Childhood
Larisa Udovichenko was born on April 29, 1955. Her father was a military doctor, so her birthplace was the capital of Austria, Vienna. Upon returning to the Union and the demobilization of the father, the family settled in Odessa. Larisa's mother, Muza Alekseevna, studied at the Leningrad Institute of Theater, Music and Cinema. Because of the outbreak of the war, she did not have time to graduate from university, but she was able to instill in her daughters a love of art. 
Larisa played in the drama club from a young age, and in the 8th grade, by lucky chance, she ended up in a theater studio at the Odessa Film Studio. She saw an advertisement for recruitment and immediately went to the competition - she always had a fable and a sketch for the performance “at the ready.” As a result, the proactive and lively girl was accepted into classes immediately.
In 1970, director Alexander Pavlovsky came to Odessa to shoot his short film “Happy Kukushkin”. Vladimir Menshov starred in the title role, and his partner was 15-year-old Odessa resident Larisa Udovichenko, whom Pavlovsky “looked after” during the theater studio classes. Many years later, the actress played in two more full-length films directed by the director “To hell with us!” and “Baby by November.”
Acting career
In the 10th grade of school, Larisa received a small role in the film “Yulka”. Her first experience in cinema instilled confidence in her, and the girl entered VGIK on the first attempt, taking the course of Sergei Gerasimov. In 1974, the young student already played in her teacher’s serious drama “Mothers and Daughters” in the company of Innokenty Smoktunovsky and Tamara Makarova. 
Despite being in demand, Udovichenko was not a star of the “first magnitude” before meeting Stanislav Govorukhin. The director was selecting actors for the series “The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed” and saw Larisa in the role of Varya Sinichkina. But, to his surprise, the actress, having read the script, volunteered to play Manka Bond - a vicious and frivolous person.

At Vysotsky’s suggestion, the director approved Udovichenko’s candidacy. She played a small, almost episodic role of a prostitute, so that for many years she became a “Manka Bond” for the public, and for directors a desirable actress for at least the next 10 years.
In the period from the 80s to the 90s, Udovichenko starred in 3-5 films annually. Many of the films with her participation went down in the history of Soviet cinema and are still loved by audiences. It is difficult to confuse her heroines with anyone else - in English, the calm Mrs. Banks from “Mary Poppins”, the simple-minded Valya from “Winter Cherry”, the languid Lyusya Vinogradova from “The Most Charming and Attractive”.
Already at the age of 29, Udovichenko received the title of Honored Artist of the USSR, and at the age of 43 she became the People's Artist of the Russian Federation.
With the beginning of the 90s, stagnation began in the Soviet film industry, but it hardly affected Larisa. It was during this period that she worked in the film “Whom God Will Send” (1994) in a duet with Stanislav Sadalsky, which the actress herself considers her favorite.
With the beginning of the 2000s, a “serial” period began in Udovichenko’s work and mostly simple roles in fairly passable films. One of these roles was the work in the series “Dasha Vasilyeva. Lover of private investigation" based on the novels of Daria Dontsova.

The actress admits that she sometimes works to earn money, which gives good results. She has property in Nice, where she enjoys vacationing.
Personal life of Larisa Udovichenko
When Udovichenko first arrived in the capital, she needed to gain a foothold in Moscow, so she entered into a fictitious marriage with director Alexander Pankratov-Bely (not to be confused with Pankratov-Cherny). He was truly in love with the girl, but she never became his real wife. A divorce soon followed, and Larisa received an assignment to the Moscow Film Actor Theater, but she managed to work in the theater much later. 
Little is known about her second marriage to film director Andrei Eshpai. Their union was short-lived, and the reason for the breakup is considered to be Andrei’s excessive jealousy.
Acquaintance with musician Gennady Bolgarin began as a casual romance. At that time, the man was married, and Larisa did not intend to break up the family, especially since the man already had a child, a son, Maxim. But apparently it was love at first sight. Gennady's first wife soon gave him a divorce. And the happy couple married very quietly, and in 1988 their long-awaited daughter Maria was born.
Larisa Ivanovna Udovichenko was born on April 29, 1955 in Vienna (Austria). The girl’s father was a military medic; when his service abroad was completed, the family moved to Odessa, where Lara and her sister Yana spent their youth. Larisa’s mother had the unusual name Muse; at one time she dreamed of acting, but her dreams did not come true.

