The eldest son of Marina Vladi. Beautiful Marina. Her story
On November 24-25, the Paris auction house Drouot will put up manuscripts by Vladimir Vysotsky, his death mask and photographs from the personal archive of the French actress and last wife of the outstanding actor and poet Marina Vlady. The second wife of Vysotsky, Lyudmila Abramova, told us how she relates to the situation with the sale of relics.
Marina Vlady
Marina Vlady herself explained her step by moving from a large house in the city of Maisons-Laffite to a suburb of Paris, where she would live in a small apartment. So you have to part with some valuable things, paintings, sculptures and books. In the cultural center-museum of Vladimir Vysotsky in Moscow, which is run by the son of the famous bard Nikita Vysotsky, they dream of acquiring rarities from Vladi's collection, but there are no funds for this. You can only count on the help of patrons or the state.
Actress Lyudmila Abramova, Vysotsky's second wife, mother of his sons Arkady and Nikita, until recently worked in the museum named after her husband, conducted amazing excursions, which became a philosophical conversation about life and art.
- What can be done to get the archive of Marina Vladi?
His fate depends entirely on Marina's mood. And it, as I understand it, is not the best for her, since she decided to sell personal items.
Marina is in a difficult position. And it is her own business, how to dispose of her property. Don't forget that she turns 77 on May 9th. I don't have any bad feelings towards her.
I don't want anyone to have a bad attitude towards Marina. Her second husband was a wonderful man. Their family helped the unfortunate Andrei Tarkovsky when he ended up in Paris. Marina's husband operated on him, treated him, did everything possible to alleviate his suffering. They carried Tarkovsky in their arms during the difficult years of emigration.
As for Volodya's manuscripts, they will eventually all come to the museum. It's unavoidable. But you will have to pay dearly for them. If we had some money in the museum, we would buy all the archives of Volodya.
- Why do you think Marina Vlady took this extreme step?
Excuse me, you need something to eat and help your sons, who are also beggars. She kept everything, not a single manuscript was burned or thrown away. But we know examples when wives famous people burned their diaries.
I really don't want to hurt Marina. In recent days, I feel a piercing pain for her and what is happening. And I can't help. There is no need to explain how museum workers are paid in our country. Shish with butter. Now, unfortunately, even such Volodya's friends as Misha Shemyakin have no money. His exhibitions are terribly expensive for him.
Death mask of Vladimir Vysotsky.
- And what kind of death mask does Marina keep? Are there several of them?
The mask in this case is not the most important thing. The main mask is kept in our museum - the one that the sculptor Yura Vasilyev bequeathed to me when he died. He was the husband of a childhood friend of mine.
Elya, with whom we lived in the same entrance, married Yurochka Vasiliev, who worked as an artist in the theater for many years. And he firmly told her: "As soon as I die, take the mask to Lucy." Which she did.
I don't know what kind of mask Marina has. Possibly plaster. But maybe silver. Let him sell. Not scary. It used to be that we were afraid that the mask would go from hand to hand, reach the market. There were several copies. From the very beginning, Yurochka Vasiliev made a mask for Yuri Lyubimov, Marina Vladi and a third one for himself. Even Volodya's mother, Nina Maksimovna, did not have her. Then he made a mask for Valera Zolotukhin, who gave it to our exhibitions.
If Marina still has a silver mask, then, God forbid, that she is well paid for it.
- Means, greatest value represents the handwritten text of Vysotsky's poem?
Letters. Marina had more than two hundred of them. Some of the letters were stolen in the hope of big money. But these people are silent. At one time, the correspondence was kept in Moscow, in a dacha, under the fence of which collectors walked day and night.
I feel sorry for Marina. Her life gradually spun into a tight knot of failures and troubles. The first family of her late husband, a surgeon, did not leave anything to her, except for two or three books that lay in the apartment. Her children also have nothing to eat.
- Not only our actors in distress?
That's it. What can you offer her? Touring in Russia? But it's still a penny, and even a terrible humiliation, because now no one likes to pay for anything. She will be invited to some nasty presentations with booze, so that she will say something and sing between times. But she will kill herself from such work. Our actors can endure this, because their pride is not spoiled. And Marina will simply die.
Marina Vladi (fr. Marina Vlady), real name - Ekaterina Marina Vladimirovna Polyakova-Baidarova (fr. Catherine Marina de Poliakoff-Baïdaroff). She was born on May 10, 1938 in Clichy-la-Garenne (France). French actress and singer of Russian origin.
Ekaterina Marina Polyakova-Baidarova, who became known as Marina Vlady, was born on May 10, 1938 in the suburbs of Paris, the town of Clichy-la-Garenne.
Father - Vladimir Vasilievich Polyakov-Baidarov, artist of opera houses in Paris and Monte Carlo, a native of Moscow. Moved to France during World War I.
Mother - Milica Evgenievna Envald, ballerina, daughter of a Russian general.
"I am Russian, only with a French passport. My father graduated from the Moscow Conservatory. When the first World War, he went to France to join the army as a volunteer. He was only son widowed mother, and they did not take him into the Russian army. Became a pilot, was wounded, awarded a military cross. After the war, he stayed in France, worked at the Paris Opera, sang for seven seasons at the Monte Carlo Opera. He was acquainted with Modigliani, Matisse, Delaunay. My mother's family left Russia in 1919. Mom ended up in Belgrade and there she met my father, Vladimir Polyakov, who came on tour.
My mother was brought up in St. Petersburg, at the Smolny Institute for Noble Maidens. In 1917 she was 18 years old. She was one of those who, inspired by new ideas, hung red patches on the windows on the day of the uprising. Then she saw how the Jewish cloth workers were smashed, and for the rest of her life she remembered how, shimmering in different colors, huge pieces of fabric were lying around, unwound all over the street. Then her beloved classy lady was killed, and she, like many girls, fled abroad in fear. So she, having gone through many tragic episodes, ended up in Paris," said Marina Vlady.
Marina is the youngest of four daughters. Marina took the pseudonym "Vladi" in honor of her father, after his death. All of her sisters also took pseudonyms.
Olga(Olga de Poliakoff-Baïdaroff) (05/05/1928 - 09/03/2009), TV director, pseudonym - Olga Varen(Olga Varen).
Tanya(Tania de Poliakoff-Baïdaroff) (06/14/1930 - 06/23/1980), actress, pseudonym - Odile Versois(Odile Versois).
Militsa(Militza de Poliakoff-Baïdaroff) (02/02/1932 - 08/01/1988), actress, pseudonym - Helen Valle(Hélène Vallier).
At one time in France, the performance based on Chekhov's play "Three Sisters" was very popular, in which the Polyakov sisters played.
As Pari-Match magazine wrote, the common capital letter V in all four pseudonyms of the sisters means the word victory - la Victoire.
She appeared on the theater stage at the age of four. And already at the age of 10 she made her film debut, playing a small role in J. Geret's melodrama "Summer Thunderstorm" (Orage d "été, 1949). The main role in this film was played by Marina's sister, Odile Versois.
Then she performed roles in the films "Excuse my French", "Jacqueline", "Black Feathers". Later, Marina will tell that one of her first fans was with whom she played in the film "Black Feathers". It was 27-year-old at that time Marcello who gave the young girl the first flirting lessons.
And a year later, on the set of the Days of Love tape, Marina fell into her arms (however, according to the actress, they never had a real romance).

