The blonde Svetlichnaya from "The Diamond Hand", Gurchenko in the film "Love and Doves" might not have appeared on the screens if other artists had not abandoned their roles in these films. We propose to find out which of the actors, and for what reason, refused to appear in the tapes, which later became cult.

Love and pigeons

Lyudmila Gurchenko perfectly fit into the image of Lyudmila Zakharovna. Not a single spectator can imagine someone else in her place. But initially Tatyana Doronina was supposed to play the role.

Then Tatiana was offered a role in the tape "Valentine and Valentine", and she refused to participate in Menshov's film.

Irony of Fate or Enjoy Your Bath

All the actors in this film were originally supposed to be played by other artists. Ryazanov saw a trio: Gurchenko, Mironov, Basilashvili. Lyudmila and Andrei did not pass the test. According to the director, they were too flighty, funny and active. It seemed as if they did not understand the task. Ryazanov decided that this couple was definitely not suitable for the main roles.

The calm and reasonable Basilashvili was ideally written off for the role of the serious Ippolit. Oleg wanted to accept the director's offer, but circumstances intervened. The artist's father died. He was grieving over the loss and decided to give up work.

Meeting place can not be Changed

Looking for actors, Stanislav Govorukhin saw Evgeny Gerasimov in the role of Sharapov. When the actor read the script, he did not see himself in this role. So Vladimir Konkin was approved. Gerasimov, having watched the film on the big screen, realized how much he was mistaken and for a long time regretted his decision.

Moscow does not believe in tears

Vladimir Menshov saw Margarita Terekhova in the role of the quiet and calm Katya, but she accepted the offer to play Milady in the story about the Musketeers. That is how, with the light hand of Margarita, Vladimir's wife turned out to be on the set.

The audience is sure that the circumstances were successful. In their opinion, Alentova looked more convincing in this image than the bright Terekhova.

The Diamond Arm

The silent beauty and fatal seductress amazed many viewers who first watched the film "The Diamond Arm". But in the place of Svetlana Svetlichnaya, Klara Luchko was supposed to be. She successfully passed the photo tests, but was not happy about it. Luchko admitted that she did not want to appear in front of millions of spectators in a swimsuit.

After thinking about the offer, Clara considered the role too frivolous and refused.
