Tragic stories of Svetlana Kharitonova, Tamara Nosova and Rufina Nifontova. Actresses whose beauty was admired by the whole country. They died a terrible death.
Svetlana Kharitonova (1932-2012)
She was a real star of Soviet cinema, although she almost never played the main roles, however, the images she created proved the strength and versatility of her talent. Dreamy, naive Klava from the movie "Girl without an Address", old woman Fyokla in "White Nights", Lisa in "Unyielding" …
Her creative career has developed outside the box. Despite the immense popularity and demand, Kharitonova left the theater. She graduated from the directing department of VGIK and began working as a director of documentaries. The film she shot - "Swimming Teaching Infants" received the Grand Prix of the All-Union Festival of Sports Documentary Films. At the same time, Kharitonova continued to actively act in films as an actress.
While studying directing courses, the actress met Sergei Balatiev, from whom she gave birth to a daughter at the age of 35. Doctors discovered that the child had serious mental abnormalities. Balatiev filed for divorce after learning about the incurable illness of his child, and Kharitonova was left completely alone.
The successful career of Svetlana Kharitonova was cut short by a tragic incident. She became the culprit of an accident that resulted in the death of a person. Once after the end of the shooting day, the actress was driving the film crew in her car and knocked down a woman to death. Colleagues advised the actress to hide from the scene of the accident, but she was soon detained by the traffic police. Kharitonova was given a suspended sentence and sent to the Vladimir region. For three years she worked at a factory that was engaged in the production of reinforced concrete. The actress, even in prison, continued to engage in creative activities - she organized amateur performances.
Reputable directors helped Kharitonova to return to Moscow: Nikita Mikhalkov, Vladimir Basov, Leonid Gaidai, who began to invite her to their new films for small roles.
Her daughter's illness progressed, and at the age of 50, Kharitonova was forced to retire to provide full care for her sick child. In the last years of her life, the actress led a reclusive lifestyle with her daughter. In addition, the 44-year-old mentally ill daughter of the actress categorically forbade her elderly mother to communicate with neighbors and accept help. It is known that women lived in extreme poverty. The last months of her life, Svetlana Kharitonova was very sick. She fell and broke the neck of her hip, however, she did not go to the hospital, the doctor came to her house.
The actress died on January 8, 2012, but the fact of her death became known only on the 11th. The daughter of the actress did not call an ambulance at the moment when Svetlana Nikolaevna became ill.
Tamara Nosova (1927-2007)
She was one of the most famous comic actresses of Soviet cinema of the 50-60s. Tamara Nosova got married three times, but she had no children. Family life did not work out, and after the death of her mother in 1982, Tamara Nosova began to lead a secluded life.
The strangeness in the behavior of the actress around began to notice for a long time, but few people guessed that the once famous beauty was gradually losing her mind. Only after her death did the doctors manage to diagnose her with a terrible diagnosis - "chronic cerebral ischemia." This disease is accompanied by profound depressive disorders, memory loss and increased irritability.
The last years of her life, the actress lived in dire poverty. Her pension was barely enough to pay her utility bills. Tamara Makarovna was forced to eat in a charity canteen for the homeless and the poor.
She did not let anyone into her apartment, she suddenly began to fear that she would be robbed. Her pride did not allow her to ask someone for help. A wooden board served as a bed for Nosova. The floors in the apartment were completely rotten, cockroaches and rats crawled into the kitchen through the ventilation.
Before the New Year, Tamara Nosova's nephew came to her, after the actress's neighbor called him and said that for several days she had not seen Tamara Makarovna, and there was complete silence outside the door of her apartment.
When they broke down the apartment door, they saw Nosova lying in the middle of the corridor. She had rat bite wounds on her legs, however, the actress was still alive. She was taken to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with a stroke, which happened two days ago. It turns out that for two days she lay alone, helpless in the corridor. A few days later, Tamara Nosova passed away.
Rufina Nifontova (1931-1994)
Ever since childhood, Rufina Pitade stood out for her boyish character. She was repeatedly expelled from school, she even had repeated visits to the police.
She was distinguished by her extraordinary natural beauty. Rufina failed her entrance exams at the VKIK and cried inconsolably in the hallway. One of the teachers of the institute approached her and took pity on the applicant.
During her studies at VGIK, strange rumors circulated about her: allegedly she is a fan of same-sex love, however, a close friend of the actress refutes these speculations.
In her sophomore year, Rufina Pitade married director Gleb Nifontov. He became her only husband. The relationship in their life together was based on the boundless understanding of the spouse. Rufina was a very amorous and addicted woman. There were many rumors about her endless passionate romances.
After graduating from VGIK, Nifontova was accepted into the troupe of the Maly Theater, but was unable to build her relationship with the leadership. She could tell the director in the eyes everything that she thinks about him, expressing her indignation with obscene words. Naturally, the actress soon began to be content with only minor roles in the theater.
The daughter of Rufina Nifontova, Olga, also graduated from VGIK and became a director. Rufina Dmitrievna's relationship with her daughter soured after her marriage. The actress's son-in-law often drank and treated Olga very rudely. However, after the birth of their grandson, the Nifontovs were forced to adopt a son-in-law into the family.
The misfortunes in the life of the actress began with the fact that her beloved niece (daughter of her twin brother) was brutally murdered. After a very short time, Slava himself, the brother of Rufina Dmitrievna, died. In the bathroom, he felt bad with his heart and only two days later he was missed. Seeing the terrifying picture, Rufina Nifontova then said for some reason: "I will also die in the bathroom …" It is worth noting that since childhood, a truly mystical connection existed between the actress and her twin brother. They seemed to sense each other at a distance.
Rufina Dmitrievna was very upset by the death of her brother. She began to drink in order to somehow drown out the terrible mental pain, but the troubles in her life continued. After a while, the actress's husband died tragically. He was returning from his daughter, where he once again had a big fight with his son-in-law. On the way, he felt bad with his heart, and he taxied into the oncoming lane, where he fell under the wheels of MAZ.
A few days after her husband's funeral, Rufina Dmitrievna fell and hit her temple hard. They called an ambulance, but the actress said resignedly that she would die very soon anyway. She really had a presentiment of impending death. And she was not mistaken. She died in November 1994. Rufina Dmitrievna returned from the dacha and was very cold. The actress turned on hot water in the bathroom, boiling water began to pour from the tap. Suddenly she felt weak and decided to lie down on the bed for a while, but she lost consciousness.
A few hours later, boiling water flooded the bedroom and hallway. The water began to rise. It is not known whether the actress then regained consciousness or not, but it turned out that she literally boiled in boiling water.
The water continued to pour for more than a day, until boiling water began to drip from the ceiling of the neighbors. When the door was broken open, hot water poured into the stairwell.
