One of the most popular actresses to date is Elena Ksenofontova, who in various ratings is the undisputed leader. This woman is so talented that, at times, in order to play the role magnificently, she only needs one glance - she is so skillfully ingrained in the fate of her characters.

For quite a long period, the name of the actress was known only to the great theater lovers. But after Valery Todorovsky invited her to appear in the famous TV series "Taiga: Survival Course", she began to receive a huge number of proposals to work in various films. On many posters there was this sonorous name - Elena Ksenofontova. The disease, which so suddenly invaded the fate of a woman, gradually receded into the background. And the actress, at last, could afford to choose only the best roles.

Little Elena Ksenofontova. Biography. Disease, so unexpectedly broke all plans

Elena Yurievna was born on the seventeenth day of December one thousand nine hundred and seventy-two in the family of a simple engineer. Children's years passed in the territory of Kazakhstan, in the small town of Khromtau. Remembering those times, she often mentions her grandmother - she always smelled so sweetly with fresh milk - and her beloved grandfather with a mustache, like Budyonny.

Then the family moved to the suburbs of Moscow, the city of Serpukhov. The mother of the well-known actress tried to give her daughter the best and fairly wide education. And she succeeded. At school Elena had very good grades, and favorite subjects of the future actress were literature and history. In addition, she studied art. I mastered four classes of the school for playing the piano. Has achieved significant achievements in sports, fascinated by track and field athletics.

From a young age, her dream was to become a popular actress, so that her name appeared on the TV screens: Elena Ksenofontova. The disease, which emerged from nowhere and completely unexpectedly, not only did not give the opportunity to devote one's life to acting, but also forced to give up any thoughts about further study. All the forces and time were given to the fight against a terrible disease.

This terrible news

In the year nineteen ninety-nine, after graduating from school, Elena initially wanted to enter the Institute at the Historical Archaeological Faculty. Of course, the dreams of becoming an actress did not leave her, but her mother stood firm on her: "This is not a profession! Only through my corpse!" and so on.

Having woken up one morning, Elena felt a wild headache. The spasms did not stop, they constantly vomited bile. Endless consultations of doctors and professional specialists began. They put an endless number of droppers, injected injections, did various procedures and as a result a variety of diagnoses. The most terrible of them, which Elena heard Xenofontova, was cancer. I did not want to believe that this was happening with her, and even more so at that age.

But Elena is not the woman who immediately surrenders. The more you think about the disease, the more it will absorb you. And the more difficult it is to learn that you can even be in a wheelchair. She is! Still quite a young girl - Elena Ksenofontova! Cancer is really quite a terrible disease and spares neither old people nor youth. And such a diagnosis is often perceived as a sentence.

The fight against the disease and the beginning of acting career

Lena decides not to delve, but simply to live, and let everything go on as usual. The most important thing for her was the movement. After all, people very often die when they think that their time has already come. And many seriously ill patients, on the contrary, survived if they abandoned all thoughts about their illness.

At the same time Ksenofontova Elena Yurievna meets her first husband. They rent an apartment, they have constant difficulties with money, and the only desire at that time was to live not richly, but in comfort. The most vivid memory of those days is how she went to a savings bank to buy a lottery ticket in the hope of winning. After all, then it was the only option to get rich, which Elena Ksenofontova could imagine. Her personal life was well established, and on the horizon there was an opportunity to translate her second dream into reality.

The woman with whom she and her husband rented an apartment was a former theater-goer and, after a little chat with Elena, immediately suggested that she try to enter the theater. So, four years after graduation, a new talented student, Elena Ksenofontova, appeared at VGIK. The disease receded before the strength of this woman's will, as if giving her a second chance.

Training in VGIK and the first roles

Teacher Xenophonous becomes Joseph Reichelhaus. He is also the head of the theater "The School of Modern Play". She became a beloved pupil and very soon received her first cherished role. In the years of training Elena played Tanya in "Mrs. Leo", Dulcinea in the production "With greetings, Don Quixote" and other roles.

Lena performs on some stage with such professionals as Alferov, Durov, Steklov. And, of course, the talent of the beginning actress was judged on merit. Immediately after graduation, she receives an invitation from six Moscow theaters at the same time , but she remains in the "School of Modern Play".

So you want something new

But a year passes, and the actress decides to leave the troupe. The first opportunity to play in the theater, where Jigarkhanyan leads, failed. The proposed roles in the production "Homecoming" seemed uninteresting.

Elena Ksenofontova wanted something more. The main roles, broader prospects - she dreamed about it. She returns to her native team, and Dzhigarkhanyan does not leave a decision to get a talented actress to her. And very soon Lena starts working in two theaters.

