Alexander Kaidanovsky: personal life, filmography

Alexander Kaidanovsky - atypical representative of Soviet cinema. His life was full of sharp turns, but at the same time resembled a fast flight, which was interrupted so suddenly that it seemed that in the death of this extraordinary personality there is a certain mysticism.

Childhood

Kaydanovsky Alexander Leonidovich was born in Rostov-on-Don, in an ordinary non-active family. Although there was some relation to culture and art in this house: the mother worked as a director at the club. The boy did not have any theater abilities. The desire to become an actor school friends subsequently received with great surprise.

The desire for change in Alexander was from childhood. After the divorce of his parents, he lived with his mother. Then with the grandmother. Then he moved to his father. But he did not get along with his stepmother. Having spent a lot of time on relatives, he lived a year in boarding school, and after he left his native Rostov and went to seek happiness in Dnepropetrovsk.

His love of freedom and independence he kept for life. The restless nature prevented him from stopping. Alexander was constantly on the lookout. Deciding to get a working profession, he went to enter the Dnepropetrovsk school. But after a year's study, he returned to his native city and entered the Rostov Theater School.

Years of study

Alexander Kaidanovsky did not have a calm temper, which often led to scandals with colleagues, relatives and even random people. The first serious conflict occurred in the student years. The quarrel with the teacher led to the fact that Alexander had to change the teacher. Already in those years the future actor was known among friends and friends as an individual and somewhat selfish. Egoism, however, is inherent in almost all actors. The originality of Alexander subsequently turned into a bright rare talent.

After receiving the diploma, Alexander moved to Moscow and entered the Moscow Art Theater School. But he did not stay here for long, leaving the walls of a prestigious educational institution on his own initiative. Education continued in the school to them. Shchukin, where he also studied without much enthusiasm, peculiar to any provincial youth. In Rostov he was waiting for a girl, a future wife.

Personal life

First wife - Irina Bychkova. The marriage lasted only four years. After the divorce, Alexander Kaidanovsky began a long, painful romance with the exalted actress Valentina Malyavina. As was to be expected, nothing serious came of these relations.

The second wife was Evgenia Simonova. The third one is Natalie Sudakova. The fourth marriage became particularly fleeting. With Inna Pivars Kaidanovsky lived only three weeks, although he carefully prepared for the wedding and even put on a coat on it. Wedding photos were shone.

Similar incidents have occurred more than once, for example, after the death, at a funeral, when not a single photograph was taken. This, perhaps, gave rise to rumors about the mystery of Kaidanovsky.

A few months later he received a role in the film based on the novel of the same name by M. Dostoyevsky "The Gambler".

Somewhere a dreamer and a dreamer, he looked at life through the prism of the ideas of Russian classics. Even in his poorly furnished apartment, he saw not the poverty, but the original style of Dostoevsky.

The peak of creativity was the role in A. Tarkovsky's film "Stalker".

In the nineties, Alexander Kaidanovskiy filmed a little. The reason was not the lack of interest to the directors, but rather the reluctance of the actor to act in a bad movie.
