Actor Mikhail Filippov: biography and personal life

"We are ruined by you, Mordenko." This phrase was repeated many times to the hero of the television series "Petersburg Secrets" moneylender Osip Mordenko, who brilliantly embodied on the screen, Mikhail Filippov, his parrot. The character was quite extraordinary - both a victim and an executioner to his abusers. Once he was forced to suffer, because he dared to love a woman not his own circle. Since that moment, his love has degenerated into a hatred and a desire to take revenge. All the senses from this moment are buttoned to the big buttons. And he yearns for just vengeance so much that even a single son does not experience paternal feelings.

First steps

People's Artist of Russia Mikhail Filippov was born in the capital of the Soviet Union - Moscow - on the warm 15th August day of 1947.

At school, he studied quite well, and after receiving the certificate a young man enters the Moscow State University at the Faculty of Philology. While studying, he plays in the student studio "Our Home". This same theater has become a creative home for Khazanov, Arkanov, Filippenko, Farada and many more stars of cinema and theater. Now he is so sure that his fate for the rest of his life is a scene that, having finished studying for four years at the university, Misha is transferred to GITIS. In 1973, he received a diploma about the graduation of this particular educational institution.

Our whole life is theater

Mikhail Filippov - the actor is amazingly talented, having a peculiar and very bright personality. Since in his first profession he is a philologist, he senses and understands the nature of each spoken word on the stage quite subtly. For three decades of his ministry at the Mayakovsky Theater , he did not have many major roles. But even the roles of the secondary plan and significance were embodied in such a way that they became sometimes more interesting than the main ones.

Yes, many roles that were as if destined to him by heaven, Mikhail Filippov, artist Unfortunately, he did not play a huge role. His theatrical fate was not particularly stellar. The path was long and time-consuming. But Mikhail Ivanovich overcame all obstacles with an incredible power of patience and a great sense of dignity. It took many years before Mikhail Filippov, biography Which is re-read by his contemporaries countless times, received the main in his creative biography of Napoleon (the play "Napoleon the First").

From Fouquet to Irinarhova

The first cinematic role played by Mikhail Filippov was in Sergey Gerasimov's film "Red and Black", which is very popular and popular with television viewers. The debut became more than successful. But for some reason relations with the cinema suffered some failure. Now, with his talent, he could only give theatergoers. Only sometimes did they go out to the wide screen films-performances in which he played.

Everything changed when the actor was already in adulthood. Then he was able to translate in front of the cameras many interesting and beloved viewers of the characters, the characters, mood, social status and education were very different. During the late 80's and early 90's he was invited to many of the paintings that have become classics of Soviet cinema: Gruzdev in the "Artist of Gribov", Chaadayev in "The Sukhovo-Kobylin Case", Vasya in the tragicomedy "Promised Heaven", Konstantin Sergeevich In "Alphonse", the investigator Matyukhin in the "Serpent Spring", Garansky in "Lehoy couple."

And in the movie of whatever genre Mikhail Filippov played, the actor gave a character a part of his soul each time. He has a very beautiful, remarkably delivered voice, whose intonations he easily brings the hall (if it's a theater) or the audience at the TV screens into a sense of delight and admiration. Possessing beautiful burning eyes that simply attract attention, he can easily charm the people around on both sides of the blue screens.

New, modern filmmakers, his talent, too, fell in love. One of the interesting roles in the comedy "Dzisay", where Mikhail Filippov, biography Which always aroused interest among fans, turned into a businessman Dudipina. Without a doubt, the picture was a success, especially if we remember that Alexander Filikov was a partner of Filippov.

Another bright spot in the filmography of the actor was two of the most interesting roles in the series of the late nineties - Vitaly Irinarkhov from "DDD. Dossier detective Dubrovsky "and usurer Osip Mordenko from the" Petersburg Secrets ". After the release on the wide screen, the popularity of both the actors and the series itself just went off scale, and the ratings rose to almost unattainable heights.

Unceremonious curiosity

In the actor's life happen incidents, because of which even the huge creative success and adoration of the spectators of the whole country are not a guarantee of happiness in family life and the only marriage union. A great rarity in the acting environment (and not only here) is the people who created the family in their youth, remaining together until their gray hair. Now few people can be surprised by divorces (sometimes quite loud and heavy) between people who are related to creative professions.

This is exactly what happened to our hero. Both the divorce and the death of the wife were experienced by Mikhail Filippov. Personal life The actor, despite his venerable age, is the object of attention and interest as admirers of his talent, so idle townsfolk.

Love, family, children

Behind this is a somewhat heavy-handed and even slightly menacing man with amazing eyes three marriages.

He created his first family with the daughter of the then General Secretary Irina Andropova. Relations between the spouses were far from perfect, so the couple broke up right after the death of Yuri Andropov.

After a while Mikhail Filippov Married with Actress of her theater Natalia Georgievna Gundareva. In this alliance there was everything you can only dream about: love and tenderness, trust and respect, devotion and mutual understanding. They lived together for 19 happy years. Unfortunately, Natalia Georgievna's illness and death have completed this beautiful fairy tale.

Natasha

One of the most beautiful women of Soviet cinema was sick for several years, and all this time the husband did not depart from her, trying to help everyone, than it is possible, guarding her peace from too curious people and impudent journalists.

Two years after her departure, Mikhail Ivanovich published a book titled "Natasha" about the main woman in his life - the deceased wife. It was a kind of book of memories and impressions about their family life, which included Natalya's drawings, Mikhail's poems, their notes of love for each other.

Waiting for a miracle

For four years the actor remained inconsolable widower. But, in the end, the pain subsided a little, let go. He was lucky: he met his mate. Despite the fact that Mikhail Filippov, whose photo can often be seen on the pages of tabloid editions, was older than the chosen one (she is an actress of the theater Natalya Vasilyeva) for twenty whole years, the wedding took place. Their colleagues told that the feeling for the future husband was born in Natasha in 1993, when she came to the troupe. At that time, no one could have imagined that in a few years a misfortune would break out. Therefore, the girl admired Michael only from afar, not hoping for anything. It was said that it was because of this feeling of love that she did not marry until she was 40, rejecting all the proposals of men in love with her.

Nemolody, but loved

About the feelings of his future third wife, Michael learned only after the death of the second. Little by little, he began to pay attention to her. There was no long courtship, just a quiet painting. The only condition for Natalia was the wedding, because the questions of faith were of colossal importance for her.

Love and understanding prevail in this family. Since the couple are no longer twenty, there are no special passions, but their relationship is very vibrant. Natalia often spoils her husband with baked goods, to which he has a special weakness. And Michael always protects his young wife.

The only sad moment in their alliance was the issue of joint children. "This worries me very much," Mikhail Filippov once said. The actor became a father (he has a son), being in his first marriage, Michael is already a grandfather. In the second marriage, there were no children. Several years in the press there were reports of Natalia's pregnancy, but one day she could not bear the child, and all the other articles were "ducks". Whether they succeed in realizing their dream, while it is not known, at any rate, no information appeared in the print media. It remains only to wish them health, happiness and luck.
