I warn you right away, the tex is large, many, many letters !!!
The life of famous people always attracts public attention, and their death even more so. Even great people, despite universal love, were vulnerable and unhappy, some idols could not come to terms with reality. Decades pass, and their fans continue to try to explain the circumstances of the death of their idols.

1. The King of Pop died at 50 from a drug overdose.

There is no such person on the planet who would not listen to the songs of Michael Jackson. The legend and king of pop passed away at the age of 50, and this was a great tragedy for all his fans. The famous singer who made history died of a drug overdose on the morning of June 25, 2009.

On that day, the musician's doctor, Conrad Murray, gave Michael Jackson an injection of propofol and walked away. About 2 hours later, Murray returned to find his patient lying on the bed with his eyes and mouth wide open. The doctor tried to resuscitate the singer, but the attempts were unsuccessful. At 12:21 local Pacific time, a call to 911 was recorded. Arriving after 3 minutes and 17 seconds, the doctors found Jackson no longer breathing with a cardiac arrest and immediately began cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Efforts to bring Jackson back to life continued along the way and for an hour after arriving at the UCLA Medical Center at 1:14 p.m. These attempts were unsuccessful. Death was pronounced at 14:26 local time. Rumors of his death were publicized in the first minutes. News of the death of Michael Jackson broke all network records.

Jackson's funeral was held on Thursday, September 3 at Forest Lawn Cemetery in suburban Los Angeles.

The court found the doctor who treated Michael Jackson guilty of his death. In November 2011, Conrad Murray was found guilty of manslaughter and was sentenced to 4 years in prison. He also lost his license to practice medicine.

Jackson is one of the few musicians who has been honored to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice (with the Jackson 5 and as a solo artist). His accomplishments include a string of Guinness World Records, Most Successful Artist of All Time, 15 Grammy Awards, 14 US hits and 800 million record sales.

Even during his lifetime, people, at the suggestion of Elizabeth Taylor, unofficially called Michael Jackson the "King of Pop", but this title stuck with Jackson so much that the musical society officially recognized him as such.

Jackson's Thriller, released in 1982, remains the best-selling album of all time to this day, and four more of his solo studio albums are among the world's best-selling: Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995). Jackson popularized difficult-to-perform dance techniques such as the "robot" and "moonwalk".

Michael was also awarded the Outstanding Contribution to World Culture Award for contributions of hundreds of millions of dollars to 39 charities he supported and his own fund Heal the World.

In total, the legendary singer received 395 awards.

2. 20-year-old Kazakh model Ruslana Korshunova died 6 days before her 21st birthday

The girl died under unclear circumstances on June 28, 2008, her death became the subject of worldwide discussion and attention. Ruslana fell out of the window of her apartment in Manhattan from the height of the ninth floor.

The police then regarded it as a suicide, but no suicide note was found. In addition, all her relatives and friends unanimously stated that Ruslana had no reason to commit suicide, hinting that it could be a murder.

Later it turned out that the girl really committed suicide, and this is due to the Rose of the World organization, which conducts “personal development trainings” in Moscow. Participants there are asked to talk about the most terrible events that happened to them in life.

Ruslana went to trainings at Rosa for almost a year. A few months after the final sessions, she completely broke down. Then she returned to New York to look for work. A few months before her death, she wrote: “I am completely lost, will I ever find myself?”

Korshunova attended training sessions with her friend, Ukrainian model Anastasia Drozdova, who also committed suicide under similar circumstances in 2009.

Organizations like the Rose of the World, experts say, “act like drugs on people: first they provide peak experiences, and then their supporters always come back to experience them again. Serious problems begin when people leave there. Training has already become their life - and they return to the void. Sensitive ones break down."

Ruslana was buried on July 7, 2008 at the Khovansky cemetery in Moscow. According to her mother, "my daughter loved this city very much and would like her beloved Moscow to become her last refuge."

3. Kurt Cobain shot himself in his country house. Before committing suicide, the rocker wrote a suicide note

The leader of the cult Nirvana band Kurt Cobain is considered one of the idols of rock music. At the age of 27, he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a gun.

His body was discovered at his Seattle home on April 8, 1994, four days after his death. The police report said that the musician was found lying on the floor, shot through the head, with a gun on his chest.

Kurt left a suicide note, written with a red ink pen, in which he complained that he had not been enjoying listening to and writing music for a long time and confessed to feelings of guilt in front of his loved ones and fans, which he could not cope with.

“I speak the language of an experienced simpleton who would rather be castrated by an infantile whiner. This note should be easy to understand. All the warnings of punk rock courses over the years, since my introduction to the so-called ethics that require independent acceptance by your community, have proven to be true.

It's been a long time since I've felt the excitement of listening to and making music and reading books. These words make me feel guilty. For example, when we stand backstage, the lights go on and the frenzied roar of the crowd is heard, it does not evoke in me the same emotions as Freddie Mercury did. He takes great pleasure in the adoration of the crowd, it causes me admiration and envy. In fact, I cannot deceive you. It would just be unfair to you or me. The worst crime, in my opinion, is to fool people by pretending to get the maximum pleasure. Sometimes I feel like I have to break the clock when I go on stage.

