Daria Mikhailova learned all the delights of filming as a child. The debut of the young actress was a role in the film by Gennady Shumsky "Blue Portrait". Dasha, who was then eleven years old, very touchingly played the girl Tanya, who came with her parents to visit the village. A very bright, romantic and emotional film about first love, as if determined the further path of Daria Mikhailova in art.

Chicken

Dasha was born on February 22, 1965 in a Moscow acting family. Her parents are graduates of the Shchepkinsky Theater School. Mom is an actress of the Benefis Theater, her father was a director on television, in 1977 he went to America and became a theater director there. He passed away in 1983.

The girl found herself at the school desk early. When six-year-old Dasha was visiting her grandmother in Simferopol, her childish imagination was captured by a lovely picture: on September 1, smart girls in white aprons and lush bows were going to school … Dasha persuaded her grandmother, head of the Simferopol University department, to send her to school. After studying for ten days, the first grader arrived in Moscow. Parents decided not to interrupt their studies. In the class, Daria Mikhailova was the smallest. The blond, skinny girl was called a chicken by her classmates.

Choosing Fate

After filming the Blue Portrait, the girl starred in eight more films. In 1979, Dasha played the girl Tanya, who turned out to be a hostage in a plane hijacked by bandits. The adventure film was called The Rape of Savoy. Dasha's partner in the tape was Alexander Mikhailov. The public immediately dubbed Mikhailova the daughter of a famous actor, although there are no family ties between them.

Dasha's artistry was obvious, so she did not think for a long time about what profession to associate her future fate with. Knowing and loving cinema well, Daria Mikhailova chose, of course, the Institute of Cinematography - VGIK for admission. The course was recruited by the famous Sergei Bondarchuk. But at first he was not in Moscow, and other teachers looked at the applicants. Tour after tour Dasha was brilliant. At the last stage, when two or three people applied for a place, the master came to the exam to look at his future wards. And here Dasha was confused, fell into a stupor from fear and could not effectively read the program. Bondarchuk did not take it. Having sobbed and consoled herself, the girl submitted documents to the theater school. Schukin. She entered here without difficulty and graduated successfully.

Movie romance

Best roles

The most notable roles of the young Darya Mikhailova were Valentina in the film of the same name by Gleb Panfilov based on the play by Alexander Vampilov “Last Summer in Chulimsk”. This play is loved and staged by theater directors. But then, in 1981, the film, where the role of a young waitress in love with an investigator, was piercingly played by sixteen-year-old Daria Mikhailova, turned out to be a real revelation. Another expressive role of Daria is Lida in Igor Talankin's war film Starfall, based on the works of Viktor Astafiev. And again, the actress embodied an image far from pathos heroism, imbued with subtle psychologism. Touching fragility and elusive tragedy emanates from Raya Kolotovkina, nicknamed Starlet from Boris Savchenko's tape "Even before the war." Young actress Daria Mikhailova played the role of an orphaned girl who came to live with her uncle in a remote village lost in Siberia.

Daria often played unusual girls whose love can enrich and change the lives of heroes. Such is her Dasha in the film "Seraphim Polubes and other inhabitants of the Earth." There were also characteristic roles in the creative fate of the actress that required an adventurous string from her - the bride in the film "Tricks in the Old Spirit", Rita in the "Island", Olga in the comedy "Good luck to you, gentlemen!".

Work in series

She admitted that she is very demanding of literary material, she immediately sees a “raw” script, work with which threatens professional failure. Among the series in which Mikhailova starred are The Fifth Angel, Two Fates, Adjutants of Love.

What is the president's wife thinking?

The picture "Kiss not for the press", released in 2008, was coldly received by critics and did not cause a stir among the public. However, it was a very interesting attempt to tell how people from the highest authorities think and feel. In a duet with Andrei Panin, Mikhailova played the wife of a man in whose image the audience saw parallels with President Putin.

The film library of the actress is quite large - it is about fifty films. There is no doubt that the excellent actress Daria Mikhailova will delight us on the screen more than once.

Actress's personal life

In 1985, Daria became the wife of actor Maxim Sukhanov, with whom she played in the theater. Vakhtangov. The actors had a daughter, Vasilisa. Having matured, the girl followed in the footsteps of her parents, became an actress and even appeared on the stage of the Vakhtangov Theater. Now Vasilisa is 25 years old. Mikhailova's marriage to Sukhanov broke up in 1991.

In 1998, Daria acted as a director. It was a performance based on the novel by F. Dostoevsky "The Brothers Karamazov", it was called "Case No. …". From the novel, Daria very professionally extracted the most dramatic plot - love knots between Mitya Karamazov, Katerina Ivanovna, Grushenka (her actress played herself) and Mitya's father. Mikhailova was looking for an artist for the role of Mitya for a long time. Seeing Vladislav Galkin, she realized that he was not only the best Mitya, but also the only one with whom she would like to connect her fate. Passion between these people broke out instantly. In the fall of 1998, they played a wedding. The spouses did not have common children.

Don't judge people

A lot of “unctuous” articles have been written about the novel by Galkin and Mikhailova, who turned out to be kindred spirits. The more tragic were the publications that appeared after the untimely death of a popular actor in February 2010. Then a lot of impartial and even frankly rude criticism fell upon Daria. Mikhailova was reproached for her unwillingness to “save” her husband who suffered from drinking bouts, for callousness towards his parents, for selfish behavior regarding the inheritance. The actress stopped giving interviews. It is known that the relationship of the spouses escalated that year, the divorce papers were waiting in the court. No one can fully know what happened between these people who loved each other.

Daria Mikhailova, whose filmography in the minds of contemporaries is strongly associated with the roles played in tandem with Galkin, returned to the set, having experienced great grief. One of her last film works is Anna in the melodrama "Dear Blood".

Recently in the pressthe news flashed that Daria had a fan, a businessman from Germany.

This is a spectacular woman and talented actress Daria Mikhailova. Films with her participation will undoubtedly be included in the golden fund of national cinema.