The woman even studied at a theater university, but war broke out and she had to say goodbye to her studies. The mother decided to realize all her unfulfilled plans in the person of her talented daughter, so she supported Larisa’s passion for creativity in every possible way.
The girl visited the Odessa film actor’s studio, where she was noticed by the director who was filming the film “Happy Kukushkin” for the role of a schoolgirl. Afterwards there was the film “Yulka”, as well as an episode in another film, which was cut out during editing. But still, whatever one may say, at the time of admission to VGIK, applicant Udovichenko had experience of filming in 3 films, which distinguished her favorably from the mass of other applicants.
Start of a career
In her second year, Larisa starred in the film “Mothers and Daughters”; after graduating from university, she appeared in the films “Tryn-Grass”, “Red and Black”. All-Union fame came to Udovichenko after the film “The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed”; she got a bright and memorable role. Manka-Bond is remembered by everyone who watched the film, and millions viewed it.

It so happened that Larisa Ivanovna did not often receive the main roles, but she sparklingly performed supporting roles. Experts say that in order to be considered the queen of episodic and minor roles, you need to have special talent and bright charisma. After all, in this case, the actor is given a matter of minutes, and sometimes even seconds, to reveal the image.

Women of all ages enthusiastically welcomed the film with Udovichenko’s participation, “The Most Charming and Attractive,” as well as one of the most successful Soviet TV series, “Winter Cherry.” It is impossible to list all the pictures where our heroine shone. These are “Groom from Miami”, “Love in Russian”, the television series “Dasha Vasilyeva” and many others.
Personal life
Larisa's first husband was director Pankratov-Bely. They say that Larisa was inspired to marry her by her creative mentors during her student days. Such a step was supposed to provide the talented Odessa resident with the notorious Moscow registration.
Larisa herself calls director Andrei Eshpai her first husband (completely ignoring the fact of a student marriage). According to rumors, this union broke up due to the husband’s jealousy of his lifelong friend, who was in demand in the profession.

The next time Larisa got married after 30 was to businessman and musician Gennady Bolgarin. For the sake of the actress, the man left his previous family. God rewarded the couple with a daughter, Mary. After 20 years, the marriage broke up. The actress’s close circle claims that Gennady’s addiction to gambling is to blame. The man's colossal losses in the casino jeopardized the family's well-being.
Larisa tells reporters that her personal life has never been cloudless. However, it is a sin for a woman to complain about success in her profession. A 100% realized artist enjoys the rays of her fame, receives satisfaction from the roles she plays, and makes new creative plans. This brightens up her other troubles in life.

Larisa often travels around Europe, often with her daughter. The grown-up Maria graduated from a prestigious film school in Rome. The family has property in Bulgaria for rest and relaxation.
Larisa calls her only daughter the main person in her life. But considering that, having crossed the 60-year-old mark, Larisa looks simply wonderful, personal happiness can still come to this amazing woman.

