Deceased musicians. Stars who died young
In this post I will tell you about the most mysterious deaths of Russian celebrities who died under strange and inexplicable circumstances. I advise you to read it; further you will learn a lot of interesting information.
Vasily Shukshin
His last year of life was very successful... Sergei Bondarchuk offered Shukshin the role of Lopakhin in the film “They Fought for the Motherland.” Filming began in August 1974 on the Don. By the beginning of October, Shukshin had almost completely completed the role; he only had to star in the last episode. On October 4 he was supposed to return to Moscow...
On October 1, Shukshin felt well. He called home from the post office in Moscow, went to the bathhouse, and watched the USSR-Canada hockey match on TV until late at night with everyone else. At the end of it they separated. At about nine in the morning Burkov went out into the corridor with the intention of waking up Shukshin. He recalls: “I knocked on Shukshin’s door. The door was not locked. But I didn’t go in. I was scared of something. I called out to him. It was time for him to get up for filming. He didn’t answer. Well, I think, let him sleep...”
From Burkov’s recollections: “I walked down the corridor and ran into Gubenko. “Nikolai,” I asked, “look at Vasya, he’s going to be filming soon, but for some reason he’s not getting up.” He came in. He started shaking him by the shoulder, the hand seemed lifeless, he touched the pulse, but it was not there. Shukshin died in his sleep, “from heart failure,” the doctors said.”
There is a version that on that fateful night a murder occurred on the ship “Danube”. After all, Vasily Makarovich never complained about his heart. Before filming, Shukshin underwent examination at the “Kremlin hospital.” According to some participants film crew, a day or two before the actor’s death, on the set where the film “They Fought for the Motherland” was filmed, some stranger. And no one knew where he came from and for what purpose he hung around there. And he disappeared immediately after the death of Vasily Makarovich.
Zoya Fedorova
On December 11, 1981, 71-year-old actress Zoya Fedorova was shot in the back of the head in her three-room apartment No. 243, building 4/2 on Kutuzovsky Prospekt. The murder has still not been solved. Among his possible motives are the actress’s alleged involvement in secret KGB operations (there were rumors about the KGB’s involvement in the murder) and her connection with the so-called “diamond mafia,” which consisted mainly of relatives of high-ranking officials Soviet officials and engaged in the purchase and resale of jewelry and antiques.
Victor Tsoi
On August 15, 1990, at 12:15 p.m., on the 35th km of the Soka-Talsi highway (Latvia), a dark blue Moskvich-2141 car collided with an Ikarus-280 regular bus. The driver of the Moskvich was famous musician, leader of the Kino group Viktor Tsoi.
Official version: “the car was moving along the highway at a speed of at least 130 km/h, the driver Viktor Robertovich Tsoi lost control. V.R. Tsoi’s death occurred instantly...”
From the case materials:
"Ikarus-250" drifted off the road into the small river Teitupe, behind the bridge... The driver J. K. Fibiks, who works at the Tallinn branch of Latselkhoztehnika, escaped with minor bruises and fright. Before that, he took a tourist group to the airport and was returning back.
The new "Moskvich-2141" Y6832 MM was thrown 18 meters towards the bridge by a powerful blow. Only the rear bumper remained intact. Upon examination, it is noticeable that the impact on the car occurred from left to right, front to back. Apparently, the front bumper of the Ikarus went over the hood of the Moskvich straight into the cabin. The steering wheel is bent on the driver's side, the seats are knocked down, and the front panel is broken. The hood flew off, everything else was crushed."
A forensic medical examination showed that no alcohol was found in the blood of the deceased. Death occurred as a result of an accident from multiple injuries to the body. No criminal case was initiated “due to the lack of corpus delicti in the actions of the drivers.” And, therefore, forensic, investigative and other examinations were not carried out.
Mike Naumenko
In August 1991, Mike Naumenko, the leader of the Zoo group, was found dead in his room in a communal apartment on Razyezzhaya Street: the cause of his death was a fracture of the base of the skull. Doctors determined that death occurred on August 27, 1991 from a cerebral hemorrhage.
