Manka-Bond from “The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed,” the elegant Mrs. Banks from “Mary Poppins, Goodbye!”, the lover of private investigation Dasha Vasilyeva from the series of the same name, Valya from “Winter Cherry” - the actress played all these roles with incredible femininity and talent! “I always play myself, but in the circumstances that are offered to me,” she once admitted, as quoted by the celebrity kulturologia.ru. However, the star’s personal life cannot be called successful. All three of Udovichenko’s marriages turned out to be complete failures.
First marriage
Almost at the end of graduating from VGIK, the former Odessa resident Udovichenko had an acute question about her future life in Moscow. Larisa dreamed of staying in the capital, but for this she needed to obtain a residence permit. During Soviet times, living in Belokamennaya without official registration was prohibited. Young Udovichenko was afraid that due to redistribution she would be sent back to Odessa and all plans for a luxurious career would turn out to be a failure. After consulting with her teacher Tamara Makarova, she decided on a fictitious marriage. The future director Alexander Pankratov-Bely was secretly in love with the thin, feminine and graceful Larisa. He agreed to the painting and even registered it on his living space. Then those around them gossiped that Sashka dreamed of making the beauty fall in love with him, but higher powers, apparently, were against this. Soon after receiving the coveted stamp in her passport, Larisa divorced her fictitious husband without regrets.
Family of Larisa Udovichenko
Larisa Udovichenko's family has always been her support; her parents have always supported the girl's desire to become famous. At the same time, she could always return home, she would be accepted, even if the beauty stopped acting in films.
Father, Ivan Udovichenko, is a medical worker, and quite a talented one at that; he was a military doctor, who, due to the nature of his work, was forced to constantly change his place of residence, transporting his wife and beloved daughters.
Mom - Muse Udovichenko - was a teacher in a kindergarten, and then a housewife who was constantly raising her daughters, but was a creative person at heart. Muza Alekseevna graduated from the Institute of Theater, Music and Cinema in her native Leningrad, but then chose family and children.
Lorochka had a sister, Yana Udovichenko, who was born before her famous sister. She graduated from the Polytechnic and received a higher economic education, but connected her life with the Odessa film studio. Yana worked there as an administrator, and then took the same position in the Union of Cinematographers of Odessa.
By the way, Udovichenko’s family belongs to the indigenous St. Petersburg family, and her grandfather and grandmother survived the blockade. They were teachers of their native language and history at the university, but were unable to evacuate from the city. All relatives on her mother's side, except her brother, died of hunger and cold during the siege of Leningrad.
All my paternal relatives were also teachers, but my father chose military medicine; he fought on the fronts of the Finnish and Great Patriotic Wars. Ivan Nikonovich reached Berlin, and met his future wife on the Road of Life. By the way, the man had a first wife and two small children, whom he left for a new passion.
Her parents died when the girl was still a student at GITIS, while Udovichenko was close to her sister and cousin Sveta, who kept house when the actress was on tour.
Wife of a Russian intellectual
Udovichenko’s true love was Andrey Eshpai, the son of the famous Soviet composer, blue blood. In him the actress saw a real Russian intellectual. Even after the divorce, the star spoke extremely positively about her chosen one and called her ex-husband’s appearance Chekhov’s. Alas, everything was destroyed by the incredible beauty of young Larisa. In her youth, men liked her so much that Eshpai had difficulty holding his own. As a result, the beloved’s psyche failed, and he began to be terribly jealous of his chosen one towards famous and status men. They ended up getting divorced. Already in adulthood, Udovichenko will say that she is disappointed in men and will call them the second, after women, of the fair sex.

She allowed herself only rare telephone conversations with her beloved and could not even think about destroying the Bulgarian family, in which the 13-year-old heir was growing up. One day Larisa invited Gena to a “real Odessa dinner.” Natalya Andreichenko came there, so the man doubted for a long time: did he attend ordinary creative gatherings, or does Larisa dream of establishing a relationship with him?

The moment came when Larisa and her daughter were in danger due to her husband’s loss at the casino. She filed for divorce and changed the locks at home.
Birth of a daughter
At the same time, friends of the couple were sure that their romance was not anything serious. But the more they were together, the more they realized that they were truly in love. Udovichenko was truly happy with her beloved and enjoyed every minute spent together. And when daughter Mashenka was born, even Gennady’s ex-wife agreed to a divorce.
