Once Kostin called the director to him and said that she would not climb into someone else’s family, but the girl was already in love with the actor. Lyudmila Gurchenko herself envied the beauty of Kostina. Once Lyudmila Markovna brought the girl to tears: “You are not an actress, just a pretty girl.” Yankovsky hugged his mistress and whispered: “She just envies you.”

At the end of the filming, the paths of Yankovsky and Elena dispersed. The artist could not throw Yankovsky out of her head. The couple resumed relations only after 10 years, when there were several unsuccessful novels and marriages behind the beauty. Kostin did not worry that the actor was married, she again went headlong into these feelings.
