Rob Knox

Age: 18 years

The girl's father first began to drink, and then slowly go crazy - the already secretive Joseph, after losing his job, began to noticeably worry about the fact that Judith became the breadwinner in their family.

Bridgette Andersen

Age: 21 years old

Main films:"Savannah Smiles", "The Parent Trap 2", "Unhappy Together"

Bridget Andersen, unfortunately, completed our list of famous actors who passed away very young with a photo, age and cause of death. While still a child, the girl managed to break through to the Hollywood Olympus. At the age of seven, she starred in Savannah Smile, for which she received her first of four Youth Film nominations. In adolescence, she practically stopped being offered participation in films. By the age of twenty, she already had very serious problems with alcohol and drugs. The cause of addictions can be considered both early fame and subsequent lack of demand, as well as problems with her parents, from whom she has moved away recently. Be that as it may, Bridget died of an overdose when she was only 21 years old.

On June 28, the Network spread the news that Oleg was urgently taken to the hospital in critical condition. No one had accurate information, and official representatives and the civil wife of Yakovlev, journalist Alexandra Kutsevol, refused to comment. Many, of course, hoped that all this was just ridiculous rumors, but the very next morning it became known that Oleg's heart had stopped. The death of the singer was reported by his wife on her Instagram: “Today at 7:05 the main Man of my life, my Angel, my Happiness was gone ... How am I now without you? .. Fly, Oleg! I am always with you.

On the same day, Alexandra told reporters about the cause of Oleg's death - the artist died from advanced bilateral pneumonia, never regaining consciousness. Despite the official statement, there is still a lot of controversy on the Web about what caused Yakovlev's death. According to some media reports, the singer died of cirrhosis of the liver (this version was confirmed by the words of Katya Lel, who admitted that she had seen Oleg shortly before her death and noted the painful yellow whites of her eyes). Other journalists attribute AIDS to the artist, while fans are even inclined to believe that the “curse of the little Ivanushki” was to blame for everything (in 1998, Igor Sorin died under mysterious circumstances, falling out of a window on the 6th floor).

Zhanna Friske - died on June 15, 2015 at the age of 40

Many colleagues in show business call Zhanna Friske a real fighter and optimist. After leaving the "Brilliant" she began a solo career and very quickly became one of the most popular singers on our stage. Friske combined performances on stage with work on television - she hosted the show "Vacations in Mexico". In July 2012, the whole country learned about the singer's romance with TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev (although rumors about this had been circulating for several months), and a year later the couple had a son, Plato. A successful career, a beloved man, a long-awaited child, an upcoming wedding - it seemed that one could only dream of such a thing. However, the seemingly cloudless life of this family was overshadowed almost immediately after the birth of Plato ...

Two months after giving birth, Jeanne began to complain of severe headaches and constant fatigue. Soon, a medical examination revealed that Friske had a malignant brain tumor. For the first six months, the singer's illness was kept in the strictest confidence, and when rumors began to appear, Zhanna and Dmitry decided to talk about her serious illness. On the air of one of the programs, a fundraising for treatment was announced - not only stars, but also ordinary people responded to the call for help. As a result, the collected money was enough not only for Zhanna's experimental treatment, but also to help several children. In the summer of 2014, Friska felt better, she returned to Russia - it seemed that the disease had receded. But the miracle didn't happen. In May 2015, Jeanne's condition deteriorated sharply, and on June 15 she died.

Friske passed away two years ago, but her name still pops up regularly in the press. This happens due to endless litigation related to the theft of charitable funds from Rusfond. There is a lot of hype around the son of Plato, whom Zhanna's parents and Dmitry Shepelev cannot share in any way, and this conflict has long been made public. Fans hope that sooner or later both of these difficult issues will be peacefully resolved - at least in memory of Jeanne.

Murat Nasyrov - passed away on January 19, 2007 at the age of 37

The life of Murat Nasyrov was bright and surprisingly fleeting. The future artist's love for music originated in the army, so after serving, Murat began to develop vocals at the Gnessin Musical College. Nasyrov is widely known to the public for his hit "The Boy Wants to Tambov", but this fact annoyed him - it was one of the few songs not written by him and having nothing to do with his performance style. In 2004, the artist's last album was released, and he himself focused all his attention on his family - his wife Natalya (their marriage was concluded according to the Uyghur tradition, but not registered in the registry office), daughter Leah and son Akim.

On January 20, 2007, the public was struck by the news: "Murat Nasyrov committed suicide." The artist jumped out of the window. There were rumors that he was using drugs, but a medical examination showed that there were no illegal substances or alcohol in the artist's body. According to Natalya's mother, Greta Boyko, that evening Nasyrov constantly walked around the apartment, called someone and behaved very strangely. Later, he closed himself in his studio, tried to sing, after which he went out, took his portrait, woke the children and changed into a concert costume. Then Murat began to shout that he had a vision of the deceased guitarist of the A-Studio group. Then, in front of his mother-in-law and children, the artist hung a camera around his neck, picked up a portrait, went out onto the balcony and jumped off the fifth floor. The ambulance doctors came to the rescue and declared death from injuries incompatible with life.

