The famous actor Vyacheslav Tikhonov was born on February 8, 1928 in Pavlovsky Posad. Parents wanted the boy to become a turner or an agronomist. But a thirteen-year-old teenager, entering a local school, dreamed of an acting career. During the youth of the Soviet Stirlitz, tattoos with the names of lovers were popular. Then the future actor did not have a girlfriend, so he stuffed his own name on his hand - Slava. Perhaps this became a prophecy, because the artist gained nationwide popularity. But he managed to find personal happiness only in his second marriage with a French teacher Tamara Tikhonova (and even then his wife tormented him with jealousy).

Early biography of the Soviet artist

Vyacheslav Tikhonov was born in 1928 in the Moscow region. His father worked as a mechanic at a local weaving factory, and his mother worked as a kindergarten teacher. Tikhonov spent his childhood among the children of ordinary workers. He was absolutely no different from other yard boys whomost of their free time was spent outdoors. After the outbreak of war in 1941, Vyacheslav, then still a schoolboy, went to study at the school. His school housed a military hospital. Teaching a profession was not difficult for Vyacheslav. He was inquisitive, from childhood he loved to do something around the house or make things. Like many teenagers of that time, after graduation he got a job as a metal turner at a military factory. He worked instead of the men who went to the front.

After the shifts, Vyacheslav Tikhonov, along with other teenagers, ran to the Vulkan cinema to see heroic films. His favorite movie heroes were Alexander Nevsky performed by N. Cherkasov, Chapaev performed by B. Babochkin, as well as everyone's favorites Pyotr Aleinikov and Mikhail Zharov. Tikhonov later recalled that it was these people who eventually led him to art. Then he began to dream of such a job, but his father saw his son exclusively as a mechanic, and his mother wanted him to enter the Agricultural Academy. At the insistence of the elders, Vyacheslav entered the Automotive Institute, but closer to the victorious 1945 he decided to try his hand at the entrance exams at VGIK.

The beginning of an acting career

At first he was not accepted, but then, by the will of fate, he nevertheless became a student at VGIK. Boris Bibikov enrolled Vyacheslav Tikhonov in his course. The parents were immensely outraged by the act of the obedient Slava, but the grandmother stood up for her grandson. She did not allow Tikhonov to say goodbye to her dream just like that. SoVyacheslav Tikhonov became a student at VGIK and ended up in the workshop of teachers Olga Pyzhova and Boris Bibikov. The acting debut of a young man took place already during his studies. The first work of Tikhonov was the role of Osmukhin in the film "Young Guard". The work was atypical for Soviet cinema: the directors thoroughly recreated the artistic environment, there was a long period of preparation before filming the picture, the actors got used to the images of the characters, and a thorough development of the characters was carried out. The film could be considered a successful debut for a whole generation of domestic actors.

Vyacheslav Tikhonov's first love

The young man, whom censorship did not let on the screens for "some kind of non-Soviet" and "noble" appearance, met his first love at a dance. In the tenth grade, he invited a familiar girl, Yulia Rossiyskaya, to a slow dance. A romantic relationship began, but the young people did not have time to legitimize them, because Tikhonov left for the capital to study. Journalists often mentioned that he came to Yulia even during marriage, but later these meetings stopped. Fifty years later, when Vyacheslav Vasilyevich already had two marriages behind him, he again found his first love. According to some reports, furtively from Tamara Tikhonova, he talked with Yulia on the phone when he lived in the country. They did not have time to meet in person.

Hurry marriage with Nonna Mordyukova

On the set of "Young Guard" fate brought the young man together with Nonna Mordyukova. Vyacheslav was nineteen years old, and Nonna was twenty-two. At first, the young man paid no attention toa stately beauty, so that it cost her considerable effort to turn his head. They quickly got married. First they lived in the hostel of VGIK, then they moved to a nine-meter room, in which Tikhonov especially did not like the floors. Both actors received Stalin Prizes for The Young Guard, and young Vyacheslav was outraged that the state was trying to leave the award-winning artists without good living space. The fighting girlfriend got busy, so soon the young spouses were given a little more living space.

Suspicious rumors

There were rumors that young people got married not from great love. A close friend of Tikhonov and People's Artist I. Yoshka recalled that Mordyukova as a student had an affair with S. Gerasimov, who was the head of her course and filmed The Young Guard. The director asked Vyacheslav Tikhonov to marry a fellow student in order to avert suspicion from himself (a jealous wife suspected Gerasimov of infidelity). Vyacheslav could not refuse his teacher and eminent director. Even then it was clear that the calm Tikhonov and the expressive Nonna were unlikely to get along in marriage.

Discord in relationships

Vyacheslav Tikhonov really liked the directors, but the censorship considered his appearance too "noble" for Soviet cinema. Therefore, Nonna earned money in the family. Many men tried to take care of a young and beautiful girl, she never encountered a lack of attention. She talked with one of the fans in the room when Tikhonov returned home. The couple did not explain. Nonna did not consider herself guilty, sodid not make excuses. Tikhonov was sure that he had found his wife with her lover. He did not ask questions, but simply left, hastily packing his suitcase.

Fifty years Vyacheslav Tikhonov and Nonna Mordyukova did not communicate. At the bedside of their dying son (Vladimir Tikhonov died at the age of forty due to a passion for drugs), they did not say a single word to each other. When journalists were filming a biopic about her, they asked the actress if she wanted to call Tikhonov. The woman said that she would have contacted a long time ago, but there is no phone. The number was found immediately. They called each other and forgave each other. In the same year, Nonna Mordyukova passed away.