I did everything in my power to sort out my problem (but, God knows, it's not enough). I appreciate that the creativity of our group touched the feelings of many people. I must be one of those "narcissists" who only appreciate things when they're gone. I'm too sensitive. I need to freeze my feelings a little in order to regain the enthusiasm that I had as a child. During our last three tours, I began to appreciate my acquaintances and just fans of the group much more. But I can't shake the feeling that I only evoke disappointment, embarrassment, and sympathy in these people. There is something good in all of us, and I think I just love people too much. So much so that it's what makes me so fucking sad. Sad, small, sensitive, appreciating nothing man-Pisces (Kurt's zodiac sign. - Approx. ed.). My God! Why doesn't it suit you? I dont know! I have a goddess wife who is full of ambition and compassion, and a daughter who is so much like me - the way I used to be. Loving and cheerful, welcoming every person she sees, because everything is good and does not harm her. And it terrifies me to the point where I can hardly contain myself.

I can't bear the thought that Francis could become the same miserable, self-destructive rocker that I have become. I'm doing well, very well, and I'm grateful, but from the age of seven I began to hate all people. Only because it seems so easy for them to live and feel compassion. Compassion! Just because I love and feel sorry for people too much, I get something in return. Thank you all from the depths of my burning, queasy stomach for your letters and support over the past years. I'm too strange, sullen child! I no longer have passion, and therefore remember - it is better to burn out than to dissolve ...

Francis and Courtney, I'll be at your altar. Please move on, Courtney, for Frances, for her life, which will be much happier without me. I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU."

A memorial service for Cobain was held on April 10 at the Seattle Center Cultural Center Park. Courtney Love read out excerpts from her husband's suicide note. The widow also spoke to grieving fans and gave them some of her late husband's clothes. A private memorial service for the relatives and friends of the deceased took place on the same day at the Unity of Truth Church.

Cobain's body was cremated. Courtney Love, a practicing Buddhist, brought some of the ashes to the monastery at the Namgyal Institute for Buddhist Studies in Ithaca, New York, where they were blessed and mixed into clay to make ritual memorial figurines, and some she kept for herself. In 1999, Frances Bean scattered her father's ashes over McLain Creek in Olympia, where Cobain lived and worked intermittently in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The acting profession is unreliable and risky. Today, an artist can be in demand and loved by everyone, but tomorrow the trend changes, new faces appear, and everyone forgets yesterday's idol.

If in modern times actors have the opportunity to receive large fees, invest money somewhere and thus secure their future, then in the USSR and after its collapse it was impossible.

The Soviet actor lived on a small salary, and after 1991, dozens of eminent stars were thrown to the sidelines of life without a livelihood. We invite you to read about the fate of Soviet artists who died in poverty and oblivion.

Alexey Smirnov

Smirnov could never build relationships with women, after being wounded in the war he became barren and therefore never married. Smirnov broke down after the death of his friend Leonid Bykov - he began to drink a lot, despite health problems. He soon ended up in the hospital with ischemic disease heart, but could not give up alcohol there.

Alexey Smirnov: a clown with a broken heart

He was discharged on May 7, 1979, and died the same day. National fame did not make him happy and did not bring him friends. For a long time no one went to Smirnov's grave - it was overgrown with grass and for 25 years no one could find it. The burial place of Alexei Smirnov was discovered not so long ago quite by accident.

Alexander Belyavsky

The last film with the participation of Alexander Belyavsky was released in 2008, where he played a small role of the governor. It was the picture "A Kiss Not for the Press" with Andrei Panin in the title role. In the last years of his life, he could not work actively - heart problems and the consequences of a stroke interfered. Alexander Borisovich walked with a cane, he did not feel very well. Due to the lack of work and a small pension, there was not enough money to live on.

Belyavsky died in 2012. The artist was found under the windows of the house where he lived - Alexander Belyavsky fell out of the window. At first it was believed that he stopped in the stairwell to take a breath of air, and did not keep his balance. However, later friends and colleagues began to say that it was a conscious act, and the reason was a beggarly existence and health problems. Alexander Belyavsky was 80 years old.

Tatyana Samoilova

However, Goskino officials did not want to let Samoilova go to work, fearing that she would become a "non-returner". AT Soviet time she had enough work in the USSR - among her paintings at that time there are, for example, Anna Karenina. From the mid-70s, Tatiana Samoilova completely disappeared from the screen. They remembered her only in the early 90s - they were invited to the 43rd Cannes Film Festival as an honored guest.

Unfortunately, this did not become a reason for returning to the cinema. The first role after a 25-year break was offered to her only in 2000. After that, she played in only five films (for example, in the Moscow Saga with Olga Budina and Alexander Baluev). The actress herself said that if she lived in Hollywood, Anna Karenina alone would be enough for her to live comfortably all her life. Samoilova died alone in 2014.