On April 29, actress Larisa Udovichenko turns 60 years old. Lately she has been living abroad and only visits Russia for work – on filming, performances and film festivals. , fulfilling my old dream. And now the star of Soviet and Russian cinema can be seen more often in Nice than in Moscow. “Larissa doesn’t tell us about this, and when asked, she simply omits this point,” actor Sergei Kolesnikov shared with StarHit.
Now the actress is not acting in films. On April 29, viewers will be able to watch the artist on the stage of the Smolensk Drama Theater named after A.S. Griboedov, the comedy “Marry Me.” On this day, the artist will have a benefit performance. In the meantime, fans of Udovichenko can only live with memories of the roles once played by Larisa Ivanovna. We can safely say that in our cinema today's hero of the day can be considered one of the sexiest actresses. Even at the start of her career, in the early 70s, she was already the object of desire for numerous fans. Even when there was no official sex in the USSR, Udovichenko could create the desired effect without “adult” scenes with nudity and demonstration of charms. People fell in love with her heroines and remembered them, even if it was just an episode or a supporting role. On the day of Lyudmila Udovichenko’s 60th birthday, “StarHit” decided to recall the 10 most striking and daring works of the actress.
Lyudmila Gasilova, “And it’s all about him”
In the village detective story, which takes place in a logging village, the actress played a local beauty, with whom the secretary of the Komsomol organization Evgeniy Stoletov (Igor Kostolevsky) has been in love since the 6th grade. The guy dies under strange circumstances. The investigator leading this case, Alexander Prokhorov (Evgeny Leonov), finds out that Stoletov opposed the work methods of the logging foreman Pyotr Gasilov (Leonid Markov). He was against his daughter’s relationship with Evgeniy, and although she reciprocated his feelings, she followed her father’s lead... For a film about the everyday life of workers, Udovichenko’s heroine looks very impressive: she flaunts around the village in open dresses and with a red scarf on her head. And in the first scene she appears on the beach in a swimsuit, which is why Prokhorov calls her Aphrodite.
Adele, "Die Fledermaus"
In the film based on the famous operetta by Strauss, the actress got the role of a maid. Her owner, banker Heinrich Eisenstein (Yuri Solomin), is going to a masquerade. His friend, theater director Falk (Vitaly Solomin), decides to play a prank on his friend. He involves his maid Adele in this matter. According to Falk's idea, she should come to the ball dressed as a Bat and, without being recognized, seduce her owner. Adele doesn't like this idea, but she agrees because she dreams of becoming an actress, and a successful prank will be proof of her talents. But by chance, events begin to develop differently than expected... The heroine Udovichenko is very artistic, dances and sings beautifully. It costs her nothing to pretend to be a baroness at a masquerade. And at the end of the ball, she puts on a real performance, changing a number of masks from the greens merchant to the queen. And, of course, she skillfully flirts with men. The results of the ball are impressive: “Seven begged for a date, four proposed, and one offered to adopt with all the titles.”
Manka Bond, “The meeting place cannot be changed”
Udovichenko was offered the main role of Varya Sinichkina in the film, but the actress found it uninteresting. But she happily played the girl of easy virtue Maria Kolyvanova, nicknamed Manka Bond, who appears on the screen for only 10 minutes. In the story, criminal workers Gleb Zheglov (Vladimir Vysotsky) and Vladimir Sharapov (Vladimir Konkin) catch Manka during an operation to check documents. She happens to be wearing a bracelet from a murdered woman, and it helps her get on the trail of the Black Cat gang, which Zheglov and Sharapov are hunting. The heroine Udovichenko cannot fail to impress. She wears a colorful dress with a hat, flirts with investigators, showing off her legs in stockings, famously uses criminal jargon (“Don’t show off, trash!”) and immediately composes heart-warming legends about herself. But, of course, this will not defeat the valiant Soviet police.
Lyusya Vinogradova, “The most charming and attractive”
In the film about how an unmarried woman over 30 Nadya Klyueva (Irina Muravyova) decided to arrange personal happiness with the help of her friend Susanna (Tatyana Vasilyeva), the actress played the colleague of the main character. She flaunts her views on love to her colleagues, quoting La Rochefoucauld: “Of two lovers, one loves, and the other allows himself to be loved.” And he adds: “Am I a fool to love myself?” Unlike Nadya, Lucy’s family life is fine. And the secret of success is precisely what Susanna advises Nadya: Lyusya is a big fashionista and loves to treat those around her (though without hiding the fact that the pies are the work of her mother). And this gives the result: the heroine marries for the third time. And to the question of colleagues: “So how is your third husband successful?” answers: “Better than the second, but not ideal.” And you believe: the fourth one will be even better!
Tatyana Busygina, “Sons of Bitches”
The film is based on the real situation that developed in the 80s at the Taganka Theater, when its director Yuri Lyubimov was deprived of citizenship and removed from the management of the theater for anti-party statements. In the story, the actors, including Busygina, go on strike. In this film, the actress risked appearing completely naked in front of the audience: in one of the scenes, her character tries to seduce a Ministry of Culture official (Leonid Filatov). True, the stripping trick was only needed to take photographs compromising the official, and the heroine simply poses next to the “victim” in front of a photographer who suddenly appears.
Natalya Vladimirovna, “Bolotnaya street, or a remedy against sex”
This film is entirely about sex. The main character Leva (Stanislav Sadalsky) returns from the zone and, having gotten hold of a woman after a long abstinence, starts a fire in the house in the literal sense of the word. The firefighters manage to put out the fire, and meanwhile, in the chaos, various piquant details emerge from the personal lives of the inhabitants of the house, including Udovichenko’s heroine, the sultry woman Natalya Vladimirovna. She spends the entire film wearing sexy lingerie, stockings with garters and a red flower on her head. Particularly noteworthy is the scene of a passionate kiss with the hero of Leonid Yarmolnik (a would-be lover who fled to the balcony, who in fact was not there), hanging at that moment in his arms outside the window.
Anna, “A Woman for Everyone”
In this film, Udovichenko played the modest librarian Anna. She has neither a husband nor children, but she is attached to the children of her neighbor Maria (Natalia Egorova). Suddenly she dies, and Anna decides to take custody of her children. Nikolai (Nikolai Karachentsov), Maria’s lover, also wants this. By that time, Anna and Nikolai realize that they are not indifferent to each other... In this film, the actress played a very “homey” woman: she breeds canaries, collects herbs for tea, and in one of the scenes prepares dough for pies. The image itself is attractive for men, but we are used to seeing the actress on the screen not like that. It would seem that the stereotype is broken, but no - in the last scene Anna gives free rein to her feelings and makes love with Karachentsov’s hero right in the car.
Tatyana, “Love in Russian”
In the trilogy about the life of a Russian village, the actress played Tatiana, a refugee from Central Asia. She begins an affair with Viktor Kurlygin (Nikita Dzhigurda), a former Afghan officer who has taken up farming. The most revealing scene with the actress’s participation, oddly enough, is not a love scene, but an episode in a bathhouse, where the heroines of the film perform fortune telling. As for the scenes with Dzhigurda, they contain more conversations. According to the actor’s recollections, during filming he went crazy about his partner, and once even admitted that they had a relationship. True, Udovichenko herself denied this information and was very offended by Dzhigurda for such statements.
Sofya Abramovna, “What a wonderful game”
In the film about how in the early 50s a group of students were shot for a political prank, the actress played an elderly artist who, shortly before her arrest, begins an affair with one of the guys, Felix Raevsky (Andrei Ilyin). She is a woman with a turbulent past and willingly tells the student about her adventures. Outwardly, she is an intelligent woman who wears glasses, but, having called Felix home, she unexpectedly comes out to him in a robe with an indecent cut. True, the student does not have time to evaluate it - he deserts. But something makes him come back after a while with a cake and words of love.
Elmira, Tartuffe
In the film adaptation of Moliere's famous comedy, the actress plays Elmira, a married lady and mistress of a respected house. Tartuffe (Mikhail Boyarsky), a rogue who poses as a saint, falls in love with her. He enjoys the trust of Elmira's husband (Vladislav Strizhelchik), who is even going to marry his daughter (Anna Samokhina) to him. To show her husband the duplicity of his favorite, Elmira puts on a performance: in front of her hiding husband, she rushes into the arms of Tartuffe, and the situation goes far until the husband, not believing his eyes, comes out of hiding. The honor of the noble lady is saved, the hypocrite is punished.

