Gurchenko's creativity will continue to amaze and strike forever: she was able to create such images that, once seen, are remembered for a lifetime. It is impossible to remain indifferent after watching the films "Carnival Night," "The Favorite Woman of Mechanic Gavrilov," "A Station for Two," "Love and Pigeons," "My Sailor Girl," "Applause, Applause," and many others. Fiery, emotional, bright, charismatic, unique in her own way, different in each of her roles, she forever captivated not only the audience but also her partners. Among them are Oleg Basilashvili, Yuri Nikulin, Sergey Yursky, Nikita Mikhalkov, Oleg Tabakov, Nina Doroshina... Of course, she was also lucky with directors — Eldar Ryazanov, Vladimir Menshov, Konstantin Voynov, Andrei Konchalovsky, Kira Muratova, and others.

It was also revealed in the book "Lyusya, Stop!" where she enthusiastically and humorously talks about life, filming, famous people, and, of course, about her family and beloved grandchildren. She was truly a happy woman and generously shared this happiness with the reader.
