Irina Bezrukova is one of the most seductive domestic actresses. Admirers of the artist are convinced that her ex-husband Sergei Bezrukov lost his dignity by exchanging the brilliant Irina for another girl.
Most admirers of the actress agree that the divorce suited her - she seemed to have freshened up and become even more beautiful.
The life story of Irina Bezrukova
Irina Vladimirovna Bezrukova is a famous Russian theater and film actress, public figure, and popular TV presenter. An audio descriptor of the highest category, he has been fruitfully engaged in laconic translation for visually impaired audiences for many years.
Ira was born on April 11, 1965 in an ordinary family. The baby’s father and mother, a medical worker and chamber musician, raised their youngest daughter Olya, Irina’s sister, in the family. From a young age, the girls studied music, studying violin and piano.
When Ira was 11 years old, her mother passed away after a serious illness. Soon, the father settled into a personal life with another woman. Later, the sisters were taken in by their grandmother; they lived together, but in extreme poverty.
At a young age, Ira was a fragile and exhausted child, it seemed that all illnesses stuck to her, and therefore she grew up as a closed and unsociable girl. She found all her childhood fantasies and dreams, friends and communication through reading her favorite books. Despite her wild lifestyle, the girl decides to try herself in theater clubs. Meanwhile, she was not accepted into the school union, advising her to enter the regional art college. Subsequently, she became a student of this theatrical institution.
The creative path of Irina Bezrukova
The actress's debut role took place while she was still studying. 1988 was marked by the successful completion of a higher educational institution. The actress played for some time in the Tula Drama Theater, where she met her first love and husband Igor Livanov.
Later, the couple moved to the capital. There, Irina continued to improve her acting skills at the Oleg Tabakov theater complex.
Irina Bezrukova in the acting field
Having gained experience on the theater stage, the artist received invitations to audition for films. The early nineties were marked by the actress’s successful work in the film “Talisman”, in which she had the honor of playing alongside famous actors of Russian cinema. Irina’s bright appearance and luxurious figure were imprinted in the memory of the directors and producers of the film.
This was followed by the actress’s masterpiece works, supported by high-profile premieres and audience recognition. After finishing one of the filming processes, the tired actress was returning home and found herself on the same plane with Sergei Bezrukov.
The private life of Irina Bezrukova
The first official husband of the actress, the famous actor and acting teacher Igor Livanov. The star couple had a common son, Andrei.
With her second husband, the famous actor Sergei Bezrukov, the TV presenter lived in a happy marriage for 15 years.
The actress showed herself as a loving, faithful and devoted soulmate, adapting her busy acting schedule to her lover, arranging sudden surprises, and lovingly greeting him after long filming processes.
The couple did not have children together, but later it became obvious that the actor had two illegitimate children.
After long and painful proceedings, the couple formally ended their relationship.
In the spring of 2015, a terrible tragedy occurred in Irina’s life - the lifeless body of her only son was found in the artist’s apartment.
The causes of death still remain unclear, although there have been a great many assumptions: from drug addiction to fatal illness.
However, the actress herself states that her son died in an accident.
Irina Bezrukova at the moment
The painful breakup with her second husband and the loss of her son did not have a detrimental effect on the actress’s creative process. She continues to vigorously act in films, play in the theater, attend social events and luxurious parties.
With impressive appearance and natural magnetism, Irina constantly accepts invitations to participate in fashion shows of branded evening dresses and elegant hairstyles.
In 1971, Norman Mailer said that "giving a camera to Diane Arbus was like putting a grenade in the hands of a child." She was drawn to perverts, misfits, transvestites, problem children, circus performers and freaks. Today Arbus would be 92 years old. In memory of her and her work, we have compiled a list of the most controversial photographers in history.
1. Diane Arbus. Diana was a strange character. She gained fame by photographing various freaks and freaks.
2. Joel-Peter Witkin. Brooklyn-based photographer Witkin loved shooting in Mexico. Sometimes he used corpses and parts of their bodies in his works.
