    Oleg was born in the city of Lyublino in the Moscow region. The family of his father goes back to the famous linguist, dictionary compiler Vladimir Dal, and the parent of the future actor himself served in railway and held an honorary position. Oleg's mother was a teacher, and in addition to a talented son, the couple raised him older sister IraiduDal grew up as an ordinary mobile boy. After the war (and he was born a month before the Nazi invasion of the USSR), he began to get involved in sports - he played basketball. At one of the classes, the child became ill, after which it turned out that Oleg had congenital heart problems. Doctors immediately forbade him to exercise.

    As a teenager, he became interested in the arts. Oleg was especially fascinated by literature, but also art the ardent young man also did not deprive him of his attention. On schoolwork the boy read "A Hero of Our Time" for the first time. Pechorin impressed him so much that Dahl wanted to become this famous hero himself. Did he know then that in 15 years he would fulfill his dream?!

    After some time, he realized that his fantasy, perhaps, can be realized. For this you need to become an artist! The young man shared his guesses with his parents, but they took his son's plans with hostility, saying that the earnings of people in this profession are too fickle, and besides, Oleg burrs!

    Therefore, he went to act after school, having quarreled with his family. I read Gogol and my adored Lermontov at the entrance to Sliver, and entered the first time. Oleg corrected the natural burr, which had haunted the guy since childhood, by stubborn speech lessons already in the junior years.

    Intellectual


    film "My little brother" (1962)He was one of the most talented students, which is why the Sovremennik artists who came to watch the graduation performance singled him out. Oleg was offered to appear to the chief director (then he was Oleg Efremov), and he took young actor to the troupe.

    Dal quickly joined in, because Sovremennik always promoted its isolation and at a distance felt the natural nobility of the artists. Innate intelligence, subtle features, blue eyes and graceful hands - this is what, in addition to talent, helped the artist get into this particular theater.

    However, for five whole years the actor was trusted only with supporting roles. Galina Volchek showed his dramatic charisma to the entire theatrical Moscow when she staged "At the Bottom" and invited Dahl to play the role of the thief Vaska Pepel.

    He prepared for her in a special way. For long evenings I wandered around Moscow with my partner Alla Pokrovskaya, discussing the subtleties, all the facets of the characters of their characters, and once said that she should play a shy goat.

    Alla was dumbfounded: it was at least strange to hear slang from the lips of such an intellectual. When Oleg began to explain himself, it turned out that he was not going to use slang. Dal really associates the heroine of Alla with this animal, so he asks to endow her with wild, animal manners.

    All life is theater


    film "Chronicle of a dive bomber" (1967)He has always been considered more theatrical than film actor. So changes in his personal life began to happen to him in the theatrical environment.

    Dahl's first significant love was Nina Doroshina. The actress, known to the viewer for one of the main roles in the film "Love and Doves", she played Nadezhda there, the mother of the family, which is at the center of the story.

    Dahl urgently decided to get married. The actress was introduced to the groom's family, the wedding is scheduled. But, according to the memoirs of the actor's sister, Nina disappeared somewhere right at the celebration, and Oleg Efremov disappeared with her.

    There was no doubt: they disappeared together and did not appear for a long time. For half the evening at his own wedding, the actor was alone, until the bride just as suddenly appeared again. Following her, Efremov suddenly showed up in the crowd of guests.

    Oleg did not doubt the betrayal of his beloved and, in revenge, he disappeared somewhere after the wedding for three whole days. After mutual disappearances, the young lived together for another week. Apparently, they did not succeed in clarifying their relationship, because after a week they simply parted.

    Not a walker


    film "Zhenya, Zhenechka and Katyusha" (1967)This incident was one of those that will break the artist and gradually make his character the way Dahl's relatives remember: heavy, inflexible, uncompromising.

    He had already starred in several films and became famous, he was already taking shape as a person with an irrepressible temperament and endless longing in his eyes, who seemed to be eating himself from the inside, as if he himself did not know what he wanted from life when he met his second wife, actress Tatyana Lavrov.

    With her, joint happiness also did not work. He has already begun to show his negative qualities and, little by little, apply to the bottle. She, also a creative and temperamental actress, could not tolerate this, moreover, she herself demanded increased attention. They dispersed quickly.

    There were not many women in the life of Oleg Dal. His friends remember: Dahl was not a walker. And growing up, indeed, rather sought to go home, to the family. Or maybe it was his third wife, Elizaveta Apraskina, whom he met while working on the set of King Lear.

    Happiness in personal life


    k / f "Bad good man» (1973)Lisa worked on the film as an editor. He immediately laid eyes on her, and it was completely impossible to refuse the swift handsome man, in whom, according to the recollections of the actor’s relatives, the masculine principle was always felt.

