We are used to seeing our favorite actors in films where they are young and beautiful. But life is relentless. In the fall of 2018, Valentin Gaft, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, turned 83 years old. We peer into the haggard and aged face of the People's Artist of the RSFSR, we are glad that close people are next to him, his wife Olga Ostroumova and her children, but we ask ourselves: where is Valentin Gaft's own daughter?
Eldest daughter
Few people know that he has two of them. The actor with a quarrelsome character, whose recognition did not come immediately, first married Elena Izergina, one of the first models of the Soviet Union.
Their marriage lasted eight years, although Gaft did not hide the fact that he behaved quite freely. I could not come from the theater to spend the night, but instead go to the airport to meet another mistress in a completely different city.
Elena was a well-bred, intelligent and economic woman and at the same time an extraordinary beauty. Seeing that nothing had changed after the birth of her daughter, she left. She fell in love with Dal Orlov, a famous film critic, who replaced the girl's father.
The daughter of Valentin Gaft, whose photo with her family can be seen a little higher, is already an adult. She is married to a German citizen, she is a mother herself and has absolutely no contact with her biological father. The only dad for her is Dal Orlov, whom she remembers from childhood.
Olga Eliseeva
The daughter of Valentin Gaft from his second wife, the famous ballerina Inna Eliseeva, is considered to be the only heiress of the actor. It is curious that the romance of Olga's parents began when her mother was married to playwright Edward Radzinsky. But pregnancy from Gaft led Inna Eliseeva to part with her first husband and fight for her happiness, as she understood it.
A woman came to the theater and, with the whole troupe, announced the news that she was expecting a baby from Valentin Iosifovich. It was clear to everyone: if the actor does not marry, serious trouble awaits him, because Eliseeva will complain to the party committee. So, with a scandal, a new family life of a famous actor began. But it was short-lived.
Quarrels, screams, eternal discontent accompanied Gaft's life from the very beginning. The birth of a daughter could not change anything. For the sake of the baby, Inna Eliseeva quit her career, which made her character simply unbearable. The decision to leave the family was the only right one forValentina Gafta.
Biography of the famous actor's daughter: famous facts
Olga was born in 1973, and in the early 80s her father left the family forever. However, he maintained a relationship with his daughter, although it was rather difficult given the eccentric nature of the ex-wife.
Inna Eliseeva was brought up in a professorial family and from childhood she got used to luxury, the fulfillment of any whim. She continued to live for her own pleasure, while completely determining the fate of her daughter, who was sent to ballet.
After graduating from school at the Bolshoi Theater (teacher - E. Ryabinkina), the girl was taken to the troupe of the Kremlin ballet, where Olga worked for 10 years. But this was not her calling. After finishing performing, the girl became a student of GITIS in order to choreograph herself.
Departing life at the age of 29, Olga will remain a student of the 4th year of the ballet master department, not realizing herself in a new profession.
Life with mother
Inna Eliseeva lived with her daughter in a luxurious apartment on Kutuzovsky Prospekt. Things and the car played a huge role for her, she valued them more than her child.
It is a well-known fact that until recently mother and daughter slept in the same bed. There was a huge sofa in the hall, on which Olga could sit perfectly, but the woman forbade spoiling its upholstery.
After the death of her parents, Inna Eliseeva got another one-room apartment, but she did not want her adult daughter Valentina Gaft to live separately. Housing for rentfor $700 per month.
But living together didn't work either. Mother constantly quarreled with her own daughter, humiliated her. Perhaps she envied her youth, because she did not know how and did not want to grow old at all. In the questionnaires, she underestimated her age, did plastic surgery. After an unsuccessful operation, the woman's right eyelid was poorly covered.
In recent years, she suffered from stomach cancer, but, unfortunately, this did not make her kinder.
First suicide attempt
In the spring of 2002, a real wake-up call rang. During another scandal with her mother, Valentin Gaft's daughter fell into hysterics. She screamed that she could no longer live like this and would throw herself out of the window. A suicide attempt is a good reason to call an ambulance. Inna Eliseeva did just that, after which the girl was sent to a psychiatric hospital.
Olga spent a whole month in Kashchenko. She was injected with psychotropic drugs, which only harmed her. The mother turned the girl into a formally mentally ill person. Olga's closest friend later wrote that at the same time, the daughter herself was very protective of her mother, who had a serious diagnosis, and tried not to upset her.
The girl's beloved man tried to take her away from the hospital, but the doctors convinced her that it would be better. He will blame himself for his inaction until the end of his days.
Private life
For the last two years, Valentin Gaft's daughter has been in love. Her chosen one was Vladimir Bogorad. Since 1983, he has been the conductor of the State Concert and the Moscow Ballet on Ice. The age difference between the partners was 35 years.
The director perceived the girl in love with him as an angel sent to him by fate. But, unfortunately, his feeling was not as passionate as that of his loving girlfriend. He not so much loved as he was not ready to deceive someone else's hope.
Olga and Vladimir Bogorad, who had an apartment in 1st Smolensky Lane, could be happy, but, unfortunately, the girl could not leave her mother. Perhaps this was the cause of the tragedy that broke out on the eve of her birthday.
Presumably on August 24, 2002, after another quarrel with a parent, Valentina Gaft's daughter hanged herself.
Death
It was a deliberate move. The girl left two suicide notes, one of which was intended for Vladimir Bogorad. He went on a three-day tour and remembers that the day before Olga called from her mobile. But he was at a banquet and couldn't feel his girlfriend's anxious intonation.
Surely the girl realized that the real feelings that she expected from Bogorad, he could not give her. Therefore, with all the declaration of love that permeated her suicide note, the pain of loneliness pierces through it:
Don't be sad. You won't. Have fun.
It is impossible to read the last lines of Olga Eliseeva without tears. She called her life for the last 6.5 years hell and was very sorry that she saw her father so rarely.
Mother in recent years openly mocked her daughter, crippling her psyche. In Olga's diaries, you can read that even having sex with men, shepracticed in her presence.
After another quarrel, when the mother went to the country, the girl tried to hang herself on the chandelier. But the rope broke. This did not stop the unfortunate. She tried again, but on the closet door. The mother found her daughter's body only the next day. And a few days later, terrible headlines appeared in the press: "The death of Valentin Gaft's daughter."
Afterword
Neighbors describe a terrible picture: the mother's first words at the sight of the tragedy were worries about the chandelier. When the girl made her first suicide attempt, bronze monograms bent under the weight of her body.
Inna Eliseeva briefly survived Olga. Terminally ill, she no longer attended the funeral of her own daughter, and in January 2003 she was buried at the same Troekurovsky cemetery, where her heiress was cremated. By the way, she bequeathed all her property to a business friend.
And what about Valentin Gaft? Daughter Olga, whose cause of death lies in the extraordinary vulnerability and internal insecurity, will remain his pain until the end of his days. He did not even know what was happening behind the doors of the apartment on the street. Kutuzovskaya. His daughter's diaries revealed this too late.
Today, a happy change took place in the life of the actor. Not so long ago, he personally met his illegitimate son, who lives in Brazil.
Two years after Olga's death, Vladimir Bogorad also passed away.
