Michelle Mercier - failures in love and the battle of “Angelique” against cancer

Geoffrey de Peyrac: prototype and hero

First of all, it is worth understanding what character we are talking about. The image of Geoffrey de Peyrac made an indelible impression on the audience. He is one of the main characters in the novels about Angelica, the husband of the main character. Physical deformity did not prevent this man from winning the heart of a young beauty, even if she was forced to become his wife. Angelica was never able to forget her lover when fate separated them.

Anne Golon is the woman thanks to whom such a bright and original character as Geoffrey de Peyrac was born. The prototype of the hero is the writer’s husband Serge, with whom she co-authored a series of books about the adventures of Angelique.

Angelica

Anzhelika (Lika) Lika lives in the apartment that her beloved grandmother left her, studies well and dreams of only one thing - to lose weight. Having received what she wanted, Lika, in the image of a slender beauty, introduces herself to everyone as the fat woman’s sister and goes to university for her. In addition to the difference in 49 kg, the “sisters” differ in makeup, hairstyles, clothes and self-confidence. New Lika wins in everything except studies. Kristina A bright and attractive classmate and friend of Lika. He knows how to achieve what he wants by any means and actively applies this skill to everything and everyone. Christina may resort to blackmail; have an affair with a teacher in order to pass a coursework; betray a loved one by succumbing to someone else's influence. Zhenya Lika’s friend and group leader, a “gray mouse” obsessed with studying and her teacher Roman Alekseevich. At first Zhenya loves him from afar. But she soon understands how to attract his attention, and one day she changes the style of a modest excellent student to the exact opposite. Nikita A student of the Faculty of Journalism, a popular VJ of the ZTV music channel and just a handsome guy. He does not pay attention to Lika until her second, slender self appears. Only Lika's new figure helps Nikita to see the great soul in her and change for the better. Ulyana The most beautiful girl at the institute. Attends classes to communicate with Nikita and plot intrigues. She mocks Lika until her thin “sister” appears, in whom Ulyana no longer sees a laughing stock, but a real competitor. Then she begins to actively eliminate her rival in all possible ways. Lyokha is the main joker and cheerful person on the course. Nikita's best friend. Lekha is ready to court any pretty girl, loves to have fun, hates studying and keeps a secret that even his best friend doesn’t know about. Dean A powerful and lonely woman who sometimes takes it out on students. She lacks male attention and is haunted by the presence of a new lover with her ex-husband. The dean's wife shows sympathy not only for her subordinate, but even for the student. Lika's mother, wife of a deputy. Lives outside the city with her husband and daughter from her second marriage. Lika's mother takes care of herself, her life and her affairs. He treats his eldest daughter rather indifferently until she becomes attractive in the eyes of her mother’s deputy. Roman Alekseevich Teacher at the Faculty of Journalism. Young, handsome and in love with his own student. Roman Alekseevich is positive, correct and honest. If he is dating a girl, he is going to get married; if he promises her father to end the relationship, he suffers, but breaks up. Kirill Rumyantsev Lika's childhood friend. He lives in the apartment across the street and loves to visit Lika. Not as simple and kind as it might seem at first glance. On occasion, he can easily deceive and betray. Zhanna Ex-wife of Roman Alekseevich. Bitch. Careerist. Vampire woman. He holds the position of deputy dean of the institute and teaches “Legal Fundamentals of Journalism.” She lives in her ex-husband’s apartment and tries in every way to get him back.

Love line

The family forces the main character to accept the proposal of a rich aristocrat, as she needs money. At first she feels disgust for the husband who was forced on her, then gradually his virtues are revealed to her. Geoffrey is a man of innumerable talents. He studies science and engineering, travels a lot, writes poetry and plays music. The hero managed to become so rich and powerful that he aroused the envy of King Louis XIV himself. The ruler of France ensured that the “enemy” was sentenced to death. The main character, convinced that her other half is no more, is forced to fight for survival.

Angelique and Geoffrey de Peyrac are not parting forever. There comes a moment when the audience learns that the supposedly executed count actually escaped death. Having managed to survive, he is forced to go into hiding, which prompts him to turn into a pirate. Geoffrey is desperately trying to reunite with the woman he loves, however, unexpected obstacles keep hindering him.