    After the wedding, the young people settled with Lisa - they lived with her mother in a very small apartment, and only much later the family received their own, more spacious housing. There is a whole story to this as well.

    According to the actor's widow, when he came home, he never started a conversation until he cleaned his shoes, he had such a fad. So on this day, he rubbed them with special care, and then said: “We are going to see a new apartment. Here's the warrant."

    The house where Dal brought his wife and mother-in-law was built for senior military officials. The apartments are huge, the windows - on the Kremlin, the district - you will admire. When the family first entered Oleg's last residence, the rooms were flooded with midday sun.

    Dahl's wife noted: new apartment he became the best family man. Then he was already really drinking deeply, but even drunk, robbed to the skin by street hooligans or drinking companions (sometimes he came without shoes, without outerwear), late at night and early in the morning, always went home.

    Was he happy? In any case, with his Lisa, he is much happier than at other periods of his life.

    Went to die


    k / f "Shadow" (1971) Nervous and explosive, talented Dal was always as if broken somewhere deep inside, but most of all his Pechorin alienation, a sense of the meaninglessness of life began to manifest itself after the death of Vladimir Vysotsky.

    It was at the funeral that he predicted his own death: "I'm next," the actor said, laughing hysterically.

    They had a difficult relationship, but after the funeral of the great actor and musician, Dahl seemed to understand how close death was walking next to life. This thought changed him before his eyes. The eternal theatrical definition: "he is sick with a mania for perfection" now began to look like a real diagnosis.

    Oleg Ivanovich became more demanding of others, but he always tried to achieve the highest result from himself.

    After another binge, Dahl agreed to "sew in a torpedo" - to encode from alcoholism in the then accepted way. He was on tour in Kyiv, when, leaving a table in a restaurant, he explained: "I'll go to my place to die." The actors with whom Dahl toured decided that this was another portion of black humor from the maestro. Connect with us.

    On May 25, 1941, an addition happened in the family of railway engineer Ivan Zinovievich Dahl: his wife Pavel Petrovna gave him a son. One of the relatives complained: “I was born in May, therefore, I will toil all my life.” They did not attach importance to words - they talk empty! The boy was named Oleg ...



    Like every boy post-war years, Oleg dreamed of the heroic profession of a pilot or sailor. Dreams were not destined to come true: the boy broke his heart while playing basketball, and without good health there was nothing to think about the sky or the sea. Then he was fascinated by art - poetry, painting ... After reading Lermontov's "Hero of Our Time", he decided to become an actor in order to play someday " extra person". And after some 15 years, he had the opportunity to live the life of Grigory Pechorin in the frame.

    Oleg's decision to enter the Shchepkin Theater School was accepted by the family with hostility. Well, is it a profession - an actor? Whether it's a driver or at least a librarian. In addition, the boy burred: what, apart from shame, awaited him at the exam? The entrant wanted shame the least of all, therefore, in an urgent time frame, he corrected the defect of speech and conquered admission committee. At first, he made Nozdryov laugh to tears with a monologue from Gogol's "Dead Souls", then again he moved him to tears with an excerpt from "Mtsyra". How without the adored Lermontov?

    Movie

    Dahl's first screen work was the film "My Little Brother", where he brilliantly embodied the image of the young intellectual Alik Kramer. Andrey Mironov and Alexander Zbruev first "lit up" there. After the release of the picture, Dahl was showered with offers to act, most of which he rejected - a paradoxical behavior for young artist. But such a nature: if he did not feel the role of “his own”, he did not agree to play.

    In the mid-60s, the Soviet audience saw the films Zhenya, Zhenechka and Katyusha and The Chronicle of a Dive Bomber. And that's all - Oleg Dal became an idol. How could anyone be left indifferent by these children's eyes with hidden torment? A year later, he starred in kind and mischievous films - "The Old, Old Tale" and "How Ivan the Fool went for a miracle", demonstrating other facets of his talent ...

    Alas, Oleg Dal was not destined to find "his" director, although in 1969 he was closer than ever to this. Grigory Kozintsev invited the actor to play the role of the Jester in the film "King Lear". The director interpreted the image of the Jester in his own way: “A boy with a shaved head. Art under tyranny. A child from Auschwitz who is forced to play the violin in the band of suicide bombers; they beat him so that he chooses more cheerful motives. Dahl suited Kozintsev perfectly. His Jester did not entertain, he reopened wounds. When "King Lear" appeared on the wide screen, the success was huge - the film won prizes at festivals in Chicago, Tehran, Milan. In May 1973, Kozintsev died ...

