House
Such a charming man and talented actor had many novels and two marriages, one of which turned out to be very short, and the second continues to this day. Vladimir Andreev’s first wife, actress Natalya Arkhangelskaya, known for her role as Dunyasha in Gerasimov’s film Quiet Don, hoped to live a long, happy life with him, but this did not happen.
Before the wedding, they dated for eight years, and when they got married, he easily entered her family and became friends with her parents. Natalya gave birth to Andreev's daughter Olga, and plans for a long life together could well have turned out to be a reality if a new love for the young actress Natalya Selezneva had not come into Vladimir Andreev's personal life.
Love for life
They met on the set of the fairy tale film “Caliph the Stork”, in which Natalya played an enchanted princess, and Vladimir Alekseevich the prince, and this happened a month after the wedding of Andreev and Arkhangelskaya.
According to Selezneva, she was fascinated by Andreev at first sight, and later he became seriously interested in the young actress, who was fifteen years younger than him.
The relationship between the film colleagues began on the very first day of filming in front of the rest of the crew, many of whom reacted extremely negatively to this, but the lovers did not pay attention to anyone.
The romance developed rapidly, despite the fact that Andreev was married and had a little daughter growing up. The first wife of Vladimir Andreev, having learned about her husband’s hobby, did not start a scandal, but let her husband go.
“I wasn’t worried, on the contrary, I was happy for my husband that he was in good hands. She always treated Natasha well... She broke up with her husband with a light heart, and it’s strange to me that in all her interviews Selezneva still reproaches herself for breaking up someone else’s family,” says Natalya Arkhangelskaya.
Childhood
As a girl, Polinovskaya Natalya was born into a family of ordinary people. My mother was a famous artist at that time, my father was a photographer and his profession was in demand. Her creative family inspired her to great deeds. The girl wrote poetry, sang very beautifully and was not afraid to perform improvisational concerts for her relatives. An ordinary incident played a very important role in Natalya’s life.
When the girl was walking near the theater, she met actor Mikhail Yuryev, he came up, took her hand and took her to the play “30 Silver Pieces,” where the audition took place. Six-year-old Natasha created a real sensation and was assigned the main role; for the next three years she played on stage.
Family of Vladimir Andreev and Natalya Selezneva
After the divorce from Arkhangelskaya, Andreev and Selezneva got married, and soon another joyful event occurred in the personal life of Vladimir Andreev - his son Yegor was born.
The birth of a child complicated the life of the young family, but the mother of Vladimir Andreev’s wife came to the rescue and took on all the troubles of caring for little Egor while his parents went on tours and creative business trips.
Over the almost fifty years they lived together, there was everything in the life of the family of Vladimir Andreev and Natalya Selezneva, but there was always mutual love and respect between the spouses; they tried, even during quarrels, not to cross boundaries that could eventually destroy any family.
Vladimir Alekseevich endlessly appreciates his wife’s responsiveness and desire to always come to the aid of loved ones.
Vladimir Andreev’s wife tries to surround him with her care, provide him with an ideal life and tasty food, considering this one of the keys to family well-being.
In difficult moments they become one, and this helps solve any of the most difficult problems.
Vladimir Alekseevich and Natalya Igorevna always endlessly trusted each other, never allowing them to doubt their devotion and fidelity.
They could also compromise, and this helped them not quarrel. Vladimir Andreev’s personal life has developed happily, and now she has love not only for his wife, but also for his son and grandchildren, of whom they are very proud.
According to his parents, Egor was always very responsible and reasonable, his teachers praised him, he did not get involved with any bad companies and did not cause them trouble.
Now the son of Vladimir Andreev and Natalya Selezneva is married, he has his own family, but he also takes care of his parents and worries when they are sick.
Yegor became a diplomat, he has three children - Alexey, Elizaveta and Nikolai. The eldest daughter Olga, born in the actor’s first marriage, also gave him a granddaughter, Ksenia.
Secrets of marriage
Natalya and Vladimir lived together in perfect harmony for more than half a century. They were considered one of the strongest couples in the world of domestic cinema and show business. The key to a happy and long life for them was trust. Neither spouse doubted for a moment the loyalty of the other, and there was no reason to.
Another secret to a strong marriage is the lack of joint projects. Vladimir was categorically against him and Natalya interfering at work. Selezneva supported this concept, believing that sometimes you still need to take a break from each other. It is enough that they see each other at home, especially in adulthood, when both of them acted less often. New concerns have appeared: raising grandchildren, for example.