Actor biography

The above describes the character, but who played him? Robert Hossein is the man who received this honor. The future performer of the role of the count was born in Paris, this happened in December 1927. The actor was born into a musical family, his father Andre was a violinist, and his mother Anna was a pianist. Among Robert's ancestors there are Tajiks, Azerbaijanis, and Jews.

Ossein mastered the Russian language perfectly in his childhood. This is the merit of his mother, whose family was forced to leave Kyiv during the revolutionary years. The future actor was barely 15 when he began studying in a theater studio. Then Robert completed Rene Simon's courses and began to get roles in plays. He managed to gain the greatest popularity in the “Grand Guignol”, which is known as a “theater of horrors”.

First successes

Robert Hossein first appeared on the set in 1948 - he made his debut in the film “Memories Are Not for Sale.” Then films with his participation begin to be released one after another: “Maya”, “Blonde Embankment”, “Black Series”, “Men Showdown”, “Scoundrels Go to Hell”. The last of the films mentioned also became his directorial debut.

In 1956, the French film adaptation of Dostoevsky’s work “Crime and Punishment” was presented to the audience. Director Georges Lampin offered the key role to Robert. This decision was made, among other things, due to the fact that the actor speaks excellent Russian.

Filming in Crime and Punishment allowed Hossein to become a sought-after actor. He played one main role after another, for example, in the films “You Are Poison”, “Freedom Under Surveillance”, “Night of the Spies”, “Beware, Girls”. The status of his on-screen partner for several years belonged to Marina Vladi, to whom the future performer of the role of the count was married for some time.

[edit] Interesting facts

• The series produced two pilot episodes with different casts. In the first version of the series:

Nikita

— Vasily Raksha (now Igor Lantratov);
Vika (now Ulyana)
- Marusya Zykova (now Natalya Bardo)[2].

• To transform into fat Lika, actress Anzhelika Kashirina had plastic makeup applied to her face and neck for two hours[3], then another hour was spent on makeup and hairstyle[4].
• The name of the actress who played the main role is Anzhelika Kashirina, which is similar to the name of her character - Anzhelika Vershinina.
• In the deputy’s house there is a photo from the series “Molodezhka”, which depicts Sergei Komarov together with Alexander Sokolovsky.

Finest hour

Hossein became a sought-after actor several years before the film Angelique, Marquise of the Angels was released. However, it was the film adaptation of the works of Anne and Serge Golon that gave him star status. The role of director was taken by Bernard Borderie, who had already become famous thanks to the filming of the film version of The Three Musketeers. It was he who managed to convince Hossein that the role of Count Geoffrey was up to him.

The film Angelica, Marquise of Angels received mixed reviews from critics. The scriptwriters were reproached for allowing themselves some deviations from the plot. However, the audience greeted the story about the adventures of the brave Angelica and her mysterious husband with delight.

Of course, Bernard Borderie did not limit himself to releasing one part of the story. “Angelica and the King”, “Indomitable Angelica” - films in which viewers again meet their favorite characters, including the allegedly executed count. It becomes known that the character not only escaped death, but also managed to make a name for himself in the pirate world. As the invincible Rescator, he battles the royal fleet at sea.

Angelica in films

The series of works gained popularity among readers and became a source of inspiration for the French director Bernard Borderie. Borderi invited young actress Michelle Mercier and actor Robert Hossein to play the leading roles in the film.

Michelle Mercier as Angelica
The audience liked Angelica, whose image Mercier embodied on the screen. The actress’s striking beauty, chiseled figure, charm, ability to wear historical dresses, and eroticism formed an unforgettable film image. However, the writers were not happy with the film adaptations of the novels. In their opinion, in the films the heroine was not presented with such a multifaceted, original nature as in the texts.

In 2013, filmmakers again became interested in the plots of the books of the Golon spouses. In 2013, a version directed by Ariel Zeitoun was released. The role of the beautiful Angelica in the movie was played by actress Nora Arnezeder. The heroine was no longer fragile and weak, which film critics attributed to the influence of feminist trends. Geoffrey has changed - the hero is endowed with an impeccable appearance, which is radically at odds with the original text.