    Best of the day

    Dahl could play much more than he played. He simply could not afford roles that were not in tune with his worldview.

    Theater

    Dal could not get along in any theater, although he had many memorable roles in Sovremennik, and in the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya, and in Maly. The reason for the "throwing" was the same creative lack of implementation. During the period of terry stagnation in the kingdom of Melpomene, opportunistic productions dominated: it was not worth even dreaming about the sharpness and social relevance of the plays. It was necessary to survive just to survive the "epoch of sleep", but the actor did not recognize compromises. He broke down, clashed with colleagues, went into drinking binges ...

    And yet the directors loved working with Dahl. When creating images, his soul was a fine jewelry tool. Extremely flexible and internally very mobile, Dahl could play in one performance in completely different rhythms. This was understood and appreciated by the head of Sovremennik, Oleg Efremov, and Galina Volchek, who took the helm after him. And then he left, then he returned ...

    Women

    Dal attracted women like a magnet. “On the set of any film, half of the group - from assistants to prims - was in love with Oleg,” Lyubov Polishchuk recalled. Not to mention the fans who followed their idol on the heels. The increased female attention, to put it mildly, annoyed the actor. He walked the streets, raising his collar high, “crowning” his head with a cap and pulling it into his shoulders - just to sneak past the ubiquitous fanatical young ladies like a shadow. Once the director Yevgeny Tatarsky went to Dahl's hotel room and was stunned: wet clothes were hung everywhere. To a reasonable question: “Oleg, what happened?” followed by a startling response:

    “Yes, I was walking along the embankment, some women attacked me. They shout: “Oh, Oleg Dal, Oleg Dal!” I jumped into the sea, swam out near the hotel and went ... "

    Wives

    In Sovremennik, Dahl met actress Nina Doroshina. He was not embarrassed that Doroshina was seven years older and madly in love with another Oleg - Efremov. "Will be my wife!" Dahl decided. And so it happened, but that's bad luck - the marriage lasted only one day. Efremov showed up at the wedding and, congratulating the newlyweds, sat Doroshina on his knees with the words: “But you love me, lapula, after all!” A piquant scene took place in front of the newly-made spouse. Dal immediately left own wedding and disappeared for two weeks...

    The second time he tried to find family happiness in marriage with actress Tatyana Lavrova. The union lasted two years, then a divorce followed. All idle questions about the reasons for the breakup were only once honored with the answer: “She is evil” - and not a word more.

    Oleg Dal met his third wife, Elizaveta Eikhenbaum, on the set of King Lear. Future spouse she worked as an editor and rushed about with the actor like a nanny: she made sure that she was not tired or hungry. Together they lived for 10 years ... It all ended on December 31, 1980. Elizabeth was waiting for her husband at the entrance on the stairs. When the elevator opened, Dahl just fell out of it - he was so drunk. The actor's addiction to the "green serpent" has previously become the cause of discord between the spouses. Oleg coded, returned to work, she forgave and hoped. New Year's Eve Surprise last straw in her patience.

    outrageous

    Few could compare with Dahl in terms of extravagant antics. As they say, don't feed him bread, let him be the center of attention once again. Once, during filming on the Black Sea, the entire troupe was sunbathing on the beach. Suddenly, as if on cue, the people turned their heads towards the hotel: Oleg was standing on the threshold. A real dandy - dressed in a breathtaking denim suit, while on his feet - thick woolen socks and slippers. Eyewitnesses looked in amazement precisely at the “lower floor”: the comrade was not dressed according to etiquette, and not according to the weather. What did Dahl do? He went to the sea, carefully took off his frivolous shoes and socks, and went into the water right in his suit. The beach is frozen. Dal swam with pleasure, then "moored", put on his slippers and, waving his socks, defiled to the hotel.

    Child

    The actor was madly in love with children and dreamed of them, but he never had a chance to become a father. A year before his death, Dahl came to an astrologer, then still unknown, Pavel Globa. The visitor asked, "Can I still have children?" And I heard something disappointing: in such a stellar scenario, the appearance of heirs is unlikely. Dahl grew gloomy and since then more and more often started talking about the meaninglessness of life. Later, the astrologer suggested that Dahl left behind something else besides the roles played: “I think he suspected that he had a child. And I guess not without reason. Some fan could well give birth from him ... Perhaps the Dahl family did not stop. It is worth emphasizing that this is nothing more than an assumption: apparently, bigger star The Globe was not told.

    Death

    Dal drank. Colleagues in the theater and cinema knew about the addiction. And all as one justified: I was not an alcoholic! He was a man of high tension - when everything was burning inside, I wanted to somehow relax. And he clutched at a means that for a while gives harmony ...

