One of the famous actresses of Soviet cinema is Klara Luchko (1925-2005). Many viewers remember her from the pictures, where she played the role of women with a very difficult fate, but few people know that the life of the actress herself was filled with dramatic events.
Luchko's creativity
Luchko starred in more than 80 films. The role of Dasha Shelest in "Kuban Cossacks", which brought fame to the aspiring actress, became a memorable viewer. It was after the release of this film that she had many fans.
However, Clara's resounding success came later, when she starred as Claudia in the TV series Gypsy. Here Luchko appeared in the form of a loving mother, a sensitive friend and a simple woman who dreams of happiness. Clara so organically fit into the role that the director was not embarrassed even by the fact that 40-year-old Claudia is played by a 60-year-old actress.
There was a lot of gossip about the actress's personal life. She was credited with romances with many cinema stars, but in her entire life Clara loved only two men - her husbands. Luchko spoke of her beloved as the closest and dearest people who supported her in all her endeavors.
Lukyanov Sergey Vladimirovich - the first husband of Clara
The film "Kuban Cossacks" became fateful for Luchko, because he gave the actress not only laurels of glory, but also true love in the person of Sergei Lukyanov, who played the role of Gordey Gordeich. Colleagues said that as soon as Lukyanov went into the dressing room and saw the young beauty Klara, he exclaimed that he was missing. The actress reciprocated the courtship of her 39-year-old colleague. About a year after the end of the filming of the film, the lovers sealed their relationship by marriage.
Soviet actor Sergey Vladimirovich Lukyanov was born in September 1910 in the village of Nizhnee. His parents were miners. Sergei himself studied at a mining school and soon followed in the footsteps of his family, becoming a miner. But besides this, he took an active part in the theatrical circle. In 1929, after another performance, Sergei had the opportunity to try his hand at the professional stage. He was invited to the Donbass Theater. Later, the actor underwent a two-year training in the studio of the Kharkov theater.
The first wife of Sergei Lukyanov was the ballerina Tyshkevich Nadezhda Zakharovna, with whom they had a daughter, Tatyana. Clara Luchko became the second wife of the actor.
Lukyanov was considered one of the most attractive men in Soviet cinema. Nevertheless, all his love belonged exclusively to Klara Stepanovna. As many relatives and colleagues of the actors say, Lukyanov idolized Luchko, was always extremely kind and caring towards her, tried not to leave her for a single minute.
A year after the wedding, a daughter, Oksana, was born in a family of actors. A caring spouse did everything possible for the happiness of his wife and beloved child.
When Sergei was on tour in England, he spent all his fee on a gift to Clara, buying her a lace dress and shoes of incredible beauty. He always followed fashion and got the most exquisite and expensive things for his wife.
However, the happiness of the lovers did not last so long, on March 1, 1965, Sergei Lukyanov died of a heart attack while performing on stage. At that time, Clara was not even 40 years old. Luchko often recalled that her husband seemed to have a presentiment of his imminent death, since in the last days of his life he constantly talked about how happy and regretted he was about his age. He knew that one day he would have to leave his young wife. At such moments, he often mentioned that he wanted Clara to be happy again after his death.
Mamleev Dmitry Fedorovich - the second husband of the actress
Klara Luchko remained alone for many years and did not open her heart to anyone. She experienced the sudden death of her first husband very hard, but a little later fate brought Klara to Dmitry Fyodorovich Mamleev. It was he who helped the actress cope with the grief that befell her.
Dmitry and Klara met quite by accident in the 60s. Mamleev worked as a journalist for the Izvestia newspaper, where he covered the events of the Afghan war.
Together with Dmitry Fedorovich, the actress met her old age and death. The journalist was very homesick for his wife, so he often visited her grave. Soon the health of Mamleev himself weakened. Exactly 7 years after the loss of his wife, he left after her. Mamleev was buried next to Luchko at the Novodevichy cemetery in Moscow.
