A brilliant actor, a strong personality,flashing humorist - all these words concern the hero of our article. During his life, Jan Arlazorov managed to win the hearts of all TV viewers. Almost every person in our country (and beyond) also knows the work of our hero. He is recognizable and loved by the people. How did he come about, who was this man and why was he so popular?
Our hero's family was the most ordinary. Arlazorov Jan Mayorovich (although this is not entirely correct, more precisely - Meyerovich) was born in a Jewish family on August 26, 1947 in Moscow. His father, Maher Shmulievich (Meyer Samoilovich) Shulrufer, was born in 1923, a participant in the Great Patriotic War, after which he worked as a lawyer. Mother, Raisa Yakovlevna Arlazorova, is a surgeon. Younger brother of Jan, Leonid Meyerovich Shulrufer, continued the business of his mother.
In many ways, his talent and desire for art, Ian inherited from his grandfather, who worked in the theater Vakhtangov.
Studying at school, our hero often skippedclasses. Unfortunately for his parents, Ian was a fat child. Because of problems with excess weight, his mom and dad constantly tried to attach Yana to the sports sections, which he, in turn, also managed to truant. He managed to lose weight only thanks to a strong desire to enter the theater school. It made him train hard. For Jan this was the first victory in life over himself.
After school, Jan, in 1965, entered the ShchukinskyTheatrical school and successfully graduated (in 1969). Then, from 1970 to 1973, the young man worked in the Central Children's Theater in Moscow, where, in general, he played comedic characters. At the end of 1970 he began to work at the Mossovet Theater. This scene he devoted 30 years of his life. And this did not become the limit of his dreams. Despite the fact that the theater was devoted to most of his life, in the late 90's, Ian began to work on the stage, because he was bored at the previous place. At 40, our hero became really famous.
As an entertainer in 1978, Ian Arlazorov,whose biography to this point was not so bright, first showed himself at Rostislav Plyatt at the jubilee. At the evening our hero was leading and conducted it brilliantly.
The debut of Jan Arlazorov (as a film actor) in 1971year was the tape "The Chronicle of the Night." But the picture was not taken in the comic genre, which is familiar to him, but on the contrary. This script contained in abundance scenes of explosions and shootings. Perhaps this affected the fact that Ian after filming this tape for eight years left the movie.
In 1979, at the sixth All-Union Contest of Variety Artists, Arlazorov became a laureate. The popularity of Jan brought the comedic role of an eternally dissatisfied cashier.
Arlazorov worked in the "Full House" with such humorists as G. Vetrov, Yu. Galtsev, E. Vorobei, S. Drobotenko, and others.
In 1997 he was awarded the title of Honored ArtistThe Russian Federation. In 2004, Ian published a book of wisdom called "Yankee." In 2008 he was awarded the Order of Honor. Acted in such films as "Quotation", "Carnival Night-2", "Merry Neighbors".
In his speeches, Jan Arlazorov often involved viewers who
became automatically its co-authors, in theirnumbers. At that time he was the only actor working directly, not being afraid of the reaction of the viewer and any development of events. From the stage, he turned to the man with the words: "Hey, man ..." The speeches cost Arlazorov enormous strength and strong tension. Only from the side it seemed that the artist works in a relaxed atmosphere. And it was worth it. The audience was delighted with his performances. Arlazorov seemed to them so close and dear, because anyone could talk to him at a concert and take part in his improvised rooms. Most of the text of his speeches, our hero wrote himself, although sometimes resorted to the help of professionals.
In the late 90's, at the Autoradio, Ian Arlazorov wasleading the program "People's Emergency". He was called "Dr. Arla Zorro". Our hero was telephoned by radio listeners from all over the country to tell us about his misfortune, hoping for help. One day, Ian helped the father of a sick daughter who needed an operation in Germany. On air, he voiced the phone number of the parents of a sick child, and one of the listeners helped the unfortunate family with money. And this case is not unique. At one time, Ian helped a sick boy who needed a blood transfusion. There was also a case when the help was needed for a disabled veteran of the Great Patriotic War who was stolen from the Cossack's gift to him for the Victory Day. For him, Jan collected a large number of autos. A disabled person who did not have arms and legs and who was not visited by anyone in the hospital, he helped to get a lot of friends who came to him after the radio broadcast. And this is only a small part of the good deeds of Dr. Arl Zorro. But two years later, for some strange reason, the transfer was closed.
At the concerts Jan Arlazorov gave himself awayviewers. And it seemed that in ordinary life he was also a merry fellow. But in fact, Ian was closed and wounded. The love that the artist gave to the viewer, he could not get himself. Probably, this was the tragedy of his life. For him, love was the most important gift, but an unsuccessful marriage did not allow him to fully receive this feeling, about which he so dreamed.
The wife of Jan Arlazorov studied, like him, at the Shchukinsky Theater School. The future wife was called Yola Sanko. After graduation they were married.
In 2007, Arlazorov was diagnosed with a tumorstomach. Despite the soy sickness and pain that she gave him, Ian came on stage and all his appearance demonstrated a wonderful state of health. In the same year, the artist celebrates his 60th birthday. All this further exacerbated the health of our hero. But he was not up to himself. Arlazorov's mother was sick with cancer, from which she soon died. His father was also very sick. And Arlazorov put all his strength into their treatment. Later, the actor performed the operation, but the disease did not recede. He was asked to do a second operation in Moscow. Arlazorov refused and went to Germany for treatment. He was re-operated there, but all was unsuccessful.
No matter how great a man may be, but illness and death spare no one. Everyone measures his time. On March 7, 2009, Ian Arlazorov died. The funeral took place on the 11th at Vostryakovskoe Cemetery.
