fact

Childhood and youth


Like other famous actors, Valery Garkalin was born into a family that had nothing to do with cinema and theater, or with art in general. The mother of the future artist worked as a cashier, his father was the head of the garage workshop. As expected, the parents strongly disagreed with the son's choice of such an “empty” craft as acting. They saw Valery as a serious person with a good profession, for example, an engineer. Although the boy was clearly not a mathematical mindset.

Valery Garkalin was at first an obedient son. In his youth, he even managed to work as a mechanic at a factory. But after the army, the guy rebelled: against the will of his parents, he went to enter a theater university. And even the fact that he was refused (they thought that his appearance was not suitable for cinema) did not discourage him from associating his future life with cinema and theater.

Valery Borisovich Garkalin became a student at the Gnessin School and even got into the experimental group of the Faculty of Pop Art, where Leonid Khait and Sergei Obraztsov were teachers.

In 1978, Valery Garkalin graduated from "Gnesinka" and immediately pulled out a lucky ticket: Garkalin's acting biography began under the strict guidance of teacher Leonid Khait. The teacher formed a group of the theater "People and Dolls" from his own students. The team, assigned to the Kemerovo Philharmonic, toured the country for 6 years and managed to become popular.

Valery Garkalin, whose creative biography started at the Khait Theater, now had every chance to conquer the capital. The young artist returned to Moscow, easily entered the Moscow theater of the second Gnesinka teacher Sergei Obraztsov and soon even became a student at GITIS. And now no one dared to make comments about his appearance.

It is noteworthy that Valery Garkalin answered the question of nationality only later, after the release of the hit "Shirley-Myrli". The actor said that he is not a Jew or a gypsy, as many believe, but a Belarusian. But he feels himself out of nationality, since all people are children of the planet.

Theater


In 1988 Valery Garkalin graduated from GITIS and was admitted to the Theater of Satire. And even if at first the theater director Valentin Pluchek could not decide which genre it is better to attract an actor with such a non-standard appearance, after several brilliantly played roles, Valery Garkalin became the leading artist of the theater. Moreover, it is diverse. He was successful both in avant-garde productions and comedies and in the classical role.

So, Valery Garkalin, whose biography made a new brilliant turn in the Pluchek theater, proved the correct choice to his parents and became famous in the capital. In the same years he was involved in the performances of the theater-studio "Man".

Valery Borisovich played many brilliant roles in cinema. But at the same time, he himself considered cinema as something secondary, and theater as the main one.

Over time, the actor began to play less and less on stage - his health condition does not allow. Most often he appears in entreprise. In addition, Valery Garkalin teaches at GITIS at the Variety Faculty. As it turned out, the artist is a born teacher. He is a professor at the Russian University of Theater Arts.

From time to time, it pleases fans by going on the stage. In tandem with Tatyana Vasilyeva, he presented to the audience the play "Boomerang", in which he played a man who has achieved everything in life, but suffers from loneliness. To rectify the situation, he bought himself a family - a wife and daughter, which portrayed comfort and family idyll. Vasilyeva played the wife.

Theatergoers honor Valery Garkalin for his brilliantly played Hamlet. Several more performances are named in which the artist's skill was revealed especially brightly, showing new facets of talent. These are the productions of The Inspector General, The Threepenny Opera, The Taming of the Shrew, The Kid in Milk and Schizophrenia, As It Was Said. Each of the works in these productions is a reason for Valery Borisovich's pride.

Movies


Valery Garkalin began acting in films in 1989. The actor's brilliant film debut was the crime film by Sergei Bodrov Sr. "Katala". It is noteworthy that the first work in cinema was successful: the artist got the main character - he played the hero Alexei Grekov, nicknamed the Greek, who decides to commit a crime to save his beloved woman. Elena Safonova and Viktor Pavlov also appeared in the film.

And soon, in 1991, fans of Garkalin's talent, outwardly surprisingly similar to Jeremy Irons, received two more gifts: the films "Tsar Ivan the Terrible" and "Amulet" were released.

This was followed by a brilliant work in the painting "White Clothes". The hero of Garkalin is the biologist Dezhkin, who entered into an unequal confrontation with the regime of Joseph Stalin. This work is recognized as the best role of Valery Borisovich.

And yet Valery Garkalin became truly famous after the release of the comedy film "Shirley-Myrli" by Vladimir Menshov. Garkalin played several characters in the film at once. At first, the director doubted the choice of the main character, but Valery managed to convince the director and brilliantly cope with the work, which was later recognized by film critics of the All-Russian Film Festival "Kinoshock". In the film, a star cast was selected, which included Vera Alentova, Inna Churikova, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, Igor Ugolnikov, Sergei Batalov, Rolan Bykov, Leonid Kuravlev and others.