Natalya Selezneva is one of the most popular and sought-after actresses in the Soviet Union. She played in a large number of films. After the collapse of the great country, the woman continued to work actively. But, having starred in 2010, she no longer acted in films, as they began to offer her uninteresting films. She directed all her attention to work in her favorite theater, in which she has been playing since the mid-60s of the last century.
The film actress played in several films by Leonid Gaidai, after which she became incredibly popular with viewers.
Natalya Igorevna’s personal life is happy. She has a beloved husband and son who support the woman in everything.
In 2021, the Culture channel aired a program dedicated to the work of the film actress. Her many fans learned a large number of interesting facts. For example, she herself said that in order to kiss her movie husband Shurik, she had to stand on a small stool, since actor Alexander Demyanenko is much taller than her. It didn’t reach the actor’s lips, but according to the role he should stand upright. That’s when Leonid Gaidai came up with the idea of placing a stool.
From the program it became known what our heroine’s height, weight, and age are. It’s not difficult to calculate how old Natalya Selezneva is. She celebrated her 73rd birthday in a quiet family circle in 2018.
Natalya Selezneva, whose photos in her youth and now can be viewed on the Internet, is of average height. It is equal to 175 centimeters. The actress weighed about 52 kg throughout almost her entire life. In the difficult 90s, the woman recovered slightly. But outwardly this did not affect her figure in any way.
For many years, the star of “Operation Y” and many other films was fond of sports. In the 80s, she became interested in aerobics, which she did quite often. The woman also maintained her shape with the diet she developed. She gave up sweets and baked goods. Only in moments of sadness did the actress treat herself to a piece of chocolate.
Biography and personal life of Natalia Selezneva
In the distant victorious year, a baby was born. The girl’s homeland was the capital metropolis of the Soviet Union - Moscow. The parents decided to name their daughter in honor of her mother’s grandmother – Natasha. Father - Polinkovsky Igor Nikolaevich - was a famous master of photography who photographed the most significant events in the country. Mother - Selezneva Elena Semyonovna decided to give her last name to her daughter, because she considered her more beautiful than her husband.
From a young age, Natasha was an incredibly creative person. She sang, danced, recited poems. At first, the little girl amazed and delighted her loved ones with her creativity. Then she began performing in front of children living in her yard. Grandmothers were also present at the performance, and they assured in unison that Natasha would certainly become an artist. In addition, from the age of 6 the girl began to play on the theater stage. She was trusted with the main roles, which she handled very well.
During her school years, Natasha studied well. She conscientiously completed all her homework, after which she allowed herself to play. At the age of 7, the girl fell in love with reading. She re-read all the works that were in the library.
Natalya began to write poems. Her mother and grandmother believed that she would certainly become an outstanding poetess, but this activity remained her hobby.
In her free time from studying, the girl played in various events. She was trusted with the roles of positive heroines. In 5th grade, Natasha was entrusted with the role of the Snow Maiden, which she did well.
In high school, the girl began to think about what to become. But the incident influenced my professional choice. Natasha attended the performance with her mother. She was so fascinated by the action taking place on stage that she decided to become an actress. Often the girl would then stand in front of the mirror and pronounce monologues from various works. She read excerpts from “Woe from Wit” by A.S. Griboyedov, “Dowry” and “Thunderstorm” by A.N. Ostrovsky. She was especially good at comedy bits. Is there any doubt that the future star of “Ivan Vasilyevich” and other comedies of Leonid Gaidai chose dramatic art for herself.
Having brilliantly completed her schooling, yesterday's graduate sets off to conquer theater institutes. She manages to become a student of Pike and Sliver. Natalya thought for a moment. She chose the Shchukin School for herself, since it was located close to home. The journey from home to the institute took five minutes. The girl often told her family news from the institute and shared her joys with them. She managed to remain the best student even in the student environment.
Even in her student years, our heroine was noticed. She began to be invited to films. The first role was episodic, but even then critics noticed the girl and began to predict a great future for her.
In the mid-60s of the last century, the film “Operation Y and Shurik’s Other Adventures” was released on the country’s screens. The film was shot by the master of Soviet cinema Leonid Gaidai. Natalya starred in it as student Lida. After the premiere of the film, the girl becomes incredibly popular. They declare their love to her, write letters. The movie star recalls that the letters arrived in bags. She didn't manage to read many of them because she was so busy.

Natalya Selezneva says that she really liked the acting of Vladimir Etush, Yuri Nikulin, Mikhail Pugovkin and many others. The girl dreamed of playing dramatic heroines, but she was trusted with comedic roles. Over the course of several decades, the actress played in a large number of performances. The most beloved roles among the audience were the roles in “Captive of Time,” “The Slap of Time,” “Eccentric” and others.

Filmography: films starring Natalya Selezneva
The filmography of the popular actress is incredibly rich. The woman played in several films by the master of Soviet cinema Leonid Gaidai. She was considered Shurik’s wife after the release of “Ivan Vasilyevich,” but this was not the case. Shortly before filming the film, Natalya got married. She became the wife of a film colleague, Vladimir Andreev, whom she met on the set of the film “The Caliph the Stork.” From this moment on, the creative biography and personal life of Natalya Selezneva proceed in parallel. The comedy star Gaidai himself calls them successful. She is grateful to fate for its favor towards her.
Seleznyova played in the difficult 90s and at the beginning of the new millennium, but not so actively. It was just that new directors offered her roles that did not attract her. Among the most successful are the work in “Old Songs about the Main Thing”, “Tycophs”. The film actress played in several episodes of the popular film magazine for children “Yeralash”.
Our heroine tried herself in voice acting. She gave her voice to the stork in the cartoon "Calif the Stork".

Currently, Natalya Selezneva is ill. She broke her hip in 2021. The actress does not give up hope of recovering from her illness and playing again on the stage of her favorite Satire Theater.
Half a century together
Natalya became the keeper of the home. She tried to create a comfortable environment for her husband: so that the house was clean, tidy, and smelled of pies. Moreover, during the construction of the house, the actress personally developed the project, so the building was built according to her idea.
Vladimir did not remain in debt: he supported his wife in every possible way, surrounded her with attention and care. He was with her during difficult times, when Natalya was having a hard time recovering from surgery. It took a whole year for rehabilitation. The actress recalls that during that difficult period she often went to church, read books, and was more often in the fresh air. But to a greater extent, the healing occurred thanks to a loving spouse who was always there.
Unfortunately, in August 2021, Vladimir’s heart stopped. Having celebrated his 90th birthday, he passed away two days later...
