Sergey Vasilievich Makovetsky is a Soviet and Russian theater and film actor. His merits were duly appreciated by being awarded the title "People's Artist of the Russian Federation". He belongs to the small number of domestic actors who have earned recognition abroad. In 1994, the idol of millions of fans received the title of "Best Drama Actor in Europe". Today, many are interested in information about the artist's personal life and his financial situation.
A worthy representative of the eminent MMMM quartet (Mironov, Mashkov, Menshikov and Makovetsky) is also called a “gutta-percha boy” by the theater and cinematographic community in our country. And this is not accidental, because the multifaceted talent of the actor, capable of transforming into the most diverse characters, many associate precisely with his soft and pliable character.
The audience always notes with great delight the harmonious behavior of the artist on the set, both in the form of an inveterate bandit and a refined intellectual from an aristocratic society. Today it seems incredible that O. Tabakov and K. Raikin firmly refused him at the initial stage of his creative career.
short biography
On June 13, 1958, in a suburb of Kiev (dacha settlement Darnitsa), the future famous actor was born in a family far from the world of culture and art. The boy grew up without a father, who abandoned his mother during pregnancy, so Sergei began to bear her surname.
From childhood, the boy showed remarkable creative abilities, while at the same time devoting a lot of time to sports. All his free time was occupied by choral singing, music (playing percussion instruments), swimming pool and skates. And the introduction to theatrical art happened during school years by compulsion, when, at the insistence of the teacher, a student of the 8th grade reincarnated as Neschastlivtsev in the production of "The Forest".
The impressions from the stage were so strong that after receiving a certificate of maturity, Sergei changed his decision to become a medical worker for admission to a theater university in Kiev. The attempt was unsuccessful, but the young man was not going to retreat. After a year of work in a technical position at the Theater. L. Ukrainka he went to Moscow.
But here, too, he twice experienced disappointment from the verdict of K. Raikin and O. Tabakov. Still, Makovetsky was able to achieve his goal in the legendary "Pike", where he was admitted to the course of A. Kazanskaya. Moreover, this university not only became a launching pad for a novice actor in the professional sense, but also made it possible to get a "white ticket" for exemption from military service in the army.
Personal life
The aspiring actor met his future only wife Elena Demchenko in Odessa during the filming of the film "I am the son of working people". Then at the film studio, in a fit of emotion, the girl told her colleagues that she would marry the “first comer”, who, by the will of fate, turned out to be Sergei Makovetsky.
And then there was an easy acquaintance, a proposal made in a playful manner and the registry office. The couple was not embarrassed even by the 18-year age difference. A woman who is much older than her chosen one with a child in her arms was able to become the only wife of an eminent artist. Moreover, from the side of the People's Artist of the Russian Federation there has never been a hint of romantic ties outside the family. The only thing that was in the stormy youth of the actor was his pernicious passion for alcoholic beverages. Then his son brought him out of regular binges, who looked very convincingly at his father at the moment of another serious disagreement between his parents on this basis.
The married couple constantly attends public events in each other's society, during which others do not notice the difference in their age. Despite the absence of his own pages on social networks, Sergei Makovetsky willingly gives interviews to journalists, without evading any questions. In recent years, the idol of millions of fans regularly takes part in talk shows. So, in 2017, in the program "Alone with everyone", he answered a lot of interesting questions from Yulia Menshova regarding his professional activities and personal life.
Interestingly, the native of Ukraine constantly uses the phrase "Actors have no nationality" when it comes to the current political differences between the two neighboring states.
