She is remembered by film fans of the Soviet era, although she starred in only a few films. The filmography of the actress is not rich. Apparently, it was fate that way: Galina, not having time to enjoy fame, fell into disfavor in her homeland and was forced to give up her career as a film and theater actress for 22 years. But after many years, the audience saw her again on the screens. It was a different Galya, but no less talented and beautiful. It seemed that there was no such a huge break in the career of an actress.
Films starring Galina Loginova
The debut work in 1971 brought success. They fell in love with Galina Loginova immediately after working in the film "Shadows Disappear at Noon." Initially, they wanted to take her on the role of a 10th grade student, but after the test, the director gave her the image of Olga Voronova, the adult daughter of Anisim da Marya. The game of the girl was natural and natural. Talent cannot be hidden…
In 1973, Loginova was given the lead role in the film Much Ado About Nothing. Scenariowas based on a play by Shakespeare. Galya appeared before the audience in the image of the beautiful Beatrice. After the release of the film adaptation, she was met with success.
At the same time, the girl is filming in the film "Comrade and the Brigade".
A year later, she was involved in two films where she got the main female roles: in the "Blue Patrol" (Tanya) and in the romantic film "Who, if not you …".
In the film "A Tale Like a Tale" Loginova was destined to play an evil fairy. The picture was taken in 1978. A year later, the audience had the opportunity to watch another picture with the participation of the actress - the film "Punch Man" (Svetlana).
In 1980, Galina was invited to try herself in a new genre. In Fairfax's Millions, she played Molly. This film, after Loginova moved to Europe, was banned in the USSR for viewing, and the audience saw it after Perestroika.
Having moved to Europe, the actress almost never acts, she no longer works in her profession. She flashed only in episodes of the films Scarecrow and Mrs. King (1983) and Superboy (1988). In the latter, she played a Russian officer - a minor and almost imperceptible role.
22 years - the period that she had to go through before getting the main role of the first plan again. Galina was invited to work in Prisoner of Time (1993), where she got the image of Rosa.
In The Hypnotist (2002), her heroine (mother) is one of the main ones. In 2006, she again gets the role of the first plan - Galina miraculously got used to the image of Alevtina Terpishcheva in The Irrevocable Man.
In 2010, the film "Freaks" was released, where Loginova plays the role of motherNadi.
In 2014, she starred in Silent Life, where she portrays the main character Alla Nazimova.
That's all, for today, the list of films in which Galina Loginova was involved. Her filmography is modest. Why did the promising young actress, whom everyone predicted fame and success, play so few roles? To answer this question, it is necessary to trace how the life of Galina Loginova developed. And therefore we pass from filmography to biography. So…
Childhood and adolescence
Galina Loginova was born in autumn (October 28) 1950 in the Ukrainian city of Dnepropetrovsk. My father was an officer, my mother took care of the family. Being the daughter of a military man, Galya saw almost the entire Union. The family constantly moved from place to place, from one garrison to another. The girl had almost no friends due to the frequent change of school. But she studied hard. She did not dream of an acting career, but made more realistic plans, in her opinion. However, as often happens, chance decided everything.
A graduate of one of the Dnepropetrovsk schools once, walking in the rain, passed by a cinema, in which at that very moment everyone who wanted to enter VGIK was auditioned for a course with Vladimir Belokurov. In Soviet times, students from different republics were recruited to universities - this was a mandatory condition. 12 students from Ukraine were supposed to study at the Belokurov course, who, after receiving their education, automatically became actors of the film studio named after. Dovzhenko in Kyiv.
Galya, having learned about the audition, without any preparationI decided to test my strength and went to the cinema. The audition ended for her with enrollment in the ranks of VGIK students.
Among the students, she was immediately noticeable. She was surrounded by fashionably dressed children of the Moscow rich, celebrities and diplomats. The girl, not paying attention to anyone, studied, coming every day in the same dress. And even the beautiful daughter of an Iranian sheikh, who changes clothes several times a day, in no way aroused feelings of envy or annoyance in Gali.
Student years and first roles
Meanwhile, Galina Loginova studied without any achievements. Her biography at that time was not marked by anything remarkable, most likely, and Gali's life would have developed somehow normally, if not for the refined beauty and unobtrusive attractiveness. It was thanks to her appearance that she received, while still a student, an invitation to star in the legendary film Shadows Disappear at Noon. The role was a minor one, but quite suitable for a debut.
The work was very hard, the film was filmed for a long time and was released after 3 years. And then they learned about Loginova and started talking. True, the actress was not in the spotlight for long.
As a student, she also starred in a musical adaptation of Shakespeare's play, where she shone in the image of the main character Beatrice. In order to adequately perform in the scene at the ball, the girl danced and trained with the corps de ballet at the Bolshoi Theater before shooting.
