A brilliant actor, a strong personality, a sparkling comedian - all these words relate to the hero of our article. During his life, Jan Arlazorov managed to win the hearts of all viewers. Almost every person in our country (and beyond its borders too) knows the work of our hero. He is recognizable and loved by the people. How did he appear, who is this person and why was he so popular?

Yan Arlazorov: biography

Our hero's family was the most ordinary. Arlazorov Yan Mayorovich (although this is not entirely correct, more precisely - Meyerovich) was born into a Jewish family on August 26, 1947 in Moscow. His father, Maer Shmulevich (Meyer Samoilovich) Shulrufer, was born in 1923, a participant in the Great Patriotic War, after which he worked as a lawyer. Mother, Raisa Yakovlevna Arlazorova, is a surgeon. Jan's younger brother, Leonid Meyerovich Shulrufer, continued his mother's work.

In many ways, Jan inherited his talent and craving for art from his grandfather, who worked at the Vakhtangov Theater.

While studying at school, our hero often skipped classes. Unfortunately for his parents, Yang was a fat child. Due to problems with being overweight, his mom and dad constantly tried to get Jan into sports sections, which he, in turn, also managed to skip. He managed to lose weight only thanks to a strong desire to enter the theater school. This forced him to train hard. For Jan, this was the first victory in his life.

Creative path

After school, Jan, in 1965, entered the Shchukin Theater School and successfully graduated (in 1969). Then, from 1970 to 1973, the young man worked at the Central Children's Theater in Moscow, where he mainly played comedic characters. At the end of 1970, he began working at the Mossovet Theatre. He devoted 30 years of his life to this stage. And this was not the limit of his dreams. Despite the fact that most of his life was devoted to the theater, in the late 90s, Jan began working on the stage, as he was bored at the same place. At the age of 40, our hero became truly famous.

As a pop artist in 1978, Yan Arlazorov, whose biography had not been so bright until that moment, first showed himself at Rostislav Plyatt's anniversary. At the evening, our hero was the host and had a brilliant time.

Yan Arlazorov's debut (as a film actor) in 1971 was the film Chronicle of the Night. But the picture was not filmed in his usual comedy genre, but vice versa. This script contained explosions and gunfights in abundance. Perhaps this influenced the fact that Yang afterfilming this tape for eight years left the movie.

In 1979, at the sixth All-Union competition of variety artists, Arlazorov became a laureate. Yan's popularity was brought by the comedic role of the always dissatisfied cashier.

Arlazorov worked in "Full House" with such comedians as G. Vetrov, Yu. G altsev, E. Vorobey, S. Drobotenko and others.

In 1997 he received the title of Honored Artist of the Russian Federation. In 2004, Yang published a book of wisdom called "Yanki". In 2008 he was awarded the Order of Honor. He starred in such films as "Quote", "Carnival Night-2", "Merry Neighbors".

First Speech Artist

During his performances, Yan Arlazorov often involved the audience, whobecame automatically his co-authors, in his performances. At that time, he was the only actor who worked directly, not being afraid of the reaction of the viewer and any development of events. From the stage, he turned to a man with the words: “Hey, man …” Performances cost Arlazorov great strength and great tension. Only from the outside it seemed that the artist was working in a relaxed atmosphere. And it was worth it. The audience was delighted with his performances. Arlazorov seemed so dear and close to them, because anyone could talk to him at the concert and take part in his impromptu numbers. Basically, our hero wrote the text of his speeches himself, although sometimes he resorted to the help of professionals.

Arla Zorro Ambulance

In the late 90s, Yan Arlazorov was the host of the program on Avtoradio"People's Ambulance" He was called "Doctor Arla Zorro". Radio listeners from all over the country called our hero to talk about their trouble, in the hope of helping. One day Jan helped the father of a sick daughter who needed an operation in Germany. On the air, he announced the phone number of the parents of a sick child, and one of the listeners helped the unfortunate family with money. And this case is not isolated. At one time, Yang helped a sick boy who needed a blood transfusion. There was also a case when a disabled veteran of the Great Patriotic War needed help, from whom the wheels were stolen from a Cossack man given to him for the Victory Day. For him, Yang collected a large number of car wheels. An invalid who had no arms and legs and who was not visited by anyone in the hospital, he helped to make many friends who came to him after hearing the radio broadcast. And this is only a small part of the good deeds of Dr. Arl Zorro. But two years later, for unknown reasons, the program was closed.

Alone with myself

At concerts, Yan Arlazorov gave his all to the audience. And it seemed that in ordinary life he was just as funny. But in reality, Yang was withdrawn and vulnerable. The love that the artist gave to the viewer, he could not get himself. It must have been the tragedy of his life. For him, love was the most important gift, but an unsuccessful marriage did not allow him to fully get this feeling that he so dreamed of.

First and last marriage

Yan Arlazorova's wife studied, like him, at the Shchukin Theater School. The future wife's name was Yola Sanko. After graduation, they got married.

Yola's career was more successful than her husband's. She was invited to play in the cinema, in the theater. Jan was not entirely happy with this, as he wanted Yola to devote more time to him. The newlyweds often quarreled, did not want to give in to each other, constantly disappeared at work. This did not suit them, but the couple did not want to change anything in their lives. Even the birth of Alena's daughter did not save the family. Once, returning home from work, Jan did not find his wife and baby at home. After three years of marriage, Yola left Moscow without even telling Jan where, leaving her husband and leaving a successful career. She often had to play in various provincial theaters. All this time, Yang unsuccessfully searched for a wife and daughter. When, nevertheless, they were found, Jan tried to improve relations with his wife, but to no avail. This marriage was not destined to last long. His relationship with his daughter was also unstable. After the first unsuccessful marriage, Yang did not marry a second time. The ideal woman, he said, was his mother.

Yang's disease

In 2007, Arlazorov was diagnosed with a stomach tumor. Despite his illness and the pain that she gave him, Yang went on stage and demonstrated excellent he alth with all his appearance. In the same year, the artist celebrates his 60th birthday. All this further aggravated the state of he alth of our hero. But he was not up to himself. Arlazorov's mother was ill with cancer, from which she soon died. His father was also very ill. And Arlazorov put all his strength into their treatment. Later, the artist underwent surgery, butthe disease did not recede. He was asked to have a second operation in Moscow. Arlazorov refused and went to Germany for treatment. He was operated on again there, but everything was unsuccessful.

Before his death Arlazorov did not want to see anyone. His brother and father were on duty at his bedside. The daughter was not around, although Jan was waiting to meet her.

Death of Yan Arlazorov

No matter how great a person is, illness and death spare no one. Everyone has their own time. On March 7, 2009 Yan Arlazorov died. The funeral took place on the 11th at the Vostryakovskoye cemetery.

For everyone who wanted to say goodbye to Arlazorov, the doors of the State Variety Theater were open. A river of people stretched there in an endless string: friends, relatives and admirers. At the funeral of Arlazorov, the ex-wife was not there. Daughter Alena nevertheless came to say goodbye to her father.
