Bradun could not boast of the main roles and was jealous of his wife's success. More and more people said about him: "Izvitskaya's husband." He began to drink, a few years later his wife became addicted to this addiction. In this behavior of the actor, there was a desire to lower his wife below him. This marriage did not bring joy or make them happy. The childless family union turned out to be a fatal mistake, ruining their life and career.
By the beginning of the 70s, the couple finally drank themselves. Isolde began to have problems with coordination of movements and a clouding of her mind. In this state, Edward left his wife and went to her friend. The unhappy woman died a month after the betrayal, she spent the last weeks all alone in her own apartment.