her first great job the comedy "First Love" (L "età dell" amore, 1953) became in the cinema.
And wide popularity came to her in 1955 after the role of Eve in the movie "Bastards Go to Hell."

And in 1956, she played the main character in the drama The Witch (La sorcière). “I was not even 16 years old then, and although I, like all the girls of my generation, read a lot, including Kuprin, I didn’t do much psychology. I was given a text, and I played it. It seems to me that before I still play like this - more as a person, and not as an actress, "she recalled.
The film "The Witch" was a huge success in the USSR. Much later, the actress said: “I still get a lot of writing from Russia - not only as Vysotsky’s wife, but also as a“ witch . movie, and crowds of girls rushed to me, each of which was my copy - loose hair, bangs. They kissed me, I was all in lipstick. "

In the late 50s, Marina starred in the films of her first husband, actor and director Robert Hossein. Later she played in the films "Princess of Cleves", "Steps married life”, “American Wife”. Every year, several films with the participation of Marina Vlady appeared on the screens. The actress's partners on the set were Jean-Paul Belmondo, Jean Marais, Robert Hossein, Hugo Tognatsi, Gerard Depardieu.
For the title role in Marco Ferreri's Queen Bee (L "ape regina, 1963), Marina Vlady received the Silver Branch of the Cannes Film Festival as the best actress of the year. She was also nominated for a Golden Globe for this work.
In 1969, Marina Vladi, along with Nikolai Grinko, Iya Savina and Rolan Bykov, starred in the Soviet film "A Plot for a Short Story." Later, the films "Seven Deaths by Prescription" and "The Thief of Baghdad" appeared on the screens.
In the 1980s, the actress actively starred in television. Since the mid-1980s, she began to appear on the screen a little less often, while working on stage and stage at the same time.