Added fame and his images in the television series "Dossier of Detective Dubrovsky", the comedy "Silver Lily of the Valley" and the film-fairy tale by Eldar Ryazanov "Andersen. Life without love. " In the last project of Eldar Alexandrovich, the actor appeared in the role of Prince Christian, who became the king of Denmark.

There was a period when Valery Garkalin did not act in films. As he explained himself - nothing interesting was offered.

Over time, the actor began to appear on the screens again. The filmography of Valery Garkalin today is 90 diverse roles in full-length feature films and TV series. In the last decade, viewers have seen him on the screen in the series “Zemsky Doctor. Life anew ”,“ Olympic Village ”and“ Svatii ”.

In Irina Gedrovich's comedy New Year's melodrama "Dodo Day" he played a scarecrow, and in the family comedy "Children for Rent" he reincarnated as the grandfather of the young heroine.

In 2008 Valery Garkalin received the title of People's Artist of the Russian Federation.

Personal life


Despite the stormy temperament, Valery Garkalin's personal life is an example of purity and loyalty. He met his future wife while still at Gnesinka. Catherine was older than Valery for a couple of years and worked as a teacher. A feeling flared up between the young people, and they began to meet. Soon they played a wedding at the WTO restaurant, inviting Garkalin's fellow students and youth from the theater.

Later, Ekaterina Garkalina was in charge of the excursion sector of the Obraztsov Puppet Theater. She worked in this position for 30 years.

Spouses Garkalina hand in hand went through many difficulties. At first they had no children. There was a period when Valery Garkalin had problems with alcohol, and his wife Ekaterina suffered before she could overcome her husband's addiction.

Fate rewarded the Garkalins for all their suffering and gave them a daughter, Nick, in the future, a theater producer and art critic at GITIS. And in 2012, Valery Borisovich had a grandson Timofey. Garkalin's son-in-law, Pavel Akimkin, is also an actor.

Valery Garkalin and his wife were so inseparable that they always went on tour and shooting together. They say that the artist was not stopped even by the fact that his wife's trip could cost half or even all of his fee. In joint photos, the Garkalins always looked like a happy and harmonious couple.

Unfortunately, in 2009, Ekaterina Garkalina died. Her health was crippled by her husband's serious illness. In 2008, while on tour in Klaipeda, the actor had a severe heart attack on stage, during which his heart stopped and clinical death was recorded. A few months later, he had a second heart attack, after which he was barely able to return to life. All this Catherine was going through extremely hard, she was diagnosed with cancer. She lived for 57 years.

Valery Garkalin could not come to terms with the departure of the second half. From time to time, as reported by the media, the artist-turned-widower went "all bad".

So, in the spring of 2015, information surfaced that the artist was beaten in the center of Moscow. A fight ensued between the drunk Garkalin and his neighbor. Eyewitnesses called the police and an ambulance. But the actor categorically refused hospitalization. During the fight, his tooth was knocked out and his nose was broken.

In the summer of 2016, they again started talking about the fact that Valery Garkalin was in another alteration. The actor was taken to the emergency room with serious injuries. It was rumored that he was drunk.

Valery Garkalin himself later explained in an interview that everything did not happen as the journalists described. He allegedly stumbled and fell in his house. Doctors diagnosed a bruised chest and abdominal trauma.

As for the personal life of Valery Garkalin today, his departed wife still occupies the main place in his heart. After the actor buried his wife, he was no longer going to marry.

However, after filming in the family comedy "Between Us, Girls", there were rumors about the romance between Valery Garkalin and the leading actress Galina Petrova. It was even rumored that Garkalin married Petrova. Until the last moment, the admirer of the actress did not believe in a romantic relationship between the artists, because the woman did not declare a divorce from her husband, with whom she raised two children.

In the program "Family Album", which was released in 2017, the actors revealed the secret of their personal lives. Even on the set of the series, they felt like family people both in the frame and in life. But fans are still sure that this union is more platonic and creative.

Later Valery Garkalin became a guest of the programs "My Hero" by Tatiana Ustinova and "The Fate of a Man" by Boris Korchevnikov.

Valery Garkalin now


At the beginning of 2018, Valery Garkalin again traveled between life and death. After a cold, the actor began pneumonia, which caused a complication - pulmonary and heart edema. The artist tried not to pay attention to the lingering cough, but after an attack of suffocation, he was taken to the hospital.

The artist stayed unconscious for 2 weeks, after which an artificial coma was needed, since Valery Borisovich's lungs could not cope with the load yet.

After rehabilitation, Garkalin again learned to speak and walk. For several months Valery managed to recover and gain weight. His daughter Nika was on duty with her father every day in the hospital. In the summer, the artist moved to his beloved dacha, where he had long conceived a number of redevelopments for the room of his grandson Timofey.

The state of health did not affect the creative plans of the actor. Now the second season of the series "Between Us Girls" is being prepared for release, and the artist will also appear in the melodrama "Live Your Life".
