Maria Kazankova: biography and personal life of the actress

Previously, the cinematography was a little different, there were not enough films produced, actors and actresses knew all along, loved and worried about them as if they were relatives. Now everything is different. In our computer and cosmic age on television screens an endless series of serials are coming, the heroes of which are sometimes difficult not to love, even to remember. This statement was easily destroyed by actress Maria Kazankova - young, daring, brave and charming. She managed to draw attention to her person and fell in love with half of the country. Maria conducts a stormy, adventurous life, often flashes in public, gives interviews, but no one really knows anything about her. Even they call her only Mary, others - Marina, although these are two completely different names. We suggest you get acquainted with this charming girl closer. We are sure, after learning about how and how she lives, you will certainly become her fans.

Happy childhood

In the then Soviet Union, in 1981, on August 4, another Muscovite, the future actress Maria Kazankova, was born. Her biography consists only of pleasant moments. Mom's mother is a doctor, father is a military pilot, there is Ellina's sister born in 1978. Even before the beginning of the restructuring, the Kazankovs' family, for reasons they do not disclose to anyone, moved to Italy. There Maria went to the Italian school, which she graduated satisfactorily. From her father she got a fearless character and a love of extreme adventures. So, Maria recalls that behind the wheel of the car she absolutely calmly sat at the age of 9, tried to drive and fell in love with this business for life. She took up driving professionally, showed excellent results, got a pilot's license, joined the Italian national team in motorsport and quite successfully performed in Formula-Ford and in motor racing "Mazda MX5".

The first tests in the movie

Being a schoolgirl, she decided to try herself in the acting art restless Maria Kazankova. Biography of the actress she started with an innocent deception. At first she, like thousands of other girls, appeared at the casting of one of the films. At that time she was only 15 years old, and the director needed older girls. Maria was not frightened of such an insurmountable obstacle, she brought with her the passport of her older sister, which she looked like. The director liked the blue-eyed, long-legged beauty, and he gave her a small role, being absolutely sure that this is an eighteen-year-old Ellina, not fifteen-year-old Maria.

First successes on stage

After graduating from the Italian school, Maria Kazankova decided to seriously engage in acting, but she learned the profession not in Italy, but in her native land. Returning to Russia, she easily entered the VGIK. Already in her sophomore year, a young, energetic and talented actress, striving to be independent in life, came to work in the drama school "School of Modern Play." Despite the fact that the career was developing well, after graduating from the VGIK, Maria left everything and flew to Rome, where she again went to the casting, now the play "Big Fox", which was then staged in the famous Roman theater "Glauko Mauri". She seemed convincing to the director, and, rejecting the Italian actresses, he took the Russian girl for the Venetian role. With the theater "Glauco Mauri" Mary went on a seven-month tour of the cities of Italy and Switzerland.

Working as a model

At some time the family of Kazankovs returned to Moscow. The elder sister was carried away by the work of the animator. The youngest has collected a backpack and with 600 euros in a pocket already time time has gone to Rome. There she spent a long time trying to find a suitable job, but the money was melting, but there was still no business. Accidentally, Maria met her friend, who at one time worked as a model for the demonstration of wedding dresses. This man again invited her to her salon, where she became the face of the Radiosa brand. Some wonder if Maria Kazankova worked in Maxim magazine. There is no exact answer to this question. The actress herself does not say anything about it and never mentions it. In an endless and bottomless Internet network, you can find her erotic (quite decent) photo, but nowhere is it reported that they were made for the "most men's magazine". Maria about her work model does not respond very enthusiastically, calling her only a thousandth part of the work of an actress.

Extreme in the clouds

Maria Kazankova's character went to her father. He was a military pilot, flew on fighters. The girl too was drawn to the sky, but not as a passenger of airliners, and not even as a flight attendant. At the age of 18 she finally decided to jump with a parachute.

My mother was categorically against it, but my father humbled himself, only asked me to take him with him just in case. Maria recalls that when she stood on the threshold of the open door of the plane, clouds floated beneath her feet, and the earth was completely invisible, it seemed to her that this was some kind of unreal world. Stepping into the abyss, she held her breath, but soon felt a previously unknown euphoria. And when the dome of the parachute opened, and she began to soar like a feather in the sky, a feeling of incredible tranquility and ecstasy appeared. Now Maria has more than 300 jumps on her account. Later, the desperate girl learned to fly and control planes, so that now in the sky she can fly on a par with birds.

Extreme under water

On the conquest of the heights, Maria Kazankova did not stop. She decided to subdue the depths of the sea. An example for her was again the father, who in Russia is a freediving champion. This sport is diving to depth without scuba gear and other aids. Only fins and a mask are allowed. In 2016, in the freediving competitions at Bonaire, Maria set a world record by diving 154 meters. This was recorded by international representatives and recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. It is noteworthy that Maria for her record dive chose a spectacular mermaid outfit. Now she has opened a private school, where she trains everyone who wants this complex and beautiful sport.

Working in a movie

Against the background of her extreme hobbies, Maria Kazankova also does not forget to work as an actress. Films with her participation, released in Italy, we are not very well known. But, perhaps, someone had time to see pictures of "Commes", "The Girl from the Plaza of Spain" or "The Republic of San Gennaro", perhaps someone saw the series "Capri", in 2006-2008, was on Italian television. If not, do not worry. In the Russian film distribution there are about a dozen paintings, where Maria Kazankova played. The most memorable and cultic ones are:

• "Poor Nastya" (the role of Olga Kalinovskaya) ;

Maria is no less enthusiastic about taking part in theatrical productions and in the reality show. In Moscow, she works in the "Theater of the Moon", and in Italy, under the patronage of her friend worked in the theater "Festino", but that was before her arrival at VGIK.

Constantly living in such a furious rhythm, it is almost impossible to find time for personal life. Perhaps that's why Maria does not tell her anything about her. In one of the interviews she mentioned that she has a very happy family - mom, dad, sister. Between all of them love reigns and full mutual understanding. And Maria noticed that personal happiness is a hope and a feeling of the future, accompanied by strong emotions. About her husband and children she was not told a word, but the Internet still leaked information that she had a daughter, Angelica, looks very similar to her lovely mother.
