This girl became the star of Soviet cinema at the age of six. From the very first appearance on the screen, she attracted the eyes of viewers with her spontaneity, loveliness and small, but surprising, absolutely not mounted with her childhood, acting experience. So, Julia Kosmacheva, screen daughter of Nikolai Karachentsov.
"I'm coming to you!"
In the vast majority of cases, children appear on the screen thanks to the efforts of their parents, which lead them to all kinds of castings and meetings with directors. But in the case of Yulia, everything turned out completely wrong: it was the girl who brought her mother to the screen tests, Tatyana Vladimirovna. Just at that time, they were looking for a girl for filming in the movie “Obuz”. The director Glebov, who shot this film, selected the types of little actresses. During the search, he wandered into the Minsk dance studio "Peer." It was there that year, little Julia Kosmacheva danced.
Her mother returned from a business trip and heard from her daughter an invitation to go to the screenings. The girl was not at all afraid of the camera. Perhaps because almost from the cradle she went to the shooting company with her mother, who for many years was in the position of director of the crew on BT: the first time in the children's editorial office, and a little later in the music. The girl already had some experience filming in TV shows, she even led the song contest “Red Carnations” with Zinaida Bondarenko.
Facts from the biography
Little Julia Kosmacheva was born on the second day of March 1976. While still a preschooler, she went on the stage of the Minsk Youth Theater. Behind the young actress there are seven films, voice acting of foreign films and cartoons. Moreover, during the dubbing of one cartoon, Julia Kosmacheva, whose biography is simply perplexing with her tragedy, could speak immediately with three voices that were not alike.
The "burden" in acting baggage
The young actress was approved by the artistic council for this film without any doubt. Cats scratched the soul only with director Glebov, because the role of the unfortunate baby was diametrically opposite to the child himself. The girl has always been cheerful and cheerful. Tears never appeared on a small face.
According to one part of the script, the little heroine was given to a 24-hour kindergarten. She cried bitterly. Mom, worrying how her child will be able to get used to this situation, kept asking the girl how she would cry “on signal”. Kosmacheva Julia during this conversation stood with his back to the turned on camera. So in silence a few minutes passed, after which the baby turned and said: "I am ready." She turned her gaze to the camera, gracefully tilted her head and wept bitterly. A wave of indignation rose in her mother’s chest.
"Uncle the director is wrong!"
During the filming, the director Glebov had to endure petty pranks from the little actress . Once it happened that a young talent locked this adult independent man in a hotel room in the city of Mozyr. The girl motivated her act with the speech that this director commits absolutely wrong actions and actions. As he imagines scenes with her participation, children never do.
Another scandal occurred when Glebov demanded to cut the hair of the young actress. With great difficulty, he managed to dissuade him from this step, and little Julia made a square.
Oh, those dews ...
Since the release of the film "White Dew" more than thirty years have passed. But even today, when modern films are shot, with new ideas and many special effects of the tape, this good old film invariably evokes only warm emotions and impressions. This is the story of one family living for many years in a private house, and then, when the buildings are demolished and the father of the family receives an apartment in a high-rise building, everyone begins a new stage in life.
Julia Kosmacheva, the actress, although young, but talented, also starred in this film. Her role was supposed to be much larger and larger, but the girl at that time was shooting in two more films. Therefore, the director Dobrolyubov reduced several interesting scenes with Galyuny (the character of Kosmacheva).
The film “White Dew” gathered under its wing an amazing team of artists (Galina Polskikh, Vsevolod Sanaev, Boris Novikov, Natalya Khorokhorina, Stanislav Sadalsky) and created a very touching acting duet under their vaults - Nikolai Karachentsov and Julia Kosmacheva. They played dad and beloved daughter. They became friends with the on-screen dad, although their friendship was at a distance. But they called up and told each other their news. Sometimes even managed to meet. Then there was a break of four years. And when they saw each other in Vitebsk at the Slavyansky Bazaar, the grown-up Kosmacheva, Yulia Alexandrovna, was very worried that Pope Kolya would not recognize her. So she ran to him and said: "Hello, dad!" Karachentsov recognized the girl at first sight.
“I want to play Little Red Riding Hood!”
In Odessa, after finishing work on the film “What did Senka have?”, They began preparations for the filming of “Tales of the Old Wizard”. Julia herself asked for the role of Little Red Riding Hood. She looked at the director with pleading eyes and talked about how she wants to play this role, quite adultly motivating it with the fact that she will soon grow up and her dream will never come true. Kosmacheva Julia Alexandrovna still played this role. The girl just radiated with happiness when she was approved for work in the picture. On the one hand, her wish came true, and on the other, she was on the same set with the greatest actors of our time: Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, Igor Kvasha, Sergey Yursky, Evgenia Simonova, Anton Tabakov. And this film was the debut work as a cameraman Denis Evstigneev. The little heroine made friends with Denis. She even used the young man as a horse - sat on his back, and he rolled her.
No matter how strange or unexpected it may seem, but despite the fact that Julia was really a talented girl, she liked the voice acting much more than shooting. In her luggage gathered several cartoons and a decent amount of translated films. Her mother still has a special tenderness for her work, often includes these films and cartoons and enjoys the voice of her daughter who died so early.
People! Hurry to live!
She was always indifferent to the glory pursuing her. She treated the movie as a job, with quite adult seriousness. And she gave all the money she earned to her mother. She was very fond of drawing, especially she was able to draw. All notebooks with her drawings are still kept by her mother.
Julia grew up, and they almost didn’t shoot films in Minsk, the film studio practically didn’t work. Then the girl decided that she would go to journalism. At first she studied as if reluctantly, but a year later she already got a taste.
Kosmacheva often repeated that she was very lucky because she was doing what she loved. Moreover, her life was developing quite well. To her 24 years, she received higher education, got married, gave birth to a daughter and divorced.
15.5 years have passed since the death of Julia, and my mother can not believe it and understand how it happened. It was the most common Saturday day. The family was together in their Minsk apartment. Julia was very cheerful. And in the evening I went to visit a friend who lives in a neighboring apartment.
Mom called at three in the morning with a message about the death of her daughter. Doctors said that the girl died in some 10-15 seconds, and it was impossible to help her. A friend of Julia said that they played board games, and then he went to the store. I was absent for a short time, but when I went into the apartment, Julia had already died. Mom could not understand why and how this happened. Could not commit suicide Julia Kosmacheva. The cause of death, according to one version, was just that. Allegedly, she fell from the balcony when hanging clothes, or fell intentionally.
But there is another option for the development of sad events. Julia Kosmacheva, whose cause of death was never established, died quietly in her friend’s apartment. This whole situation was not only sad, but also incomprehensible, because the girl had a lot of plans. She filmed the pilot episodes of the Radio Point program, and she was again invited to film screenings. And in the diary, which Julia kept, there was not a word that something was bothering her.
The next morning they had to install the program “Capital hit”, in which Julia Kosmacheva worked as a host. But this time the girl did not come. The program went on air with a portrait of Julia.
