Sometimes the apple falls further from the tree than usual.
Maria is the only child of Lyudmila Gurchenko, but despite this, she admitted that she always considered herself an unloved child. Lyudmila can hardly be called a caring mother: when the choice arose, family or career, she chose the latter without hesitation.
Maria was raised by her grandmother, and all her childhood the girl tried to earn her mother’s love – she studied well, didn’t ask for anything in particular, and was famous for her exemplary behavior. Alas, the attempts were in vain.
Gurchenko was ashamed of her daughter’s appearance, who did not grow up as a stately beauty as she herself was. And yet, at some point, Lyudmila set out to grow her successor from Mary – the future great actress. To the disappointment of Gurchenko, her daughter wanted something completely different. She did not want the fame and recognition of millions: she dreamed of becoming a doctor, dressed modestly, did not use makeup, and did not like to be in the spotlight.
“Maybe it was my protest. I even came up with a name for it – ”conscious indifference”. Since childhood, I was annoyed by talk about acting parties and my mother’s men. I don’t know who I am? Maybe a father? — admitted the Queen years later. Maria passed away in 2017 from heart failure.
Nastasya Shell – daughter of Natalya Andreichenko
Natalya Andreichenko was called Lady Perfection, was called the main beauty of Moscow, and one of the most beautiful Soviet actresses. The star of the movie “Mary Poppins, goodbye” with one look drove men crazy.
Natalya was well aware of her attractiveness and enjoyed using it. Andreichenko did not hide her many novels, but one day she crossed the line – she took the guy away from her own daughter. After that, Nastasya, who already had a tense relationship with her mother, completely stopped communicating with her.
Nastasya did not inherit her mother’s beauty, but, being a charismatic and charming girl, she strove to conquer the cinema. The father, who doted on his daughter, helped to break through. Alas, at the age of 17, Nastasya became pregnant, and being overweight prevented her from continuing to act for a long time. In the end, the girl gave up: she found her calling in motherhood, away from publicity.
Larisa Udovichenko and Maria Udovichenko
Larisa Udovichenko was able to become a mother only in her third marriage. Her only daughter Maria, although she looks like a famous mother, did not inherit individual aristocratic features – here she rather went to her father Gennady Bolgarin.
From an early age, Masha admired her mother and, of course, was going to follow in her footsteps, and become the same popular favorite, so after school, she entered the theater. But in the end, after the first semester, the girl realized that it was not her: she took a break and after a while left for Milan. There she graduated from the Institute of Fashion and Design, and also received a diploma in economics. She also met her love, the musician Francesco Criuscoli. They got married and in 2020 became the parents of a daughter.
Anna Sherling – daughter of Tamara Akulova
If you meet Tamara Akulova and Anna Sherling on the street, you can hardly say that they are mother and daughter – they are so different. Yes, Anna does not have such subtle aristocratic features. She is different, and so much the better for herself.
Sherling dreamed of becoming an actress since childhood, and comparisons with her mother never frightened her. “I came to my parents and said that I want to be an actress and I am preparing to enter the appropriate university. To which my mother began to beat in hysterics, and my father categorically said: ”No. First, get a profession, and then go to acting, ” Anna said.
The girl insisted on her own and nevertheless became an actress. Yes, not the same as her famous mother, but it seems that this fact does not bother Anna. In her career, she goes her own way – long, inconspicuous, through series. But the main thing is that she sincerely likes what she does.
