The heroine of the article is actress Tatyana Vlasova, wife of Dzhigarkhanyan. The couple conquered Moscow together, having arrived from Yerevan. Both had one marriage behind them, from which they already had children. But the joint was not possible to give birth, despite 40 years of marriage. Formally, the marriage lasted about half a century. So, more details.
A little biography
The acquaintance of Armen Borisovich with actress Tatyana Sergeevna Vlasova took place in the Yerevan Russian Drama Theater named after K. Stanislavsky, where she worked as a full-time actor. By education, Tatyana was a theater expert and actress, which, incidentally, had been dreaming of since childhood. Her date of birth is 1943, January 5.
It is known that she worked as an actress in Kaliningrad (1964), and then in Yerevan. She married the director, gave birth to a son, Stepan, but the relationship of the spouses did not work out.
Armen Borisovich at that time raised his daughter Elena from a civil marriage with Alla Vannovskaya, an actress of the same theater. These relationships began with passion, but then the woman began to suffer from pathological jealousy, which turned out to be associated with a hereditary mental disorder. She died in a specialized clinic in 1966.
Acquaintance with Dzhigarkhanyan
The first meeting of the future husband and wife took place near the stage. Actress Tatyana Vlasova stood and smoked, and for some reason Dzhigarkhanyan drew attention to her beautiful hands and graceful fingers. The woman shared that she was depressed. And the actor recommended her … to fall in love. Over time, their communication became more intimate and sincere, and one day Tatyana Sergeevna admitted that she had followed the artist’s advice: she fell in love … with him.
In 1967, the famous director A. Efros invited Dzhigarkhanyan to Lenkom. Together with the artist, Tatyana Sergeyevna and little Lenochka went to Moscow. At first, the woman left her son in Krasnoyarsk, as she had to live in a small basement near the theater.
In Moscow, the couple got married, and Armen Borisovich put on a finger ring that he inherited from his grandmother. And when the family finally got an apartment on the Arbat, Stepan was also taken to Moscow.
Creative activity
Two years later, Dzhigarkhanyan left the "Lenkom" in the theater. Mayakovsky, where he worked for 25 years. He became a very sought-after artist not only on stage, but also in cinema. In 1989, he was invited to teach at VGIK, but how did Tatyana Vlasova, an actress, realize herself? In her youth, she played in only two films, fully devoting herself to a talented husband and family.
In 1977, she got a small episode in the film "We arrived at the competition of the cook." And three years later, together with her husband, she starred in the film of Armenian directors N. Hovhannisyan and R. Khostikyan "Flight begins from the ground." The action of household drama was taking place at the airport, where a front-line friend arrives at the invitation of the chief to help restore order. In the two-part tape, Vlasov plays a small role for Tanya.
Children
If the actress Tatyana Vlasova, whose filmography includes only two films, did not take place, then for sure she took place as the wife of a talented artist, because the demand for Dzhigarkhanyan is impressive. In 1996, he created his own theater, in which Tatyana Sergeevna worked as his assistant for some time. Two children grew up in a family. But in 1987 Lena passed away, and for Armen Borisovich this was a tragedy. He blames himself exclusively for the death of his 23-year-old daughter, who died on the eve of the premiere of "Sunset".
Tatyana Sergeevna was in Norway, where the couple planned to celebrate the New Year. There she received the news that the stepdaughter with a young man suffocated in the car. Armen Borisovich before the premiere was nervous and did not properly receive his daughter's gentleman. Lena was offended and left with him. It was a cold December day, and in the garage they turned on the engine to keep warm …
After the funeral, the actor played the premiere, but the wound in the heart remained for life.
Stepan also turned out to be a difficult teenager, at the age of 15 he asked for political asylum in Belgium. He graduated from Moscow State University, lived in the USA, then returned to Moscow. The stepfather attached the guy to his theater, gave him his last name, but he began to set up the troupe against the artistic director. Dzhigarkhanyan had to dismiss the actors, after which Stepan worked as a model for some time, starred with Armen Borisovich in the feature film about Don Quixote. But this is their only joint project.