In the photo: the children of Murat Nasyrov - Leah and Akim

More than ten years have passed since the death of Nasyrov. The artist's children grew up - Leah connected her life with the economy, and Akim entered Gnesinka, where his mother and father once studied. The widow herself still lives in the apartment where her husband died. After the tragedy, nothing has changed in their house - even Murat's studio remains untouched. By the way, Nasyrov's mother still does not believe that her son is a suicide, doubts torment the inconsolable widow, but both women try to live on.

Vladislav Galkin - died on February 27, 2010 at the age of 38

Throughout the country, Vladislav Galkin is known as Sanya from "Truckers". Despite other paintings beloved by all Russians (which are only "Voroshilovsky shooter" and "Master and Margarita"), it was this series that truly glorified the actor. Overnight, Vladislav became the favorite of millions of viewers, so after the news of his death, the whole country mourned the actor ...

On February 27, the actor's relatives turned to the police, as they were concerned that Vladislav had not been in touch for several days. Police officers, together with a family friend, broke down the door of the apartment and found the body of the actor. After the autopsy, the doctors unanimously concluded that the cause of death was cardiac arrest, which, in turn, was caused by nervous exhaustion and alcohol abuse.

Vladislav's father, Boris Galkin, does not agree with the official version of the investigation and believes that his son was killed. Boris Sergeevich states that a week before his death, Vladislav withdrew a large amount of money to repair the apartment, and he kept them at home (which the alleged killers could have known about). In addition, threatening messages were received on the phone of Galkin Jr., and abrasions and bruises were found on his face. By the way, during the search of the apartment, the named amount was not found. Boris Sergeevich does not believe that his son abused alcohol either - he assures that after Vladislav was diagnosed with pancreatitis, he gave up alcohol and went on a strict diet. Galkin Sr. could not find hard evidence for his arguments, so the official version of death remains the same.

Ilona Novoselova - passed away on June 13, 2017 at the age of 30

Ilona Novoselova is one of the most prominent participants in the show "The Battle of Psychics" in the entire history of its existence. Millions of viewers of our country loved her, despite her explosive nature and harsh statements. The witch was one of the best in her field - she brilliantly passed tests, easily understood the most intricate stories, and helped people a lot. However, as it turned out later, she needed help herself ...

On June 13, information appeared in the media that Ilona Novoselova fell out of the window of her apartment on the Entuziastov highway. The details of that evening are hidden behind seven seals, but according to the official version, the witch fell from the balcony by accident. The investigating authorities say that that evening Novoselova and her boyfriend Artem Besov drank, quarreled, after which the young man began to collect things, and Ilona wanted to stop him in this way, but could not resist and fell over the balcony railing.

A close friend of Novoselova, the witch Alsu Gazimzyanova, is sure that her boyfriend is to blame for Ilona's death. Alsou assures that a few days before the tragedy, Novoselova rewrote the apartment to Besov and was generally under his strongest influence. According to Gazimzyanova, Artyom used his girlfriend while she loved him. By the way, ten years ago, Novoselova already tried to commit suicide because of unhappy love, but then her relatives managed to save her.

Vladimir Turchinsky - died on December 16, 2009 at the age of 46

Vladimir died on the morning of December 16, 2009 in his country house. Waking up early in the morning, Turchinsky complained to his wife Irina about feeling unwell, after which he immediately lost consciousness and fell to the floor. Irina immediately called an ambulance, but when the doctors arrived at the scene, they only had to state death - presumably due to cardiac arrest.

After the news of Turchinsky's death spread around the public, everyone was worried about the cause of the tragedy. Reports began to appear in the media that the day before the tragedy, Vladimir performed a plasmapheresis procedure (taking blood from a patient, purifying it and returning it back to the bloodstream, - approx. Woman.ru), and allegedly the doctor provided the service not professionally enough, which ruined showman. However, later official data were published, which said that Turchinsky's death was the result of a heart attack. On January 24, 2010, at an evening in memory of Vladimir, his widow Irina publicly announced that her late husband could have been saved.

Widespread fame came to him at the beginning of the 2000s - with the release of the cult film "Brigade", and the trilogy "Shadow Boxing" helped to consolidate his success. In most cases, Panin got negative characters, but this did not prevent him from becoming a beloved and truly popular artist.

The news of Panin's death sounded like a bolt from the blue. The body of the actor was discovered by police at 11 am on March 7, 2013. Andrei was found lying on the floor, so a version was put forward that the actor died from a blow to his head and severe blood loss due to a fall from a height of his own height. However, the very next day, forensic experts concluded that Panin had been killed: his face was mutilated, glasses were found in his wounds, and bruises were found on his knees.