The circumstances of his death remain largely mysterious. As rock journalist N. Kharitonov wrote: “With Tsoi, by at least, everything was clear - if not in essence, then in form - how it all happened. Mike... just disappeared without leaving any traces."
The drummer of the Zoo group, Valery Kirilov, expressed a different point of view: according to him, Mike Naumenko really died from a cerebral hemorrhage, but it did not occur due to natural causes, but due to a fracture of the base of the skull as a result of a brutal blow dealt to him in the yard in time of robbery. This is evidenced by the loss of Mike Naumenko’s personal belongings.
There are also testimony one teenager who allegedly saw Mike being lifted from the ground in the yard. After the attack, Mike did not die on the spot, but managed to go to his home, but there he completely weakened and lay unconscious for a long time, unnoticed by anyone in the communal apartment. When his loved ones finally found him and called an ambulance, it was already too late.
Alexey Rybin, producer of Mike Naumenko’s album of songs “Park of the MIKE Period,” had his own version: “Alcohol is to blame, of course. The night before his death, Vasin drank heavily. Mike was bad, very in serious condition, with a black face. In this state, falling with the back of your head on the asphalt is easy. Mike suffered a fracture of the base of his skull - a typical alcoholic death when a deeply intoxicated person falls on his back."
Igor Talkov
Igor Talkov was killed on October 6, 1991. It all happened at the Yubileiny Sports Palace in St. Petersburg: the singer was shot right outside the dressing room as a result of a scuffle with his concert director Valery Shlyafman and Igor Malakhov. The second possible suspect in the singer’s murder, Shlyafman, now lives in Israel. The criminal investigation into Talkov’s death was suspended several years ago, but was not closed.
During the investigation into Talkov's murder, his administrator Valery Shlyafman became one of the main suspects along with Aziza's bodyguard Igor Malakhov, who started a shootout on October 6, 1991. After a series of examinations, the investigation came to the conclusion that the last, fatal shot was fired from Shlyafman’s pistol.
The funeral of the legendary musician, who died at the peak of his fame, was crowded. The burial site is to this day a place of pilgrimage for connoisseurs of his work, and much mystical is associated with the grave itself, as with Talkov’s life.
Igor Sorin
According to the official version, Igor Sorin, the ex-soloist of the Ivanushki-International group, jumped from the sixth floor balcony of the Cosmos studio. At 7.10 am Igor was taken to the 71st city hospital. Doctors found a fracture of the first and fifth cervical vertebrae, bruised kidneys, complete paralysis of the lower body, and partial paralysis of the arms. The decision was made to operate. The operation was successful, but the artist’s heart could not stand it, and on September 4, the artist died.
Meanwhile, in July 2013, Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov told in an interview with Evgeny Dodolev (Moscow-24 channel) that in fact there was a manslaughter: Igor’s neck was accidentally broken and then thrown out of the window to hide the circumstances of his death . Grigoriev-Apollonov clarified that he visited Sorin in the hospital - he was still conscious. “He had no bruises. Will you fall from the seventh floor without bruises?” continued “red-haired Ivanushka.” “Some karateka just broke his neck.” In this regard, on August 29, 2013, State Duma deputy Nadezhda Shkolkina sent a request to the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Yu. Chaika with a request to conduct an investigation into the circumstances of the death former soloist group "Ivanushki - International" by Igor Sorin.
Mikhail Krug
On the night of June 30 to July 1, 2002, Krug’s house in the village of Mamulino (Tver microdistrict) was attacked. In addition to the singer, there were four more people in the house - his wife, mother-in-law and children. The door of the three-story house was open.
