Now the actress Lyudmila Krylova does not often appear on TV screens. By her own admission, she does not receive worthy offers for filming in good projects, and she categorically does not want to act in obviously bad films, preferring to share her acting talent with the audience of the Sovremennik Theater.
She devotes all her free time to her children and grandchildren. She does not like talk shows that have become so popular lately, on which many famous people flaunt their personal lives. The natural modesty of character does not allow L. Krylova to put the subtleties of her personal life on public display just to amuse the public.
Childhood and youth
Lyudmila Krylova was born in 1938 in one of the small towns near Moscow. Her childhood could have been considered happy if she had not lost her mother at the age of nine. When she was gone, Lyudmila withdrew into herself, preferring loneliness to the company of friends. The girl was saved by books, reading which she filled her whole life.
It took Lyudmila several years to recover from her mother's death. She began to think about what she would like to do in life. The first serious thoughts about an acting career came to her when one of the graduates of the school was able to enter a theater school. And then Lyudmila also decided to try her hand at acting. Moreover, for several years she was engaged in a school theater circle. L. Krylova, after graduation, successfully passes exams at the theater school named after M. S. Shchepkin.
Fateful meeting
The first meeting with Oleg Tabakov happened when she was sitting in the auditorium, and he was playing on the stage of the Sovremennik Theater. His game impressed the girl so much that Tabakov suddenly became an idol for her, with whom young Lyudmila fell in love without looking back. It was then that the desire to prove to the whole world that she was a good actress appeared.
Lyudmila Krylova, whose biography could have turned out differently if this meeting had not happened, for some reason was sure that their lives would definitely unite. She had a dream to meet on the set with the same Tabakov, who, without knowing it, at the very first meeting determined the life path of Lyudmila. She combined her studies, work at the Maly Theater, began acting in films.
And in the film "Stories about Lenin" her partner was none other than Oleg Tabakov. The cherished dream came true. Lyudmila Krylova did not take her loving eyes off him. Probably, it was her sincerity and openness that impressed Tabakov. Their relationshipbegan to develop from the first day. He lived in a small room in the center of the capital, and she, who immediately took their relationship very seriously, soon moved there. There were many difficulties ahead of them, but then life was filled with love and happiness.
For a long time, the couple lived in a civil marriage in the same communal apartment where Tabakov rented a room before meeting his future wife.
Bride in a box
Some of Tabakov and Krylova's entourage said that Lyudochka was not at all such a naive young lady in her youth as she wanted to appear. Their marriage might not have taken place if not for her perseverance and straightforwardness, which were side by side with naivety and inexperience. She almost immediately told all her classmates that she and Oleg were now husband and wife. Lyudmila said the same thing to her father right in the presence of Tabakov, when she first brought him to her parents' house. He was shocked by such a statement, but devoted eyes looked at him with sincere love, and Tabakov did not contradict.
Then Lyudmila Krylova got pregnant. And she had to take final exams, suffering from late toxicosis, in the last months of pregnancy. Son Anton was born. And only after that Tabakov made an official proposal, but this also happened very spontaneously. He offered, they caught a taxi, went to the registry office and signed. This long-awaited event was celebrated by the entire staff of the Sovremennik Theater. The wedding was fun, and even savvy and perky friends gave the groom a grand surprise. They put the bride in a huge box,tied with a scarlet bow and presented to Tabakov.
Difficulties
But not everything was easy in the life of a successful acting couple. They haven't been able to buy a home yet. They continued to live in a cramped room in a communal apartment, where, in addition to themselves, a nanny lived, who was hired for Anton. Such difficulties often annoyed Tabakov. Once Lyudmila Krylova, an actress at that time very in demand, went on tour and was forced to leave her son with her husband. Upon arrival, she saw an irritated Tabakov, who handed her a "hungry and cold" child. And he added: “Never do that again!”
The second wind of love…
When Oleg Tabakov suffered a severe heart attack in 1964 at the age of 29, he realized how much his wife cherished him. Lyudmila nursed him and supported him in every possible way. Although it was unbearably hard for her to be torn between her bedridden husband, her young son and the theater. After the difficult period passed, their relationship seemed to be reborn. Love for each other flared up with renewed vigor. It was then (1966) that their second child was born - the daughter of Alexander. Lyudmila Krylova, a biography whose personal life proves how dear Oleg Tabakov was to her, again made a sacrifice. After the most difficult first birth, the second pregnancy could have ended for her with a fatal outcome. But she could not give up the desire to give her beloved husband a daughter.
Romance on the side
After that, Lyudmila Krylova, an actress who could play even more roles,began to devote almost all her time to caring for children and her husband. Work has faded into the background. And Oleg Pavlovich, on the contrary, did not have time for his family at all. He spent days and nights at work. During the day - in the Sovremennik, and at night - in the Tabakerka. Then, in the late 70s, his brainchild had not yet received the status of a theater, but performances were already shown. Even despite the criticism of Tabakov by officials, there were plenty of people who wanted to work with him. He didn't refuse anyone. Rehearsals took place mostly at night. It was then that the schoolgirl Marina Zudina began to come to the Tabakerka, who later became the second wife of Oleg Pavlovich.
Marina already then was a purposeful girl: she planned to become a great artist and find a worthy husband. Having started studying at the Snuffbox, Zudina began to pay attention to the brutal Tabakov not only as a teacher, but also as a man. Based on the mean statements on this topic, the novel by Oleg Tabakov and Marina Zudina began in 1986. But one of Marina's former friends said that a year after graduation, at a meeting of graduates, Zudina boasted of her relationship with Tabakov. Indeed, at the entrance exams to GITIS, it was Oleg Pavlovich who put in a good word for her in front of other members of the selection committee.
Pride and dignity
Over time, Lyudmila Krylova also found out about their romance. The biography, the personal life of this woman demonstrate her natural tact, because in none of the interviews did she condemn her husband and his newlife partner who caused her and her children so much pain.
She could not bear these rumors about the relationship of her beloved man with a girl thirty years younger than him. Tears choked her. However, for several more years they lived together. Lyudmila wanted the children to have a father. When her patience ran out, she filed for divorce.
Lyudmila Krylova, whose personal life has always been the most intimate for herself, does not insult the father of her children, as many other representatives of the acting profession do, does not stigmatize the homeowner Marina Zudina with curses. She adequately bypasses this topic, once again proving her nobility. And only she knows how much pain the betrayal of the beloved man brought.
Children stayed on mother's side…
After the separation of their parents, the children - Anton and Alexandra - for a long time could not forgive their father for the betrayal and pain of their mother. Years later, Anton overcame resentment and resumed relations with his father. And the daughter remained in solidarity with Lyudmila, who even now rightly calls the act of her ex-husband a betrayal.
Oleg Tabakov officially married Marina Zudina, two children were born in the marriage: son Pavel and daughter Maria.
Lyudmila Krylova (see photo below) behaved very worthily after the divorce. But to this day, for her, the topic of parting is an unhealed wound, reminiscent of the suffering that she had to endure.
Filmography
Many people know that Lyudmila Krylova is a wifeTabakov, whom he left for Marina Zudina. However, film roles characterize her as a wonderful talented actress. Representatives of the older generation probably remember the bright images played by her in such films as "Peers", "Property of the Republic", "The Living and the Dead", "Katya-Katyusha", "Volunteers", "Stories about Lenin" and others.
And now, despite the fact that a loving mother and grandmother devotes a lot of time to caring for children and grandchildren, Lyudmila Ivanovna often appears on the stage of the Sovremennik Theater.
