State of emergency on the anniversary of Vinokur: the humorist’s daughter suffered due to an unfortunate incident

The artist himself told why he quit ballet

Vladimir Vinokur celebrated his 75th birthday with big concerts. The entire metropolitan beau monde gathered to congratulate the master of humor. I could not miss the holiday of a star friend and Nikolai Baskov. The tenor, having stepped on the stage, first of all went to give flowers to the “incredible Tamarochka” – Vinokur’s wife, with whom he has been happy for nearly fifty years.

“I remember how Zeldin celebrated his hundred years here,” Baskov began. – I took part in this concert and during the intermission I went to his dressing room. I ask: “Vladimir Mikhailovich, please tell me, you have lived a hundred years. Did you have any enemies?” To which I heard the answer. “No, Kolya, what enemies! I lived, did not touch anyone! He was engaged in art, acted in films!

– I say: “Well, this is the world of cinema: one director likes you, another does not like you. Someone else is plotting some kind of intrigue! Haven’t there been enemies in a hundred years?

“No, it wasn’t,” Zeldin replied. – Dead, (obscene word).

The hall exploded with applause, and the Basque began to sing.

In addition to Baskov, Philip Kirkorov, Lev Leshchenko, Natasha Koroleva, Igor Nikolaev, Igor Krutoy, Klara Novikova congratulated Vladimir Natanovich that evening … Vinokur’s daughter Anastasia also prepared a gift for her father. The girl presented a dance number. Nastya did not hide: she had only three days for the rehearsal. However, since Anastasia is a ballet dancer, she did not take into account all the subtleties of modern dances in advance. Because of this, an emergency happened during her number.

On stage, Vinokur’s daughter with an original hairstyle – braided her hair in a ponytail. And during the performance of the dance, Nastya’s hair caught on the right sleeve of her costume. As a result, the final part of the number turned out to be crumpled. However, Nastya did not quit dancing – she worked to the end.

Upon completion, Vladimir Natanovich began to help his beloved daughter. But unhooking the hair turned out to be very difficult. Vinokur, it seems, was even confused because of such an unfortunate incident.

– Guys, who can unravel? – he turned to those present, when he realized that he himself could not cope. Nastya went backstage. And Vinokur began to humor.

“It happens to me less often, because I gave up ballet a long time ago,” the artist joked. – In principle, you yourself understand, I will look at this number again with pleasure. For the sake of dad, the child did this! Now only if the braid is untangled!

The braid, fortunately, was untwisted and Nastya appeared on stage again. The audience greeted her with thunderous applause. And she repeated the number again. By the way, that evening she came with her son – the grandson of Vinokur, whom the humorist calls his “friend”.