Other film works

First of all, this man was remembered by the audience as Geoffrey de Peyrac. The actor can be proud of other bright roles. In the drama “I Killed Rasputin” he brilliantly embodied the image of one of the key characters - Sergei Sukhotin. The plot, as the title suggests, revolves around the murder of a famous old man. Hossein is not only the performer of one of the central roles, but also the director of the film. He consulted a lot with eyewitnesses of the events and their descendants in order to tell the audience the mysterious story of Rasputin’s death as reliably as possible.

The actor played a prominent role in the crime film “Time of Wolves.” It is also impossible not to note the image of the commissioner that Robert created in the action-packed film “The Professional”. Interestingly, this picture was very popular in our country in the early 90s.

Viewers who liked the acting duo of Hossein and Michelle Mercier (performer of the role of Angelique) should definitely pay attention to other films with the participation of this tandem. In total, the stars met on the set about eight times. In addition to “Angelica,” the duet can be seen in the films “Heavenly Thunder,” “The Second Truth,” and “Cemetery Without Crosses.”

Revelations of Angelica Agurbash’s first husband: “She always left men on her own”

The story of the divorce of singer Angelica Agurbash and sausage millionaire Nikolai Agurbash is coming to its logical conclusion. The Moscow court will make its decision on August 27. Let us remember that the initiator of the divorce after 11 years of marriage was Angelica. She says she’s tired... But for some reason it was her husband who brought the application to court.

Ten days before the official decision of the judge, Komsomolskaya Pravda found the singer’s past husbands. It turned out that the news that Angelica was getting divorced again did not surprise them! Were already aware...

First husband, actor Igor LENEV: “I wanted to separate, but Anzhelika filed for divorce”

The singer met her first love, Igor Lenev, when she was still in the 10th grade. And not in some school canteen, but on the set in the Belarusfilm pavilions.

“She was 16 years old then,” the actor recalls. — I had just graduated from VGIK then, and I was assigned to Minsk at Belarusfilm. The first time I saw Lika was on the set of the film “The Director's Exam” (in this film the singer made her debut as an actress. - Author). We met and ran away on the same day. I didn't even write down my phone number. But for some reason her image, face and manner of communication remained in my head. And it so happened that six months later, in the spring, we met again and all at the same Belarusfilm. That's when our whirlwind romance began. We met, fell in love...

-And got married?

—They decided to sign when Lika became pregnant in July,” Lenev confesses to Komsomolskaya Pravda. - True, then in the Soviet Union they were only allowed to go to the registry office from the age of 18, and Lika was only 17. She had to wait a whole month for permission from the executive committee. Allowed! We got married at the end of November. We got married at the Frunzensky registry office in Minsk, and had a wedding party at the Belaya Vezha. There were about 50 guests. The witnesses were school friends. Angelica was wearing a floor-length white dress. They gave me money - about 1000 rubles. And since, after graduating from college, my father transferred his one-room apartment on Pushkin Avenue to me, all the donated money was used for household needs: we bought a new kitchen, a washing machine...

1988 The first beauty contest in Belarus. Lika Yalinskaya (numbered two) is no longer only a wife, but also a mother. But this did not stop him from winning the crown.

Angelica did not want to take her husband’s last name. I didn't like the combination of Lika Lenev. They say that the girlish Yalinskaya is more suitable for a career as an artist. In the same year, she entered GITIS and the Moscow Art Theater School in Moscow, but since she was pregnant, the family council decided that she would study in Minsk. Igor missed the birth of his daughter - he was at the audition for the film “Regional Emergency” in St. Petersburg.

-I was given the main role. And when the director asked me to go up on stage at the studio to enter the frame, they told me that they were calling from Minsk. I pick up the phone, and there my mother shouts: “Lika gave birth!” I say: “Who?” She: “Girl!” And everything flew out of my head: both the auditions and the filming. I remember that the assistant asked: “Are you going to play?” And I told her: “No! My wife gave birth!”

Igor chose the name for my daughter. He named him Dasha in honor of his great-grandmother. And he gave his daughter his last name. By the way, Dasha wore it until she was 18, and then she decided to take her mother’s more sonorous one - Yalinskaya. Like, I’ll also become a singer. By the way, Lika herself did not initially intend to become a singer. Only in her second year did she suddenly feel the urge to sing.

