The artist might not resist the temptation.
Love triangles are common in acting. Luciena Ovchinnikova also had to go through it, remembered by the audience in the image of Katya from the movie “Girls”.
The artist lived in a civil marriage with the first handsome man of the USSR – Alexander Kholodkov. Beloved worked together at the Theater. Mayakovsky. Another actress served there, who had warm feelings for a colleague in the shop.
Kholodkov might not resist the temptation and reciprocated the sympathy of Vera Orlova. So he exchanged happiness with Ovchinnikova devoted to him for a double life.
Many whispered behind the back of the screen star, not understanding what he found in Vera Markovna, who was clearly inferior to her rival in beauty. Kholodkov might not make the final choice between the two chosen ones. Then his beloved took matters into their own hands.
The actresses did not quarrel, but, on the contrary, became friends. When their beloved man fell ill, they both looked following him, replacing each other. This went on for five years – until the death of the actor in 1965.
