“Kuban Cossacks”, “The Return of Vasily Bortnikov”, “Big Family”, “State Criminal” - it’s difficult to list all the famous films that actor Sergei Lukyanov adorned with his presence. This talented person equally brilliantly succeeded in the roles of villains and heroes. He passed away more than 50 years ago, but his creative achievements will never be forgotten. What is known about the artist?
Actor Sergei Lukyanov: biography of a star
The boy was born in a small village located in the Donetsk region, this happened back in 1910. It is unlikely that the parents of the stars of domestic cinema, who were simple miners, could have suggested that the future famous actor Sergey Lukyanov was growing up in their family. In the first years of his life, the guy did not stand out from the crowd of his peers. At school, he studied secondary, having received a certificate, graduated from a mining school and got a job in a mine.
The theater became part of the life of a young man even when he began to work. It was at this time that the future actor Sergei Lukyanov became a member of the amateur theater group. Of course, for those around, the talent that the guy possessed did not go unnoticed. The first successes made Sergey believe in his own strength, as a result, in 1929 he became a student at a studio working at the Kharkov Theater.
Movie debut
The failed miner was already 34 years old when he got his first movie role. Actor Sergei Lukyanov made his debut in the film "The Duel", which gained immense popularity among the audience. However, this film did not make the young man a star, since the role of investigator Lartsev played by him was too insignificant.
Popularity came to the actor only in 1950. This happened thanks to the comedy “Kuban Cossacks”, in which Sergey played the millionaire Gordey Raven. This role can hardly be called simple; Lukyanov was required to create a contradictory image of a person who is different in ardor and prudence at the same time. Of course, he perfectly coped with this task, thanks to his charming character, turning into a national favorite. After the demonstration of the film "Kuban Cossacks", the actor had many ardent fans who did not give him a pass.
Interesting roles
Of course, “Kuban Cossacks” is far from the only known film in which the national artist played. Ovation deserved the role of Sergei in the drama "The Return of Vasily Bortnikov." Having survived the war, his character returns to his native village, where no one is waiting for him. The hero is forced to gradually get used to a peaceful life, which is difficult for him.
"Big Family" is another famous film, among the actors of which the audience can see Lukyanov. The national artist played in this picture Matvey Zhurbin - a middle-aged but still strong man, a tough head of the family. Interestingly, his character in this film, according to the script, was much older than the actor himself.
One cannot fail to note such a picture as “The Rumyantsev Case”, it owes much of its success to Sergei. In this film, Lukyanov embodied the image of Lieutenant Colonel Sergei Afanasyev, critics and spectators were delighted with his "living" character. Of course, there are other films that must surely be seen by fans of the actor: Twelfth Night, Hostile Whirlwinds, Donetsk Miners. Lukyanov carefully monitored his roles not to resemble one another, making the study of his filmography even more fascinating.
Life behind the scenes
The star of domestic cinema had two wives. He met the first one even before the start of the Second World War; the colleague Nadezhda Tyshkevich became the chosen one of the actor. The wife gave birth to Sergei daughter Tatyana, who also linked her life with cinema and theater. However, in this marriage Lukyanov could not find happiness. The reason for breaking up with Tyszkiewicz was his love for another woman.
Klara Luchko is a woman whom Sergey Lukyanov considered his only love. The personal life of the star finally settled after he met this talented woman. The fateful meeting took place on the set of "Kuban Cossacks", Sergei could not cope with the feelings that captured him. The wedding took place soon after meeting, in 1957, the daughter of Oksana appeared in the family. The girl did not follow in the footsteps of her parents, preferring to become a journalist, but her own daughter Daria continued the “family tradition”. The audience knows the actress Daria Poverennova from many wonderful paintings and series, for example, “Bourgeois’s Birthday”.