...but this swimsuit was sewn especially for the competition by the singer’s mother Valentina Mikhailovna

“I remember coming home, she was standing in the kitchen and crying,” says Lenev. “I ask her: “Why are you crying?”, and she: “I want to sing!” I took her to the folk choir, but she didn’t like it there. And then there was the beauty contest “Minsk Jumper - 88” (in the press it is often passed off as “Miss Belarus - 1988.” - Author). The most important thing is that Lika needed to find a swimsuit. I bought two lurex scarves from the gypsies at once. One is silver, the second is gold. And her mother Valentina Mikhailovna cut them out according to the model of an ordinary swimsuit and sewed a fashionable, bright one. Vasily Rainchik was sitting on the jury at the competition at that time; I already knew him by that time. We agreed with him that after the competition he would listen to it.

-Did you listen?

- I listened... They wrote a special song for her, “My Most,” based on Neklyaev’s poems, and Lika toured the country with “Tender May.” She performed as their opening act. It was after our divorce that she went to Verasy.

Lika (at the pillar) did not finish her studies at the theater, she became interested in the stage

-Who decided to get a divorce?

-I always had performances at the Film Actor’s Studio Theater. Plus filming. And Lika is always on tour, traveling. And what's the result? The child is constantly with his parents. I remember my mother asked me: “Who do you need: a singer or a wife?” And I told Lika to pack her things and leave. There were no tears or hysterics. But I didn't file for divorce. She served. It’s only been a year since we stopped living together. It didn’t matter to me whether there was a stamp in my passport or not. My daughter was 2 years old at the time. No property was divided. Lika only took the radio, the guitar and the vase that were handed to her at the Minsk Jumper.

Igor did not pay alimony. And she says that Lika didn’t ask.

-If she needed money from me, she would have told me. In this regard, she is a rather open person,” says Lenev.

-And Angelica said in one of her interviews that the reason for the divorce was regular infidelity...

- Even before the wedding, she knew that I had an affair with Dilor Kambarova, Honored Artist of the Uzbek SSR. And in fact, Dilorom was supposed to be my wife,” Lenev admits. — Dilya was also an actress. She played in the films “The Seventh Bullet”, “Pirates of the 20th Century”, etc. And then she moved to live in the States and regularly wrote letters to me from there. Lika read them all and knew about our relationship. I remember that even on the second day of the wedding, Dilya called and congratulated me, and Lika listened to everything in the next room on a wired telephone. And then she came to me in tears to sort things out, I told her: “I married you!” But then I still loved another woman, Dilya. We lived in Lika for three years and separated on the fourth. Dasha was first raised by my parents, and then Angelica wanted to take her with her. I didn't mind. Moreover, we have maintained good, reverent relations. We saw each other regularly, walked with my daughter in Gorky Park. And a year after our divorce, I made the film “About Her, But Without Her,” where Lika played the main role. There have never been any scandals or shouting in our family... No one even swore! It was only later that she began dating the athlete Valera. She also introduced me to him. She told me that this man loved her all the time, dreamed of her. He approached her himself after one concert, and everything began.

Today, Angelica Agurbash’s first husband stars in Russian TV series and movies. You can see Lenev, for example, in the first episodes of “Kamenskaya”

-Do you know what’s going on in Lika’s personal life now?

-Yes! I heard from my daughter Dasha that she and Nikolai are getting a divorce. I am upset, of course, that everything is like this for them... In my opinion, they lived well - in abundance, so many children! We were happy! I knew Nikolai. We met three years ago at Daria's birthday. He impressed me as a normal guy. Lika always showed that he was the man of her dreams. Even in front of me, she defiantly hugged him and stroked him. I remember, and he sat and looked at me and said: “Well, let's have another glass.” Their union did not evoke any emotions in me. Yes, I saw that he loved her too. Last year's entire concert in the Kremlin was dedicated to love. Nikolai was the general producer there and invested a lot of money in this show. True, already at this concert Dasha told me that they were on the verge of breaking up. Why do they get divorced? Yes, because that’s not the kind of man she needed. She is a more refined person, she wants to rise higher, and he, although he has money, is so down to earth. Absolutely not hers. Besides, he is older than her. He will soon be 60. The difference between him and Angelica is almost 20 years (she is 42. - Author). Not only age works here, but also consciousness. He began to look at the world differently and began to control and squeeze her more. And she started a riot on the ship. Men don't forgive this.

