Vsevolod Abdulov was born into a good artistic family. His father was the once very popular actor Osip Naumovich Abdulov (1900-1953).

Mom Elizaveta Moiseevna Metelskaya also belonged to the artistic environment. The family gave a lot of time and creative energy to work on the radio.

Parents

Father, colleague and friend of such world-famous theater stars as Zavadsky, Plyatt, Maretskaya, Ranevskaya (all worked together at Yuri Zavadsky's studio school), since 1924 he worked on the radio as an actor, later became a director, famous in many popular productions. It was he who was the organizer of the artistic broadcasting for children on the radio.

Mom was the author of productions, including the famous "Green Van" with Vladimir Vysotsky as Handsome. Marina Vlady in her memoirs described this woman as a beautiful elderly lady who spoke classical French perfectly.

Father died a young man, but given the fact that Solomon Mikhoels was his close friend, "accidentally"hit by a car in 1948, it is surprising and pleasing that Osip Abdulov, known to the older generation for the role of John Silver from the first film adaptation of Treasure Island, lived until 1953. He starred in all the popular films of that time, such as The Pig and the Shepherd, Bright Path and many others.

Famous voice-over artist

Vsevolod Abdulov was an 11-year-old boy when his father died, who managed to pass on his love of acting to his son. There were three children in this wonderful family, but two sons died before the war. Born in 1942, Seva was a gift of fate, and they kept him like the apple of an eye. His mother raised him herself, not trusting the nannies, and his father's friends began to invite the beautiful boy to the emerging children's roles. In addition, Seva (as his relatives called him until old age) from the age of 11 began to earn extra money by dubbing.

In total, during his acting life, Vsevolod Abdulov voiced the heroes of foreign films - 139, animated films - 40, computer games - 6. The first film, in the dubbing of which little Seva took part, was the Hungarian film "Mug of Beer”, released on screens in 1955. The last film in which the voice of the actor sounded was “Meeting Place. 20 years later", (2001). Posthumously, in 2005, the film "How the idols left" was released. His voice was there too.

A friend for life

The first major role in the movie happened in 1960. The film was called "Wait for letters." A handsome, intelligent, deeply decent boy with a mole on his cheek was remembered by many. In the same year VsevolodAbdulov submits documents to several well-known theater universities in Moscow. He passes through the competition to the famous "Pike" and to GITIS, but not to the coveted Moscow Art Theater School. And then V. Vysotsky appears in his fate, who helped him get into the coveted institute. According to other sources, V. Abdulov had previously crossed paths with V. Vysotsky, who taught him the skills lessons necessary for admission.

Loy alty to friendship and deep integrity

One way or another, but the friendship that began between Vladimir Vysotsky and Vsevolod Abdulov, strong and real, bound them for life. It should be noted that Vsevolod Osipovich never exploited the topic of friendship with an idol - no memoirs, interviews or memoirs, which speaks of Vsevolod Osipovich's deep decency, his intelligence and good breeding. But after the death of V. Vysotsky, who just did not share his memories and did not enroll himself in his friends. But Abdulov was silent, because he really felt the pain of loss, which he could not and did not want to splash out on the public. And there was something to tell. Not only Marina Vlady and Vladimir Vysotsky lived in the Abdulovs' apartment for a long time, but the other famous Polyakov sisters also liked to come and chat with Seva's mother in French.

Theatrical career

Actor Vsevolod Abdulov starred in 40 films, but for some reason, his work with S. Govorukhin in the film “The meeting place cannot be changed” is most often indicated.

Indeed, the actor is very good in the role of Petunya Solovyov, but he is wonderful in other roles as well. In general, Abdulovoften filmed with S. Govorukhin. After graduating from the studio school, the actor served at the famous Taganka Theater, then at the Moscow Art Theater.

Participation in the legendary performance

Vsevolod Osipovich's parents are considered "the last of the Mohicans" of the Silver Age. The boy absorbed the talk about the culture and art of the guests of this hospitable house like a sponge. There were rumors about their famous and unique library. V. Abdulov himself, a well-read and erudite man, knew Russian literature very well and remarkably read the poems of Pasternak, Akhmatova and Tsvetaeva. That is why he so organically fit into the performance-legend "Solo for clocks with a fight." It was a gift made by artistic director Oleg Efremov to the great "old men" of the Art Theater - Mikhail Yanshin and Alexei Gribov, Olga Androvskaya, Mark Prudkin and Viktor Stanitsyn. It was a bombshell show. And Vsevolod Abdulov did not get lost against the background of great actors.

Car crash

After the collapse of the theater in 1987, Vsevolod Abdulov ended up in Doronina's troupe, but due to the difficult atmosphere, he could not work there and devoted himself entirely to radio. Yes, he was sick at the time. In 1977, a tragedy happened to Vsevolod Abdulov. The car, which was driven by the actor, turned over 6 times as a result of the explosion of the front wheel and fell into a ditch. It happened in autumn near Baku. For 21 days he was in a coma, and even when consciousness returned, the doctors considered him "unpromising." V. Abdulov was recovering for a long time, and only by the spring the actor began to recover. But the consequences of a terrible accident was a deterioration in memory, as a resultwhich later the actor refused the proposed roles, so as not to let his colleagues down.

Moscow Don Juan

Vsevolod Abdulov (photo attached) was a very interesting man, witty and charming. Women liked him, but, according to his friends, he was a terrible womanizer. He married in his first year at a university student. Bauman. In this marriage, his only child was born - daughter Julia. The marriage broke up after two years. Vsevolod Osipovich always fell in love passionately, suffered and suffered, then burned out. Women were of different ages and social status. In the last years of his life he was alone. But Julia's daughter was nearby.

Departure

The actor died from a rare disease - a heart attack of the gastric aorta. But they found out about it after the autopsy. Vsevolod Abdulov, whose biography ended in 2002, did not reach the ranks, like his closest friend, Vladimir Vysotsky. They were not even Honored Artists of the Republic.

A talented artist and an unsurpassed dubbing master was buried next to his father, People's Artist of the RSFSR and Stalin Prize laureate Osip Abdulov, at the Vvedenskoye cemetery. He is survived by a daughter, granddaughter and great-grandson. The race continues.