The audience saw the film already in 1973, when a photo of actress Galina Loginova adorned the walls of the film studiothem. Dovzhenko in Kyiv. No one has yet considered her a star of Russian cinema, but she became famous immediately after the release of the picture.
Literally immediately she receives an offer from V. Monetov to play in his production, which was called "The Blue Patrol". I must say that this was one of the last invitations to the main roles. Out of envy or for some other reason, the directors began to ignore her. Soon she ceased to appear on the screens, and in public too, Galina Loginova. Photos of her gradually disappeared from the press. At the meetings, it was said that the young actress was behaving antisocially. By that time, the KGB was interested in her person.
The actress fell in love with a Serb
Attention from the legal structures seriously spoiled her career. The interest of the "safeguards" was connected with the Serbian doctor Boggi Jovovich, with whom Galina Loginova fell in love. Films and participation in filming for the girl receded into the background. From the KGB, she constantly received threats, they tried to morally suppress and break her. But Galya, despite this, nevertheless decided to marry Bogdan. Since then, the main roles were no longer given to her.
Inspired by a happy relationship, the woman dreamed of having a baby. And in 1975, she becomes the mother of a charming daughter, who was named Milica. The young woman couldn't be happier with her happiness. But the husband saw Milla already at the age of 7 months. His permission to stay in the USSR ended, but there was no way back to his homeland in Yugoslavia either. Bogdan's fatheralong with all family members was declared a state criminal. Boggy left for Europe, and Loginova spent more than six months trying to get an exit permit and a visa.
Because of her marriage to a foreigner, the actress was not offered serious roles. True, 5 years after the birth of Milla, fame returned to her, but not for long. She was invited to star in a detective film along with B altic movie stars.
Final move to a foreign land
Boggy Jovovich lived and worked in London, opening his private clinic. Galya came to him at the first opportunity. Loginova made the decision to leave the Union forever with lightning speed. Arriving to her husband, she met Yugoslav officers near their house. Fear filled the woman's soul. She was afraid for her husband, and for her daughter, and for herself. The actress was not going to return to her homeland. But at the embassy, the Jovovich couple stamped their documents allowing them all to live together in England.
As soon as Galina Loginova left the borders of the USSR, films with her participation were immediately banned. They simply ceased to be shown to the Soviet audience. And the ban was in effect until Perestroika itself.
After living in London for about 7 years, the Jovovich family moves to the States. It is very difficult for them to live here. Bogdan was a successful and good doctor in London, but he cannot get a job in America. Now they are emigrants from Russia, and not the elite of society. At first, both had to work as domestic workers for an American director.
Attempts of the actress to conquer America
Having moved to the States, Galina Loginova is trying to find a job in her profession. She goes to audition, but to no avail. No one invites a woman with such an accent to play roles. Several times she managed to light up in commercials. In general, Loginova-Jovovich had to forget about the career of an actress. But the woman was not going to refuse to conquer America. Somewhere in the depths of her soul, she knew that the name Jovovich would proudly show off on posters, illuminated by neon lights. How close she was then in her dreams to the future reality! In the meantime, Galina worked as a maid, then as a costume designer and tried to earn money to pay for a decent education for her daughter Milica.
Raising a daughter
Galina Loginova is a failed actress. She is one of the people whose talent was irretrievably buried during the Soviet era. But she passed it on with the genes to her daughter. Galina developed little Milla comprehensively. The girl visited a choreographer and a music teacher, studied in an acting circle and in a modeling agency at the same time. Mother sought to reveal as many talents as possible in Milica so that she could conquer inhospitable America in the future.
Arrest of Bogdan and divorce
Galina Loginova is a very strong woman. Many trials fell on her fragile shoulders. But the most unexpected and difficult was the arrest of her husband in the early 90s. He was accused of financial fraud and sentenced to 7 years in prison.
The woman herself raised her daughter, paid all the bills and kept house. By whomonly Galya did not work in order to feed herself and continue to pay for Milla's studies. Courier, taxi driver, nurse, postman - this is an incomplete list of professions that the former actress had to master. But she endured and persevered.
When the husband returned home from prison, the relationship was strained at first, and after a while it went completely wrong. The Jovovich couple filed for divorce.
True, by this time Milla had already been recognized and recognized by America - the girl became famous as a fashion model and movie actress.
Finally, we note that the dream of Galina Loginova to become a famous actress has come true. She returned to cinema with the beginning of the XXI century. She was invited to appear in several Russian films. American directors also sent their scripts and waited for the actress to accept offers. So, after 22 years of oblivion, her star shone with renewed vigor, and even brighter than the one that was tried to be extinguished in the distant past.
