and costumes of the color of autumn mud, this always looks advantageous.” She modeled at random, rabbing by eye, she sewed only manually, mastered the most difficult embroidery and work with lace and made herself not only brooches, buttonholes and collars, but even hats.

At one time, she gave birth to such a wild fantasy in me! At night with a needle I did everything on a living thread. And then, already in Moscow, she slowly sewed tightly. I had one thing in my head: I have to go on stage in this dress today! The last husband of the actress Sergei Senin admitted: “For her, I put it in needles and beads kilometers.” Where did you buy?

Yes, so, accidentally got it, overseas and everyone believed. And then, after a while - to pour sleeves from him, and instead of folds - a skirt with a "pipe". And you go like a Japanese geisha, a bale-tie-tedo with heels. Know how to spin twenty times faster than you can. ” Marlene Dietrich Gurchenko was often called "Russian Marlene Dietrich", but she did not consider this comparison with flattering.

And she argued jealously. Why Marlene Dietrich?! She knew only one tonality - FI Minor. “Love and pigeons”, “five evenings”, “old walls” never played and did not imagine what a social role was. And since childhood she knew what good shoes are! Maybe we are compared by old age? It existed for a long time, and the rest I have nothing in common. It would be in our conditions when there was neither makeup nor costumes - I don’t know what she would do.

” The shoes even at the actress were on high -heeled shoes. By the way, shoes her, like a real primadonna, were often sewn to order. In theater workshops, at Mosfilm and it was beautiful! And how are you, a difficult relationship with age? Plastic - and plastic Lyudmila Markovna fought with old age bravely and not always reasonable. In the year, she was almost blinded due to repeated blepharoplasty.

And she did the first operation on the eyelids still young, at the Institute of Beauty on Kalininsky Prospekt, and without anesthesia - "so that there is no strong edema." In the middle of the zero, the number of its plastic surgery was discussed in the press almost more often than the dollar exchange rate. Most often, criticism looked like a real rudeness: “A woman has been for so many years, and she has been behaving like a girl, still needs to respect her age.” A separate genre of flat jokes about Gurchenko became in the "Comedy Club".

The actress and her husband Sergei Senin were going to sue humorists, but the topic was stalled. All these exercises in wit left the most important thing behind the scenes: even with half -covered centuries and enlarged lips, Gurchenko did not lose his individuality and seemed to ironized his own perfectionism.

She assured that the struggle for external form gives tremendous energy, the sources of which are increasingly difficult every year.