In her first marriage, at the age of 17, Angelica gave birth to a daughter. Today Dasha is already 24 years old.

Second husband, athlete Valery BIZYUK: “It was more of an attraction than love for life”

Lika and Valery never made it to the registry office. They lived in a civil marriage. Bodybuilding coach Valery Bizyuk doesn’t really want to remember the six years he lived together with Angelica. He says he doesn't like to live in the past. And he doesn’t want to offend their son Nikita with all sorts of stories about his loved ones.

-It was more like some kind of attraction than love for life. There was passion,” Valery nevertheless shared with us. “I was everything to Lika at once: a husband, a director, and a security guard.” We met at the “Minsk Jumper” competition. Yes, Angelica was still married then. But we were just friends. And then, when I found out that she was divorced, I began to look after her. There were signs of attention, a candy-bouquet period that lasted for six years... We lived in my apartment on Mogilevskaya, in the same house as Lika’s mother.

-Why didn’t you get married?

-I even do not know why. This means that such a life suited us.

-Which one is it?

-When nothing obliges anyone. For six years we had all sorts of things.

The singer's common-law husband, athlete Valery Bizyuk was everything to Angelica: husband, director, and security guard.

-Well, yes, I even heard that at first you weren’t very happy about the appearance of your son...

-I don’t remember this... (Thinking.) But now I understand that being a father of three sons is great! The eldest, from his first marriage, is now an adult guy, over 20... Nikita, Lika and I’s son, is 15. I communicate with him, although very rarely... He’s studying in London now. Nikita is simply my copy, only 40 years younger. Well, today my five-year-old is growing up from his third marriage.

...and on stage

Valery heard about Lika’s current divorce from his students (he works as an instructor at a fitness club in the capital’s Sports Palace), but did not go into details. Not interested.

- Somebody from Ukrainian TV once came to see me for the program “Wives of Millionaires,” but I didn’t communicate with them. It was Angelica who gave them my number. “I don’t live in the past,” Bizyuk ended the conversation.

Their common 15-year-old son Nikita is studying in London today and, like his dad, loves to play sports

AND AT THIS TIME

In 11 years, Nikolai Agurbash earned $129 from Angelica!

The love story of Nikolai Agurbash and Angelica seemed like a real fairy tale. And the singer herself has repeatedly emphasized that she, like Cinderella, “came to her hearth through trials and difficulties.” For the sake of marriage, the singer even changed her stage name from Lika Yalinskaya to Anzhelika Agurbash. This happened in 2001. And then she recorded a dozen songs about the man of her dreams. About the fact that she was “taken to Moscow by a good guy.” About “holy autumn, September 7th” (the day they got married). About the fact that her “life begins with the Nikolaev flock” (Agurbash is a famous pigeon breeder, there are about 2000 pigeons in his collection). Angelica also sang about sausage...

Over the 11 years of living with Agurbash, Lika has become accustomed to basking in luxury

Nikolai, in turn, also showered his wife with flowers, diamonds... He arranged surprises for his beloved. Once I even planted a hundred lilac bushes for her under the windows of the house. And he didn’t regret spending several million dollars on preparations for Eurovision. What kind of discord in the family is there, let alone divorce?

But! His relatives disliked his father's young wife. Nikolai’s mother Alexandra Grigorievna actually thought that the Belarusian woman had cast a love spell on her son. They calmed down only when the newlyweds signed a marriage contract on March 6, 2003. The contract stipulated that all acquired property, if anything happened, would remain with Nikolai, and Angelica would only have jewelry and her personal bank deposits. A year after the registry office, Angelica and Nikolai got married in Minsk. Moreover, Filaret himself married them. And in 2004, they had a son, who was named by the Greek name Anastas. Even in this, Angelica tried to please her husband, a Greek by birth.