    Shortly before his death, the actor became very close to Vladimir Vysotsky. When the legendary bard died, Dahl kept saying: "Well, now it's my turn." On the birthday of a late friend - January 25, 1981, the actor said to his wife in the morning: “I dreamed of Volodya. He is calling me."

    In the same year, on March 3, death overtook him in a hotel room in a Kyiv hotel. Dahl uttered the mysterious phrase: "I'll go to my place to die." Those who heard it considered the words another gloomy joke of Dahl and did not pay attention. And he went up to the room and poured himself a bottle of vodka. At that time, the actor was once again coded, so the dose of alcohol turned out to be fatal - Oleg Dal died from an internal hemorrhage ... The hotel workers who discovered him in the morning said that Dal had such an expression on his face, as if his old dream had come true.

    Once at a concert, the entertainer made a mistake when he named Oleg Dal people's artist. He chuckled: "I'm not folk, I'm foreign." Oleg Dal had no titles and awards, was not a laureate. He was an Artist...

    The last wife of Oleg Dal, Elizaveta Eikhenbaum (née Apraksina), was born in 1937 (died in 2003). She was the granddaughter of the famous Leningrad literary scholar Boris Mikhailovich Eikhenbaum, she lived in the same house with Anna Akhmatova. Mom Olga Borisovna Apraksina (1912-1999), was the wife of theater artist Alexei Apraksin (1901-1941). Lisa's father died of starvation in besieged Leningrad.

    Acquaintance and future husband and life with a great actor

    Elizaveta Eikhenbaum met her future husband on August 19, 1969 in a restaurant in the city of Narva, where she celebrated her 32nd birthday. It was during the filming of King Lear. famous director Grigory Mikhailovich Kozintsev. The great master was a friend of her grandfather, was a member of the family, so the communication of the young woman with the director on the set was quite free. Lisa then worked as an assistant editor, and rushed around with the actor like a nanny: fed, made sure that he did not get tired. But they had no romance on King Lear. It's just that Lisa, laughing, invited Oleg to her place in Leningrad. And he arrived ... But not quite on time. Just at this time, Elizabeth met with Sergei Dovlatov, then still serving as a secretary at famous writer Vera Panova. That evening he was at Liza's house. Oleg called and asked if he could come. And the two men spent the whole evening trying to win the favor of their beloved woman. And she called Oleg into the hallway, suggested that he now leave with Sergei, and then return afterward. He did not like it terribly, he did not like and did not know how to cheat. But he came ... And early in the morning he had to urgently go to the airport - he flew off for the next tour ... Before leaving, Oleg asked to wake up Liza's mother, and said that he wanted to ask her for Lisa's hand. It was in May 1970, and on November 27 of the same year they officially became husband and wife. Lisa said that she was not going to change her last name, but in the registry office Oleg looked at her so sternly and shone all over, like Small child when she paused and agreed to become Dahl...

    She tried to please him in everything, there was always perfect order in their house, because Oleg was extremely pedantic. Before the wedding, Elizabeth never took care of the house, and after that she became an ideal hostess.

    Women's patience is not enough

    They lived together for 10 years ... And it all ended on December 31, 1980. Lisa was waiting for her husband at the entrance on the stairs. And when the elevator opened, Oleg just fell out of it - he was so drunk. addiction famous actor to alcohol and earlier became the cause of marital discord. It’s even strange, Oleg, like Liza, hated feasts, he had no friends. But, nevertheless, people constantly gathered in their house, drank, complained to each other about their problems, not understanding how and how to help. Liza put a mug behind the flower and poured everything that was poured into it, and the rest drank, the mug was filled more than once during the evening. Dahl was coded, went headlong into work, she always forgave, loved and hoped. But that New Year's "surprise" turned out to be the very last straw in the cup of her female patience.

    She never married again. The money accumulated with Oleg quickly ran out. year of the widow famous actor lived with her mother and mother-in-law on their two pensions. I couldn't find a job in my specialty. But she still managed to get a job at Soyuzsportfilm. The years of a long break had taken their toll, and Elizaveta Dahl's habitual craft had to be mastered anew - then an improved, 16-mm film appeared at the studio. But in less than a year she could head the sound editing department.

    Last years brought her many trials: in 1999, her mother passed away - the most close person, then had to endure clinical death. But the main pain remained there, twenty years ago, when they buried Him, and with it that Lisa, who had been with him for 10 years. “Now I’m not thinking about myself, but about Lisa and Oleg. He made me, but he also took me.” (E. Dahl)

    Oleg Dal was one of the brightest and most controversial figures in the Soviet theater and cinema.