“Who haven’t I loved! And Mikhail Boyarsky, and Sergei Shakurov, and Nikita Dzhigurda, and Nikolai Eremenko, and Viktor Stepanov. In short, as an actress and as a woman, I can’t imagine myself without love.”
Is Larisa Udovichenko happy? The actress answered frankly:
“In the profession yes, in life no. Thank God, the profession compensates.”
The life of a beautiful and talented woman was not at all sugar. She stayed in Moscow on the advice of her mentor Tamara Makarova and entered into a fictitious marriage with Muscovite director Alexander Pankratov-Bely. Alexander registered her in the apartment, but they soon divorced.
In biographical sketches, Udovichenko’s first husband was director Andrei Eshpai. Their family life did not work out, there were no children, and they decided to get a divorce. The husband was very jealous, they say that for this reason the marriage broke up. Eshpay married Evgenia Simonova, with her he was truly happy.
Larisa had many fans, she attracted attention. But she chose entrepreneur Gennady Bolgarin. Their flared romance destroyed the family of married Gennady. He left his wife and 13-year-old son. In this marriage, 32-year-old Larisa Udovichenko gave birth to a daughter, Masha. The lovers lived together for 20 years. They say that the marriage broke up because the husband lost a huge amount of money in a casino and put the family in danger.
2 years ago there were rumors that Larisa Udovichenko moved to live in France and bought an apartment in Nice. And this information was presented by the “whistleblower” Stas Sadalsky. But the artist denies everything and says that she lives in Russia, in Moscow. Larisa loves to travel. She visits Europe every year: her daughter Masha studied in Italy, at a Roman film school. According to Larisa Ivanovna, she bought an apartment in Bulgaria.

This is the story of an intelligent loser vegetating in a St. Petersburg communal apartment and working as a “literary black” for Olga Buzova. The main roles went to Dmitry Lysenkov and Olga Buzova. Larisa Ivanovna got the role of the publisher's wife.
The director of “Winter Cherry” Igor Maslennikov began filming the final, fourth part of the family saga last summer. The film “Winter Cherry 4” will be released in 2017. The film will feature all the heroes of the previous films, including Larisa Udovichenko.