Two unknown intruders entered the third floor of the house approximately between 23:00 and 0:15, where they found Krug's mother-in-law and attacked her, causing her bodily harm. Mikhail Krug and his wife Irina came running to the woman’s screams. The criminals opened fire with pistols. Irina managed to hide with her neighbors, and Mikhail received two severe gunshot wounds, after which he lost consciousness for a while. The criminals fled the crime scene. Having come to his senses, Krug managed to get to the house of neighbor Vadim Rusakov, where his wife was hiding. Rusakov took him to Tver City Hospital No. 6. Meanwhile, the police and ambulance were called and found his wounded mother-in-law in Krug’s house. The children of the Circle were not harmed, as they were sleeping when the crime was committed. Mikhail Krug himself, despite the efforts of doctors, died on the morning of July 1.
The farewell service took place on July 3 at 10 a.m. in Tverskoy drama theater. The funeral was attended by Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Alexander Semchev, Efrem Amiramov, Katya Ogonyok, the Zhemchuzhny brothers, Vika Tsyganova, many leaders of the Tver region, including its governor, Vladimir Platov. The funeral procession of cars stretched for several kilometers. After the funeral service in the Resurrection Cathedral in Tver, Krug was buried in the Dmitrovo-Cherkassky cemetery.
Various versions of the murder were built. For example, producer Vadim Tsyganov suggested that this could be an attempted robbery. Shortly before the murder, Krug recorded an album under the working title “Tverichanka” (later released under the name “Confession”), for which he was supposed to receive a fee any day. This version was rejected by those who believed that Krug was sincerely respected in criminal circles, but it was this version that was the most popular in the early stages of the investigation. According to another version, Krug became the victim of a planned, and possibly contracted, murder.
Murat Nasyrov
According to the official version, Murat Nasyrov committed suicide. The prosecutor's office completed the investigation into the singer's death and, having found no evidence confirming the violent nature of his death, closed the case. On January 19, 2007, the singer jumped from the fifth floor, wearing a camera around his neck and clutching his own portrait to his chest.
The singer’s relatives stated: “For us, Murat’s death is still a mystery. But we know for sure: he definitely did not intend to die. But they could have pushed him to this!...
“Murat could have been poisoned,” says the singer’s brother. - This is our family's assumption. Three hours before the incident, he was sitting in a group, everyone was drinking a cocktail. Murat also drank. Then he left, and the girl Kristina from the company felt bad after the cocktail, she doesn’t even remember what happened to her next... And Murat came home...
From his brother’s story: “They show that Murat called Baglan Sadvakasov’s close friend from home: “Zhanna, everything is fine.” Do you know that he called from Natasha’s cell phone (the singer’s wife - approx.), which was at home? But Natasha herself was not at home When those events happened to Murat that he allegedly had an attack and wanted to commit suicide, they said that his daughter allegedly sent a message to her mother on her cell phone, but it turns out that she had a cell phone at home!”
“He was going to go somewhere. What happened, why did he dress so nicely? And then, where is that camera that they are all talking about?.. And then the fact itself: who saw that Murat fell from the window? It’s hard to understand the real reason find out. Murat took everything with him. But I am convinced: there was no suicide or accident."
Roman Trakhtenberg
The death of the famous showman, successful television and radio host Roman Trakhtenberg struck all his colleagues, close friends and the public. Roman Trakhtenberg was 41 years old, he said about himself that he had never been sick. On November 20, 2009, during a live broadcast of the “Trakhty-Bakhty” program on Mayak, he suddenly became ill.

The editors called an ambulance, but she didn’t I didn’t have time to take Roma to the hospital.”
According to the official conclusion of specialists, Trachtenberg died due to acute cardiovascular failure and coronary disease heart, he also had liver problems. Experts explained that the causes of death were obvious: Trachtenberg had a weak heart. An average dose of alcohol was found in Roman’s blood; there were no traces of drugs.

His friends said: “Volodya was supposed to stay in the clinic for 24 hours after the transfusion, but instead he immediately went home to spend the night.

So, on February 19, Vladislav Galkin withdrew $136,000 from the bank, which he intended to spend on renovations in an apartment purchased after separating from his wife. According to his father, the actor kept money at home (which the alleged customers and perpetrators of the crime might have known about); in addition, SMS messages containing threats were sent to Galkin Jr.’s phone, and a few days after the visit to the bank, bruises appeared on the actor’s face.

