On February 20, 1920, a brilliant film director was born, winner of five Oscar Awards and the Golden Palm Branch of Cannes Film Festival Federico Fellini. And all his life there was a muse near him. Federico Fellini and Juliet Mazina - the history of cinema is impossible without this brilliant duet.
They met each other in 1943, when he was 21, and she was only 18. The terrible, heavy time for Italy is completely unsuitable for any kind of art or love. But does love asks when she come?
Story dating. Touching and slightly naive.
Then Juliet Mazina worked as a radio friend, and Federico Fellini did not even think about the quarry of the director. And it is not known how their fate would have formed if Federico did not fall in love with a charming Juliet and did not invite her for a dinner in an institution, which was clearly not on his pocket a young script. Incredibly delicate, gentle, caring and smart (she saved these qualities to death) That evening, she ordered the cheapest dishes so as not to put a "poor artist" in an awkward position. "Poor artist" has already studied the menu in advance, stacking with urgent means and at the end of the date a gorgeous gesture extracts a pack of bills from the pocket. And the size of the tip, left as the waiter, is shocked. Well, and what girl will stand against such a gorgeous story?
Pygmalion and Galatia.
For fifty years of marriage, they never changed roles. Federico loved to let dust in his eyes, he liked to live and create with a scope and feel the star. Juliet considered herself not very pretty, not too talented and adored ... even idolized his brilliant spouse. She played him in his endless game of greatness and not when he did not even give him a dream to doubt the brilliance of the spouse. Federico loved her for her tenderness, ease of nature, optimism and real immaculate female weakness. Perhaps he considered himself a pygmalion, which in his hands got a unique material. He made Mazina the greatest actress. And for it, she was also grateful to him all his life. But who was actually a sculptor, and who sculpture? "The woman who created Fellini" said contemporaries about Juliet Mazin. And Federico did not object. Films "Road", "Night Cabiria", "Juliet and Perfume", where Juliet played a major role, brought this star couple recognition and glory.
Together in Mount and in joy.
Alas, they united not only love and talent, but also a common tragedy - their child died in infancy, and the health of Juliet did not allow them to have other children. Federico and Juliet. As many as five decades, they suffered together, played together, they won together. "Juliet, do not cry"! - said Federico Fellin from the stage, when he received Oscar and saw a loving wife and a faithful girlfriend did not hold back sobs. They were together until death and death too. A terrible disease - Lung's cancer began with Juliet much before the ailments of Fellini. Juliet refused to go to the hospital, because I was hidden from her husband, I was afraid for him. Even when they lay in the neighboring chambers (Fellini came to the clinic in the pre-sulter state), she was not recognized in a deadly diagnosis. In the fall of 1993, they were discharged from the hospital and were going to celebrate the Golden Wedding. But fate ordered otherwise. On October 31, 1993, the great Federico Fellini died. He died and she also died with him, although a few months silent Shadow Juliet Mazina existed in the sense of the human world. Fortunately, God is generous and did not make Juliet wait long. She left for her beloved in March 94 years. On the general tombstone, the inscription: "Now, Juliet, you can cry ..."
