Early Life and Theatrical Career
Marina Grigorievna Golub was born on December 8, 1957, in Moscow, Russia, to actress Lyudmila Golub and GRU Colonel Grigory Golub. From an early age, she was drawn to the performing arts. Upon graduating from high school, she resolutely pursued a career in acting and enrolled in the prestigious Moscow Art Theatre School (MXAT).
Despite her mother's initial resistance, Golub excelled in her studies and was praised by her teachers. However, after graduating in 1979, she made the unexpected decision to leave the theater. With her eccentric personality, Golub felt out of sync with the formal theatrical environment of the time.
Comedy and Television Success
Taking her mother's advice, Golub embarked on a career in comedy in 1981. She joined the Satirikon Theater, founded by Konstantin Raikin, and made a memorable debut in the play "Faces." Her talent for satire and humor gained her recognition, and she remained with the theater until 1987.
In a fortunate twist of fate, Golub's versatility led her to television. She created and hosted her own program, "A Holiday Every Day," demonstrating her ability to write, perform, and entertain. Her subsequent role in the hit TV series "Eh, Semenovna!" cemented her status as a beloved entertainer.
Return to Theater and Film Breakthrough
In 2000, Golub returned to the stage in a critically acclaimed performance as the innkeeper in Declan Donnellan's production of "Boris Godunov." She also starred in the play "Vassa Zheleznova," delivering a tour-de-force performance that showcased her range and emotional depth.
Simultaneously, Golub's film career blossomed. She played memorable roles in "Wedding," which screened at the Cannes Film Festival and won awards in Germany and Russia, as well as "Diary of a Killer," "The Narrow Bridge," and "Angel Guardian." Her naturalism and ability to inhabit diverse characters made her a sought-after actress.
Television Presence and Final Role
Golub's popularity extended to television, where she hosted the talk show "Girls," discussing women's issues and relationships. She also made guest appearances on various programs, including "Wife. Love Story," where she shared her own experiences of marriage and love.
Her final on-screen appearance was in the New Year's comedy "Friends of Friends," where she portrayed an older woman desperately searching for a gift for her friend.
Personal Life and Relationships
Marina Golub had three marriages. Her first husband was businessman Evgeny Troyinin, with whom she had a daughter, Nastya. Her second marriage was to actor Vadim Dolgachev, which ended due to his alcoholism.
In 1995, Golub married actor Anatoly Bely, a union that surprised many due to their age difference and contrasting social status. Bely went on to achieve significant success in his career, but the couple divorced after 10 years of marriage.
Golub's final love was businessman Mikhail Kravchenko, who won her over with his charming personality and lavish gifts. However, their happiness was short-lived as Kravchenko was tragically assassinated.
Tragic Death and Legacy
On October 9, 2012, Marina Golub was killed in a car accident in Moscow. A speeding Cadillac ran a red light and crashed into her Hyundai, killing her and the driver. The perpetrator, Alexei Rusakov, was later arrested and sentenced to 6.5 years in prison.
Golub's tragic death shocked the nation and left an immeasurable void in the entertainment industry. Her remarkable talent, versatility, and unwavering spirit continue to inspire and entertain audiences to this day.