Alexander Abdulov - died on January 3, 2008 at the age of 54. In the arsenal of the Honored Artist of Russia Alexander Abdulov there are more than a hundred roles, most of which are in the best films of Soviet cinema. Lovelace Nikita from "Carnival", a bear with the soul of a prince from "Ordinary Miracle", Vanya in love from "Magicians" or a lover from "Lady Macbeth ..." - any hero of Abdulov has a special power of attraction and the ability to sink into the heart.

In his 50s, Alexander Abdulov could boast of excellent physical shape. In his work, the actor tried to do without understudies and performed all the complex tricks himself. However, for many years Alexander undermined his health by smoking. In August 2007, Abdulov underwent an operation to remove an ulcer, but after a few hours he began to have serious heart problems. After six days in intensive care, the actor was taken to Israel, where, as a result of the examination, he was diagnosed with the fourth stage of lung cancer, which, alas, cannot be cured. Abdulov's heart stopped early in the morning on January 3, 2008 in a Moscow clinic.

Roman Trachtenberg - died on November 29, 2009 at the age of 41

During his short but bright life, Roman Trakhtenberg was remembered by millions of Russians as an extraordinary showman, author of many jokes and a charming hoaxer. Many are sure (and we agree with them) that the show "Money Doesn't Smell" would not have been such a success if it were not for the charisma of the presenter.

On November 29, 2009, the Network spread the news that Trachtenberg had died, but knowing the showman's love for such "ducks", many did not immediately believe in the veracity of the articles. But, unfortunately, later it became clear that this was not a stupid joke, but the bitter truth. During a live broadcast on Mayak radio, Roman had a heart attack, which led to cardiac arrest. According to the doctors, the attack was caused by an anomaly of the heart, but many are sure that Trachtenberg's rapid weight loss is the cause - shortly before his death, he lost 32 kilograms.

Each of these people made a great contribution to the development of domestic show business. It was thanks to them that new films, outstanding hits and extraordinary theatrical productions appeared. And now it remains for us to remember every talented and famous person who died this year.

River Phoenix

1970−1993

23 years old - at this age, the life of budding actor River Phoenix ended. River, along 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, arranging concerts right on the street. This experience was not in vain: the Los Angeles agent, who was familiar with the father of the family, found several good offers for talented guys. River started with television series, and four years later he was already in a big movie.

From his hippie parents, River was given free-thinking and independence, but at the same time he promoted veganism, supported PETA and was seen in the company of only three girls in his entire life. However, among the hobbies of the actor, there was time for a dangerous passion - drugs. In 1993, River became ill at the Viper Room nightclub, where he spent time with 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 got even worse. The ambulance that arrived at the club was unable to save Rivera. After his death, most of the stones flew into the garden of Johnny Depp, one of the co-owners of the Viper Room: the institution was called a nest of drug addicts and suicides. Only in 2004, Depp said goodbye to the notoriety of this institution by selling his stake in the business.

Despite his 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. Even at school, James became interested in theater, and an attempt to study at the university proved again that acting was the only thing the young man wanted to devote his life to. At 20, he dropped out of education and started going to auditions. At first, he was offered small roles in passing series and commercials. However, connections, talent and training at the Actors Studio under the direction of Lee Strasberg in New York did their job: Dean was invited to major film projects, which glorified him throughout America, and later the whole world. A fatal set of circumstances cut short his 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 that had left the corner. All participants in this accident survived, except for the young Hollywood actor who died so early. Posthumously, Dean was nominated twice for an Oscar: for the films East of Paradise and Giant.

Paul Walker

1973−2013

Neither relatives nor fans wanted to believe in the death of Paul Walker: how did the actor, who so many times independently staged the most difficult stunts in the movie about the Fast and the Furious races, become a victim of a car accident?

The actor died during a charity car show in favor of the victims of the typhoon in the Philippines. The car in which Paul and his friend Roger Rodas were (he was driving) crashed into a lamppost and caught fire - the passengers did not even have a chance of salvation.

Sergei Shevkunenko

1959−1995

When Shevkunenko was four years old, his father died of cancer. Mom was left alone with two children. She worked hard, and Sergei was left to his own devices from an early age. As a result, he began to get into criminal stories. But in the cinema he was not drawn at all. Everything was decided by chance: once he came to his mother, assistant director at Mosfilm, to work and liked one of the directors. Soon Sergei received the role of the heroic pioneer Mitya Polyakov in the Dirk trilogy. However, in life he preferred the path of crime. At the age of 13, Shevkunenko was registered in the children's room of the police and had serious problems with alcohol, and at the age of 16 he received his first term - for beating out of hooligan motives. After that, Sergei again and again went to jail for theft. By the age of 30, a man who received the nicknames “Chief” and “Artist” in the criminal world had the status of authority and headed the Mosfilm organized criminal group. Sergei died at the age of 35. The killer broke into their apartment with their mother and shot them both. The crime was never solved.

Time flows like water, and every year brings us many bitter losses. 2013 was no exception. Actors, musicians, politicians - for many of them it was the last. We invite you to remember the famous people who left us this year and once again think about how short our life is.
