Lyudmila Shagalova When Lyudmila Shagalova was offered the role of the protagonist’s mother in the film Balzaminov’s Marriage, the actress was only 39 years old. “Do I really look so bad,” she was upset at first. After the release of the film, the audience chose Lyudmila Aleksandrovna as the actress of the year. She left the cinema forever at 65, although she intended to do so at 70. And then she stopped going out altogether.
“We were greeted like heroes, carried in our arms”
She was a student of the famous Sergei Gerasimov and Tamara Makarova. Shagalova’s childhood was not very happy. Mom died when the girl was only two years old. Father, deputy people’s commissar of the tank industry, was repressed. The grandmother took care of the child.
Quite by accident, as a teenager, Luda ended up in the cinema – she played in the film “Seventh Graders”. I just caught the eye of the assistant director just in time.

Received a future screen star and new offers. But the war began. Young Shagalova lived in evacuation in Chelyabinsk and worked there as a security commandant at a defense plant.
When it was time to return, Lyudmila wanted to enter the Institute of Foreign Languages and become a translator. Her fate was decided spontaneously. At the bus stop, the girl stumbled upon an ad: recruitment is underway at VGIK.
She was among the students of Gerasimov, whom he filmed in the Young Guard. Shagalova played one of the main roles – Vali Borts and became a laureate of the Stalin Prize.

Then she recalled: “The audience met us with classmates like real heroes, literally carried them in their arms. At the meeting in Ivanovo, they even lifted the car we got into following the performance!”
She dyed her hair blonde. Many called the actress Lyalya, noting something childishly touching in her appearance and character. There are 54 works in the artist’s filmography.
More than others, the audience remembered “The Tale of Lost Time”, “Where is the Nofelet?”, “True Friends”, “Mustachioed Nanny”, of course, “Balzaminov’s Marriage”.

For the role of Pavla Balzaminova, the actress was given a special age make-up.
“I realized that character roles are not alien to me. This helped me to painlessly move on to older characters, ”admitted Lyudmila Aleksandrovna.
“I almost lost my mind from such impudence!”
Shagalova got married while still at the institute. Vyacheslav Shumsky studied at the camera department. He was seriously wounded at the front. When she first saw her future spouse, Lyudmila thought: “Such a nice guy and is lame.”
It was Shumsky who was behind the camera when “The Dawns Here Are Quiet”, “Three Plus Two”, “We’ll Live Until Monday” and other wonderful films were created. In the late 1980s, he ended his career. Old wounds bothered me more and more.
The couple raised their only son, Gennady. He will also graduate from VGIK, start filming and filming, writing scripts. As an actor, Gennady Shumsky, for example, can be seen as a narrator in The Station Agent.

Lyudmila Alexandrovna planned to retire at the age of 70. She was afraid, due to her age, to look somehow ridiculous on the screen. However, the last films with her participation came out when the actress was 65.
“Let people remember me for worthy roles. I was once offered the role of a crazy old woman spying on copulation. I almost lost my mind from such impudence!” Shagalova was indignant.

“Tried to treat with a laser, but unsuccessfully”
She remained lively no matter what, focusing on her family. There were often friendly companies in the hospitable house. The disease changed everything. The actress lost her sight. All the hardships and sorrows associated with this were shared with Shagalova by a faithful spouse.
“I took over all household chores: I went to the store, cooked, washed, cleaned. Vyacheslav Mikhailovich turned off the TV in the house forever. Since then, they both listened only to the radio, ”said a friend of the actress, journalist Sergei Kapkov.

When Lyudmila Alexandrovna turned 85, she did not hide:
“Just really bad. I don’t talk to anyone other than my family. I have 100% vision loss. Once they tried to treat me with a laser, but unsuccessfully. And now the pressure is on. I lie down all the time, I don’t go out. I breathe through the window.
Shumsky Shagalova survived for a little over a year. She passed away in 2012 at the age of 88. The couple are buried side by side in the capital’s Perepechinsky cemetery.
