In 2005, the telenovela "Doomed to become a star" was released on the Rossiya channel. Actors, little known until this moment, thundered throughout the country as one of the most talented. But the series itself did not have the expected success with the audience. According to reviews, it was clear that the creators stretched it too much, which frightened away most of the viewers.
What was the idea of the telenovela "Doomed to become a star"? Actors, photos of which are captured in our article, remain to this day the focus of attention of the tabloids.
Starring starred:
- Anna Snatkina;
- Armands Neilands-Jaunzems;
- Oleg Soloviev;
- Julia Pozhidaeva.
Today we’ll talk about them. And also revive the memory of the series "Doomed to become a star", whose actors lived a second life on its site.
Forgive me that sometimes I leave without saying goodbye
What was the main storyline shown by the series Doomed to Become a Star? The actors and the roles played by them showed the viewer a modern reading of the Cinderella story. And so we consider not only us, but also many critics.
Zhenya Azarina is a girl orphaned at the age of 2: her mother died, and she simply did not know her father. Her aunt Galya raised her. Eugene sings well and develops his natural gift, singing songs in karaoke on the seafront. It is here that the girl meets her first love - the sailor Nikita.
After a while, the singer Cleopatra arrives in Chernomorsk with a concert, as well as her husband and at the same time producer Nikolsky. Oleg and Zhenya fall in love with each other. Thus begins another fabulous story called "Doomed to become a star." The actors and roles of this cinema novel are selected perfectly. Cleopatra throws Nikolsky and returns to her ex-husband Leonid Salin.
Eugene, whom Oleg promised worldwide fame, escapes from his native coastal city to Moscow. The girl really becomes famous: she wins a prestigious music competition and makes a successful solo career. However, fate soon turns away from Azarina. Having married Nikolsky, she commits a rash act: contrary to the recommendations of doctors, she goes on stage and loses the child she expects.
Life has endowed you with this role: your happiness is mixed with pain
It would seem that the general pain and loss of the child should have rallied the family of Oleg and Zhenya, but the marriage breaks up. Nikolsky does not pay attention to his wife, cheats on her, and after the ruin becomes simply unbearable. They get divorced, and Zhenya returns to his native Chernomorsk.
Here the actors of the film “Doomed to become a star” (Anna Snatkina and Oleg Solovyov) again had to play love between their characters - Eugenia and Nikita. They did it very naturally. Because of what, it becomes even more painful when a young spouse dies at sea a couple of weeks after the marriage.
The heartbroken girl again escapes to the capital, where she begins a solo career, which is developing quite successfully. Before one of the speeches, Eugene learns that Aunt Galya is dead. Despite this, the girl does not cancel the concert.
By the way, the producers planned to remove the sequel. But the second season did not see the series "Doomed to become a star." The actors, as it turned out, reluctantly agreed to this adventure. And the continuation remained in the plans.
Anna Snatkina (Zhenya Azarina) - “Doomed to become a star”
The actors of the series after the end of the season did not know where to go from the number of incoming proposals from producers.
This primarily concerns Anna Snatkina, who played Evgeny Azarin. Having embodied in the role of the provincial Cinderella, Anna finds herself in a world of intrigue, envious people, lies, flattery and disappointments.
The actress herself starred in more than 40 films. After completing the epic about the Black Sea nugget, Anna fell into a creative crisis - in 2008, the girl starred in only one picture.
It can not be said that it was the series "Doomed to become a star" that brought the actress fame. After all, even before his release, the girl starred in very interesting films. Among them are films about the classics Alexander Pushkin (the role of Natalia Goncharova) and the Russian poet Sergei Yesenin (the role of Princess Tatyana).
Now the actress continues to actively act in films, is the face of several cosmetic companies, regularly communicates with the press. In general, leads an active lifestyle that promotes creative and career growth. The girl even tried on herself the image of the Snow Queen in the film of the same name.
Armands Neilands-Jaunzems: O. Nikolsky - producer and husband of Zhenya Azarina
Armands career includes only 20 films. Before the series “Doomed to become a star”, the actors heard little about their colleague, but the role of Oleg Nikolsky became decisive and fateful for him. His career growth and life path stopped still in 2010. Armands Neilands-Jaunzems, who played Oleg Nikolsky, died tragically. It happened near the station Peredelkino, where the actor fell under the wheels of the train.
For Armands, the role of Nikolsky became decisive in his further promotion. After this series, the producers noticed a charismatic, promising, but already far from elderly actor. In 2008, he starred in the film “The Witch Doctor” (the role of Konstantin Razin), and after his death the second part “The Witch Doctor 2: Hunt without Rules” comes out. Before the tragic death, the actor was involved in his filming process.
Oleg Solovyov: Nikita - a fateful plot
Sailor Nikita tragically dies two weeks after marrying Evgeny Azarina.
Paradoxically, two radically opposing heroes fighting for a girl change roles in life. As already mentioned, Armands Neilands-Jaunzems tragically died, and Oleg Solovyov continues to develop in the creative sphere, although not successfully enough.
Oleg admits that the telenovela “Doomed to become a star” became the peak of popularity for him. The actors and roles captured in the series have become fateful for the actor in many ways. It was after this film that they began to recognize him on the street, stop with requests for autographs.
But we can’t say that Oleg is an actor who all the studios want to get. So far, its maximum is one or two films a year.
Julia Pozhidaeva: Larisa - an insidious sister, a seducer
Yulia Pozhidaeva in the series "Doomed to become a star" got a not very pleasant role: she had to seduce Oleg Nikolsky, to woo intrigues against her sister. Fortunately, in life, the actress is the exact opposite of her character.
An interesting fact is that Julia, just like Anna Snatkina, could not find a new role right after the end of the series. Only Pozhidaeva’s creative crisis began a little earlier - in 2007 she starred in only one film, and even that was a continuation of the first season.
This is not to say that the girl is a very popular actress. During the period from 2009 to 2014, she starred in only four films. And far from starring.
The singing roles of the series "Doomed to become a star"
None of the singing characters in the series performed a single song on their own, except for Armandas, but his performance is a little like singing, rather, like reciting words to music.
Theon Dolinikova , star of the musical Metro and Notre Dame de Paris, sings for Zhenya Azarin. For Cleopatra - Lika Rulla, for Violetta - Marina Lizorkina, member of the Formula group. It is noteworthy that among the main characters there was still a professional singer, who, unfortunately, was not assigned a singing role. She was Natalia Gromushkina.