The father was also embarrassed by the presence of a bottle of cognac and a bag in the room next to the body. tomato juice: After Vladislav was diagnosed with pancreatitis, he stopped drinking alcohol and went on a diet.

At the same time, he lived on the second floor and, after suffering a stroke, had difficulty moving. The actor's eldest daughter Nadezhda claims that even if he could climb the stairs to the fifth floor on his own, it is unlikely that he could climb onto the windowsill.

No. 10. Yura Khoy
Leader of the Gaza Strip group. As a self-respecting outcast, he died from cirrhosis of the liver (according to the most official version - from heart attack). Did he know that eleven years later his bandmate would also give his soul into the clutches of the green serpent?
Video fragment of one of the concerts in the Gaza Strip. Song - “In the evening on a bench.”
Attention: profanity
No. 9. Vadim Glukhov
Guitarist of the band Gaza Strip. All Soviet boys picked out his guitar parts by ear, learning simple tunes with equally simple words. Now we will have to be content with what remains in the recording - Vadim will not play anything else: on January 18, 2011, he drank 8 bottles of Corvalol and joined the clan of the late rockers, poisoning himself with the ethyl alcohol contained in the medicine. Here are the lyrics:
No. 8. Victor Tsoi
Leader of the Kino group. Thanks to him, August 15 is considered a black day for all “Soviet youth”: it was on that fateful morning that the artist’s Muscovite encountered the ill-fated Ikarus near Riga. It is still believed that Tsoi fell asleep at the wheel.
No. 7. Igor Talkov
Until now, music historians cannot decide: who fired the fatal shot into the heart of the rock singer - Aziza Malakhov’s bodyguard, or Talkov’s administrator Valery Shlyafman? The only 100% fact is that Igor is no more.
No. 6. Jim Morrison
Leader of The Doors. There are still many options for his death: a heroin overdose in the Parisian club Rock-n-Roll Circus, an ordinary suicide, a staged suicide by the FBI, the presenter active struggle with members of the hippie movement and so on. No one knows the truth except Morrison's friend Pamela. But - bad luck - the girl died three years later from an overdose, without telling anyone anything.
No. 5. Jimi Hendrix
The greatest guitarist partly refutes the canons of rocker death: he is one of the few who actually died in bed. In bed with a lady, choking on vomit after taking 9 sleeping pills. In an apartment filled with drugs - it was because of them that Jimmy’s girlfriend was afraid to call an ambulance, leaving the musician to die.
No. 4. Sid Vicious
The bassist of the famous punk band Sex Pistols, once again released from prison, took some heroin. Yes, the thing is that the drug was not 5 percent, as usual, but practically undiluted (80 percent). So, with a smile of peace, another rock and roller left.
No. 3. John Lennon
Vocalist The Beatles. One of the few musicians who did not think about suicide. In any case, four out of five bullets from Mark Chapman prevented the world from knowing whether the greatest Beatle had such thoughts.
No. 2. Janis Joplin
The famous singer died from an overdose of heroin mixed with alcohol. It’s interesting that just before this, Janice was working on an audio greeting for John Lennon’s birthday: the cassette with the recording was found near her after his death. I congratulated you, I congratulated you!
No. 1. Kurt Cobain

Vladimir Shainsky

On December 25, 2017, the Soviet and Russian composer, the author of melodies for feature and animated films beloved by children and their parents, passed away. Who hasn't sung the songs of Shapoklyak, the crocodile Gena and Cheburashka, Little Raccoon and many other cartoon characters. Vladimir Yakovlevich is 93 years old from cancer in San Diego (California, USA).
Aliya Dana Houghton fell in love with music since childhood: her mother taught her vocals (she herself was a singer), and later the girl began performing at weddings and singing in a church choir. However, it was not only her mother who contributed to the girl’s success. Her aunt, soul singer and seven-Grammy winner Gladys Knight, often took Aaliyah on tour with her and even asked her to come out and sing something on stage.