In the 2000s, several films with the participation of Marina Vladi were also released: the mini-series Victoire, ou la douleur des femmes (2000), the film Resurrection based on the novel by Leo Tolstoy and the drama A Few Hours of Respite. She starred in the film 3 Women in Angry (2013), played the tapes Herself (2015) and Fanny's Journey (2016)
In 2006, Marina Vlady, together with director Jean-Luc Tardieu, staged a performance in French "Vladimir, or an aborted flight..." based on the book of the same name by her authorship. "This is a very big job. Forty-five numbers in fifteen hours. I read fragments of my book and Volodya's notes in French, I sing his songs in Russian. There are three musicians nearby," she said about the performance.
Wrote a novel "My Cherry Orchard" which is essentially an autobiography. "I decided to tell the story of my family, extending the life of the heroes of The Cherry Orchard, which I played many times. And the story of my loved ones is very similar to this Chekhov play, because my grandmother near Kursk had the same big cherry orchard. My grandfather is a general white army, and my mother is the main character of the book - a graduate of the Smolny Institute, who survived the revolution and the Civil War. At the end of the book, as in life, she meets Volodya, blessing me to live with him, "said the actress.
Then another book by Vladi came out - "On the beach, the man in black". In it, she frankly spoke about her illness, from which she also treated Vysotsky at one time - alcoholism. Marina's addiction to alcohol began with the illness of her fourth husband, Leon. With a diagnosis of liver cancer, he lived for four years, and Marina, in order to drown out the pain and fear for him, began to drink.

Marina Vladi's personal life:
She was married four times.
First husband - Robert Hossein (December 23, 1955-1959), actor and director (known for films about Angelica). He is 11 years older than her. In this marriage, two sons were born: Igor (lives in the Pyrenees in France)) and Peter (Pierre) (guitarist and balalaika player, lives in the south of France). The marriage broke up pretty quickly: the couple often quarreled even after the divorce for a long time felt real hatred for each other.
Second husband - Jean-Claude Brouillet (Jean-Claude Brouillet) (1963-1966), pilot and owner of an airline in Africa. From him, the actress gave birth to another son - Vladimir (lives in Tahiti). But this marriage was unsuccessful - it lasted only two years.
Jean-Claude Brouillet - the second husband of Marina Vlady
The third husband is a poet and actor. In 1968, Marina Vladi came to Moscow to shoot the film "A Plot for a Short Story". Here she met Vladimir Vysotsky, who in 1971 became her husband.
“I appreciated Volodya, first of all, precisely as a poet and actor. It was not love for him at first sight as a man. I think that he also respected me as an actress. Although he liked me as a woman, I felt it. We for a long time they rubbed each other in. For almost a year they remained only friends - they met in companies, talked. Gradually, interest in each other turned into love, "she said.
After the death of Vladimir Vysotsky, Marina Vlady had a severe depression, there were rumors that she tried to commit suicide.
In 2015 . In particular, the death mask of the poet and the original of his last poem (written on the ticket and dated June 11, 1980). "I'm moving. I live alone in a big house, which is not so easy. That's why it's time to move closer to Paris. I will have a small apartment, and, of course, you can't take everything with you. I part with jewelry, paintings, sculptures, books" she explained.
Fourth husband - Léon Schwartzenberg (1981-2003), oncologist, died of cancer in 2003.
Leon Schwarzenberg was the family doctor of Marina Vlady. In 1981, at the request of Marina, he helped the terminally ill. And when Marina, after the death of Vysotsky, began a severe depression, Schwarzenberg saved her too. Then Leon left his wife and son, leaving them a house, and asked Marina to temporarily shelter him. But he was expected serious trials. He, the Minister of Health and at the same time a staunch supporter of euthanasia, was persecuted. Once a journalist asked Marina what she thought about the "Schwarzenberg case", and she, with her usual harshness, stated that she was confident in the honesty of this man, since she lives with him.
After his death, she lived alone for two years and was in a real alcoholic captivity. From complete despair and suicide, she was saved by dogs that had to be looked after, and another passion - writing.
She told about her sons: “The elder was an artist, but, unfortunately, he got hit by a car, so now he does nothing. He lives - and this is already very good. The second son is a musician, a classical guitarist. Soon he will have a concert in Paris - along with his father, Robert Hossein. And the third ... How to say in Russian? Not an adventurer, no ... A man of a free profession. His father didn’t do anything, and his son followed in his footsteps. He was a pilot , then grew black pearls, then married a girl from South America, moved, got cows, became a cowboy - he had four thousand cows. Ten years later, he divorced and opened a restaurant. And now he is a photographer and also does Thai massage. All this he did well, but he threw everything halfway. "
Despite her age, Marina looks good.
She said about the secrets of her beauty: “I don’t recognize plastic surgeries, after them it’s impossible to look at a person. My mother died at 72, she last day was like a rose, so I must have good genes. In addition, I ate little all my life and weighed 54 kilograms. True, when I stopped being a movie star, I allowed myself to eat everything, and when I played Gertrude, my weight was 80 kilograms. But it is not important. The main thing is that you should be good with your brains and good at heart. Work always saves me. Love, of course, is very important for a woman, but not everyone gets it. Not everyone manages to meet such people with whom I lived. All my men were unique people."

