Andrei Konchalovsky is a talented director, a descendant of the famous Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky family. He enjoyed great success with women and was married 5 times. The last wife is 36 years younger than Andrei, but it was this marriage that turned out to be the longest and truly happy.
Ex-wives
Andrei Mikhalkov (creative pseudonym Andron Konchalovsky) is the eldest son of the famous couple: Sergei Mikhalkov and Natalia Konchalovskaya. From a young age, he showed an interest in art, and when the time came, he made a serious choice of his future profession, enrolling in the directing department of VGIK. The first successful works were filmed during the student days. Later I had the experience of living in the USA, shooting new works, returning to my homeland.
Konchalovsky's creative quest fully explained his rich personal life. The master has 5 official marriages and a number of very close friends. Despite love and betrayal, ex-wives maintain good relations with Andron, and he himself always emphasizes that he does not regret any of the marriages.
Not surprisingly, all wives are related to art. Ballerina Irina Kandit became the first wife of Konchalovsky. The wedding took place in 1957, but the couple lived together for only 2 years. The divorce took place on the initiative of Irina: she left the director for the conductor of the Bolshoi Theater.
Konchalovsky entered into a second marriage with Natalia Arinbasarova. The girl starred in his film "The First Teacher" and amazed the director with her sincerity, fragility, unusual oriental beauty. In marriage, a son, Yegor, was born, who later also became a director. The couple broke up because of Konchalovsky's relationship with Polish actress Beata Tyszkiewicz. Later, Natalya married twice more, and with Andron she was always on good terms. The son, too, did not hold evil against his father because of the breakup of the family.
The third wife of the director was the Frenchwoman Vivian Godet. Translator and orientalist. Andron has always been attracted by unusual and bright women, the beautiful Vivienne was no exception. The marriage lasted almost 12 years, the couple had a daughter, Alexander.
For the fourth time, Konchalovsky married a television announcer Irina Martynova. The joint life was interrupted after meeting Yulia Vysotskaya; even the daughters Natalya and Elena could not hold the tank together.
Julia Vysotskaya: biography
Fifth. Konchalovsky's last marriage turned out to be more successful than the previous ones. Julia Vysotskaya became his chosen one.
The future actress, TV presenter, passionate cook was born in 1973. There were real Don Cossacks in her family - Julia herself is sure that it was from her ancestors that she inherited a stubborn character, enterprise and self-confidence. The girl's stepfather was a military man, the family moved frequently. Despite this, Julia managed to finish well not only general education, but also music school.
The girl dreamed of an acting career and on the first attempt entered the Belarusian Academy of Arts in Minsk. She played the first roles while still a student. After graduation, she worked as a TV presenter on a local channel, and then entered the Yanka Kupala Theater. At the same time, Julia studied English, which helped to enter the London Academy of Dramatic Art. Now there was another prestigious diploma in her portfolio.
The aspiring actress met Andron Konchalovsky at the 1996 Kinotavr festival. The director was the first to notice the spectacular girl, invited her to dinner, and a couple of days later - on a trip to Istanbul. Julia took it all as an interesting adventure, but gradually the mutual interest grew into falling in love, and then into a deeper feeling. The girl was not embarrassed by either the age difference or the fact that at the time of their acquaintance Konchalovsky was married. Andron himself quickly proved that the relationship with Julia is not a fleeting romance, but something more serious. He filed for a divorce, and in 1999 made an official proposal to Vysotskaya.
Successful career and family
The ill-wishers were sure: the aspiring actress connected her life with a successful director. To get the best roles. In a sense, these assumptions were correct, the beginning of the 2000s was a breakthrough for Vysotskaya's acting career. She starred in several interesting projects: "House of Fools", "Max", "Lion in Winter", "Soldier's Decameron", "The First Rule of the Queen", "Gloss".
In 2003, Vysotskaya began another large-scale project, acting as a host in the popular TV show "Let's Eat at Home". The idea inspired the actress so much that soon another program "Breakfast with Yulia Vysotskaya" was launched. Later, the programs became the basis for recipe books; under the patronage of Vysotskaya, the Eat at Home product brand and a social culinary network of the same name were launched.
Despite her busy work schedule, Vysotskaya always emphasized that her husband and family came first for her. In 1999, a daughter, Maria, was born, 4 years later, a son, Peter, was born. The couple lived happily, but in 2013 a disaster struck: Maria had an accident with her father. Andron was practically not injured, but the girl received serious injuries, from which she is slowly recovering to this day. The spouses prefer not to comment on their daughter's condition, but they do everything possible for her recovery and sincerely hope that a young and strong body will recover from a terrible accident.