At the age of 12, the girl signed her first contract. It was promoted by rapper R. Kelly, with whose help it saw the light of day debut album singer Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number. No one expected such success: the singles took first place on the Billboard chart, and the record itself became double platinum. The second collection, One in a Million, was also successful, with Missy Eliot and Timbaland working on the lyrics and music.
In 1997, Aaliyah graduated from the Detroit School of Arts drama school, and three years later she was called to the action film Romeo Must Die. The girl played one of the main roles and also recorded the Try Again soundtrack for it.
After finishing filming Romeo Must Die, Alia moved on to her next film, Queen of the Damned. This time the singer had to play a supernatural character - the mother of all vampires named Akasha. Along with the filming, work was carried out on the third disc of Aaliah.
In 2001, 22-year-old Aaliyah and her team traveled to the Bahamas to film the Rock the Boat video. Having completed the video in half a day, the girl decided not to waste time and return to Florida, although her flight was scheduled only for the next day. The only plane that was ready to fly at that moment was too small for all the equipment and the nine people who were on board at that fateful hour. The plane crashed a few minutes after takeoff, killing all passengers. Later, the investigation found that the pilot was drunk and did not have permission to operate the ship at all. The Rock the Boat video was released posthumously...
Ritchie Valens
The plane crash also claimed the life of 17-year-old singer and composer Ritchie Valens. Ricardo Esteban was born in California to a family of migrants from Mexico who revered the culture of their homeland and constantly listened to Spanish-language music. Richie himself began writing songs and learning to play guitar, trumpet and drums at age five. At 16, he already played the electric guitar so well that he was invited to join the local band The Silhouettes. In 1958, Valens' performance was noticed by the owner of a small label, Bob Keane, who suggested that the young man record an album and change his name to the more sonorous pseudonym Ritchie Valens. The song Donna, dedicated to Richie's school girlfriend, and the Mexican folk song La Bamba, sung in a rock and roll manner, became hits.
Richie was invited to tour with famous rock musicians Buddy Holly and Big Hopper. The bus in which the troupe traveled to cities in the Midwest constantly broke down and did not have a heating system, so several members of the team decided to fly to Moorhida, Michigan.
An inexperienced pilot was at the helm of the plane, and the ship itself was caught in a snowstorm and lost control. A few minutes after takeoff, the plane crashed.
After this tragedy, the singer’s acquaintances told the press that Richie had been afraid of flying all his life. One day, two planes crashed over his school and the debris injured several children, and his best friend died because of it. This day was the worst for Wales, who had only decided to travel by air a few times in his entire life.
February 3, 1959 was dubbed “The Day the Music Died,” because all the up-and-coming rock and roll musicians of the 50s were on board the ill-fated flight (except, perhaps, Elvis Presley, who was serving in the army at that time). . 22 years after the tragedy, the biopic “La Bamba” was filmed, telling about the short and colorful life of Wales.
Naturally, the soundtrack of the film was La Bamba, covered by Los Lobos and receiving a new dose of popularity. The single topped many American charts and became one of the Spanish-language hits known throughout the world.
Selena Quintanilla-Perez
Ritchie Valens was at the origins of Chicano rock, and Selena Quintanilla-Perez developed another Mexican direction - Tejano, which was especially popular in the southern United States. Actually, she was born in Texas. Her parents immediately noticed the talents of their children and formed the group Selena y los Dinos from them: Selena sang, her brother Abie played the guitar, and her sister Suzette performed on the drums. The love of music helped the family stay afloat: when the restaurant where Selena’s dad and mom worked went bankrupt, Selena y los Dinos made money by entertaining the public at weddings and fairs. This small success inspired a 12-year-old girl to record an album.
By the age of 16, the young talent received the “Best Female Vocal” award at the Tejano Music Awards. This award was presented to her for the next nine years in a row (including posthumously).