Departure to the USA
In 1998, much has changed in the life of the Dzhigarkhanyan family. On the recommendation of then-President Yeltsin, Armen Borisovich and his wife Tatyana Vlasova, an actress, received a green card in the United States. It was a gesture of the first person of the country to the artist, who has great services to the country.
With the money from the sale of a summer house (Mendeleevo village) and a garage, Dzhigarkhanyan bought a house in Dallas, which at that time was quite inexpensive. Vitya family nest Armen Borisovich sent his second half. 57-year-old Tatyana Sergeyevna at first could not get enough: a favorable climate, clean streets, friendly atmosphere. Dzhigarkhanyan visited his spouse every year, and during his visits the question was always discussed when he would finally find a successor in the theater and move to the States.
In those years, Armen Borisovich himself almost did not play on stage, but starred in many films. Perhaps the actor in demand in his homeland dreamed of Hollywood, but it soon became clear that they recognized him overseas only in an emigrant environment, and for a career in cinema, he needed knowledge of English, which he did not speak. Actress Tatyana Vlasova herself, whose biography is described in the article, was forced to earn extra money not in her specialty: she taught local children the Russian language, and staged productions for them. Of her own free will, the woman conducted excursions at the local art museum for Russian-speaking tourists.
She almost did not leave herself, because the cat Phil lived in the house. It was the favorite of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, about which he spoke more than once in an interview. When Phil was seriously ill at the age of 18, the famous artist came from Russia to say goodbye to a dying pet.
Crucial moment
Everything changed in 2009. Actress Tatyana Vlasova, whose personal life is being discussed today in all the media, was waiting for her husband in Dallas. According to the established tradition, Armen Borisovich himself usually called, but there was no call at the expected time. As Tatyana Sergeevna managed to find out, he had a second stroke. She immediately arrived in Moscow, but her husband did not want to see her at the hospital bed. He promised to let you know when the meeting would be possible. But the woman associated with the great artist of the 40-year-old joint history did not wait for eye-to-eye conversation.
At the same time, Tatyana Sergeevna does not deny that all the time Armen Borisovich supported her financially. At the expense of his funds, she paid utility bills and taxes, made repairs. At his request, in March 2015, his wife finally returned to Moscow, having sold a house in Dallas. The national artist wanted to get a divorce and arrange a new relationship with Vitalina Tsymbalyuk.
Vlasova appeared in Moscow in April, but until June, when they were officially divorced, Dzhigarkhanyan did not find the time and opportunity to meet her. Tatyana Sergeevna stayed in an apartment on Starokonyushennaya Street, which is a joint shared property. To resolve property issues and determine their own fate, the woman tried to meet her husband at the theater. But he did not seem to even recognize her. And in the police station appeared a statement by Vitalina Tsymbalyuk about her threats to the people's artist.
What does Tatyana Sergeevna dream about
To date, the ex-wife of Armen Borisovich would like to live out her life in an apartment on the Arbat, while leaving herself the money earned for a house in the United States. Her pension is just over 8 thousand, so the amount of 137 thousand dollars could significantly brighten up the woman’s lonely existence. She believes this is fair, given that once in her youth she abandoned her own career, devoting herself to the family.
In one of the telecasts, Vlasova admitted that she had dreamed of how in the last years of her life she was feeding a sick Dzhigarkhanyan from a spoon. Could such a prophecy come true? Today, everyone knows the conflict that erupted between Armen Borisovich and Vitalina. At 82, a proud Armenian man is not ready to forgive deception and dubious property transactions behind him. For a long time he preferred to live in a dressing room, but not in an apartment bought and repaired by Vitalina with his money, but decorated for her.
It is known that the friends of the great artist bought him housing, because the dressing room is not the most convenient place to live. After the conflict, everyone began to forget about Stepan, the son of actress Tatyana Vlasova, who lives in the United States. In one of the interviews, the woman said that he had his own life and she was not entitled to count on his help.
