Then and dozens of years later: how the favorite actors of "Office Romance" have changed and how they live now

Hello dear readers!

I was born much later than the release of this wonderful film by Ryazanov. But to this day, his films are reviewed by all subsequent generations. Some - nostalgic, some just for the sake of a good mood from the last century... They do not bother. With each viewing they grow stronger in the role of classics.

Nowadays, there are few directors who can boast of such love of the audience for their creations. Let's remember together how it was at the beginning, in 1977. What did our favorite heroes look like then, and how have they changed and how do they live now?

I'll start with the brightest actress - the main character, in whose role the whole country fell in love with Alice Freindlich. She was already known at the time of release, but not in the cinema. Ryazanov even spoke about why Freundlich before this film always looked bad in the cinema and the audience did not really notice her. The actress was very attractive to the director, but could not reveal herself on the set. Ryazanov, as a true genius, understood why.

The whole point, he believed, was that Alisa Brunovna was a theater actress who did not know how to reincarnate during the filming of a movie, because movie frames are not shot in order, as in a theater, but in pieces. Either the end with the beginning, then the middle, etc. Ryazanov then for the first time filmed "Office Romance" in order, as in a theater a performance is staged. And everything worked out! And Freundlich's star shone throughout the country! Since then, the overwhelming majority of her roles have been the main ones.

To this day, the people's artist enters the stage of the BDT, last time she acted in films in 2017. Read about her daughter in the article As a mother, but not quite: how Alisa Freundlich's daughter lives and what she does

Freundlich's partner in this comedy was his favorite Andrei Myagkov, who was also not famous at that time, but woke up as an adored hero after the film was released.

Andrei Myagkov is not only an insanely talented theater and film actor, people's artist, but also an equally talented writer, based on whose detective story they even made the film "Gray Gelding". The actor also became known as an artist, painting pictures of famous friends, Galina Volchek, Mikhail Gorbachev ...

Myagkov has not been in films for more than 10 years. His last phrase to the question - why was it like this:

We imitate the Americans so shamelessly! Action, fights, endless action. The cinema has become emotionless, heartless. This is not Russian art. We abandoned it completely. Soviet cinema had its own face, but now they took it, turned the back of its head and painted on it an American physiognomy.

Liya Akhedzhakova played an equally striking role as the secretary of mymry. The actress still, although rarely, but acts in films, enters the theater stage.

Svetala Nemolyaeva, like all previous actors, became famous with the release of "Office Romance". I would like to tell more about this wonderful and unusually gentle, positive actress, in a separate article about their family - their famous husband, son, in one word about their acting dynasty.

Therefore, in this I will say briefly: the actress is still in demand in the profession (in cinema and theater), although her age does not allow her to work in the same mode. Do you miss the heroes of the good old Soviet times?