These achievements led Selena to a contract with a major recording company, advertising for Coca-Cola, and creating her own clothing line, Selena Etc. and the title “Mexican Madonna”.
The girl's family and friends appreciated not only her talent, but also her kind heart. The performer gave concerts for the poor, was a representative of the AIDS Society and visited schools to tell children about the benefits of education.
Selena's sincerity and warmth also became her Achilles heel. At the peak of her fame, a fan club was organized that dealt with financial matters singers. In 1995, the Quintanilla family noticed that Selena’s money was not being spent on organizing meetings and gifts for fans, but was going into someone’s pocket. And the leader of the fan club, Yolanda Salvidar, received her resignation. For obvious reasons, Yolanda was unhappy with the decision of her idol's family, but instead of repenting, she decided to take revenge. Last meeting Selena and Yolanda took place in a Corpus City hotel room, where a fierce fan shot her “offender” in the back. The 23-year-old singer did not make it to the hospital, and the police who immediately arrived at the scene arrested Salvidar, who was sentenced to life imprisonment.
The girl’s death shocked the entire Latino community in the United States, and April 12 was named Selena Memorial Day in Texas. This death was also a blow for Jennifer Lopez, who two years after the tragic event starred in the biopic Selena, for which she received a Golden Globe nomination.
Quintanilla is still considered one of the brightest Hispanic stars in America. The singer Selena Gomez was named in her honor, and another performer of Latin American origin, Demi Lovato, is often compared to the Queen of Tejano due to the timbre of her voice and similar appearance.
River Phoenix
23 years old - at this age the life of pitching actor River Phoenix was cut short. River with his younger brother Joaquin Phoenix, a future star, did his best to help his parents earn money thanks to their talents: the brothers sang, recited poetry and danced, holding concerts right on the street. This experience was not in vain: a Los Angeles agent who knew the father of the family found several good offers for the talented guys. River started with television series, and four years later he found himself in big cinema. At age 19, he received Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for the crime drama Running in Place. At the same age, he starred in one of the box office installments of Indiana Jones, playing the title character as a young man.
In the drama My Own Private Idaho, Phoenix played a homosexual suffering from a nervous disorder who begins to earn money through prostitution. As the story progresses, his hero falls in love with Keanu Reeves' hero, and although their romantic story ends in a difficult separation, for the public it became more than a sufficient statement of unconventional sexual orientation Keanu and Rivera.
Unlike his heroes, River did not go to extremes. He inherited the free spirit and independence preached by his hippie parents, but at the same time he promoted veganism, supported PETA and was only seen with three girls in his entire life. Besides acting River was actively involved in music: he organized his own band, Aleka’s Attic, and performed at charity events.
However, among his hobbies there was time for a dangerous passion - drugs. In 1993, River became ill at the Viper Room nightclub, where he was hanging out with his friend Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, brother Joaquin, sister Rain and his girlfriend Samantha. The company helped the actor go outside so that he could recover, but the star became even worse. The ambulance that arrived at the club was unable to save River. After his death, most of the stones were thrown into the garden of Johnny Depp, one of the co-owners of the Viper Room: the establishment was called a nest of drug addicts and suicides. Only in 2004 did Depp say goodbye to the notoriety of this establishment by selling his stake in the business.
It was also hard for Keanu Reeves: already closed and lonely, he closed himself off from the world even more, having lost one of his few friends. And Joaquin Phoenix spent a long time recovering from the loss and the constant discussion in the press of the very call to 911 that he made to save River.
The last film with the actor’s participation, “Dark Blood,” was released in 2012. Director George Sluizer collected several clips that River had already starred in and combined them with several failed shots.
James Dean
"East of Eden"
Despite his early death at the age of 24, James Dean managed to become a symbol of the 50s and influence the style and culture of subsequent years. His hairstyle with sideburns was transformed into the iconic images of Tyler Durden from " fight club", Dylan in the TV series Beverly Hills, 90210 and the vampire Edward in the Twilight Saga. And American divas Lana Del Rey and Rihanna in their sad ballads Diet Mtn. Dew and Love Without Tragedy sang the sad, dreaming hero.
