As a naive, enthusiastic child, she first came to the set. Before casting 12-year-old Proklova for the role of a charming pioneer in the film “They’re Ringing, Open the Door,” Alexander Mitta looked at almost ten thousand Soviet schoolgirls! Not finding his heroine among them, the director was indignant and appealed to the team. After another such scene, assistant director Viktor Proklov responded: “Well, what should I do now, bring my granddaughter to you?”
Lenochka gave the impression of a meek and naive child, but the entire film crew noted her extraordinary endurance and character. They were given to their girl by professional sports: at the time of filming, Lena was already a master of sports in rhythmic gymnastics. The coaches predicted high achievements for her, but fate had other plans for Lena.
A novel covered in mud
Proklova herself recalls her pure, first love with tenderness, never mentioning whether her affair with the brilliant Tabakov had intimate details.
Elena was barely 16, Oleg Pavlovich was 34, when Alexander Mitta approved both of them for the filming of “Shine, Shine, My Star.” There, they say, a serious romance began between the actors, in the midst of which Tabakov seduced the young Proklova.
She protests. They say that it was the gossip around the intimate life of a minor actress and an already famous actor that prevented them from taking decisive action. But she recognizes the fact that Tabakov became her first true love, taught her to feel and got a place in her heart for life.
I wanted a dress
And Elena will get married a little later - at 17. The wedding was scheduled for her brother. The actress was organizing the celebration with her future daughter-in-law, and suddenly she herself wanted to show off in a “princess” dress. Proklova’s then-young man was her brother’s friend Vitaly Melik-Karamov
My parents really liked it. The marriage was blessed. The Proklov sister and brother celebrated their wedding on the same day.
Family life found Elena in her first year at the Moscow Art Theater School. My husband started demanding children from the first day. At the age of 18, the couple had a daughter, Arina.
It was a time of constant proposals and hard work. Elena left her daughter in the care of her parents, and she was constantly on set. “It seemed normal to me to be a Sunday mom. You bring sweets on the weekend, jeans from abroad, and you’ve already fulfilled your duty. In general, I’m a relative mom.” It must be said that Arina’s daughter argues with this statement.
Proklova’s husband was a supporter of the classic patriarchal family and tried to make sure that Elena took care of the house and children, and not creativity.
One day, in the heat of a family quarrel, he presented her with a choice: “Either me or the theater!” "Theater!" - Lena, tired of such a relationship, shouted, collected her things and the child and immediately left.
Elena Proklova's eldest daughter tried to renounce her

Famous actress Elena Proklova spoke about one of the most dramatic episodes of her life. Her eldest daughter Arina, having learned that her mother was getting married a second time, refused to live with her. A 12-year-old girl decided that she would live with her grandparents.
One day before the performance, Elena Proklova called home, where she thought Arina was. But no one answered the phone. Then the actress dialed her parents’ number, it turned out that the girl had gone to them.
“She told me that she would live with her grandparents,” Elena Proklova recalled in the NTV channel program “Secret for a Million.” “So she said: “I don’t want to live with you, and if there is a trial, then I will renounce you. At the age of 12, I have the right to this.” I fainted after these words. I don’t remember how I came to my senses, how I finished playing until the intermission. My legs were giving way and I was losing orientation.”
The actress admitted that she then understood that she had brought herself to this situation. After her divorce from her first husband, Arina’s dad, documentarian Vitaly Melik-Karamov, she went on tour and dealt with her personal life. The widows of Elena Proklova's lovers responded to her apology
Arina was with her grandmother almost all the time, only occasionally did her mother take her to her place. “Of course, she’s used to a different routine - home, school in the yard, friends, a caring grandmother,” says Elena Proklova. “And when I had her, I gave her tasks and showed up late in the evening. Of course she didn't like it. I realized for myself that I had missed the child. This was my parents' daughter."

The actress also recalled that Arina, at the age of 15-16, reproached her for being a bad mother. Meanwhile, Elena Proklova herself does not think so. She tried to do everything so that her heiress would not need anything.
“My concern was that she was well dressed and that there was the best food on the table,” says Proklova.

Over time, the relationship between mother and daughter warmed up. But even now Arina says that after her grandparents left, she feels orphaned, and even both parents cannot fill the void.
Elena Proklova now has a difficult relationship with her granddaughter Alisa. The girl is 21 years old, she is studying at an architectural institute and is not very eager to communicate with her famous grandmother.