3. Irina Ionesco. French photographer Irina Ionesco has been criticized for photographing her own child. She turned her five-year-old daughter Eva into her muse and model. The photos turned out beautiful - but extremely cryptic. Eva sued Irina three times.
4. Jan Saudek. The Czech photographer exploited symbolism, political metaphors and sex in his photographs. There was a lot of sex in his work.
5. Robert Mapplethorpe. He photographed such legendary figures as Andy Warhol, Deborah Harry, and his friend Patti Smith. He was distinguished by his love for homoerotic and sadomasochistic aesthetics. There is a photograph, for example, of Mapplethorpe sticking a whip up his butt.
6. Andres Serrano. American photographer Andres Serrano experimented a lot with corpses and feces. This photograph from the morgue is not the most striking example of his scandalous work.
7. Gottfried Helnwein. He is called a friend of Marilyn Manson. If you don't like theatrical violence, the mixing of innocence with blood, as well as a touch of fascism and consumerism, this photographer may not be to your liking.
8. Steven Meisel. One of the most famous fashion photographers, regularly works with the American and Italian editions of Vogue. Photographed Madonna for her book Sex.
Once again, the theater of the absurd within the framework of the Open All-Russian Forum of theater groups “Flap of the Wing” impressed the audience of the Zhavoronki Theater Center. Moscow Theater named after. Leonid Andreev presented the premiere performance “Interview with Ionesco” on January 20. The author of the script, director and at the same time performer of one of the main roles, Andrei Babaev, presented an extraordinary production to the audience.
The exploitation play features interviews with famous playwrights, but no one can be sure whether it is Eden Ionesco. Viewers of the performance literally found themselves in the mid-90s of the 20th century. The extraordinary images of the correspondent, the mysterious Ionesco and the crow were professionally played by actors who got used to their roles beyond recognition. The production contains many references to the work of the famous playwright, who is involved in theater of this genre. 
Fascinated spectators witnessed extraordinary events. It seemed that the correspondent and Ionesco were one and the same person. Extraordinary costumes and makeup created a deep impression of the whole picture. The performance was supplemented with short videos reflecting the fact that all the action on stage is an absurd projection of the reality happening in our lives. At the end of the performance, the audience left the auditorium, immersed in philosophical thoughts, inspired by an interesting play. 
The organizers are very pleased that the festival ended with an extremely impressive production. The final theater week will begin on the stage of the Zhavoronki Theater Center on February 5 best works Forum "Flap of a Wing". Do not miss!

Some parents want to raise their child to be a real celebrity, and thereby make it a reality own goals. However, for a child, the price of popularity may be too high. This is what happened with these children.
Eva Ionescu

Eva's mother, Irina Ionesco, was a professional and very famous photographer in France and chose her daughter as her favorite model. But she preferred to photograph her daughter naked or half-dressed, in obscene poses. The girl was only 4 years old when her mother began selling her photographs, and at the age of 11, photographs of the girl appeared in Playboy. At the same time, Eva made her film debut in Roman Polanski's film The Tenant. Next was the erotic film “Dissolute Childhood.” After this, a scandal broke out, Irina Ionesco was deprived parental rights and was forbidden to photograph her daughter, but she continued to sell photographs of the girl secretly. In 2011, Eva released an autobiographical film called “My Little Princess,” with which she apparently wanted to explain to her mother how wrong she was. Apparently, several trials with her daughter did not convince Irina Ionesco of anything.
