Olga Melikhova

Talking about Olga Melikhova, they often recall the popular expression "actress of one role." In fact, there are a little more roles in Olga's creative biography, but her screen career really ended quickly. And, unfortunately, fate has prepared for the actress not only admiring glances of fans, but also need, hardships of life in a foreign land and the betrayal of loved ones.

The future actress was born on September 28, 1961 in Leningrad. Olga Melikhova recalls her early years reluctantly, but with invariable gratitude to her mother, who raised her daughter without a husband.

As a child, Olga did not stand out among her peers and even entered the university for a specialty far from the world of theatrical stage and spotlights, and after a few years she became a certified philologist.

Behind the shoulders of the actress there are no theater courses, no diploma of relevant education, and shooting in the first film was a surprise for Olga Melikhova, even for herself.

In her personal life, the actress was not always lucky. The first marriage between young Olga and actor Yuri Sotnichuk fell apart quickly. Young people did not get along together, in addition, according to rumors, Yuri was jealous of Olga's popularity, which he never achieved himself.

Years later, Olga Melikhova married a man from Spain. It seemed that this feeling is forever. In 2008, the actress even moved to Finland with her new spouse, tuned into a new life. But, unfortunately, this marriage also fell apart. The Spaniard found a new lover and left Olga alone, in an unfamiliar country, without work and money.

Olga's Finnish life gradually improved - the woman found a job, brought her mother to her place. But then a new blow awaited her - the documents that allowed Melikhova to live and work in Finland expired. The court proceedings lasted two years, and during this time Olga did not work. The woman had to save even on food. Fortunately, this period is over.

The actress has no children.

Melikhova's debut work was the film "Reed in the Wind" directed by Viktor Aristov. Varya Berezina, the heroine of Melikhova, became the brightest role of the actress, and this touching melodrama is still being revised by new generations of viewers.

The plot of the film is simple - a country girl, cheerful and charming, moves to a big city to go to college and find out, as it seems to her, real life, which is in full swing somewhere outside her native village. Olga Melikhova's partners on the set were Alexander Porokhovshchikov, Andrey Tolubeev, Tatyana Lebedkova.

Despite the lack of acting education, Olga's natural artistry attracted the attention of directors and critics. And a year later, in 1981, Melikhova got another major role - in the film by Viktor Titov "Vacation at his own expense."

Here, the actress again got the image of a young and naive provincial who, for the sake of her beloved, abandoned everything, moved to the city, found him in an unfamiliar place and even went after him to Hungary. But the young man Yuri (actor Igor Kostolevsky) was not at all in the mood for an affair with a village simpleton. However, the situation soon changed, and already Yuri began to fight for Katya's feelings.

This role brought the actress real popularity, and the name of the heroine Katya Kotova even became a household name. The film also stars the actors Alexander Shirvindt, Lyudmila Gurchenko, Lyubov Polishchuk.

In 1984, Olga Melikhova's filmography was replenished with the film "Two Hussars" directed by Vyacheslav Krishtofovich. This picture brought together talented and bright actors in one frame - Oleg Yankovsky and Alexander Abdulov, Sergei Zhigunov, Nina Arkhipova. The film reflects in detail the conflict of generations - an eternal problem that every person faces. It is noteworthy that the picture was based on the work of the same name by Leo Tolstoy.

Olga Melikhova also has more dramatic, characteristic heroines. So, in the film "Volodya the big, Volodya the little", released in 1985, the actress played a woman who cannot make a choice between an elderly but wealthy husband and a young lover who is not so wealthy.

Olga perfectly managed to convey the inner struggle of the heroine between sincere feelings and commercialism. Here Melikhova was fortunate enough to play with actors Oleg Menshikov, Rostislav Yankovsky, Victoria Korsun.

In 1986, the actress starred in the film "Only I Know", and in 1988 the cult film by Vladimir Bortko "Heart of a Dog" based on the work of the same name by Vladimir Bulgakov was released. Here Olga Melikhova got the role of the woman Zina, who helped Professor Preobrazhensky (actor Yevgeny Evstigneev) with the housework.

Boris Plotnikov, Vladimir Tolokonnikov, Nina Ruslanova also starred in the film. And although the heroine Melikhova was a minor character, the audience remembered the talented play of the actress. In parallel with the filming, Olga Melikhova constantly played in the theater, trying on different images. It seemed that the actress was waiting for a brilliant career and serious popularity.

However, fate decreed differently, and Olga decided to leave her beloved profession. At that time - the beginning of the 90s - the difficult situation in the country did not allow filming a large number of films, and viewers from going to theaters and cinema as often as before. The actress's talent remained unclaimed, and Melikhova had to go into business in order to earn at least a little.

In 2016, Olga Melikhova reappeared on the screens, and on Instagram and other social networks they began to discuss the plight of the former popular favorite. But the actress starred not in a new film, but in the program “Let them talk” (at that time the program was hosted by Andrei Malakhov). In the studio of this talk show, Olga shared with the audience details about her life, without concealing even the most difficult moments.

Now Olga still lives in Finland. The woman learned to paint icons and devotes a lot of time to this occupation. In addition, a new stage also began in Olga Melikhova's personal life - a woman got married. The name of the actress's chosen one is Ray.

Apparently, Olga Melikhova still found happiness in a new, “off-screen” life and does not plan to return to filming.

1980 - "A reed in the wind" 1981 - "Vacation at your own expense" 1984 - "Two hussars" 1985 - "Volodya the big, Volodya small" 1986 - "Only I know" 1988 - "Heart of a Dog"
