Evgenia Men'shova knows almost everyone. This outstanding actor is awarded such a high title as "Honored Artist of the Russian Federation", has the Order of Honor. But most of all he was remembered by TV viewers in the role of the leading popular musical program "Song of the Year".

Evgeny Men'shov was born on February 19, 1947 in Gorky (today Nizhny Novgorod). Before taking the path of hypocrisy and going swiftly up the career ladder, he seriously engaged in sports: he played for the Gorky football team "Volga" as a goalkeeper.

Student years

A few years later, in the same place, in Gorky, he graduated from the theater school and went to try his luck in Moscow. And did not lose it. In the capital, Eugene entered and successfully graduated from a higher educational institution at the Moscow Art Theater - all the famous school-studio of the Moscow Art Theater. It is interesting that he did not only by his efforts.

Evgeny took a letter from his comrade Yuri Krupin, which was written by the reputable director of the theatrical school Vitaly Alexandrovich Lebsky. It was addressed to the admissions office of the university. Since in Moscow with the opinion of Vitaly Lebsky were considered, the director decided to assist in the receipt of the applicant, in his opinion, the hope of the actor. However, Yevgeny Menshov used the recommendation (the photo of the artist is presented later in the article).

Work in the theater

Since 1971, after the university was over, the future public darling worked at the famous Moscow Drama Theater named after Gogol, where he received only 75 rubles a month. The actor did not think about money. The only thing that worried him at that moment was whether he got the role and whether his name is on the lists.

The roles of the first plan came to the actor of the cinema far from immediately. Only in 1980, after the film "Melody for Two Voices" was released on the blue screens, Yevgeny Alexandrovich became popular. Kirill Vorobiev, whose role was played by thirty-three-year-old Menchov, at first glance conquered the hearts of all women.

Personal life

Next to him were those women who worshiped the artist, believed in him. The actor was married three times, and all his heart companions were exceptionally talented artists.

With her first love, Natalia Seliverstova, Evgeni Men'shov studied together at the Moscow Art Theater School. They lived together for almost 18 years and were happy. Union of Eugene and Natalia was torn, because the actress could not forget and forgive the betrayal of her faithful. She left not only from Eugene, but also from the profession. Until now, there is almost no news about Natalia Seliverstova.

Drama in the life of an actor

His second wife was also an actress - Larisa Borushko (played Amalia Kazimirovna Bezhetskaya in the film "Azazel"). To her, Eugene left his first wife Natalia in 1988. Their romance began when they were together playing in the theater of Gogol.

Soon it was Larissa who made Menchov happy with his son Alexander. His only child. Larissa was always beautiful, persuasive on the screen, charming and infinitely talented actress, distinguished by the so-called purebred beauty. For 18 years of marriage, they have experienced many tribulations. At the beginning of their relationship, Evgeni Menchov was already a popular presenter and actor, but not so much money was still being received. Since the actor left everything to his first wife, Natalya, the newlyweds had to live in a small room in a communal apartment, where there was nothing, not even furniture.

They slept on the newspapers spread out on the cold and creaking floor. But domestic problems and turmoil did not interfere with their family life. They were happy together, until everything ended Larissa's death. The reason for leaving the life of Eugene's wife was a long and very serious illness - cancer of the uterus. At the initial stage, this ailment could be cured by almost 100%, but Larissa's situation was much worse: she launched the disease to the last extreme, constantly distracted by work and forgetting about her health.

The actress died on May 1, 2006, having passed away at the age of 43. Eugene tirelessly fought for the life of his wife, replacing the best as Russian clinics, and hospitals abroad, but he could not rewrite her fate.

The next drama in the life of the famous actor was the news that Alexander's son stopped talking. But fortunately, everything went well, the disease receded after a long treatment. Alexander was educated at a medical university and lives in an apartment given to him by his father.

New love in the life of Men'shov

But Yevgeny himself was not able to get out of a difficult state after the loss of his beloved wife for a long time. Nothing brought the actor joy. It was said that together with his second wife, Larissa, Yevgeny Menshov himself was killed. The personal life of the actor gradually began to improve over the years, and only new love helped to cope with grief.

In a year and a half she became a young and beautiful TV presenter Olga Groznaya. She is famous for leading such television programs as "Date" and "Vremechko." Actors were familiar long before the beginning of their bright novel. It was Olga who managed to breathe life into Eugene again: after a thirty-year break, the actor finally returned to the cinema - and with a new enthusiasm blazed up on the screen in the popular TV series "Alexander Garden."

Lovers in each other artists did not even embarrass the difference in age, and they signed in 2008. At the time of the family bonding Menshov was 60 years old, and Olga - 42. All eight years of their happy marriage, the actress never stopped admiring her husband for a second, calling him not only a real man, but also an excellent man, which can be counted on the fingers. According to Olga herself, Eugene did not commit a single bad or wrong deed, let alone the mean.
