Beautiful film actresses we lost in 2017
First of all, this post is a tribute to the most beautiful actresses who passed away in 2017. Although most of these actresses died in old age, I prefer to show their beauty in their youth. Because it was during this period of their active and young life that the audience saw them, admired them, loved and followed them.
Undoubtedly, Yvonne Monlaur belongs to the most beautiful actresses of the 20th century, standing on a par with such beauty icons as Merilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren.
Born 15 December 1939 in France, she was the daughter of a Russian noble man, white officer and count. And her mother, a ballet dancer, instilled in her daughter love not only for ballet, but for art in general. The girl studied classical dance, and worked as a model.
She made her debut in the films: “Thirteen at the table / Treize à table” (directed by Andre Junnebel) and “Honore de Marcel” (both – 1956). Having played in more than 33 films, yet, she is mostly remembered as an actress of horror and spy films in the 50s – 60s (for example, Circus of Horrors, 1960). And her most notable role – 1960 film
“The Brides of Dracula”.

Popular in 1960s Czech actress Kveta Fialova (1 September 1929 – 26 September 2017)

1960s Beautiful Czech actress Kveta Fialova
Stars arise in different ways. Some flare up unexpectedly and dazzlingly, like “supernovae”, and then they can never outshine the first appearance on the screen. But there are others – those who begin in silence and uncertainty. They seem to be waiting for their time, that precious moment when the actor’s soul and the world around come first into contact. If this happens, then the actor, who has never been known to anyone, becomes firmly and habitually necessary for everyone. This is how the actor star Kveta Fialova, the most popular actress of Czechoslovak cinema, ascended to the cinematic horizon.
Fialova started in the province. She was in love with the theater since she was a schoolgirl. After graduating from school, she tried to get into the theater, and succedeed. Kveta got the smallest roles and very quickly realized that one love is not enough. She needed skill. For a young debutante it was a courageous decision: to leave the theater for a while and go to study for an actress.

Beautiful Princess Iman bint Abdullah

It is likely that a little more time will pass, and Princess Iman Bint Abdullah, the eldest daughter of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania, will be the most talked about person on our planet. Meanwhile, about the princess of Jordan, Iman is not much spoken in the press. Unlike her famous mother, Queen Rania, the girl does not have social networks, does not give interviews and rarely appears in public. However, each of her appearance, approximately once every two years or three, becomes a sensation. And there are several reasons for this …
Princess Iman is 21 years old, and she is the second child and the oldest daughter in the family of King Abdullah II and Queen Rania.

Muse of Dior, fashion designer, beautiful model and Last love of Vladimir Mayakovsky Tatiana Yakovleva (March 25, 1906 – April 28, 1991)

Last love of Vladimir Mayakovsky Tatiana Yakovleva
One of the most touching stories of Mayakovsky’s life happened to him in Paris when he fell in love with Tatiana Yakovleva. Between them there could be nothing in common. A Russian emigre, chiseled and refined, brought up on Pushkin and Tyutchev, did not take a word from the chopped, hard, ragged poems of a fashionable Soviet poet, an “icebreaker” from the Land of Soviets.
She did not take any of his words at all, even in real life. Fierce, frantic, going ahead, living on his last breath, he frightened her with his unrestrained passion. She was not touched neither by his dog devotion, nor his fame. Her heart remained indifferent. And Mayakovsky left for Moscow alone.

From this instantly flared and not held love, with him remained a secret grief, and with us – a magical poem “Letter to Tatyana Yakovleva” with the words: “I’ll take you one or two with Paris!”

That is life – ups and downs. You can not be happy all the time. Hollywood actress Ingrid Bergman (29 August 1915 – 29 August 1982)

Dramatic fate of Hollywood actress Ingrid Bergman
The fate of beautiful Swedish American actress Ingrid Bergman, boycotted in America and Europe, was really dramatic. And this August 29 (2017) marks 102 years from the date of birth and 35 years since the death of the Hollywood star of the period of its “golden age” Ingrid Bergman. So, why boycotted? In fact, at the peak of her popularity, being the highest paid Hollywood actress, happy mother and beloved wife, she left everything. Particularly, for the sake of the man who caused the boycott of films with Ingrid Bergman in America and Europe. Besides, in her homeland, in Sweden, she was even called a “spot on the flag of the country”. However, she did not regret anything.
Born on August 29, 1915 in Stockholm, Ingrid Bergman got her name after the Swedish princess. Unfortunately, she lost her parents early: her mother died when the girl was 3 years old, and her father passed away as a result of the disease when she was 12. The orphaned girl began to live with her aunt, but she also died prematurely. So, in adolescence, the girl remained completely alone.

Siberian natives – Buryat women among the most beautiful ethnoses of Russia

Buryat women among the most beautiful ethnoses of Russia

According to the beauty experts, Buryat women, mysterious and luxurious, sincere and even a little cunning – they have a sincere look and an open mind. In particular, among the most beautiful representatives of indigenous people of Siberia are such bright beauties as the winner of the “Moscow Beauty of Buryatia” Natalia Zhamsoyeva, singer Anna Obozhina, writer Irina Pantayeva and model Maria Shantanova. Today in Russia there are more than 300 ethnic groups, each of which has its own beautiful representatives.
In fact, the population of Buryats is about 620,000 people. And most of them live in Russia (it is one of the most numerous peoples of Siberia), in the northern part of Mongolia and in the northeast of China.
In general, Buryats are referred to the Central Asian type of Mongoloid race. However, historically, in the places of their inhabitation in the territory of present-day Siberia the process of mixing Western and Eastern tribes constantly continued. Therefore, the Pribaikalsky Buryats have less pronounced Mongoloid and more vividly Caucasoid features, while in the trans-Baikal – opposite.

Gorgeous Romanian actress Irina Petrescu (19 June 1941 – 19 March 2013)

Beautiful Romanian actress Irina Petrescu
Acting biography of Irina Petrescu began early and swiftly. In 1959, director Liviu Ciulei invited an eighteen-year-old student of the University of Bucharest to the main female role in his film “The Waves of the Danube”. And less than a year, this film received the prize of the festival in Karlovy Vary. Accordingly, the name of the debutante flashed on the pages of the newspapers, her photographs appeared on magazine covers …
Without Irina Petrescu, not one “prestigious” production is now possible: the first Romanian “musical” (“I do not want to marry”), the first co-production with England (the adaptation of Fenimore Cooper), and the first film about the domestic “disgruntled” (“Woman for One” season”)…
When the magazine “Cinema” conducts a traditional contest for “the best cinematic couple of the year”, readers usually call Irina Petrescu. When needed a serious interview about foreign trips or about actual screen problems, reporters turn to Petrescu… Irina, in addition to elegance, has the humor and originality of the view of things. Yes, in just ten years she has evolved from no one not known student of philology into the first star of national cinematography, recognized by all.
