Georgy Epifantsev was born on the last day of the spring of 1939 in the distant microdistrict Kerch. About the childhood actor, jumped that he was called in honor of the artist, it is known to the offensive little. One of the cineviccopedias even claimed that in reality the famous artist was born in 1931.

In articles about the founder of the acting dynasty of the Epifantsev, an analogy between the tragic fate of Georgy Semenovich and the words addressed to his character are often held:

The Epifantsev during the tour in the Transcaucasus saved a friend, pulling the singer from the rapid flow of the Kura River, the first began to record the songs of Bard on the tape tape. An element of the partnership with Vysotsky was a kind of game: Vladimir portrayed an intelligent Muscovite, and a friend of coarse provincial.
Like many creators, the Epifantsev drank a lot. In Hmly, the artist remained kind and generous, but the drunkenness slowed down the brilliantly started acting career, imposed a print on a personal life.

Death
The social changes of the last decade of the 20th century have adversely affected Georgia Semenovich: the artist "divorced" with the theater, which served 30 years, the role was absent, money too. Pride and disgust to the bureaucratism did not allow a former celebrity to issue a pension that the Epiphanse was right. To feed the family, the artist dived into the market element - first traded paintings written, and then cigarettes, alcohol and clocks on metropolitan streets and stations.
In the summer of 1992, a documentary film was filmed about the star. In the frame, the artist eats a nomudinal food and demonstrates artistic fabrics, hesitates with his son on the phone and uses an abnormative vocabulary, reads his poems with the words "Love others, like himself" and shakes the ashes from cigarettes at the neighbors from the bottom, "Live His". A few days after the filming of the Epifantsev died, so the film is called a "monologue before death."