Beautiful French actress Marina Vlady is known to many of us primarily as the wife of an outstanding Russian actor and musician Vladimir Vysotsky. For my long life this woman managed to go through too much: both career ups and tragic deaths loved ones.
Biography of Marina Vladi - a prime example how a woman should deal with pain. After all, no matter how hard it was, she always tried to find a way out of the situation.
Youth
Marina Vlady (real name - Ekaterina-Marina Vladimirovna Polyakova-Baidarova) was born in 1938, in Clichy-la-Garenne, a town located near Paris. Marina Vladi's parents were Russian aristocrats, descendants of nobles.
The father of the future artist, Vladimir Polyakov-Baidarov, a native Muscovite, left for France during the First World War. For some time he served in the Air Force, and after that he became a famous opera performer. Marina Vladi's mother is prima ballerina Milica Engvald, daughter of a Russian general who also emigrated to Europe.
Vladimir and Milica met quite by accident: she came to his concert. Soon the young people realized that they could not live without each other, and got married. In marriage, they had four children, all girls. Marina Vladi's sisters also became famous artists.
Marina Vladi began acting in films at the age of ten, and this occupation later became the main thing in her life. She took the pseudonym "Vladi" after the death of her father. The girl simply shortened his name.
Cinema and theater
Marina firmly knew from childhood: she would certainly become a famous artist. Therefore, she did everything to achieve this goal. At the age of 11, Marina Vladi starred in her first film - "Summer Thunderstorm". The girl got only a cameo role, while her sister starred in the image of the main character. But this first experience was the beginning of a long creative journey.
At the age of 15, Marina Vladi played her first major role - in the film "Black Feathers". This work brought the aspiring actress not only some fame - during the filming, she met the then-popular actor Marcello Mastroianni. There were even rumors that the 27-year-old Mastroianni had an affair with a 15-year-old actress. But there was no confirmation of this.
After the release of Black Feathers, Marina received an invitation to star in the films First Love, First-Class Girl, Scoundrels Go to Hell. It was the last movie, released in 1955, that made Marina really popular and recognizable. Now offers from directors literally rained down on her, and the career of the actress developed rapidly. Subsequent films made Vladi incredibly popular not only in his native France, but also far beyond its borders.
The best films with the participation of Marina Vlady were:
- "Witch".
- "Before the Flood"
- "Sentence".
- "Night of Spies"
- "Queen of the Bees"
- "Princess of Cleves".
The actress starred a lot. And only by the 2000s, her popularity gradually began to decline, although Marina still occasionally appeared on television, participated in various shows and programs. But the main roles in the movie she was offered less and less. However, Vladi was not upset at all. She found something to replace the cinema - now books have become her passion.
She started writing in the 70s. The first book by Marina Vladi - "Grandma" - was published in 1979. After that came out:
- "Milica's Stories".

Woman's happiness

The jealousy of the spouse, which arose against the backdrop of the popularity of his wife, to her countless fans, became the reason for the divorce.
The meeting with Vladimir Vysotsky was quite bright - in an interview, Marina Vladi admitted that she was struck by the passionate, passionate look of the Russian musician. After a rather short romance, they became husband and wife.
This marriage could not be called fully happy, since the spouses lived and worked in different countries. At the same time, Marina Vlady and Vladimir Vysotsky were not inferior to each other. She could not be permanently in Russia, because in France they were waiting for her interesting roles. And he, in turn, could not live in France, because he felt like a stranger there.
The death of Vladimir was a real tragedy for the actress. Having buried her beloved, Marina returned home devastated and broken. There were gossips that she even attempted suicide - she was so strong heartache. After the death of Vysotsky, Marina Vladi even released a record where she performed his songs. In addition, there is also a disc that they recorded together with Vysotsky.
Relations with Leon became the last, fourth marriage of Marina Vladi. In 2003, Schwarzenberg died after a long illness, and this caused another protracted depression of Marina Vladi. For a long time, she tried to drown her pain with alcohol. But work and ex-husband Robert Hossein helped her cope with depression.

Having heard about the “underground bard” and the brilliant actor, the Frenchwoman specially came to Russia and came to the Taganka Theater to see him with her own eyes. Striking her on stage, outwardly Vysotsky disappointed her when, short and nondescript, he approached her during a banquet after the performance. But ... at the same moment he stole her heart, declaring that he had loved for many years. Even the gypsy formula “I will steal with the fence” does not reflect what Vysotsky managed to do. He wrested his love from time, distance and the most totalitarian regime. What did the beauty pay for the all-consuming passion, thickly seasoned with confessions, poems and songs that are still sung all over the world? With your fight. For the most part - with the addictions of the Russian genius to alcohol and drugs, which she later described in the pain-filled book about their love - "Vladimir, Interrupted Flight" (1987), based on which she staged a play in 2009 and showed it in Russia.
