Miraculously, there were no casualties.
In anger, Valentin Gaft was terrible and extremely dangerous. One of the main beauties of Soviet cinema knew this firsthand.
The screen star valued professionalism and respectful attitude towards colleagues much more than attractive appearance in actresses. These qualities, as luck would have it, were lacking in Alexandra Yakovleva. Working with her on the New Year’s fairy tale “Sorcerers” turned into hell for the legend.
The actress was in no hurry to get to the set and spent three hours applying makeup. If a celebrity didn’t like how she looked in the frame, she would immediately throw a tantrum with the lighting crew. In addition, she constantly forgot her words, which is why one scene sometimes had to be re-shot several times.
When Yakovleva once once more failed to utter the right line, Gaft became so angry that it almost came to murder with extreme cruelty. Valentin Iosifovich attacked his on-screen partner and began to strangle her. Fortunately, they were separated. But following that the artist flatly refused to work with Alexandra Evgenievna. Subsequently, they were filmed only separately.
