More recently, the talented actress Lyudmila Gurchenko left our world. Unfortunately, the circumstances of her death opened the veil of secrecy over her personal life. The daughter of Lyudmila Gurchenko and the last husband of the great actress could hardly share the inheritance that they inherited. This was not hidden from the eyes of journalists.
However, scandals and investigations revealed a lot in the fate of the daughter of the great actress. We will talk about this today in this article.
Is it hard to be a daughter of a celebrity?
Maria Borisovna Andronikashvili (married to Korolev) today is already a middle-aged woman who has experienced a lot of grief and misfortune in her life. She is the daughter of a talented actress, who knew the whole country, while Maria Borisovna herself is a completely non-public person. She has difficulty giving interviews and is often shy about telling her fate what is hard to say. And journalists often mercilessly misinterpret her words.
It is difficult to be the daughter of a man who gained fame and millions of fans during his lifetime. Maria Borisovna Andronikashvili knows firsthand how difficult this burden is.
But let's start in order ...
Birth and divorce of parents
Little Masha was born back in 1959. At that time, the famous "Carnival Night" had already appeared on the screens of Soviet cinema, in the main role in which her beautiful mother shone.
The father of the daughter of Lyudmila Gurchenko was as young as the actress herself. They met at the university, where Boris Andronikashvili studied at the screenwriting department.
A tumultuous romance ensued, which ended with the wedding and the birth of Masha.
According to Mary herself, mother did not dream about her daughter, but about her son, she wanted to call him Mark in honor of her father. However, a girl was born.
Gurchenko’s relationship with his father wasn’t right away. The thing, rather, is the tough and uncompromising nature of the actress herself. She was always a born leader, and her husband could not come to terms with the role of a supporting player.
By the way, Boris Andronikashvili was the son of a repressed writer Boris Pilnyak, and his mother came from a noble Georgian family. The mother managed to send her son to Georgia before the arrest by the NKVD, where he urgently changed his name, which would help the boy in the future to avoid troubles due to the arrest of his parents.
Hard childhood
From 4 months of life, Masha lived with her grandparents in Kharkov (parents of L. M. Gurchenko). So the parents themselves decided the future star of the Soviet screen, who dreamed that their daughter made a worthy career.
At three years old, the daughter of Lyudmila Gurchenko returned to her mother. However, her life was difficult. The actress herself admitted that she was no mother. She dreamed of a scene, of applause, of filming a movie, everything was subordinate to her work, so the girl lived on her own, often left alone because of her mother’s tours and filming. So Masha almost did not have to find out maternal affection and love.
In addition, she had a chance to survive a series of endless novels by Gurchenko, some of which ended in marriage. In general, she was positive about her stepfathers, and with one of them she was able to make close friends. It was the civil husband of actress Konstantin Cooperweis.
Independent life
However, not everything in Mary’s life was so bad. The missing mother was replaced by a loving grandmother - the mother of Lyudmila Gurchenko. The girl did not study well, but, fearing the wrath of her mother, hid her negative marks from her.
Lyudmila Gurchenko's daughter understood that her mother secretly hopes that she will repeat her starry destiny. But Masha herself did not dream about the scene. She could not become a musician, as Lyudmila Markovna wanted this. On the contrary, Masha entered a medical school and graduated with an average result.
She specially dressed so as not to like her mother, who loved elegance and was charming until the last day of her life. Gurchenko Lyudmila Markovna dyed her hair in light shades, wore stunning dresses and high hairpins, and used makeup. And her daughter aspired to simple clothes (trousers and sweaters), specially changed the color of her hair to aubergine-purple, did not want to resort to cosmetics.
Lyudmila Gurchenko's daughter: personal life, marriage and children
Maria Borisovna got married early. Her chosen one was an ordinary person. Two children were born in the marriage - son Mark and daughter Elena. Weather children were named after the parents of L. M. Gurchenko.
After the birth of her son and daughter, Maria Borisovna left work forever, satisfied with the modest role of a housewife.
Mother, on the one hand, was glad for her grandchildren, but, on the other hand, she wanted to see them as a continuation of herself and her own talents.
Relations between Gurchenko and her son-in-law, who found it difficult to accept his stellar mother-in-law, began to take shape just as difficult.
Lyudmila Gurchenko's daughter testifies that due to the conflict between her mother and husband, their family almost broke up. She and her husband officially divorced and married after some time.
The tragic circumstances of the death of Mark Korolev
In the life of Maria Borisovna, another tragic event happened. In 1998, her older son Mark died from a drug overdose. The mother’s grief was great, it was aggravated by the fact that Maria Borisovna herself waged a long struggle with the illness of her son.
There is a legend that Gurchenko did not come to the funeral of his grandson. However, this is not true, the famous actress was worried about his death, as she linked her hopes with Mark (named after her father). However, at the funeral, the actress tried to be invisible and not attract attention.
The death of her son crippled the health of Maria Borisovna, who generally waved her hand at her appearance and the impression that she made on people.
Aggravation of relations between mother and daughter
The aggravation of relations between mother and daughter occurred due to Gurchenko's new and last marriage. In fact, it was already the sixth union that Lyudmila Markovna Gurchenko concluded. The new husband could not take root with the relatives of his wife. Neither with the mother-in-law, nor with the daughter of Gurchenko, Maria Borisovna.
Housing issues have exacerbated the situation. The fact is that the mother of Lyudmila Markovna, Elena Alexandrovna, dying, bequeathed her apartment not to her daughter, but to her granddaughter. But Lyudmila Markovna could not make such a decision to her mother. A long and difficult trial began between Gurchenko and her daughter, which ended with a division of property.
After the death of Lyudmila Gurchenko
According to Maria Borisovna herself, she found out about the death of her mother from a media outlet. Immediately, journalists became interested in her, who did not really allow to say goodbye to a loved one. The process of sharing property with an unloved stepfather was difficult and painful. Today it is completed. However, peace in the family did not appear.
Maria Borisovna is reluctant to give an interview, although she is still present at some public events in memory of the great actress Gurchenko. Some people, seeing her face aged from life's adversities, mentally wonder: how old is the daughter of Lyudmila Gurchenko? She is now 56 years old.
Lyudmila Markovna did not want to grow old, she was afraid of this and tried to hide her wrinkles in every possible way, her daughter is not afraid of her appearance, perhaps because she is not a great actress, whose name is known to millions of fans.
The fate of Maria Borisovna Koroleva is not an easy one. But she does not complain about her and in her rare interviews she tries not to blame her late mother for anything. Indeed, the fate of Gurchenko is the path of a great woman who dreamed not of maternal calling, but of applause from her fans. Gurchenko got her way. She is remembered by many, but only one of the women on earth can call her the word "mother."