The legendary personality of James Dean has not bypassed the film industry: in addition to documentaries, four feature films have been made about him. It was the 2001 film “James Dean” that helped James Franco break into the first echelon of stars.
While still at school, James became interested in theater, and an attempt to study at university again proved that acting career- the only thing the young man wanted to devote his life to. At the age of 20, he quit education and began going to auditions. At first he was offered small roles in casual TV series and commercials. However, connections, talent and training in Actors Studio under the leadership of Lee Strasberg in New York, they did their job: Dean was invited to major film projects, which made him famous throughout America, and later throughout the world.
"Rebel Without a Cause"
In the film East of Eden, James played an emotionally unstable guy who competes with his brother for his father's love. "Rebel Without a Cause" is a film about a hero of the times: a young and confused Jim Stark, who does not know what he wants from life and what principles to follow in a rapidly changing post-war world. “Giant” (released posthumously), unlike the first two films, became a completely different story: in it, the actor reincarnated as a powerful oil tycoon.
A fatal coincidence cut short a stellar career. On the way to one of the photo shoots, the car in which James was sitting in the passenger seat crashed into a car coming around a bend at speed. All participants in this accident survived, except young actor. Posthumously, Dean was nominated twice for an Oscar: for the films East of Eden and Giant.
Francoise Dorléac
From childhood, Françoise, Catherine Deneuve's older sister, was an active and emotional child; she was even expelled from the lyceum for indiscipline. She redirected her energy in a good direction, starting to act in short films and participating in Dior shows during the Week high fashion. At the age of 17, Françoise began to conquer feature films, and at 22 she received the status of a promising French actress after the release of the films “The Man from Rio” and “Tender Skin.” The success of these films attracted the interest of American and British film companies to Françoise, and she starred in the films “Genghis Khan” and “Where the Spies Are.”
Françoise helped and younger sister become famous: it was she who brought Catherine Deneuve (she took her mother’s maiden name so as not to be confused with her sister) to film set and helped develop her acting talent. Years later, they became the most prominent artists in France, and directors were torn between them, not knowing who to invite to their films. Thus, Roman Polanski directed Catherine in “Repulsion” in 1965, and a year later chose her sister for the film “Dead End”.
When her older sister brought her to one of the New York agencies. At first, the girls were invited to work together: they attended Milan Fashion Week, photo shoots for teen magazines, and appeared in Cover Girl advertisements. However, over time, Chrissy managed to win the attention of the public as a solo star: she starred for Elle, Seventeen, Cosmopolitan, Glamor and Vogue. Taylor quickly became a teen icon and was invited to appear on MTV shows.
Chrissie's life was cut short when she was 17 years old. Nikki found her sister unconscious in their Florida home. A few hours later the model died. The cause was an asthma attack (Chrissy had used an inhaler since childhood), complicated by cardiac arrhythmia.
Ruslana Korshunova
Another model who died on the way to great fame is Ruslana Korshunova. Ruslana was born in the suburbs of Almaty. Her fate was decided by chance: a modeling agency scout saw a photograph of members of the German language club in the in-flight magazine of the Air Astana airline and noticed a photograph of a pretty girl. He provided Ruslana with a place in the fashion world. Ruslana became the discovery of New York Fashion Week in 2005 and received the nickname “Russian Rapunzel” for her hair. She was filming for Elle magazines and Vogue, participated in advertising campaigns DKNY and Lacoste, and her most famous photo shoot was done for the Nina fragrance by Nina Ricci.
However star life and the exorbitant fees only from the outside seemed like undeniable happiness, and in her diary Korshunova often wrote about emotional experiences and sadness. It is these facts that provide evidence of the suicide of a 20-year-old girl who was found dead under the windows of her apartment in New York. The mysterious death has many other versions: starting with the fact that the model was a member of a Moscow sect, which led her to depression, and ending with a conspiracy of the Russian mafia.