-Yes, I am the general producer of Angelica, but to be honest, I only make key decisions. In other specialized issues in this area, I entrust the work to professionals. This is not my main occupation, and it does not bring in any money yet: Angelica jokingly assigned me a salary of one dollar a month, but lately I have been forgetting to receive it. I became Angelica's general producer only because it gives me great pleasure to participate in everything she does. Yes, I am immensely proud of my wife! - Agurbash said in an interview in 2005.

By the way, we calculated that over 11 years of marriage, Nikolai Agurbash earned $129 as a producer (counted from September 2001, when we got married, to May of this year, when we separated).

Angelica Agurbash. "The man of my dreams."

The first thunder struck in the family in 2008 - in the seventh year of marriage. Angelika had already taken the children and moved to her mother in Minsk for the whole summer. But love won! Then, back in 2010, there was a rumor that Agurbash were getting a divorce. Then, right on stage at the “New Wave” in Jurmala, Alexander Buinov passionately kissed Angelica. It turned out to be banal PR.

From her third marriage to Agurbash, Angelica has an 8-year-old son, Anastas.

Now it seems that everything is very serious. Nikolai went on vacation to Greece until the end of the summer and changed his mobile number. Angelica herself is sitting in a Moscow apartment in the Krylatsky Hills, to which Nikolai brought her before the wedding with the words “I’m giving you this apartment...”. He is recording songs and preparing for his next solo album in December in the Kremlin. By the way, she also managed to sing about divorce. Looks like he's just around the corner.

Angelica and Nikolay Agurbash signed a marriage contract in their second year of marriage

TASTES COULD NOT BE DISCUSSED

Angelica loves athletic and older men

Komsomolskaya Pravda compared the singer’s three husbands and found a lot in common in them

1. All of Angelica’s husbands were older than her. Today Igor is 54, Valery is 53, Nikolai is 58. 2. All three are actively involved in sports. Igor - horse riding and boxing. Valery is a bodybuilding trainer. Nikolai is a boxer. 3. Before meeting Angelica, all three had other families that they left for her.

Ossein and Vladi

Of course, fans cannot help but be interested in the personal life of the man who played Geoffrey de Peyrac. In 1955, Robert decided to give up his freedom for the first time; the movie star Marina Vladi became his chosen one. The first couple of years of their marriage, the couple gave the impression of an ideal couple, they practically never separated, including on the set. Then quarrels began, which led to divorce. The relationship between Marina and Robert ended in 1959.

The movie star gave Hossein two children. The boys were named Igor and Peter; they did not follow in their parents’ footsteps. The eldest son is engaged in cultivation of pearls, the youngest chose a career as a musician.

Second and third wife

Soon after breaking up with Vladi, Hossein again tied the knot. His choice fell on screenwriter Caroline Elyashev - the actor lived with this woman for about 15 years. The second wife gave the performer the role of Geoffrey de Peyrac a son, Nicolas. For some time he acted in films, then chose the life of a rabbi in Strasbourg.

The actor also broke up with his third wife, Marie-France. His fourth wife, Candace, with whom he is currently married, gave birth to his fourth son, Julien. It is known that Robert and Candice’s romance began with the fact that he invited her to play in his film “Les Miserables,” which was released in 1982.

Angelica and the King (1966)

The third film adaptation of the novels of the Golon couple, which thundered throughout Europe, was the film “Angelique and the King,” which was released in 1966. The life journey of the fatal beauty Angelica, who is worthy of the love of the King of France himself, continues. France in the 17th century was ruled by Louis, who went down in history as a great sensualist and intriguer. Here the adventurer is caught up in palace conspiracies, endless intrigues, political conflicts and new challenges. The heroine is fighting for her love, while other characters are fighting for the right to possess a beautiful woman. Thus, a tension is created in the film that captures and captivates the audience. Scenes of the film were filmed in Versailles, so the film turned out to be historically reproduced very close to that era. Other parts of the film were filmed in real estates and castles in France.

An amazingly beautiful film has the energy of positivity and hope. It really lifts your spirits and instills confidence that if you believe in the best and strive for your goal, success will come. In the film, viewers have the opportunity to see the Louvre, not yet spoiled by its glass reconstruction, its historical architecture.