    This man was very thin and vulnerable, even sometimes cocky. But he was forgiven a lot: harshness, maximalism, and sometimes drunkenness. He could start rehearsing, and then, deciding that the film or performance was not good enough, take and refuse the role. Those around him understood that he was not like everyone else. He has his own way, his own road, which constantly winds between heaven and hell.

    Biography, personal life, career, everything that concerned this person, of course, has an insanely bright character.

    The decision to enter the theater, or Speech Defect

    Was born future artist in 1941 on May 25 in a Russian family. As a child, Oleg Ivanovich dreamed of being a pilot, but to enter aviation institute couldn't. And then I decided: if they don’t take me as a pilot, I will become an artist. When the parents found out about this, a scandal began. All relatives on my mother's side are hereditary teachers and philologists. Oleg's father is a railway engineer, a party man.

    How could they then guess what famous artist will be Oleg Dal. Biography, nationality and other facts from life famous people very often studied by experts. And there is evidence that, according to some sources, Oleg Ivanovich is the great-grandson of the famous compiler of the dictionary. It is quite natural that the parents considered the stage a frivolous occupation for their son. In addition, Dahl had a speech impediment, he burred from childhood. But he constantly tried to overcome it. He was engaged in the central house of children of railway workers in the studio of the artistic word. As a result of this, his unusual manner of speech, the structure of phrases, and pauses were born. The way a specialist pronounces words, thinking a little, he was taught by a specialist.

    This is how the artist Oleg Dal is born, whose biography will now be connected only with theater and cinematographic art.

    Graduation and the beginning of a creative path

    After graduating from the Shchepkin College, Oleg Ivanovich ends up in Sovremennik. At that time it was one of the most famous theaters in the country. Then it seemed that Dahl pulled out a lucky ticket. But work in the theater, unfortunately, does not add up. Oleg feels that he is capable of much, he is constantly waiting in the wings, but five years have already passed. for long years, and he never had a single serious role in Sovremennik.

    I had to learn only some hasty introductory roles, when the text was given in the morning, and by the evening the performance was staged. And not a single serious character. Thus, over a long period, the actor has accumulated not only great amount unspent energy, but also resentment.

    Oleg Dal was a very quick-tempered person. His biography includes many stories of his relatives and friends, who characterize him as a rather emotional person. The same thing happened this time, Oleg Ivanovich left the theater, slamming the door.

    Salvation in cinema

    When there were no serious roles in the theater, cinematography saved him. Shooting of the film "Zhenya, Zhenechka and Katyusha" began in 1966 in Peterhof. The center of the team was two actors - Oleg Dal and Mikhail Mikhailovich Kokshenov. Both are young, ambitious and completely different. When they were together film set and began to joke, no one around could not help laughing.


    Sometimes, after the end of the working day, the artists forgot to hand over their ammunition to the dresser. They were so used to fighting that they continued to play war even after the camera had turned off. Mikhail Mikhailovich Kokshenov himself often recalls how at that time they wandered around the city in uniform and were stopped by a patrol, asking where they were from.

    Problems of character, or Filming under police escort

    But what was Oleg Dal really like? Biography, personal life, which tormented the actor - all this interested people only after his death. And then on the set, Oleg Ivanovich was the ringleader, and no one knows what is going on in his soul. Numerous problems that overwhelmed the soul of the actor began to be expressed in binges. The director often deliberately places him with his back to the camera. Oleg Ivanovich's face swells from drinking the day before, his eyes become cloudy.

    And yet, he was forgiven everything. In the midst of filming, Oleg Dal again went into a binge. Moreover, he ended up in the police and received fifteen days for violating public order. Director Vladimir Motyl understood that filming was under threat. In order not to disrupt the schedule, he agrees with the head of the police department and Oleg Ivanovich is brought to the site under escort, and taken away again in the evening.

    That dialogue, when the hero Dalia Kolyshkin talked with Zhenya, sitting in the guardhouse, was filmed during this period. Perhaps that is why it is played so touchingly and authentically. Such was the actor Oleg Dal.

    The biography, personal life, filmography of this person, of course, had a very vivid character. And there is hardly a reader whom this personality will leave indifferent.

    The end of filming a popular film, or How life turns into hell

    Oleg Dal did not like much in the world around him, and he did not know who to express his dissatisfaction with and from this he was constantly nervous and turned on. With rudeness, mediocrity and narrow-mindedness, Oleg Ivanovich sorted things out with his fists. I had to fight not only in life, but also on the screen. The most famous hand-to-hand scene in the film "Zhenya, Zhenechka and Katyusha" unfolded in the dugout. Dahl this film brought unprecedented popularity. True, the artist did not have time to enjoy it. For thirty years this painting was banned. And the wording is quite simple. The film is immoral, and the main characters are drunkards and hooligans.


