Fatal beauty Paulina Andreeva, at the age of 32, has achieved a lot both in her film career and in her personal life. This is work with well-known directors: Kirill Serebrennikov (the play “Okolonol”), Vladimir Mashkov (the play “No. 13D”), Valery Todorovsky (“The Thaw”), “Method” and other works in theater and cinema. Now the star is a happy mother and wife of one of the best directors of our time – Fyodor Bondarchuk.
It is said that as a teenager, Paulina was extremely unhappy with her appearance and prone to depression. Perhaps the celebrity was acutely worried about the divorce of her parents. But she does not like to remember this. As well as he does not like to talk in interviews about his personal life. However, we know that instead of silently suffering and hiding her flaws with her hair or resorting to other tricks, the brunette went to the school theater. Oddly enough, she also played not beauties. For example, in the production of “The Wizard of the Emerald City” she got the role of the Scarecrow. But it seems that this only hardened her character. Fight fire with fire? She later adopted her appearance. But the name still changed. Without risking becoming the second Ekaterina Andreeva, and this is what her parents called her, Katya became Paulina. Now the actress can easily appear at a social event without makeup or do a sleek hairstyle, revealing her elf ears and not feeling anxious about it. “Without painted eyelashes and red lips, I look radically different,” the actress admitted in one of her interviews. Well, the fans had reasons to be convinced of this.
At the age of 16, in order to overcome the feeling of self-doubt, Svetlana sent an application to the agency of Slava Zaitsev. Her first contract – work in Japan – brought her a thousand dollars in six months. But, having learned the wrong side of the modeling business, she decided to look for herself in something else. Having tried her hand at economics and advertising, Khodchenkova decided to enter a theater school.
Director Stanislav Govorukhin became the “godfather” of the young talented actress, entrusting Svetlana with the main role in the film “Bless the Woman”, 2003. For this work, the blonde received the Nika Prize. Other roles followed. The artist is in demand in her profession. She works hard, participating in several projects every year. Her heroines are self-confident, modern, successful beauties. Svetlana is one of the few Russian actresses who have worked in Hollywood. Picture 2011 “Spy, get out!” she presented at the Venice Film Festival with her co-stars Gary Oldman and Colin Firth. Then Svetlana was invited to shoot the blockbuster “Wolverine: Immortal”. There Khodchenkova played the role of the cruel beauty Viper. Among the last works of the actress – the role of Lisa in “Walking through the agony” and the hero’s friend in the project “Dovlatov”.
Svetlana says about her beauty: “My face is easily ‘transformed’. Make-up artists can paint anything on it, create any image. This is a great success for an actress. ” As for their favorite makeup, celebrities prefer smoky eyes and transparent glitter or arrows and red lipstick. “Both are makeup classics that suit me, I don’t like experiments in this area. The best hairstyle I think is simply beautifully styled, loose hair, ”the star admits.
The daughter of the legendary rock musician was embarrassed for a long time by her surname and appearance, which, by the way, she also inherited from her dad. The increased attention of the press to her person, like the “shadow of her father”, plunged her into a stupor. She even went to the passport office to find out what it takes to change her last name. Nevertheless, after school, Alice decided to apply for the acting department. “My grandmother, daddy’s mother Bori, when she found out that I had entered, called:“ Why did I become an artist? No voice, no appearance – nothing! Only disgrace the surname, – Alice recalled. – I have no and never had an interest in dressing beautifully, buying a twenty-fifth handbag and fifties jeans. Until now, I find the best things in the cheap shops, in the section for teenage girls – the size is small. “
But Alice has a great capacity for work and is not at all scandalous. Grebenshchikova acts in films, plays in performances, takes part in literary projects. The actress for three years led the author’s television project on the channel “Mother and Child”. In an interview with reporters, the actress once admitted that she is attracted by everything that falls under the definition of “interesting and romantic.” This is probably why she participated in several rather risky TV shows: “Ford Boyard”, “Dancing with the Stars” and “Ice Age”. Moreover, in the last project, in 2009, Alice starred, being pregnant, but preferred to hide this fact.
“Without work, my life has always been meaningless and dull. Only in the light of spotlights, theatrical, cinematic, did I come to life “, – said Grebenshchikova in an interview of that period
Now the actress is 42 years old. She brings up her son, giving him a loud surname. But the actress broke up with the child’s father after a 5-year romance. “I never had a goal to find a groom and get married as soon as possible. In my youth, I once wondered: “By the age of thirty I will move to live in a country house, I will ride a jeep and raise a child.” There was nothing about my husband in those dreams, it seemed to me that this was not necessary. This is how everything in my life turned out, ”recalls Alisa Grebenshchikova.
A girl from a provincial Russian town not only conquered Moscow, but also performed at many prestigious venues in the world. It all started back in 1985, when Valeria, then just Alla Perfilova, persuaded her first husband, musician Leonid Yaroshevsky, to go to the capital to enter the Gnesins Music School.
At the beginning of her creative career, Valeria took part in a number of competitions for young performers. In 1992, she became the winner of the Morning Star television competition, the Bratislava Lira international competition, and received the Audience Award at the Jurmala-92 competition. From 1993 to 2002, together with Alexander Shulgin, her second husband, producer and songwriter, Valeria records a number of albums and is engaged in concert activities. After a scandalous divorce, the singer leaves the stage and returns to her native Aktarsk. But Valeria is not one of those whom life could break. After signing a contract with producer Joseph Prigozhin, who later became the singer’s third husband, her career took off again.
She is nominated for many Russian pop music awards. Critics call her “Russian Edith Piaf” and “Russian Madonna”. Valeria was the face of advertising campaigns for famous international brands. In 2006, an autobiographical book “And life, and tears, and love” was published with a circulation of 200 thousand. Later, in 2009, a 16-episode film “There was love” was shot based on the book.
At the age of 53, a mother of three adult children, grandmother, Valeria is in excellent physical and stage form. Valeria pays special attention to her figure. This includes many hours of training with a fitness instructor, a healthy lifestyle, and proper nutrition.
“I am a supporter of healthy eating and have been fighting about this with my husband for 15 years,” the singer said in an interview.
The 33-year-old actress has appeared in more than 40 films. Popularity brought her work in the TV series “Thaw”, where Anna played the main female role.
The star was born into a creative family. Mom is an actress of the Vakhtangov Theater, father is a jazz musician. Parents dreamed that their daughter would become a translator, and sent her to a linguistic gymnasium. After the 9th grade, Anna successfully passed the exams as an external student and entered the Moscow Art Theater, on the course of Konstantin Raikin. The girl also tried her hand at a modeling agency, although her height is only 168 cm.
On her pages in social networks, Anna often makes fun of her “ideal” image. She believes that beauty and youth in the frame or on stage largely depend on the skill of make-up artists and stylists. And she herself is “a person who does not know how to take care of herself at all and who is lazy all the time.”
Chipovskaya tries not to advertise her personal life, as much as possible with her profession. She doesn’t like frank interviews. Anna is a rare guest at parties and rarely appears on the pages of the tabloids. Fans remember the brunette’s stormy romance with singer Alexei Vorobyov, which ended because of the explosive temperament of both. After filming the movie “Spy”, celebrities were credited with having an affair with Danila Kozlovsky. But the actors did not confirm or deny the rumors.
For several years now, Anna Chipovskaya, the star of the series “The Thaw” and “Walking through the Torments,” has been meeting with her colleague Dmitry Endaltsev. In an interview, Anna admitted that even in her childhood she dreamed not of a “prince on a white horse”, but “of travel and distant countries.”
