Parents' love story
Our heroine’s mother, Tamara Ivanovna, fell in love with Vyacheslav Tikhonov in the 8th grade. The teenage girl watched films with his participation several times. And one day she dreamed that she was marrying the artist Tikhonov. The schoolgirl did not attach much importance to this. However, the dream turned out to be prophetic.
10 years later she met Vyacheslav within the walls of Mosfilm. By that time, Tamara had managed to graduate from the Faculty of Philology of Moscow State University and get a job as a French teacher at a school on Arbat. And at Mosfilm she worked part-time, translating scenes from the foreign film A Man and a Woman.
24-year-old Tamara captivated the famous artist with her openness, natural beauty and sense of humor. Tikhonov was not at all embarrassed by the fact that the potential bride was 16 years younger than him. They both had unsuccessful marriages behind them. In addition, for two summers Tamara had an affair with a Frenchman named Michel. But for the sake of Vyacheslav Vasilyevich, she crossed out her foreign groom from her life.
In 1967, the couple got married. Tikhonov's friends and colleagues were confident that this marriage would be long and strong. And they were right.

There are not so many people left who are truly close and dear to Tikhonov. The artist’s first wife, Nonna Mordyukova, has been gone for a long time. Vyacheslav Vasilyevich also buried his first-born son Vladimir who died in 1990. In his second, long and calm marriage with translator Tamara, the actor had a daughter, Anna.

“Dad said that this profession takes a lot: you have to often leave home, film for a long time without a break, and endure unfavorable conditions. All this then affects the family. Even if everything goes well for a person, there is always another side to the coin. For example, dad himself was rarely at home. In childhood, his absence was still felt when he acted a lot. Of course, I really missed you,” she said.

Anna Tikhonova always remembers her dad fondly and loves to talk about him. The woman says that Tikhonov was a wonderful father and attentive grandfather. Even despite being very busy, crazy popular, and constantly filming, he tried to spend as much time with his family as his work allowed him. For example, when Anna was a little girl, he prepared for roles with her so as not to waste precious minutes. True, the rehearsals did not have the best effect on little Anya - the girl began to stutter.
“He said that when I was little, he was preparing for the role of Private Streltsov in the film “They Fought for the Motherland.” His character had to stutter. And dad rehearsed this stutter at home. Then I started repeating after him. It got to the point that stuttering became a habit for me,” said Anna Tikhonova.
