Igor Kostolevsky: the filmography of a romantic handsome man

This is his hero - actor Igor Voloshin, concluded a fictitious marriage to take out of Tashkent a malnutrition-stricken nurse. This is his hero - Yura, fooled a young teacher from Verkhnejarsk, and when he realized that he was losing the girl, the time had already irretrievably gone. This is his hero - tennis player Tony Vendis, fearing that his rich wife would prefer him to a lover, hired his classmate to kill a woman. This is his hero - the son of Comrade Miloserdov. Yes, it's him, Igor Matveyevich Kostolevsky. The filmography of this actor of Soviet and Russian cinema represents a huge range of characteristic characters.

Childhood

The future People's Artist of Russia was born on September 10, 1948 in Moscow. The family was well-off and had nothing to do with art. Igor Kostolevsky's father was the head of ExportLess.

Little Igor often hooliganed. The actor says almost nothing about this in an interview, and journalists can not believe that a child growing up in such an intelligent family could be the source of a huge number of problems for his parents. He spoiled his brother's drawings for the sake of an ordinary joke. At school, too, not everything was successful. It used to happen that Igor was expelled from the class for tricks that madly angered the teachers.

"Hello, MCHAT, here I am"

Parents dreamed that Igor Kostolevsky (his filmography arouses sincere envy of many actors) will receive a serious specialization, which will later help their son to settle in the big world. The young man goes to the Moscow Civil Engineering Institute, but this does not bring him much pleasure. Therefore, after suffering a couple of years, he takes the documents.

Once his girlfriend compared him with Yesenin and tried to convey to him the idea that his chic appearance simply asks for the screen. Wanting to make an impression on the chosen one, the future actor Kostolevsky, whose filmography is still being replenished with new works, enters the School-Studio of the Moscow Art Theater. Examinations were extremely exciting for him, because he did not have any acting experience at all, and he only learned one work that he read in one breath. He was asked to come in a year. Kostolevsky, whose filmography was about to be filled, decided to go to GITIS, which he managed.

Parents of this act of his son did not learn right away, but they were unable to correct the situation and cope with the self-willed offspring.

Kostolevsky was one of the best graduates of GITIS, and he was expected in many theaters of the capital. The actor chose the Academic Theater named Mayakovsky (artistic director - Andrey Goncharov). The young rebel was not used to the director's screams and played at first tight. But later everything got better. For the first time on the stage, he looked somewhat tired. Later, having got used to the traditions and rules prevailing here, even complained about a small number of roles.

Unlike the cinematic productions, where Kostolevsky, whose filmography is stunningly versatile, played romantic handsome heroes, he was offered a role in the theater that was sharp. He still with special warmth remembers his work in the graduation performance "Wild Woman" (the role was serious, age).

Heavy perestroika years led to the fact that Kostolevsky signed a contract with the theater in Norway, where he was able to get the role he had long dreamed of - the Bulletin in the Oresteia. A few years later he again played in this play, but another role - Apollo, which was also good for him.

Coming to the troupe of the Mayakovsky Theater, Igor Matveyevich became one of the leading actors. He was involved in 12 performances per year (for an artist this is more than successful). And the audience could enjoy his talented play.

Life in the cinema

The debut role in the film industry in Kostolevsky happened in the family drama "Family as a family". A little later in his creative biography, the work on the film "The Captivating Happiness Star" burst in, which gave him the role of a romantic hero. Another breakthrough in the film is the role of Marina Mirou in the "Nameless Star". Later there were the famous "Teheran-43", "Veseny call", "Legal marriage", "Entrance to the labyrinth", "Square", "Time of happiness". In each project was unique and talented Kostolevsky Igor Matveyevich. The filmography of the actor was very quickly filled with roles, thanks to which the audience learned to empathize and love, take care and be true.

The actor starred in the pictures of the detective genre, which he was captivated in his childhood. To the role of the hero-romanticist were added and negative characters. This positively affected the number of his roles in the cinema.

Two love of Igor Kostolevsky

Igor Matveyevich does not consider it necessary to devote strangers to his personal life. Therefore, despite the fact that fans seek to learn about him at least some information, he carefully protects the peace of his family.

Igor Kostolevsky lived with his first wife (actress Elena Romanova) for twenty years. They had a wonderful son who was already thirty. Acquaintance with the future wife happened on the set of the old good movie "Leave at Your Own expense", in which they played the groom and the bride. Their relationship developed very quickly. While the shootings were going on, the young people looked like parakeets-inseparers.

After finishing the work on the film, they got married, and soon a son was born. Kostolevsky constantly cared about his family. When my son grew a little, my wife returned to the theater to work. They often played in some performances. It seemed that the idyll would be eternal.

But in the life of the actor appeared another woman - French Consuelo de Aviland. They met in Norway, where they were partners in the play "Oresteia". Actor Igor Kostolevsky, filmography Which at that time was a huge list, was still married to Elena. After the divorce, he created a new family with Consuelo. As Igor Matveyevich himself says, from this day his life filled with new meaning. Spouses leave for a while only when Consuelo goes to France to visit his mother. Lovers want to be together 24 hours a day. Kostolevsky's acquaintances say that only now he is really happy, because his second wife loves not himself, but his.