Alana Thompson ("Cutie Boobu")

Alana's mother, June, always dreamed of becoming famous and therefore sent her daughter to beauty pageants from the age of six. And, it should be noted, she achieved her goal: the family was noticed by producers and offered to film a reality show about their life, “Here Comes Cutie Bubu!” It really was a goldmine: a show not about celebrities, but about typical rednecks: alcoholism, sloppiness, early marriages and pregnancies, junk food, scandals and obesity - a complete set of vices that everyone is so interested in watching. But during the show, Bubu’s mother seemed to break all records. Before filming, she gave her daughter a mixture of lemonade and energy drink so that Honey Boobu would be “more lively,” fed her daughter to a significant stage of obesity, and then completely committed an act that amazed all of America: they refused to film the next season of the show when June began living with her ex-boyfriend, who served 10 years on charges of corrupting an eight-year-old girl. And this girl was... June's eldest daughter! Now Cutie Bubu is unsuccessfully trying to lose weight, and her mother has one answer to all the attacks from journalists: “What did I do? I didn't give her alcohol. But I could!”

Richard's father, a former martial arts champion, always dreamed of raising his son to be "the strongest child in the world"! When the boy was two years old, the family moved from Ukraine to the USA and Richard began his daily training. Subsequently, Richard's father was accused of child abuse: Richard was not allowed to play, walk outside, eat unhealthy but tasty food and, naturally, take time off from training. But already at the age of eight he could press his double weight from his chest, and at 11 he could bench press a triple weight. At the age of eight, Richard became the strongest child in the world: he was invited to TV shows, training and competitions, and was called “little Hercules.”
But soon “little Hercules” broke all ties with his father: the man was sentenced to three years for violence - he beat his wife. Richard himself called the police. Then the training came to an end.
Now the former bodybuilder is 26 years old and he doesn’t look nearly as cool as he did in his youth. “I am very proud of my childhood achievements, I am not ashamed of them, and I am not trying to hide this page of my life from anyone. - he says. “I just don’t want to live like this anymore.” Richard still does not communicate with his father, who has long been released from prison.
Bjarne Andersen

When Bjorn was six years old, his mother was deprived of parental rights and his grandmother took care of the boy. The boy himself dreamed of becoming a pianist, but his grandmother, who worked at the Stockholm film studio, dreamed of her grandson’s film career, especially since he definitely had the external qualities. Almost at the first casting in Bjorn's life, director Luchino Visconti chose him for the role of Tadzio, in his film adaptation of Thomas Mann's novella “Death in Venice”: this is the story of the unhealthy passion of the writer Gustav von Aschenbach for the young Polish aristocrat Tadzio.
Filming was difficult for Björn: the director forbade the child to sunbathe, swim in the sea, play with other children, and especially flirt with girls: as soon as Visconti noticed this, he threw a scandal and stopped filming. Andresen was strictly forbidden to leave the image of a young aristocratic homosexual.
After the premiere, fame fell on Bjorn; they began to call him “the most beautiful boy of the 20th century.” At the same time, journalists constantly tried to catch him in contact with men, which was facilitated by the director of the film: after the premiere, he invited Bjorn to a gay club.
As a result, Bjorn, unable to withstand such tension, actually began dating men, but later regretted it: “The homosexual experience that I had as a teenager greatly influenced my psyche in a negative way. I succumbed to everyone’s influence and simply caused myself physical and moral harm,” he said later.
As a result, Bjorn managed to cope with this and returned to music studies and got married. But he still remembers his youth with regret.

Lindsey started her career at the age of three. At first, the baby worked as a model, then switched to TV series, and at the age of 11 she played the main role in the comedy “The Parent Trap,” which opened the way for her to big cinema. One of the most successful projects of young Lindsay was the comedy “Mean Girls,” after which the paparazzi began to pursue 16-year-old Lohan. And then something went wrong... Adolescence and the stress of her new superstar status reacted with feelings from her first unsuccessful role: after awards, applause and praise, Lindsay first received the Golden Raspberry anti-award for the comedy Kiss for Good Luck in 2006 year. At the same time, the actress begins to attend meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous, and a year later decides to undergo rehabilitation at a clinic for drug addicts. Everyone knows what happened next. Arrests for drunk driving and accidents, scandals on the set due to stolen things, escapes from a rehab, community work in the morgue. Yes, they continue to talk about Lindsay, but not in connection with her work in films.
