Today she is truly a global star.
Childhood and adolescence: the search for self
Svetlana was born, year of birth -1983, January 21, in a small town near Moscow, Zheleznodorozhny. Since childhood, she lived with one mother rather poorly. Parents divorced, and the girl did not see her father until her adulthood. All this forced Sveta at the age of 12 to start working: she helped her mother clean the stairwells, painted the walls, swept the yard. Poverty developed in the young talent complexes, she literally at the eyes became withdrawn and insecure. In addition, she studied at the lyceum, where there were children from wealthy families.
The main asset of the girl at that time was her extraordinary beauty. And Khodchenkova found a way to use it for reasonable purposes. She entered the modeling school of Slava Zaitsev. Attractiveness and the ability to present herself allowed to build a career quite quickly. At the age of 16, she flew in from a six-month shoot in Japan with a decent income (spent it on installing a telephone - a luxury at the time). Svetlana loved being a model and was already envisioning herself at Milan Fashion Weeks. But, having received several ambiguous offers, she became very disappointed in this business and soon left it.
Being a high school student, the girl dreamed of devoting herself to medicine. But chemistry, physics and biology were very difficult for her. After school she applied to the faculty of economics at the Institute of World Economy. Despite the fact that the competition was quite easy, for a long time there did not stay, and after a couple of months of study transferred to the Faculty of Advertising. But even there she was disappointed. Creative nature Svetlana did not find space for realization.
To be an actress, she never dreamed. After several failed attempts to find herself, she wondered why not try to realize in this field. And she did not fail! Shchukinsky Theater School became her alma mater. She attended courses for two months, was the only one who entered from her preparatory group.

She had to reincarnate from an 18-year-old carefree girl to 45-year-old wise woman, a few hours to apply makeup, even undress for the "naked" scene. But she steadfastly withstood everything, put 100%, managed to prove that she was not in vain approved for the role. And these labors were not left without an award: unknown before Khodchenkova became a real star. She even received a nomination for "Best Actress" at the Nika Awards.
