Each of us remembers the cute twins from the children's film “Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors”. The picture was released in 1963 and was a stunning success. The main roles in it went to the twin Yukins. They played Olya and Yalo. After a successful debut, the girls' movie career did not work out. And their life was far from a fairy tale. What killed the most famous twins of the USSR?
A gift of fate
Tanya and Olya were born in the most ordinary family, which had nothing to do with the world of cinema. The twin father worked in a pillow making factory and drank regularly. And my mother worked in the studio and took care of the family. The woman was incredibly difficult. She often broke down when her husband got drunk, but then quickly left, because she was very cheerful.
In the early sixties, the family moved to live in Kuzminki. The twins went to study at a local school. At 9 years old, the girls were fortunate enough to take part in the reader competition, which was held at the local House of Culture. The jury awarded them the first place and presented many certificates.
Nobody knows how the photos of girls fell into the hands of Alexander Rowe. A month after the contest, they called from a film studio and invited them to audition. For the sake of such an event, mother sewed beautiful dresses for the girls. The twins were approved for the role, and soon they were already going to the Crimea to shoot.

For girls, this trip was a real holiday, because they first went to sea. They spent the summer unforgettably. They did not always want to swim and sunbathe after hard work, but they were fun and interesting. Tanya and Olya worked without any vagaries, since the director was frankly afraid of the director. They clearly complied with all his requirements. Reasonable Olya actually played herself in the tape.
And her sister is Yalo, a girl with continuous flaws. The twins were paid only 80 rubles for the work. The amount was small. Much more important was the popularity, which covered its wave of girls after the release of the tape. Olga and Tatyana with their mother were invited to the Kremlin. Fans wrote letters to the twins in tons.
Young actresses were not at all conceited. They easily communicated with classmates, as before.

Adulthood
High-profile roles and success did not turn the twins into professional actresses. They starred again in just one picture. In "Frost" they got a cameo role. The girls got it thanks to their own initiative. They wrote a letter to Row with a wish to visit the set again. The girls wanted to study in a theatrical studio, but it did not work out because of their marital status. Their mother did not consider the acting profession to be serious.
After school, the girls entered the engineering college. By profession, they did not go to work. The girls got married, however, Olya was not very lucky. Soon she divorced. Together, the sisters got a job at Intourist. During this period, they lived in abundance, since they organized the sending of groups abroad. They had foreign things, the first technique. Everything was fine until they were fired in 1995.
From that moment, a black streak began in their lives. They could not find work; they were interrupted by part-time jobs and vegetables from the garden. Later, the sisters began to work in the military enlistment office.