Main roles in the theater and further perspectives

At Dzhigarkhanyan, she has performed several significant roles in her acting career. This Vera Filippovna in "Heart is not a stone," the countess in a magnificent production of "Mad Day, or The Marriage of Figaro", Natasha in "The Three Sisters" and some other works. But here the actress realizes that the theater is not everything for her. Her name is known only to fans of theatrical productions, and the mass audience does not yet know who Elena Ksenofontova is. Her photo is familiar only to fans of performances and productions. And we wanted to reach great heights.

Of course, she was invited to film earlier, but she was so keen on working on the stage that she simply ignored those roles. Popularity to the famous actress came only in two thousand and two. And it began with the series "Taiga", in which Todorovsky persuaded her to participate. In the movies, Elena showed her faithful love for the profession no less than on the stage of the theater.

Courage, recklessness or professionalism?

During the filming, the actress even refused the services of the understudy. Unable to swim well enough, she was not frightened and dived into the mountain stream. It's amazing how devoted to the art of reincarnation is the actress Elena Ksenofontova. The disease seemed to be frightened by such pressure and persistence of this woman. It's impossible to say that she left without a trace, but Elena still did not pay attention to her, even during sometimes exhausting shootings.

In the next series "Heaven and Earth," where she plays the role of Barbara, Elena also performs equally dangerous stunts. But she is already pregnant. And the term is quite large - eight months. Then there were shooting in the series "The Best City of the Earth", where she played Marina Slutskaya, and "Cadets", in which she plays the role of Mary.

No less interesting was the actress and in the image of Helen in the "Red Chapel". Moreover, during the filming of this series, many scenes were completed already in the course, especially at the insistence of Xenophonova herself. So convincing were her arguments for script writers.

The main roles to date

Helen is maximally and actively withdrawn. The most famous roles: Streshinskaya - "The Hunt for Geniuses", Silanteva - "Carambole", Countess Panina - "Satisfaction". Quite famous films where Xenophonov plays the main roles are "Daughters-mothers", "The Night of Closed Doors" (played by Sasha) and the sensational "Serger", where she sang Sofia Pechorin.

And to date, any film with her participation - this is necessarily a bright main role. The movies for her are an incredibly addictive game without the right to fail. Finally, the dream came true, and everyone knew who Elena Ksenofontova was. The photos appeared on the posters of the concert halls, countless interviews were sent. They began to recognize her on the street. And she appreciates her audience very much and does not allow herself a single mistake.

A beautiful mother and a loving spouse

The first relationship ended after eleven years of cohabitation. Once Elena understands that their relationship has reached some unlimited calm. There was indifference to each other. And she is an actress, and she needs a constant emotional uplift. Parting was quite heavy. It's difficult if eleven years all is well, life is arranged, but something important has gone. But, no matter what, they remained good friends.

Then on the set of "Taiga", in two thousand and two years, Xenophontov gets acquainted with Neretin Ilya, who becomes her second husband. They have a wonderful son, who was named Timothy. But this relationship has come to an end. Now they are divorced, but Elena considers Ilya a good father and never interferes with his communication with the child.

Another marriage and the birth of a beautiful daughter

As Elena is talented and professional, probably, so she is amorous. And, as the actress herself claims, she often fell in love with her film partners. And, fortunately, it was mutual. Such is Elena Ksenofontova, whose personal life is full of emotions, loves and, of course, an infinitely devoted maternal instinct.

And three years ago, on the tenth of February, in one of the elite clinics in Moscow, the actress gave birth to a second child. A delightful girl of three kilograms was another gift of fate for this woman. And no one, looking at a happy mother, will say that Elena Ksenofontova is sick.

It is because of the constantly reminiscent of her illness, the actress for a long time could not get pregnant. The first child was born when Elena was thirty. Then - again a long period of fruitless attempts and, finally, my beloved daughter Sofia.

To date, Xenophonova prefers not to advertise her private life, and the only thing that is known about her civil husband is Alexander's name and that he is the father of her daughter.

Not a word about your own health

For a long time Elena did not consider it necessary to discuss problems with her own health. Then it becomes more and more famous and popular with the general public. Now she often can hear, walking along the streets: "Look, this is Elena Ksenofontova!" The disease that struck the beloved actress, and any new information on this subject is of interest to many. Nobody wants this wonderful woman to stop enjoying her work with the audience.

Unfortunately, doctors do not put any definitively comforting diagnoses. And the actress tries to simply negotiate with her body, which for many years struggles with this terrible disease. It remains to be hoped that fate will also be supportive of such a courageous and talented actress as Elena Ksenofontova. Cancer, like all previous years, will leave her the opportunity to love and be loved by her beautiful children and caring husband.
