Piret Mängel is an Estonian actress who played an Indian priestess in the film Hearts of Three. A girl with an alien appearance and piercing eyes inspired fear not only on the screen, but also in life.
The domestic audience knows the Estonian actress Piret Mängel from the adventure film “Hearts of Three”. She also starred in the film "The Man from Boulevard des Capucines" in a cameo role.
Biography
Last year, Piret celebrated her 50th birthday. And the future actress was born in Tallinn in January 1969. After school, the girl went to the theater institute to receive a specialized education and become an actress. When she was 18 years old, the film debut of the young beauty in the film "The Man from Boulevard des Capucines" took place. Here Mängel has a cameo role. She plays a cabaret dancer dancing in a bar.
Career
But Piret's fame was brought by the film "Hearts of Three". Here she reincarnated as Akatava, an Indian priestess. The performer of this role was supposed to have an unusual, mesmerizing appearance. For a long time we could not find a suitable actress. And in the days of the USSR, when a person with a "foreign" appearance was required, a Baltic actor was invited. So it happened with Ppiret. The actress spoke Russian poorly, so she was then voiced by Anna Kamenkova.
As Vladimir Shevelkov, who starred with the Baltic beauty, recalled, she played her role so convincingly that in one scene he was frightened, thinking that Piret, who had entered the image, could stab him with a dagger.
Creation
It so happened that the domestic audience basically remembered the girl from this film - "Hearts of Three". Here she played with famous stars of the USSR. As eyewitnesses recall, Myangel kept aloof from the entire film crew, did not communicate with almost anyone and did not even start friendly relations. Perhaps this was due to the fact that Piret did not know Russian well, or her proud Baltic character, or the girl behaved slightly arrogantly.
On the set of this motion picture, one of the actors asked the Estonian actress if Josef Mengel was her relative? This German doctor was a Nazi criminal who mocked the prisoners of the Auschwitz concentration camp, conducting inhuman experiments on them.
It seemed to the actor that the surname Myangel was similar in consonance. But the girl was not offended by such a question, and even joked that he was her great-uncle.
Soviet actors have repeatedly created comical situations on the set of the film. Then the Estonian diva was angry and said that they were "nasty Russian boys."
Alyona Khmelnitskaya, who played one of the main roles, later recalled that the Estonian actress seemed a little strange to her. This character of the Estonian girl was noted not only by Alena, but also by some other actors.
Personal life
After filming in the movie "Hearts of Three" little has been heard about the Baltic actress. It is known about her successful marriage. At one time, Piret married a millionaire, but then divorced him and tried to start a family a second time. Then she became the wife of an Italian, moved to his hometown. An Estonian woman owns a multimillion-dollar fortune, she also works in the civil service.
This is how the famous film conquered the hearts of the rich of this world, who offered their hand and heart to an Estonian girl with unearthly beauty.