Introducing Tamara Ivanovna

Forty-year-old Tikhonov in 1967 finally met a woman who understood and accepted him completely. French teacher Tamara Tikhonova worked with the Soviet actor on the set. She helped the film crew with translation. Tamara and Vyacheslav worked on the film "Man and Woman". The partner was the complete opposite of Mordyukova. Twenty-five-year-old Tamara was quiet and silent. The girl was married, but divorced her husband to marry Tikhonov. He greatly valued the institution of marriage. But the passion was so strong that he took the woman away from the family.

Tamara's life before meeting Vyacheslav

Little is known of the facts from the biography of Tamara Tikhonova before her meeting with the Soviet artist. It is known that the girl learned to be a French teacher and taught at the Institute of International Relations. She wasmarried, had no children in her first marriage. Beloved woman Vyacheslav Tikhonov and his wife became after working together on the film. By the way, the daughter of the Tikhonovs, Anna, said that at the time of their acquaintance, her mother was not married, she had a French fiancé, but she was in no hurry to tie the knot. Everything went to the wedding, but Tamara's relatives were against it, because at that time it was not welcomed in the USSR.

Happy unhappy marriage

Inconspicuous Tamara Tikhonova, wife of Vyacheslav Tikhonov, managed to keep her husband under total control. A handsome man in ordinary life was a completely helpless and too soft person. Vyacheslav Tikhonov had to report to his wife about each scene with a hint of a love relationship, to coordinate his roles. It soon became clear that Tamara was simply obsessed with jealousy. Perhaps it was precisely because of the tense relationship with his wife that Vyacheslav practically stopped acting after the film "A Man and a Woman" and several other works. He could not stand the constant tantrums, packed his bags and moved to a country house in Nikolina Gora.

Tamara did not calm down, she tormented her husband so much that until the end of their lives they actually divided the house in half. Vyacheslav himself was in one half, and Tamara was in the other. Vyacheslav Tikhonov stopped wearing the ring, and Tamara Ivanovna did not forget to mention that her husband ruined her life. There were rumors that even with the son from his first marriage, the actor had to meet secretly in the garage. He did not appear at the funeral of his first wife. However, Tikhonov's daughter Anna, together with Tamara, responded verywarmth about the atmosphere that prevailed at home. She calls the actor a loving father and a happy family man, says that the father and mother were in love and inseparable with each other until old age. At the same time, it is known that Tamara Ivanovna (in order to somehow calm her nerves) became addicted to alcohol when her daughter grew up, and even tried to commit suicide several times.

The last years of Vyacheslav Tikhonovoa

The actor's personal life developed in his second marriage, although his wife tormented him with baseless jealousy and threw tantrums. However, they also had a happy period. For example, when their joint daughter Anna was just born, Tikhonov simply glowed with happiness and tried to spend every free minute with the girl. Vyacheslav Ivanovich was also very fond of his grandchildren - the twins Vyacheslav and Georgy, whom Anna often brought to visit her parents. In those years, it became necessary to monitor the mother, who drank alcohol, but Tikhonov was glad that his grandchildren often visited him.

Since 2000, the actor has led a secluded life. He had no friends left: his beloved director S. Rostotsky, close colleagues Yu. Nikulin and N. Kryuchkov had already departed to another world. Then the daughter of Vyacheslav Tikhonov, actress Anna Tikhonova, organized a film studio, where her husband began to shoot films with the participation of the Soviet Stirlitz. She managed all the affairs of her father, and for his anniversary she organized an interview for a fee of fifteen thousand dollars. Vyacheslav Tikhonov did not receive this money. Sponsors of the evening at the Cinema House presented the actor with a car in which he had nevertraveled. But Anna Tikhonova built a business for herself on behalf of her famous father.

Death of a Soviet artist

At the same time, the Soviet actor began to get sick. In 2002, he suffered a heart attack, in 2007 he was hospitalized after an injury with complaints of heart pain, in the spring of the following year he underwent surgery, and in the fall of 2009 he was admitted to the Central Clinical Hospital. Another operation on the vessels followed a week after hospitalization. Vyacheslav Tikhonov endured the surgical intervention very hard, but the doctors still hoped that the actor would recover. Alas, he died the next day. The last hours of his life, the Soviet Stirlitz was in intensive care, was connected to a ventilator and hemodialysis. The attending physician Vyacheslav Tikhonov said that loneliness, which was difficult for the artist, and the lack of good care for the sick by relatives played a role in this death.

Difficult family relationships

After the death of Vyacheslav Vasilyevich, addiction to alcohol almost killed Tikhonov's widow, Tamara Ivanovna. Anna had to take her mother to the hospital so that qualified doctors could monitor her condition around the clock. Even when Tamara Tikhonova coped with alcoholism, it turned out that everything in the family was not as smooth as it could be. Tamara Ivanovna did not get along with her son-in-law, she complained that her daughter was trying to deprive her of her apartment and dacha. At one time, the widow even said that her daughter's husband beat her, drinks, and does not want to work. Anna Tikhonova declined to comment on these accusations.

What the relationship in this family actually was is unknown. Anna respondedabout her parents with love, she said that they also communicated well with her husband. At the same time, Tamara Ivanovna herself mentioned that Vyacheslav Tikhonov did not love his son-in-law, and they had no harmony in the family.
