Sergei Mikhaylovich Tikhonov - Soviet young actor, leading roles in films of the 1960s. Born in Moscow, lived on Krasnaya Presnya. Parents Mikhail and Ekaterina Tikhonov had nothing to do with cinema. They worked in production, raised two sons - the eldest Eugene and the younger Seryozha. He became famous thanks to the role of Johnny Dorset in the short story "Leader of the Redskins" in Leonid Gaidai's trilogy film "Business People", although before meeting him, the director planned to shoot Nadezhda Rumyantseva in this role. The role of Malchish-Plokhish in the film "The Tale of Malchish-Kibalchish" was invited by director Yevgeny Sherstobitov, whom Tikhonov was familiar with from the film "Business People". In 1966, Sergei graduated from the 8th grade of school No. 90 of the Krasnopresnensky district. After filming the film Dubravka, he tried to enter VGIK (the course of S.A. Gerasimov and T.F. Makarova), but was not accepted. He served in the Soviet Army, and soon - on April 21, 1972 - he died after falling under a tram at the age of 21. He was buried in Moscow at the Khimki cemetery.
