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.

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.

Beautiful blonde girl in a wreath. Red Rowan in Slavic mythology

Red Rowan in Slavic mythology
The autumn forest is whimsical and beautiful. How many bright colors there are in it! But among the trees, dressed in yellow outfits, rowan is especially prominent. The heavy clusters of scarlet berries burn in the sun, attracting the attention of people and birds. Sweet aroma fills the air. Birds willingly cherish ripe fruits, and people admire its magical beauty.
Known as sorbus, whitebeam, rowan, service tree, and mountain-ash, it is a tree-amulet used in magic and folk medicine. Considered a magical plant for many centuries, it played an important role in the beliefs and rituals of the ancient Slavs, Scandinavians and Celts. For example, in some places the peasants, when they returned from the cemetery, hung rowan rods over the door, so that the deceased “did not return home.” And in case the deceased turned into a ghoul after death, he was nailed to the ground by a stake, which was sometimes made from rowan. Wanderers made a staff out of mountain ash, chewed it and left a chip in their mouths behind their cheeks so as not to be afraid of any sorcery on the way.

Autumn in its glory – Mysterious tree, or Red maple leaf meaning

Mysterious tree, or Red maple leaf meaning

Red maple leaf facts
The beautiful red maple leaf has been the national symbol of Canada for over 150 years. Red and white are the official colors of Canada, proclaimed by King George V in 1921. According to historians, maple leaf began to serve as a Canadian symbol as early as 1700. Long before the arrival of European settlers, Aboriginal peoples had already discovered the food properties of maple sap – which they gathered every spring. Since the 1800s, Canadians have paid tribute to the maple leaf many times.
According to Psychologists, Maple is a tree that helps to find peace of mind for people of all types, brings comfort, and self-confidence. It is a tree of inner strength and steadiness. Therefore, maple creates barriers to Darkness. A solar disk carved from maple and hung over the door, maple steps at the entrance to the house, the doorframes of the entrance door from this tree are all defenses against evil forces. Traditionally, people used Maple to build bridges over running water. Running water is an obstacle to dark forces, and maple did not allow these forces to use the bridge.
Also, maple branches, covering the barn, or stuck in the walls, protect cattle from evil eye and spoilage. By the way, a drink from fermented maple juice is a sacred wine of sun worshipers.