    After filming this movie, Dahl's life turned into a real hell. All film studios in the country were forbidden to shoot this artist and generally forget who Oleg Dal was.

    His biography does contain information that at that time he was on the black list of objectionable artists. But times are changing, and today this film is shown on every Victory Day.

    A new twist of fate, or the unspoken order of the leadership

    Dal was universal. He could play the Shadow in a children's fairy tale, create the image of a scout, a repeat offender, and even a prince. Oleg Dal was infinitely talented. The biography of this artist, starting in 1978, finally tells about some positive moments in his fate. This year, Evgeny Tatarsky begins work on the film "The Travels of Prince Florizel". The director is sure leading role Oleg should play in this picture. But it was almost impossible to approve Dahl's candidacy at the film studio. For all Mosfilm officials, Oleg Ivanovich is persona non grata. Too picky, capricious, arrogant.

    Other actors are happy with any offer, and Dahl refused to work with Kazakov, Ryazanov, Gaidai. In the late 1970s, the film studio began to operate unspoken order guide, which read: for three years, Oleg Ivanovich Dal should not be filmed anywhere.

    The director's persistence and the start of filming

    Tatarsky refused to work without Dahl. As a result, the director was given the go-ahead, but they warned that Oleg Ivanovich was an uncontrollable, inadequate and heavy drinker artist. The scandal erupted on the very first day of shooting during the fitting of the suit. In order to fit the jacket, selected in the props, onto Dahl's figure, the suit was chipped off at the back with pins. For Oleg Ivanovich, who is used to looking great, it was a shock. And he refused to play in an old suit that did not fit.

    Dahl believed that the prince should look like that the audience, having seen him on TV, the next day they began to dress the same way as he did. So Prince Florizel on the screen becomes the height of elegance, and Oleg Dal on the set - the pinnacle of professionalism.

    Everyone who starred next to him knew that the actor was constantly improvising. He is an unpredictable artist. Filming ended in 1979. The audience saw the picture two years later. Finally, Dahl was happy. At that time, Mosfilm had five films with his participation, and everything was banned. He understood: the fact that Florizel came out is a miracle.

    Television, radio and newspapers attacked Oleg Ivanovich, he liked it. He enjoyed giving interviews. And journalists were interested in absolutely everything. What is he - Oleg Dal, biography, personal life, children and further plans in cinema.

    Pleasant appearance and unbearable character

    Eyes, smile, strong-willed gait, unique manner of speaking. All this attracted girls like a magnet. On the set, half of the group was in love with him, from the dressers to the actresses themselves. Fans on the street did not give Oleg a pass. So who was the lucky one chosen by Oleg Dal?

    Many people loved Oleg Ivanovich Dal, but for a long time he could not find his other half. The personal life of the artist did not develop. The affair with actress Nina Doroshina ended right at the wedding. With his second wife, actress Tatyana Lavrova, Dal lived a little more than six months. It was almost impossible to bear the character of Oleg.

    Oleg Dal: wife, or in search of personal happiness

    It seemed that Dahl had no chance of personal happiness. But on the set of the film "King Lear" there was a meeting that changed his whole life. On August 19, 1969, Oleg Ivanovich met Lisa Eichenbaum. She worked as an editor on the picture. And soon they got married. Introducing her to his colleagues, Dahl always spoke proudly and significantly.

    Elizabeth was also very kind to her husband. She always made sure he wasn't tired, hungry, or cold. Oleg Ivanovich always took his wife with him to the shooting. These relationships were very tender. This woman was the only one who could find an approach to the most talented actor with an unbearable character.

    Unfulfilled hopes

    Good artists are often compared to children. In the case of Oleg Ivanovich, this best definition. After all, it was almost impossible to outplay Dahl, as well as outplay a child. Shooting the film "Vacation in September" began in 1977. When Dahl learned that Lenfilm was preparing this film based on Vampilov's play Duck Hunt, he immediately realized that he would be offered the lead role. Naturally, he was waiting for a call. With the approval of the roles, Melnikov pulled to the last. When permission to shoot was received, I called Oleg Dal. The actor worked in this film selflessly, and this became one of his best roles. However, the finished picture was not allowed to be rented, it was called decadent and put on the shelf for eight years.Another shock that Oleg Dal experienced.

    Biography, the cause of death of any favorite actor is always of interest to many admirers of the talents of Soviet cinema. And very often one can meet in the fate of artists of that generation such a dismissive attitude of officials towards their talent. Of course, this has always had a negative impact not only on psychological state actors, but often undermined health. The premiere of the film "Vacation in September" took place only in 1987, when Oleg Ivanovich was no longer alive.

