Popular people always cause rumors, including not very pleasant ones. But rarely does any of them dare to honestly admit the bad habits and mistakes of youth. Larisa Guzeeva was able to take this step, and by the time she reaches adulthood, she does not hide from fans a single fact of her difficult biography.
Ural character
The future film and television star was born in 1959 in a small village near Orenburg. Her parents quickly separated, and the girl was raised by her mother and stepfather. The house was dominated by strict morals: the mother worked as a teacher, and the adoptive father had the character of a tyrant. Growing up, Larisa began to defend the right to live the way she herself wants: to walk late, paint brightly and even smoke. True, already an adult, she gratefully recalled her parents' iron grip, because only they protected the girl from the very free rural customs. The local guys considered the slender, big-eyed young lady unsympathetic, in contrast to the rich peers. But her mother did not get tired of repeating to her daughter how beautiful she was, and Larisa grew up with the confidence that she deserves to become an artist, a real favorite of the viewer. Therefore, as soon as she received a certificate, she flew away from her father's house to a big city and easily entered the Leningrad Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography. She impressed the strict commission by shaving her lush hair baldly.
She carried her dissimilarity to the rest through all her student years. Of course, because of this, many disliked the bold and ambitious girl. Fashionable clothes, grown-ups and successful bohemian friends … Classmates were so worried about the success of the Orenburg girl that they got her expelled from the group of people who went on an exchange to Bulgaria. In response, Guzeeva shrugged her shoulders and went to another screen test. Who would have thought that it was they who would bring all-Union popularity to an aspiring actress?
Making a dream come true
Before that fateful day, Larisa managed to star in an advertisement and an episode of the film "The meeting place cannot be changed." She came to see Eldar Ryazanov not in the guise of a provincial shy girl, like most of the applicants, but in the outfit of a real hippie, a frequenter of the legendary "Saigon".
According to rumors, even Viktor Tsoi was courting an informal student.
Despite the baubles and torn jeans, the director immediately saw Larisa Ogudalova in the girl. When fellow students arrived from Bulgaria, Guzeeva greeted them with news about the shooting in the lead role and cooperation with the real masters of Soviet cinema. "Cruel Romance" became her trademark, her first and highest rise. After the deafeningly successful screening of the film, Larisa realized that she did not want to go to the Orenburg Regional Drama Theater for assignment and saw her future only in the cinema.
In recent years, Larisa Guzeeva has become a popular TV presenter and even won the TEFI award in the Best Talk Show Host nomination. In addition, she regularly appears in films, plays in entreprise and runs a restaurant business.
In 1986, she began work at the Lenfilm film studio and has since appeared in more than sixty films.
Family question
The personal life of the actress was much more complicated. She first got married in 1985. The young woman did not immediately understand that her husband was heavily dependent on drugs, and for eight years she tried to save him from the harmful effects of poisonous substances. But she could not do anything. Dreams of a full-fledged family and children were shattered by the death of her husband from an overdose. After that, Larisa Guzeeva began to feel depressed. The condition was aggravated by people who came to sympathize with the widow and brought with them a drink for the peace of his soul. Fortunately, the actress came to her senses in time and stopped. In the fight against alcoholism, she won on her own, without saying anything to doctors and relatives.
The former "dowry woman" met her second husband on the set of a Georgian film. Kakha Tolordava gave her confidence in the future and support, they got married and gave birth to a son, George. Larisa was then 32 years old. True, too different cultural traditions of the spouses prevented them from staying together, and soon they parted. Soon Guzeeva received a marriage proposal from her old friend Igor Bukharov, whom she had known for about two decades. In this mature union, the forty-year-old actress gave birth to her daughter Lelya.
