This actress is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful women in Soviet cinema. She is well remembered by the audience of the older generation. Photos of Natalia Lapina often graced the cover of the Soviet magazine Ekran.
The beginning of creativity
Natalia Lapina was born in Gorky in 1963. She graduated from the shipbuilding college and received the profession of design engineer. Then, the future actress entered the theater school of her hometown. The girl always wanted to break out of the province and see the world, therefore, when she received an invitation from the Theater named after Lensoveta, she happily agreed.
In the late eighties, Natalia Lapina was well known after working in the film "Don Cesar de Bazar".
Work in Germany
After the filming of the film "Rouen Maiden nicknamed Pyshka" Lapina Natalya Azarievna went to work in Germany. There she starred in several films and seriously took up vocals.

Natalia Lapina biography: personal life
In the mid-eighties, a film crew from Moscow shot the feature film “The Life of Klim Samgin” in the actress’s homeland. Filmmakers immediately drew attention to the beautiful first-year student of the theater school Natalya and offered her a role in the film.
On the set of Rouen Maiden, nicknamed Pyshka, where she played a major role, the aspiring actress had a short affair with Alexander Abdulov.
Natalia Lapina, whose photo you see in this article, calls his first love Boris Nemtsov, an unknown employee of the Research Institute of Novgorod, to nobody at that time. Their romance was vivid and full of passions, but, unfortunately, he had no future - both were too young, had nothing for their souls and did not know how their life would turn out tomorrow. Their relationship lasted for many years, and today they are friendly - they often call back, are interested in each other's life.
In Germany, Natalia Lapina - actress and singer - did not live long. Soon she moved to the United States. Here she met a Swede whom she married. A year later, a daughter was born in their family. After a few years, this union broke up. After the divorce, Natalia Lapina met with quite wealthy at that time Soviet athlete Sergei Fedorov. He beautifully looked after the actress, drove to expensive restaurants, invited his team to important matches. But, according to Natalia herself, she was bored with him.
Then Natalia Lapina became close to the star Mickey Rourke. Their relationship went wrong after a man demanded fifty thousand dollars for shooting a clip of his passion.
Seven months later, the actress married a second time. This time, her chosen one was the American Craig, who was twenty years younger than his bride. Life with a young spouse was unsweetened. As it turned out, he was a drug addict who repeatedly beat his wife, raped her and locked her in the room for several days.
Sex symbol
After the film “The Rouen Maiden, nicknamed Pyshka”, many domestic directors began to consider her an actress who has talent and outstanding external data. She could become a sex symbol of the country. But Natalya did not live up to these expectations - she did not seek to use her sex appeal.
