Honored Artist of Russia Lyudmila Porgina in her creative career made a greater emphasis on theatrical activities. However, she is familiar to the mass audience by her film works in the projects Salome, Juno and Avos, In Circle One. As the wife of the famous actor Nikolai Karachentsov, she devoted the last years of her life not to professional activities, but to caring for those who did not recover from a serious injury received in 2005 by her husband.
A native of the capital of our country and a native of a simple family far from the world of culture and art, Lyudmila Andreevna Porgina, grew up in the post-war years difficult for the country. However, despite the cramped living conditions, she did not make a choice of a profession in favor of profitable specialties, but went to study at the call of her heart, of which, of course, she never regretted subsequently.
Biography and career of Lyudmila Andreevna Porgina
On November 24, 1948, the future famous actress was born in Moscow. Due to the health undermined during World War II, Lyuda's father died shortly after her birth. And therefore mother Nadezhda Stepanovna with two daughters in her arms was exhausted, raising the girls. One room in a communal apartment and a poor diet - that's all the memories of the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation about that time.
However, the girl never saw herself in any other profession other than acting. Therefore, immediately after receiving a certificate of secondary education, she entered the Moscow Art Theater School. The beginning of a creative career with Lyudmila Porgina happened in the "Contemporary" by Oleg Efremov. However, the scene of Lenkom, where she served until 2010, became the same stage a year later.
It was here that she was remembered by theatergoers for musical productions of Juno and Avos and Star and Death of Joaquin Murieta, as well as the children's play Bremen Town Musicians.
Porgina’s cinematic debut took place in 1973, when she starred in Shakespeare's film adaptation of “Much Ado About Nothing, ” directed by Samson Samsonov. And then the actress's filmography was replenished with the following film projects: “The Ensemble of Losers” (1976), “Life of Beethoven” (1978), “Juno and Avos” (1983), “A Little Favor” (1984), “Three Girls in Blue” (1988), "Deja Vu" (1989), "Salome" (2001), "Jester Balakirev" (2002), "In the first circle" (2006).
After the terrible tragedy that happened with her husband Nikolai Karachentsov, Lyudmila left her professional career and devoted her life to caring for the patient. However, her fans have recently regularly seen the actress on television, where she appears as a guest in various programs.
So, in 2013, in the program "Alone with everyone" with the leading Julia Menshova, her legs and arms were cut off for her by very uncomfortable questions and opinions. And in 2016, she agreed to take part in the Fashion Sentence on Channel One, where she appeared with her husband and two grandchildren. The country, with bated breath, watched Lyudmila Porgina’s test on a lie detector in the “Actually” program (September 2017), dedicated to the repeated car accident that occurred on February 28, 2017 (exactly twelve years after the first tragedy that happened on the road with Nikolai Karachentsov) Then experts confirmed that the actress really could not be intoxicated while driving, but breathe in fumes from the bottles of alcohol that crashed during the collision of the car.
And on October 26 of this year, her husband died in the oncological hospital of the capital.
