Acting dynasties take shape over a long period. At the same time, the continuity of generations can be interrupted for the most banal reason. Mikhail Lyubeznov was a promising actor, but he passed away too early.
Starting conditions
Wealth in tangible and intangible form accumulates over a long period of time. Fathers are trying to "put together capital" and pass it on to their heirs. In turn, representatives of the next generation do not always rationally manage the money and opportunities received. Mikhail Ivanovich Lyubeznov was born on November 3, 1947 in the family of a famous actor. Parents at that time lived in Moscow. Father Ivan Alexandrovich Lyubeznov - People's Artist of the USSR served in the theater and acted in films. Mother was engaged in housekeeping.
The child grew and developed surrounded by love and care. Relatives and acquaintances had no doubts that Mikhail would follow in the footsteps of his father. The boy showed creativity from an early age. He learned the letters early and independently began to read all the books that were in the house. The head of the family often took his son with him to work in the theater. Lyubeznov Jr. knew well how the actors live behind the scenes. Misha studied well at school. His favorite subjects were history and literature. In high school, the young man attended classes in a theater studio and a literary circle.
Professional activity
After school, Mikhail made a firm decision to get a specialized education at VGIK. For unknown reasons, he did not pass the entrance exams. I had to serve two years in the army. The mother was categorically against her son's acting career. And she firmly insisted that he take up an administrative activity. Through the efforts of relatives, using all possible and impossible connections, Lyubeznov was arranged for a decent position in the Ministry of Culture. However, Mikhail, despite his gentle nature, tried to insist on his own.
Lyubeznov got his first role in the film "Cross the Threshold". By this time, Mikhail was already 23 years old. Critics noted that the successfully performed role did not bring an avalanche of new proposals. The next picture with his participation, "A Man in His Place", was released two years later. During his short life, Mikhail managed to appear in only five films. The film “Hello, I’m your aunt!” Has received the greatest fame. In this project, the young performer harmoniously blended into the team of already famous actors.
Creativity and personal life

The actor's personal life was unsuccessful. He was married twice. In the first marriage, the husband and wife separated a year after the birth of their daughter Catherine. The second time, Mikhail tried with all his might to protect his family hearth. The son Vanya appeared in the house.