    The last days of the artist's work

    What else interests those who know and love such an artist as Oleg Dal? "Uninvited friend" - latest work Oleg Ivanovich. During filming, Vladimir Vysotsky passes away. For Dahl, this became a sign. He understood that with Vladimir Semenovich they were on the same path. Together they worked on the set of the film "Bad and Good Man", even then Vysotsky warned Oleg Ivanovich more than once against frequent drinking.

    In 1981, Oleg Dal was offered to star in a lyrical comedy. He goes to Kyiv. On the eve of their departure, their last conversation with Yevgeny Tatarsky took place, in which Oleg Ivanovich mentioned how often he dreams of Vladimir Vysotsky and calls to him. On March 1, Dal left for the capital of Ukraine, and on the 3rd of the same month he was gone.

    They say you can't light a candle from both ends. It then ends too quickly. Oleg Ivanovich burned his candle mercilessly and did it consciously. I tore my heart into pieces, and it could not stand it. Oleg Dal passed away. Biography, children who could still have this wonderful person, further creativity and much more, which Oleg Ivanovich was capable of, as if frozen in this moment. He passed away at thirty-nine, but for those who were close to him, who review films with his participation, he is alive today.

    In March 1981, rumors spread around Moscow: Oleg Dal committed suicide in Kyiv. The death of the most popular and young - only 39 years old! - the actor was a shock to everyone. A couple of days later, they found out that there was no suicide - Dahl's heart failed. The employees of the Kyiv hotel, in the room of which the actor's body was found, later said that an expression of some kind of bliss froze on Dahl's face. As if he finally achieved what he dreamed of.

    Dahl did talk a lot about death. When Vladimir Vysotsky died in the 80th year, with whom he was connected not only by friendship, but rather by mutual worship of each other's talent, Dal dropped at the funeral: “I will be next.” He uttered the same terrible phrase when he was given a dressing room at the Maly Theater, which belonged to the recently deceased actor Alexei Eybozhenko. Even on the last day of his earthly life, he said to the actor Leonid Markov, with whom he starred in the same film: “Well, I went to my room. Die". He seemed to be calling death. And she answered his call.

    often Dahl refused obviously winning roles. So, at one time he rejected the offer of Eldar Ryazanov to play Zhenya Lukashin in The Irony of Fate, and Alexander Mitte refused to play the main role in the then cult film The Crew

    In general, Oleg Dal had an enviable acting fate. Despite the fact that he was rarely filmed in films, and in the theater he played only half a percent of what he could and should have played, all Dahl's works were, as they say, "selected". And for none of them, as his wife Liza said, he was never ashamed. He starred in hardly five dozen films.

    But at the same time, Dahl's name is familiar even to those who were born years after his departure. For some, he forever remained a dandy from the comedy “It can’t be!”, For someone, a soldier from “Old, old fairy tale”, for someone - the prince from the Adventures of Prince Florizel. He is remembered. Isn't this a dream for everyone who has devoted his life to acting?

    By the way, as a child, Oleg Dal did not even think that he would go to the theater. His dream was to become a pilot. But heart problems did not allow him to fulfill the cherished dream. He could not win his own heart. But he managed to overcome another, seemingly fatal defect for the stage - he burr. Dahl himself was engaged in speech and as a result began to speak in such a way that no one could have thought that this guy had once burred.

    Popularity brought him the very first film in which he starred - "My Little Brother" based on the famous story by Vasily Aksyonov "Star Ticket". But the fateful film for Dahl was The First Trolleybus, on the set of which he fell in love for the first time. The chosen one of the actor was Nina Doroshina, with whom Dahl served in the Sovremennik Theater.

    Doroshina was seven years older than Oleg and least of all could imagine how these shootings would end for her. She loved the head of Sovremennik Oleg Efremov, and it was about him that all her thoughts were. Efremov promised to come to Odessa to shoot, and Doroshina was waiting for him every day. But Oleg Nikolaevich didn't come for some reason.

    One day Nina went to swim and suddenly felt that she was drowning. At that moment, she thought that the one who saves her will become her husband. This man turned out to be Oleg Dal, who was resting right there on the shore. When they returned to Moscow, the only ones in their almost family budget 15 rubles bought one wedding ring, which was decided to give Oleg. In their couple, it was the groom who dreamed of a wedding.

