Elena Panova

Avid theatergoers know her as a wonderful theater actress who performed many bright and complex roles. But a wide audience Elena Panova (Elena Panova) became known for her work in the movies. The most striking of them are the roles of Galina Zhgut in "Taiga Romance" and Vicky Ermakova in the movie "Shadow Fight".

Childhood and teenage years

The future actress was born on June 9, 1977 in Arkhangelsk. Her parents were most closely connected with the world of art, so the girl from childhood grew up in a creative atmosphere. Her mother, a piano teacher, instilled in Elena a love for music. Her father, the director of the local youth theater, introduced the girl to drama.

Parents did not insist that the daughter followed in their footsteps. Lena herself also did not think about a career as a musician or actress. From an early age, she practiced ballet, wanted to become a famous dancer. Later she realized that she would not be able to realize her dream, and decided to go to a theater university.

The first attempt to enter the Moscow Art Theater Studio School in the capital ended in failure. Being too confident in her own abilities, Elena did not prepare for the entrance exams, so she failed miserably. Not wanting to give up what she had planned, the girl worked on herself for a year and still became a student of the theater university.

Creative career

After graduating from the institute in 1999, Elena was accepted into the troupe of the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater. During her service on this stage, she had the opportunity to play many diverse roles:

Sonia Marmeladova in "Crime and Punishment";
Katerina in "Thunderstorm";
Glagoleva in The Woman's Kingdom;
Mavka in "Forest Song".

In addition, Elena Panova collaborated with the capital theater-studio under the direction of Tabakov, where she played Serafima Korzukhina in the play "Run".

In addition to working on stage, the actress is much filmed in the movies. Her cinematic career began in her student years: in the third year of Elena lit up in the film "New Year's Story".

Shortly before graduating from the Moscow Art Theater Studio School Panova received an offer to star in the Swiss comedy "Berezina or the Last Days of Switzerland". Despite the fact that the public met the movie very cool, critics noted the worthy game of the young actress.

Real fame came to the artist in 2001 after the release of the sensational series "Border. Taiga romance. Panova got in it the role of a nurse Galina - perky and confident woman, forced to drag on a characterless husband. For this work, Elena received his first award - the State Prize of the Russian Federation.

The second film, finally cemented the status of Panova famous actress, was an action movie "Shadow Fight. After its release on the screens Elena began to receive many offers to work. In a short period of time, the filmography of the actress added dozens of bright projects, among them:

"MUR is MUR";
"Mom for Hire";
"Dr. Tyrsa";
"Dark World";
"Shuttlewomen."

Panova willingly agrees to play diversified roles, does not refuse to participate in TV series, but to star in sitcoms that last for years, refuses, considering such work a factory stamping, far from the real art.

Personal life

Despite the profession, Elena does not like publicity and about her personal life prefers not to spread. It is known that for a long time she was not married. Violent romances in her life happened, but none of the men who were around, to see in the role of husband and father of their children actress did not want.

Everything changed when on the set of the movie "Shadow Fight 2" Elena met with director Anton Megerdichev. Feelings arose not immediately, the romance flared up a few years later. The couple for a long time hid the relationship. Even their wedding was a secret, the celebration was attended only by relatives and close friends.

About the fact that she will have a child, the actress learned during the filming of the movie-catastrophe "Metro". Work had to work in extreme conditions, despite this daughter Maryana was born absolutely healthy. In 2016, the actress gave birth to another girl, who was named Lida.

Panova spends a lot of time with her daughters, but at the same time has time to act in movies and play on stage. The actress does not hide that her husband helps her in her career, periodically offering bright roles in his projects. Elena has a lot of plans.