Macaulay Culkin

The story of Macaulay Culkin, who became popular and rich after the release of the comedy Home Alone, is a classic example of the tragic fate of a child who could not withstand early fame. Moreover, Kalkin cannot be called an actor of one role - he had every chance to break out of the comedic image. For example, in 1993 Macaulay played negative role in the dramatic thriller "The Good Son". The directors did not refuse to work with the young talent, but the boy, inspired by success, asked for millions in fees for his participation in the projects, while his parents were on the verge of divorce due to a conflict over the right to manage their son’s money. Culkin was forced to temporarily stop working in films so that his parents would allow financial questions. The parents eventually divorced, the money went to the now matured Macaulay, but the directors forgot about the young talent during the long period of inactivity. Moreover, the talent itself had already lost its freshness and youthful charm, became addicted to alcohol and drugs, managed to marry actress Rachel Miner at the age of 17 and divorce two years later. Culkin's only notable film work as an adult was his role in the tragicomedy Club Mania, where he played the notorious promoter Michael Alig, who killed his drug dealer. Critics and viewers called the role of a lonely raver, mired in parties and addictions, a reflection inner world Culkin himself. In December 2012, information appeared that Macaulay tried to commit suicide due to depression after breaking up with actress Mila Kunis.

Today “My Little Princess” by French director Eva Ionesco is released in our theaters. Eva has become widely known in Europe since the mid-1970s. And not even because at the age of ten she made her film debut in one of Roman Polanski’s most famous films “The Tenant”. But because in the early school age became a star of glamor and eroticism, the youngest model in history, whose photographs were published by Playboy and Penthouse. She was mostly photographed by her mother, a French photographer and Romanian by birth, Irina Ionesco. In an interview with MN, Eva IONESCO spoke about what made her make a picture about her scandalous childhood and why she came out so impartial towards her mother.
— As a product of the communist era, to tell the truth, until recently I had not heard anything about Eva Ionesco and her fame.
- Yes, I was on the other side of the wall.
- But it was a revelation to me that you have many fans on the Russian Internet, and these are clearly not pedophiles, but film fans who are interested in what your interpretation of your own childhood will be.
- This is good. Because I am against pedophilia and fight it in every possible way.
— I’ll start with a provocative question. Today we are often inclined to condemn the 60s and 70s from the standpoint of current morality. After recent pedophile scandals, for example in Belgium, even the great Nabokov began to be accused of God knows what. But the times were completely different - with a different looseness, different ideas about what was acceptable in art and artistic provocation. Judging by the film, the mother-photographer is a clear product of those craziest 70s. Maybe what she does with her daughter was considered quite normal by the standards of the 70s? And it turns out that you condemn the mother (in the film, she mercilessly exploits her daughter’s appearance and her girlish body for the sake of her own career and money) from the standpoint of precisely today’s time?
- No, no, filming children naked has never been normal (we note in parentheses that there is still no nudity in the film. Another thing is that the mother in the photographs turns her daughter into a girl-woman, a seductress, sometimes almost copying a photo of Marlene Dietrich: painted lips, silk stockings, coquetry, affectation. - “MN”). It’s not for nothing that my mother was first forbidden to photograph me, and then deprived of her parental rights. At the same time, she continued to secretly sell my photographs. They can now be found on the Internet and no matter how hard you try, it will not be possible to completely remove them from there - this was explained to me by both the French and European police authorities. Unfortunately, there are plenty of pedophiles. So there will always be users for sites where these photos are posted, although this is punishable. As for the 70s, theories were fashionable among intellectuals that sleeping with children was completely acceptable. And there was even an organization that called itself the “Pedophile Liberation Front.”
— How big is the gap between you and your heroine? In the film, only her mother takes photographs of her. In reality, you also worked with other photographers. And besides, immediately after “The Tenant” they starred in several explicit films.