“We see each other very rarely, and she calls once a year, when her mother has already knocked her on the head. I'm just calling to congratulate her on her birthday. This is how it is in our family - the younger ones should call the older ones. My youngest daughter and I are not invited to her celebration. I gave my granddaughter an apartment so she could live and study there. And I wasn’t even invited to the housewarming party. It’s insulting,” Proklova admitted.
Love to death
The actress was in no hurry to start a new serious relationship after such a marriage. But she never ceased to be popular with men. It seemed as if the most talented actors fell at Elena’s feet, wandered around her in flocks, and loved her to the point of madness.
For example, Andrei Mironov, who received the main role in “Be My Husband,” chose his partner for filming himself, and settled on Proklova. Having tried to hit on the actress, he was surprised to discover that she was having an affair with the father of the boy Philip who participated in the filming - set designer Alexander Adamovich
.
A married man's love for Proklova forced him to leave his family. They lived together for two years, after which the duty of husband and father returned Adamovich to his French wife and two children.
Soon Elena received news of her lover's death. In her circle they still say: “Adamovich died of longing for Lena.”
Eternal problem
Elena made several attempts to take Arina for herself. But she didn’t have enough time for her daughter. And the relationship did not always work out well. But love forced compromises. Arina was calm about the fact that her mother was trying to arrange her personal life. Proklova managed to raise her daughter in fits and starts. If she started to scold Arina for something, she went into a state of deep defense. Another conflict led to the girl deciding to move in with her grandmother again.

Arina did not study very well. I didn’t think about choosing a profession at all. Her father insisted on entering the Moscow Architectural Institute. However, the girl began dating a young man instead of lessons. Still, she entered the Moscow Architectural Institute. But she didn’t study for even a semester, deciding to withdraw the documents because she didn’t want to retake the session. At that moment, the father was very offended by his daughter. He said he wouldn't help her anymore. Then Arina asked Elena to help her with admission to the Moscow Art Theater. But Proklova managed to dissuade her daughter from deciding to become an artist. For some time Arina worked as a secretary, then she got married and gave birth to a daughter. But her marriage was short-lived. Soon a big scandal broke out in their friendly family...
Doctor Sasha
For a long time, Proklova perceived her second official husband only as an annoying admirer. He really fell in love with her acting talent at first, showered her with flowers and met her at the theater, which only caused the actress’s dissatisfaction. But for ten whole years he firmly believed that this was “his” woman and that she would come to him herself.
Time passed and my daughter grew up. One day, Arina was admitted to the hospital with a disappointing diagnosis: the girl had an ulcer. One of the actors, sympathizing with Elena, gave the address of the famous doctor Alexander Deryabin. Elena immediately rushed to him. Imagine her surprise when the door was opened by that same admirer.
At first, Arina began to recover, and then serious passion flared up between Sasha and Lena. They soon got married, but Arina didn’t like her stepfather: he put her on a tasteless diet, what kind of child would love such a doctor, Sasha?!
Tragedy
That marriage marked the beginning of a drama that would force Elena to leave the stage for eight long years. But everything started well: the young people began to dream of a child. The happiness of the couple knew no bounds when it turned out that Proklova was pregnant with twins! But after the birth it turned out that both sons were too weak to live. They died less than a minute after birth. Realizing this, Proklova lost consciousness.
Elena went into deep depression, the meaning of life was lost. She thought that God was punishing her in this way for her early glory, for her success.
Instead of being there and comforting his wife, Deryabin also closed in on himself. Later, Elena will say that at that time they both had somewhere to escape from grief, and at that time they had not yet acquired serious family traditions and warmth. The tragedy ended in divorce.
Elena's personal life
The actress was married three times and had numerous affairs with famous personalities. Among the beloved were such stars as O. Yankovsky, A. Mironov, L. Prygunov, decorator A. Adamovich, M. Volontir.
The actress got married for the first time at the age of 18. Her husband was film director V. Melik-Karamov. After being married for 4 years, the actress gave birth to a girl, Arina, and divorced her husband.
The second husband of the actress was the doctor A. Deryabin, in whose marriage Elena gave birth to twin sons. The boys died almost immediately after birth.
The actress entered into her next alliance with businessman A. Trishin, who was a close friend of her brother. First, the actress gave birth to a boy, but he died a week after birth. And after 10 years of marriage, the couple had a daughter. Elena Proklova and her husband named her Polina. The couple separated after living together for 30 years.
Overcoming
Elena went to her brother for reassurance. After some time she had to receive a guest. Her brother's friend, eight years younger than Proklova, struck her heart at first sight. The day after we met Andrey Trishin
took her with him to St. Petersburg, and then to a long, happy life.
However, it didn't start out easy. The marriage of an ordinary builder and a famous actress was called a misalliance. The new stepfather seemed very young to my daughter - he was only 25, the girl did not accept him. But that wasn't the worst thing.
The dark streak that began for Elena in her last marriage continued with Andrey. The long-awaited pregnancy ended with the birth of a weak son, who spent a whole week in a special box and then suddenly died. This time the right words of consolation were found. The tragedy brought the lovers closer together and forced them to fight for their happiness. But the next pregnancy brought Proklova to the hospital already in the sixth month, and an incorrect diagnosis deprived the happy couple of another child.
By the age of forty, the actress terminates all contracts and takes her health seriously. She will never regret the decision to leave both the stage and the camera. But a careful examination will reveal the cause of the series of tragedies: Lena’s blood is too thick, which simply does not pass through the placenta, which impedes the development of the fetus.