    On this topic

    The bride, on the contrary, did everything to prevent the marriage from taking place. Doroshina came up with all sorts of excuses to cancel the celebration. She said that she joined a cooperative and would be able to get an apartment only if she was not married. In those days, there really were rules that were wild for today's person, and the excuse of the actress sounded very convincing. But Dahl still didn't believe it. Because I knew what was the real reason their failed wedding. This reason even had a name - Oleg Efremov.

    Then the whole theatrical Moscow will discuss the behavior of the artistic director of Sovremennik, who, during the wedding feast - the marriage still took place - put the bride on his knees and said out loud: “Do you still love me, yes, lapula?” Dal, who witnessed this scene, like everyone else, immediately leaves the apartment, and then from Doroshina's life. But her betrayal will not be forgotten. And when, many years later, they find themselves on the same stage in the play "At the Bottom", where Dal played Vaska Pepla, one of his most poignant roles, he threw Doroshina - Vasilisa with such force that she flew backstage. But not a word of reproach escaped her lips...

    Dal was very handsome, his appearance was spoken with aspiration. And his famous corduroy jackets were the talk of the town. It is not surprising that the result of all this was dozens of fans in all the cities of the vast Union. But Dahl himself did not need all this at all. Once he was so tired of the delights of the surrounding girls and their declarations of love that he threw himself from the sidewalk into the sea right in his clothes and swam to the hotel.

    The main woman of his life was destined to be Lisa Apraksina, whom he met on the set of the film "King Lear" directed by Grigory Kozintsev. Coincidentally, the two most important person his fate appeared almost simultaneously. Veliky Kozintsev was, perhaps, the only director who was able to truly understand the scale of Oleg's giftedness. And feel that the price for it will be extremely high. Kozintsev, who could not stand acting late, and even more so the passion for alcohol, Dahl forgave everything. He said: "I feel sorry for him, he is not a tenant."

    Lisa lived with Dahl for 10 years. During this time, she had to experience a lot. The first years Oleg drank severely, and when he quit, he began to vent his discontent on his wife. For several years, a break came in a series of successive binges. Marina Vlady brought a “torpedo” from Paris, which for a couple of years put an end to the libations of Vysotsky and Oleg Dal. But then one of the “friends” blabbed that the “torpedo” was valid for only six months and then you could start over again. And Vysotsky and Dahl broke down again.

    Lisa Apraksina-Dal recalled how on Vysotsky's birthday, January 25, 1981, Oleg went out to breakfast with the words: "I saw Volodya in a dream, he is waiting for me." The wife tried to laugh it off that Vysotsky could wait. But Dahl himself was in a hurry to meet him.

    The material life of the family was also very difficult. There was almost no money. And if there was work in the cinema, then Oleg could easily pay the entire fee on credit, immediately forgetting the name of the person to whom he had just handed a huge amount. Even Dal had to be buried with the money collected by friends - the coffin and wreaths were bought in a clubbing ...

    He certainly knew his worth as an actor. This is evidenced by his diaries, which he kept for the last 10 years of his life. Fencing off from the whole world within the four walls of a small office in an apartment on the Garden Ring, Dahl revealed his soul on the pages of his diary. His notes are sharp, sometimes venomous, the facts hit the nerves, and the chronicle itself is basically quite tragic. Like the life that the author had to drink to the bottom.

    He had almost no job. At Mosfilm, an unspoken ban was imposed on Dahl. The film authorities could not forgive the obstinate actor for regular refusals to shoot. Wherein.

    Dahl could at the last moment actually escape from the theater, where he rehearsed two main roles at once. This is exactly what happened with the plays by Edvard Radzinsky being prepared for production at the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya. It got to the point that the playwright, together with the director of the theater, rushed home to the lead actor. He begged Dahl to return to the theatre. Both performances promised to be a real event, not without reason, during rehearsals, even the illuminators forgot to change the light, all attention was riveted on Oleg. But he didn't come back. Years later, Radzinsky would diagnose him with a mania for perfection. And he will decipher: if Dahl went on stage, he simply could not withstand the level he set himself for a long time. True, Lisa Dahl had a different version: Oleg was on fire with work, and everything around was just smoldering. And this he could neither understand nor forgive.

    Dal himself called the fire on himself. And the first suffered from blows of officials. “They finished me off,” he will say shortly before his death. But most importantly, he never regretted what he did. His idol was Mikhail Lermontov, early death which did not seem strange to him. “In those days, I wouldn’t even have lived to 20,” Dahl said. “I would shoot in a day.”

    It so happened that the film "Vacation in September" based on Vampilov's play "Duck Hunt", in which Dahl played the main role, was released only a few years after the death of the actor. And there was a symbol in it. Dal was no longer among the living. But he again and again came to the houses of his spectators. Like a hero of a lost generation, like Pechorin of the 20th century so beloved by him.
