On the account of the star there were more than a hundred roles played, but she could not pass some of the tests, which she later greatly regretted. In what films was Lyudmila Markovna supposed to appear.
Hussar Ballad
The director of this film was Eldar Ryazanov, who had recently discovered for the Soviet audience and for himself the talent of Lyudmila Markovna in the film Carnival Night.
Despite the difficulties of mutual understanding, he planned to shoot Gurchenko in a hussar ballad. The director invited her to audition, but the actress failed. She was lethargic, played insecure and confused the lyrics.
As a result, Larisa Golubkina played Shurochka Azarova.
Only later did Ryazanov find out that the tests fell on a difficult period in the life of Lyudmila Markovna. Her daughter was very ill, her husband did not help, and she herself was torn between work and home.
The master said: if the actress told him about the situation, he would have made concessions, but Gurchenko was proud.
War and Peace
In search of the performer of the role of Natasha Rostova, director Sergei Bondarchuk considered many actresses. Lyudmila Gurchenko was among the applicants and had no doubt that she would get the role. Much to the surprise of many, Sergei then approved not her, not Kustinskaya and not Golubkina.
Rostov was played by an unknown ballerina Lyudmila Savelyeva.
Irony of Fate or Enjoy Your Bath
In this cult film Ryazanova Gurchenko was supposed to appear in the role of Nadia. For the role of Lukashin, the director considered the candidacy of Andrei Mironov. The artists already knew each other. They played excellently in the movie "Straw Hat", so they easily got together on the set.
Despite their talent, both of them did not understand the director's task. Ryazanov explained that at that time he was looking for new intonations and wanted to see a more tragic and tender story. Gurchenko and Mironov showed the already familiar comedy.
After auditioning, the director realized that these two would easily confuse him. So completely different artists were approved for the role.
Unfinished Piece for Mechanical Piano
In this famous film by Nikita Mikhalkov, the role of the wife of General Anna Petrovna was written specifically for Lyudmila Gurchenko. Unfortunately, she could not play in it. On the set of the film "Mom", the star fell and broke her leg. Several operations were required and the recovery period was long.
Mikhalkov did not wait for Lyudmila Markovna. In the role of the general's wife, the audience saw Antonina Shuranova.
Mikhalkov and Ryazanov argued that Gurchenko was worried about good missed roles. For her, rejection after trial was akin to defeat. And each time she experienced everything as a personal tragedy.
