Olga Alexandrovna did not remain a free woman for long.
On December 21, it would have been 100 years since the birth of actress Olga Aroseva. The celebrity left this world in 2013, but the public is still interested in facts from her biography and continues to watch films and television programs featuring her. The performer was constantly surrounded by hundreds of admirers, and even in her advanced age, she drove many younger men crazy, but she faced the end of her life alone. More about Olga Aroseva's husbands and how her personal life unfolded.
Vladimir Soshal'sky
Olga Aroseva's first husband was Vladimir Soshal'sky, who became popular in the 1950s thanks to his role as Romeo, played on the stage of the Leningrad Youth Theater. For the man, this marriage was also his first, but the union turned out to be fragile and fell apart in less than a year at Vladimir's initiative.
After that, Soshal'sky married the prima of the Bolshoi Drama Theater, Nina Olkhina, and later his personal life was connected with Ninel Podgornaya, Alina Pokrovskaya, and Nonna Mordyukova.
Konstantin Zhukov
Musician Konstantin Zhukov, who was 11 years older than her, became the second husband of the celebrity. They got married in 1946, but the family fell apart after 4 years. The reason for the breakup was that her partner refused to move with her from Leningrad to Moscow when she had to say goodbye to the Comedy Theater, where she had worked for 5 years. About this period, Olga later said that it was the happiest time in her personal life. The artist's relatives also recalled that the couple shared strong and tender feelings, but no children were born from this marriage.
Yuri Khlopecky
The acquaintance with her future third husband Yuri Khlopecky took place at the Satire Theater, where the actress began to work after moving to the capital. They grew close thanks to a mutual friend, Anatoly Papanov, whom Aroseva had known since her youth and called a good friend. The actress's niece, Natalia, mentioned in an interview that this marriage was not officially registered, but it turned out to be the most dramatic in her life.
Khlopecky was an aspiring actor, and he fell in love at first sight with the attractive and sociable girl, and she reciprocated the charming red-haired guy. Olga brought her beloved to a tiny room where her mother, sister, and niece also lived. Khlopecky dreamed of having a child, but the couple could not fulfill this wish. In 1953, Aroseva became pregnant, but soon lost the baby and underwent surgery, after which she could never experience the happiness of motherhood. She was deeply affected by this, realizing that it was also a blow for Yuri.
Soon, family life began to crack, and the marital relationship was complicated by the fact that Khlopecky's acting career was less successful compared to his wife's. According to the memories of a close relative of the actress, Yuri was a good person, but over time he began to abuse alcohol. This harmful addiction led to the actor losing his job at the theater, but even after that, he could not get himself together. Olga Aroseva eventually parted ways with her third husband after 5 years of living together. Soon after the divorce, the man passed away, but by that time, positive changes had already occurred in the actress's life, and a new romantic interest had appeared.
Arkady Pogodin
After experiencing a setback in love, the actress did not remain a free woman for long. Her new companion was pop singer Arkady Pogodin, who often performed on the radio at that time and was known to the public for the song "In the Chair Park." Many women of that time were captivated by his pleasant baritone, but he chose Olga, who was much younger than him: the age difference was 24 years.
At the time of their acquaintance, the man was not free, but he decided to leave his family for Aroseva, which had lasted for several decades. With his previous wife, a former ballerina, Arkady shared a large summer cottage in Vnukovo. He and the actress got married when Pogodin was almost 70. After the wedding, the couple lived in a small wooden house on the same dacha.
Those around noted that Pogodin was a quiet, calm, and patient person by nature, exactly the kind of companion the actress had always dreamed of. She treated Pogodin with great respect and took care of him when his health deteriorated. But the actress's capricious nature soon made itself known: she began to have new romantic interests, which she did not even try to hide from the singer. Olga Aroseva's fourth husband did not tolerate and try to fix the situation, but simply left, leaving Olga the dacha and the apartment. A few years later, Arkady Pogodin passed away.
In the future, Aroseva had new admirers and lovers, among whom were famous artists, playwrights, musicians, and artists, as well as men not connected to the world of cinema and theater. The celebrity preferred not to recall these romances and relationships in interviews and did not mention any names, only noting that she had lived her life in solitude, as all her chosen ones turned out to be weak and helpless.
