The famous actress Elena Yakovleva passed away in October 2021. The Internet is literally full of such headlines, causing fans of the talented actress to go crazy with worry. Yakovleva allegedly died on the operating table during a complex operation.
The public is shocked by what happened. The artist is not very active on social networks, and she has not been seen “officially” appearing in public for a long time. Perhaps the dirty gossip about the actress's death is true? Or is it true that Yakovleva is suffering from a serious illness, and that is why she is being “buried” everywhere on the Internet.
Elena Yakovleva died - what really happened to the popular actress?
I would like to immediately note, so as not to languish fans of the actress in excitement, that she is alive, and all reports that say the opposite are false. Perhaps resources on the Internet have begun to disseminate such information in order to increase the number of readers on their site.
Some time ago this method was already used. The death of Grigory Leps and Alla Pugacheva was reported. Fortunately, they are also alive and well. There is also a possibility that such information about the star of the series “Kamenskaya” appeared because she said in an interview that she almost died, but managed to escape.
Five facts about Elena Yakovleva:
Fact No. 1: the commission stood up during the admission tests at GITIS.
When entering GITIS, Elena Yakovleva read Katerina Maslova’s monologue from Tolstoy’s “Resurrection.” The commission stood before her, so already in 1978 the future actress was predicted to have a successful career.
Fact No. 2: The actress got married for the first time while still a student.
However, Elena lived with her first husband, artist Sergei Yulin, for only six months.
Fact No. 3: Elena Yakovleva worked in the theater for 33 years!
Despite the fact that many know the actress from her work in films and the television series “Kamenskaya”, theater has always been an important area of her activity.
Fact No. 4: The actress managed to play both a beauty and Baba Yaga!
Indeed, Yakovleva starred not only in the roles of extravagant and inaccessible women; in 2021, she brilliantly coped with the role of Baba Yaga in the film “The Last Hero.”
Fact No. 5: Traffic police officers love Yakovlev most of all.
According to the artist herself, for some reason it is the traffic cops who are indescribably delighted when they meet, although the heroine of the series “Kamenskaya has never stood with a baton.”
Naturally, all the rumors that Yakovleva had passed on to another world turned out to be a stupid invention and a fake. The information that the actress is seriously ill is also untrue. Yakovleva has been working very closely in recent years - everyone remembers the film “Dominika”, where she brilliantly played the main role. In 2021, in addition to filming, the actress plays in the play “It's a Wonderful Life” at the Theater. Pushkin on Tverskoy Boulevard, productions of “Feud” and “Bear”.
Perhaps negative rumors about Yakovleva’s death began to be spread after she criticized the activities of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, speaking out in defense of a country in which “there is so much poverty.” Meanwhile, the actress was recently unable to enter the territory of Ukraine due to performances in Crimea. Politics often leaves its mark on artists, activating various black PR schemes.
So, fortunately, the news turned out to be a hoax.
Let everyone wish mental health and creative success to this wonderful actress. Attention!
Elena Yakovleva is often confused with Alexandra Yakovleva, who is currently suffering from cancer and is dying.

Doctors fought for the actress’s life for 2.5 hours, and during the operation complications arose, as a result of which Yakovleva suffered cardiac arrest.

Larisa Guzeeva disliked Elena Yakovleva - what's the matter?
The actress has already celebrated her 58th birthday, of which she has lived with her husband Valery Shalnykh for thirty years. He is also an actor, not nearly as popular as his wife.
Many men courted Elena, and there were often rumors that she was having affairs with her colleagues. It was this fact from Yakovleva’s biography that made Guzeeva dislike her.
Another reason for Gezeeva’s attitude towards Yakovleva goes back to 1989. Then the actresses competed for the role in the film “Intergirls”, and the main role went to Elena.

I lay in the sun for just an hour, and when I get up, I’m all red, like a lobster. There were no sunscreens back then.
