Exactly 25 years ago on the screens there was a serial "Helen and children" which became the present cultural phenomenon. "Elenomania" has reached Russia: along with chewing gum "Love is" and the game "Tetris", the series became one of the symbols of the youth culture of the 90's.
With the executors of the main roles, the show played a cruel joke: most of them became "hostages" of one role, and there were no other bright films in the career of the actors. However, they could be realized in other spheres. Judge for yourself.
Helen - Helen Rolle (50 years old)
The role of the main character went to the beginning actress and singer Helen Rolle. The girl suddenly became famous, but the sudden glory did not please her at all. Being by nature a rather modest person, Helen tried to avoid everyone's attention. All the free time from work, she spent away from the hustle and bustle of Paris, in her home town, where she restored her strength, walking through the woods and working on a potter's wheel. When the shooting in the series ended, Helen took a two-year timeout, and then, after a good rest, decided to take up the singer's career, which she dreamed of from an early age.