— There is a gap, but it is not fundamental. The main thing is accuracy in the depiction of the mother. I wanted to convey its inconsistency, largely generated by that very era of the 70s. She photographed for the needs of men, but at the same time considered herself a feminist who fought for the liberation of women. She believed that she was serving radical art, the books of the philosopher and cultural critic Georges Bataille were everything to her, but she is lost at the words that her daughter says in the film: “You repeat to me: Bataille, art, art, but my pictures are in porn stores, aren’t they?” One of the questions that I wanted to ask in the film: where is the line beyond which art turns into something immoral and illegal?
— Let me formulate the question harshly: was your mother an artist or a pornographer?
— There is a concept of law. The law clearly describes what pornography is. If certain parts of the body are visible and the pictures are taken with the intention of arousing someone, then it is pornography. Those who call this art are simply buffoons. Some things cannot be done. It may be unfashionable to say this now, but this is my position.
- You are talking about illegality. Is it okay that little girls are smoking on your screen? Nowadays smoking is prohibited everywhere, and this is almost more shocking in the film than the erotic filming.
- Yeah, so girls with pistols are allowed to walk around on screen, but smoking is not allowed? But they still know that many teenagers smoke. Besides, I admit, the people smoking fake cigarettes on my screen.
- Then one more insidious question about the mother. Would you have been a successful director without such a childhood (Eva Ionesco already has two films and a third is in the plans)? It is known that people who become stars early - cinema, pop - often end up as losers and alcoholics. I believe that if your mother had not fed you Bataille in your youth, if you had not known who Polansky and photographer Richard Avedon were, then you would not have gone to acting courses with the famous director Patrice Chéreau, and would not have played in his performances based on plays Chekhov and Shakespeare, would not actively act in films. Finally, would they now find the talent to make a tough film about their own childhood? If there were no such mother, there would not be such a daughter.
“But it’s not good in itself that she made me famous.” It's a tabloid misconception that it's wonderful to be famous. Celebrity dooms young people to be at odds with the world around them. At school, the heroine of my film feels like a stranger. They fight with her there, calling her a whore. If a person becomes famous early, this almost always means that he will collapse in the future.
- Then another strange question: we know two film adaptations of “Lolita” - Stanley Kubrick and Adrien Lyne. Both are quite compromises, and most importantly, in both they fail precisely with Lolita. A funny suggestion came across on the Russian-language Internet: if they ever dare to film Lolita for the third time, then for legal reasons the heroine will be made digital. And in this case, they will certainly copy Eva Ionesco of the 70s, who was the ideal Lolita.
- This is really funny! I just wonder if anyone will ask my consent.
— Finally, two clarifications. First. In the film, your heroine has a risky shoot with a man who resembles Sid Vicious (who, by the way, is played by Nick Cave’s son). Did you actually film with Vicious?
- No, although my mother and I crossed paths with him in clubs. This is an invention - the image of the fact that at that time I was often photographed with different famous people. With Salvador Dali, for example. But in fact, I don’t even remember exactly with whom, because I was little.
- And further. In connection with the heroine's grandmother, a Russian church choir sounds behind the scenes. Where did this come from?
— My Romanian grandmother and I went to a Russian restaurant every Sunday. Orthodox Church on Rue Daru in Paris. Why she preferred this particular church, I don’t know.
- Thanks for the interview.
“Just don’t publish nude photographs of me taken by my mother as an illustration to it.” And then one respected French magazine took it and published it.
About the courage of actresses
Both main roles in “My Little Princess” required courage from the performers. It is no secret that Isabelle Huppert is one of the bravest—and best—actresses of our time. By the way, in accordance with the role, she looks surprisingly young on screen. But the fact that the young non-professional Anamaria Vartolomei kept her in worthy company is, of course, a revelation. It is she who portrays Eva Ionesco (the names have been changed in the film, but, apparently, only for the sake of greater creative freedom). Anamaria, like Eva, is also from a family of Romanian immigrants. He studies with excellent marks. But after some bold scenes in My Little Princess, she may have the same problems with her classmates that Eva had.
