Olga Bgan

A straight look of big sad eyes, stubbornly compressed lips, two tight braids over the shoulders - such is remembered actress Olga Bgan to millions of Soviet moviegoers. The image of the girl Nadia Smirnova in the film "Man born" became the biggest and brightest of her role in the movie. But fate played a cruel joke with her - giving a great start, she took away her acting luck. Olga Bgan stopped filming, it led to the collapse of personal life, depression and tragic passing away in the prime years.

Olga Bgan was born on November 25, 1936 in Chisinau (then the territory of the Kingdom of Romania). My father was a party man, he worked in the foreign trade. Being an ardent communist, gave children the names of a new era. The eldest daughter became Era, the son - the Decree, and the youngest daughter was waiting for the name of the Constitution.

This mother was no longer impatient and announced an ultimatum - or the daughter will get the name Olga, or abortion - and won. Olga's childhood was followed by difficult war years and post-war devastation. In search of a better life, the Bgan family moved to Moscow. Here began a new life for the girl.

Olga grew up not too sociable child. Even then she was overcome by internal experiences, contradictions, thoughts, which gave only a deep look of brown eyes.

It was this look, as it is called, hooked filmmakers who were looking for actors for an episode of the film "Behind the storefront" (1955). As a result, the girl was on the set, playing a buyer, choosing a suit for her companion. The name of the debutante, alas, was not included in the credits. But the next year the whole country knew him thanks to Vasily Ordynsky's film "Man Born" (1956), in which Olga played the main role.

The heroine of Bgan, Nadia Smirnova - a young graduate who came to moscow, but instead of studying plunges into a life full of difficulties, lies and disappointments. Nadia deceives a loved one and leaves one in a strange city with a child. Only having met the complete opposite of the deceiver - a good and decent guy Gleb, she finds a true happiness.

The film, which together with the debutante starred such beautiful actors as Vladimir Andreev, Vladimir Gusev, Nina Doroshina, was watched by millions of viewers. The picture caused considerable resonance: some condemned the girl, others sympathized. But the main thing - no one was indifferent neither to the plot, nor to the brilliant game of a young, unknown actress.

It is noteworthy that the role of Olga, without knowing it, took away from Lyudmila Gurchenko (director Ordynsky was the first husband of the actress). However, Gurchenko was also involved in the fame of Olga - she voiced this role. Learning about it, the debutante was very upset and for a long time bore a grudge.

After this work, Olga enrolled in the VGIK course of Vladimir Belokurov and Mikhail Romm. Her classmates were Inga Budkevich, Ariadna Shengelaya, Eduard Izotov, Vasily Shukshin, Andrei Tarkovsky - the actress will carry through his life.

In 1957, as a student, Bgan starred in the drama "Born by a Storm." In the center of the plot revolutionary events in Poland 1918, against this background unfolds the love story of a young underground man Raymond and Olesya (Olga Bgan).

Another major role in Bgan's filmography was in the comedy short "King of The Tambine" (1958), but it was not a great success. In 1962, the actress played two more cameo roles in the films "Sacking Ashore" and "Somewhere Is a Son".

In 1958, Olga Bgan got a job at the Stanislavsky Theatre, played on the same stage as Evgeny Urbansky, Evgeny Leonov, Maya Menglet, Evgeny Vesnik. But during 18 years of service here, the actress became actually the star of one role - Prince in the play "The Little Prince" based on the fairy tale of the same name by Antoine de Saint-Exupery.

Olga loved this role and each time played "on the break", which could not leave a review in the hearts of the audience - Olga in the role of Prince went all Moscow and guests of the capital. Over the years, playing a fragile child became more difficult, and each time the woman pulled herself corsets, and after the performance more and more often, exhausted, took the glass.

Two years before her death, in 1976, Bgan left the Stanislavsky Theatre and served in the Moscow Literary and Dramatic Theatre of the WTO.

In the biography of the actress there were two marriages. The first was in his early youth with the actor of theater and cinema Yuri Grebenshchikov. What prompted to part this beautiful acting couple - it is not known for sure. On the sidelines they said that he was carried away by some actress and Olga did not forgive the intrigue.

Anyway, on the eve of her 30th birthday, the actress was already a free woman. The rowers left her a two-room apartment, although they had no children. Again, well-known couple people told that Yuri loved Olga to the last, although he married a second time.

Olga, too, soon married. On her anniversary, she met the son of the famous Soviet poet Konstantin Simonov - writer and human rights activist Alexei Simonov. More precisely, they had met before, and Alex was fascinated by the actress. And after that evening began their impetuous romance, just as swiftly spilled into marriage.

In 1968, olga and Alexei's son was born, who was named Eugene after his grandmother, Simonov's mother. Yuri was the first to congratulate his new parents on the joyous event. They maintained a good relationship with Olga.

The Simonov family lived for almost 5 years. But even after the divorce, the former spouses communicated. The actress increasingly left her son mother-in-law, and she sought solace in alcohol and new relationships, contacted unworthy people who cheated, robbed. Shortly before her death, the woman married an ex-prisoner, who was literally picked up from the street.

The actress died on New Year's Eve 1978. I drank a huge dose of sedative and alcohol - this was the cause of death. The first to know of her death was Yuri Grebenshchikov. As if feeling trouble, I came to her house in the morning, but it was too late.

The actress was buried in the Khovan cemetery. For a long time her grave was ungroomed and even almost lost, but thanks to fans and members of the "Society of Necropolis" was put in order. Today there is a modest monument, people put a photo portrait, planted flowers.

Documentary films were made about the life and work of Olga Bgan, which were included in the series of programs "To be remembered".

Olga Pavlovna's son, Yevgeny, left Russia for the United States, graduated from the prestigious Yale University, his profession is related to ecology. He has long lived in China, is married, has a son Daniel and a daughter Maria. He doesn't like to talk about his mother, it's a taboo subject for him.