Nonna Mordyukova

However national glory and demand, even in later years, had little effect on the quality of life. In 1999, she played her last film role - in the film "Mom" with a whole constellation of young actors. Her set partners on this film were Vladimir Mashkov, Evgeny Mironov and Oleg Menshikov.

In an interview, Nonna Mordyukova restrainedly complained about the lack of money and the humiliating existence of a penny pension. At the end of her life, she shared with her sister a tiny cluttered apartment in Krylatskoye in Moscow. She was sick a lot, so she could not earn money on filming and concerts. She said that the pension was barely enough for the bare necessities, and sometimes she picks up a pineapple in the store - just to smell it. Nonna Mordyukova died in 2008 at the age of 82.

Borislav Brondukov

Borislav Brondukov as Fedul in the film "Afonya"

Borislav Brondukov suffered his first stroke in 1984, at the age of 46. Despite a serious diagnosis, he continued to act in films, tried to lead active image life. But the first stroke was followed by three more. The disease lasted for ten years, and in the last years of his life - after 1997 - the artist did not get out of bed, could not talk, he only cried sometimes from longing and humiliation. Life was hard.

Brondukov's wife Ekaterina said that young strong guys of gangster appearance periodically appeared in the house, who left her some money. The couple lived in the village of Bykovnya near Kyiv, where doctors even refused to go. At times there was absolutely nothing to eat, and then a familiar butcher gave the family of Borislav Brondukov bones - Catherine cooked thin soup from them. The actor died in 2004, he was 66 years old.

Vladimir Ivashov

After the first starring role, there were others - the adjutant of Colonel Kudasov in the "Crown Russian empire”(The song“ Russian Field ”after that became the artist’s crown number), Pechorin in“ A Hero of Our Time ”(although Vyacheslav Tikhonov voiced the role, since Ivashov temporarily lost his voice due to illness) and others. True, it seemed that in the cinema they simply exploited his appearance, and no one was interested in Ivashov's acting range.

The song "Russian Field" performed by Vladimir Ivashov

In the early 90s, Vladimir Ivashov was not in demand in the cinema, he was fired from his job - from the Film Actor Theater. To earn a living, he got a job as a laborer: he dragged bricks at a construction site, kneaded concrete. In 1995, he died from an open internal bleeding- Vladimir Ivashov had a stomach ulcer. The actor was only 55 years old.

Tamara Nosova

Tamara Nosova worked for a long time at the Film Actor Theater, was married three times. But all three marriages ended in divorce, and after the death of her mother in 1982, she withdrew into herself and began to lead an almost hermitic lifestyle. In 1991, she was “left” from the theater. In addition, the actress was sick: the diagnosis was “chronic ischemia of the heart”, which is usually accompanied by severe depression, weakening of memory and attention.

In recent years, Tamara Nosova ate at a social canteen for the homeless, her pension was not even enough for rent. The toilet in the artist's apartment did not work for several years, rats scurried around the house. Nosova developed a craving for pathological hoarding - she pulled rubbish and garbage from the surrounding landfills into the apartment. The actress died in 2007, after lying on the floor in an apartment for several days after a stroke.

Tatyana Peltzer

Tatyana Ivanovna Peltzer has dozens of roles, voiced cartoons, a huge number of theatrical works. Among them are the television version of The Marriage of Figaro with Andrei Mironov in the title role, You Never Dreamed of with Lydia Fedoseyeva-Shukshina, The Memorial Prayer with Yevgeny Leonov and others.

Tatyana Peltzer lived long life, including professionally: until recently, she worked at the Lenkom Theater in the troupe of Mark Zakharov. Even when she began to develop senile dementia and the actress forgot the words, she had roles in the theater. In 1992, she ended up in a psychoneurological dispensary and broke her femoral neck there.

After the injury, the 88-year-old actress no longer got up. She died of pneumonia in July of that year. The press wrote that Tatyana Peltzer was buried in a closed coffin, as she was allegedly severely beaten in the hospital. There was no confirmation of these rumors.

Sergei Filippov

What does Masik want? Masik wants vodka

Filippov spent the last years of his life in solitude. Friends-actors said that after the death of the actor, the daughter of his second wife took advantage of the turmoil and took everything of value from the apartment - antique furniture, jewelry and porcelain. At the same time, Sergey Filippov's friend and colleague Alexander Demyanenko collected money for the funeral. Sergei Filippov was buried in April 1990.

Mikhail Kononov

Kononov did not give up: he wrote a book of memoirs and tried to sell it, but the publishers showed no interest. Due to poverty, he had to sell his Moscow apartment and settle in the Moscow suburbs. Two weeks before his death, he went to the hospital with pneumonia, but there was not enough money for the necessary medicines. Kononov died in the summer of 2007 from a thromboembolism.

Acting fame is capricious, and the nature of the artists is subtle and sensitive. Many were crippled by the collapse of the Soviet Union and, as a result, the commercialization of cinema. Often, artists drowned out poverty and humiliation with alcohol. The editors of the site invite you to read about Russian stars who were ruined by alcohol.
