Lyudmila Gurchenko Obituary
Gurchenko died at her home in Moscow on Wednesday, Russian news agencies reported. The cause of death was not immediately reported, although a Kremlin statement said she died of a serious illness.
She became a star at age 21 when she played the lead in the 1956 comedy "Carnival Night," which also was the debut of the noted director Eldar Ryazanov. He again directed her a quarter-century later in another of her most noted roles, as the waitress in "Station for Two."
President Dmitry Medvedev said Gurchenko's passing was "an irreplaceable loss for national culture" and characterized her as "truly a people's actress," the Kremlin statement said.

When the roll is called up yonder will Lyudmila Gurchenko be there? I sure hope so. All who place their faith and trust in our Lord Jesus Christ are assured of eternal salvation through his precious blood of atonement. If you are one of her fans then surely you are also one of Christ's disciples for he dearly loved each of us. Rest in peace for Christ brings peace to all!

I am truly sorry for your loss. It's comforting to realize that God never forgets those who have died. Rather, He views each human as individually important and special. The scriptures promise that there will be a time when we will be able to see our loved ones again. My prayers are with your family at this time. May the God of comfort grant you peace.
