Biography, personal life of Natalia Bondarchuk is remarkable in that since childhood, the baby knew firmly who her parents were. Mom - Lyubka Shevtsova, which the Nazis did not dare to kill, but only wounded. She recovered in the hospital, healed the wounds, came to Moscow, changed her surname to Makarov, entered the VGIK, became an artist, married the hero Valko (Sergey Bondarchuk), who beat the enemy, and gave birth to her daughter Natasha. Both mom and dad turned out to be heroes.
Therefore, the girl answered the eternal question of adults who you want to become, a hero. She really became a heroine, starring in the role of the mysterious Hari in Andrei Tarkovsky’s film “Solaris”.
Biography of Natalia Bondarchuk
In life, Natalya Sergeevna is not at all like her long-suffering, confused heroine from the movie “Solaris”, which looks like a ghost. She stands firmly on her feet, knows how to manage people, is engaged in directing, writes books, and staged performances in her Bambi theater, thus multiplying her creative piggy bank.
Natalia Bondarchuk was born in 1950 in a renowned acting family. And this was the subject of jokes: they said that the girl was born not in a shirt but in a film. Father is the famous director and actor Sergey Bondarchuk, and mother is the equally famous and beloved actress Inna Makarova, who turned 91 this year.
The biography of Natalia Bondarchuk is also remarkable for many by the fact that she was born in the family of two national artists of the USSR. Although they were awarded this honorary title years later, nevertheless, they were quite recognizable and popular actors of the middle of the last century. Having starred in the film "The Young Guard", Sergey Bondarchuk and Inna Makarova got a one-room apartment on Novaya Peschanaya Street and immediately wrote Inna Vladimirovna's mother Anna Ivanovna German there, instructing her to take care of raising her granddaughter, and the nurse Nyura.
Guests often gathered in a small apartment - Nikolai Rybnikov, Alla Larionova, Klara Luchko, and the one-room apartment seemed huge to the girl. At that time, little Natasha had no idea who these uncles and aunts who threw her to the ceiling and sometimes caught her (Natalya Sergeyevna's joke).
Father
Natalia Bondarchuk was eight years old when his father left the family. Years later, the actress shared her memories, saying that she had experienced flour, considering herself guilty of leaving her father. Five years after that, Sergei Bondarchuk could not see his daughter. Inna Makarova was categorically against their relationship.
According to Natalia Bondarchuk, the biography, the personal life of children who have suffered a similar blow of fate, takes on a tragic connotation. They suffer from this complex all their lives, although they say that time heals.
At school, Natalie was envied by many, burned with curiosity, wanting to see how the role model, the protagonist of his favorite movies, lives. However, Natalia Bondarchuk, whose biography changed dramatically after her father left, there was nothing for the curious to answer. She herself saw her father only in the movies.
The second finding of the father took place only after the girl entered the VGIK.
Student years
From the age of twelve, Natalia Bondarchuk “fell ill” with the theater. After graduating from school, she submitted documents to VGIK and entered the course of Sergei Gerasimov. It was a "star" course, which was nicknamed the four Natasha course. As it turned out, Natalya Belokhvostikova, Natalya Gvozdikova and Natalya Arinbasarova studied with her. All Natasha were in demand by actresses of Soviet cinema. Of the guys were: Nikolai Eremenko, Talgat Nigmatulin, Vadim Spiridonov, who, unfortunately, have not survived to the present.
Once, having decided to stop by for a few minutes to see his daughter’s graduation performance, Sergey Bondarchuk remained until the end. After, having approached and embraced the daughter, he talked with her for a long time, recalling the past and guessing the future. The time has come for the rapprochement of father and daughter.
By nature, Natalya Sergeevna is more like a father than a mother. The same dynamic, open, thoughtful. She likes directing more, therefore, without thinking twice, Natalya Sergeevna also graduated from directorial courses. And at the age of seventeen she was offered a small role in the film "At the Lake". The first experience was unsuccessful, but two years later, Natalia Bondarchuk began to be recognized not only in the USSR, but also abroad.
Solaris
The finest hour of Natalia Bondarchuk, whose biography is intertwined from happy, anxious and at the same time sad minutes, struck when she starred with the famous director Andrei Tarkovsky. It’s probably not worth introducing Tarkovsky, whose name you can safely put in a number of directors who have reached the top of the world.
At first, he did not want to take a nineteen-year-old girl for a serious, dramatic role. But after several film screenings conducted with other actresses, Andrei Tarkovsky came to the conclusion that better than Natalya Bondarchuk (apparently the Bondarchuk breed affected), no one coped with the role.
The success of the picture was overwhelming. Together with the crew, Natalia Bondarchuk traveled half the world. In the West, she met Hollywood and European famous actors and directors who applauded her. This turned the head of the young actress. After “Solaris, ” offers to withdraw and rained down on her head, but the girl was ardently convinced that once having taken the high bar, she had to adhere to it. She was scrupulous about roles, therefore, the actress’s track record does not contain a huge number of films, but there is the role of Maria Volkonskaya in the film “Star of captivating happiness”, which she loves. There is Princess Sophia in the films “Youth of Peter” and in “The Beginning of Glorious Deeds”.
Many remember Madame de Renal performed by Natalia Bondarchuk in the film adaptation of Stendhal’s novel “Red and Black”. It seems that the biography of Natalia Bondarchuk (photo is in the article), related to the world of cinema, is associated more with the nineteenth, eighteenth centuries.
The personal life of the actress
Success on the screen accompanied the tragedy in the personal life of the actress. Between the famous director and the inexperienced actress, love flashed. The circumstances of life did not allow Andrei Tarkovsky to part with his wife, and Natalya herself was married.
Out of hopelessness, she even tried to cut her veins. After that, the biography of Natalia Bondarchuk, whose family consisted of a mother (she had divorced her first husband by this time), changed dramatically. She became a believer. Having accepted holy baptism, the actress calmed down, it became much easier for her to endure all the hardships of life, and at the same time there was a meeting between Natalya Sergeyevna and her second husband - actor Nikolai Burlyaev.
The performer of the leading role in the film "Solaris" sunk into the soul of Nikolai Burlyaev. The fact that Natalia Bondarchuk will be his wife, Nikolai Burlyaev felt immediately. Having met on the set, they were imbued with each other and, as a result, cemented relations for the whole seventeen years. In the marriage, two children were born - Ivan and Maria. And although years later the actors parted, this did not stop them from maintaining friendly relations. As a director, Natalia Bondarchuk in his paintings takes not only Nikolai Burlyaev, but also his second wife.
Component of happiness
Having survived the unhappy love for Andrei Tarkovsky, the actress never again is discouraged. The meeting with her third husband, Igor Dniester, took place during the staging of the children's play "Bambi". Igor helped her direct, and also played several roles in the production.
Another feature of the actress is unlimited love, especially to her loved ones. And she is often blamed for this, saying that the relatives of the actress play in all the paintings. So, for the role of Pushkin Bondarchuk invited her third husband, and in the film "Living Rainbow" starred Alena Bondarchuk - the half-sister of the actress.
Alena Bondarchuk
Unfortunately, Alena Bondarchuk passed away early. But, despite her short life, the filmography of the actress is quite weighty. She especially liked to act with Natalia Bondarchuk.
Biography, the cause of the death of Alena Bondarchuk is a separate story. They wrote and talked a lot about her. A disease such as cancer, unfortunately, does not look at the age of the one it affects.
