In September 2005, the first series of the then very popular series "Don't Be Born Beautiful" was released on television. The film about high fashion and its backyards appealed to the audience with the novelty of its idea, intrigue and, of course, the much-anticipated happy ending. This series made a huge number of actors truly famous. Among them are the courier Fedya (Viktor Dobronravov), and Alexander Voropaev (Ilya Lyubimov), and Kira's secretary Victoria Klochkova (Yulia Takshina), and the secretary at the reception Maria Tropinkina (Maria Mashkova), and many others. For the last actress, this picture was far from the first. However, thanks to this particular series, the girl became popular not only in Russia, but also in other CIS countries.

Daughter of famous father

To say that the name of the girl was not known to the public until the moment the picture was aired is to exaggerate a little. After all, sheis the daughter of the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Vladimir Mashkov. Thanks to her father, the girl from childhood was surrounded by the attention of the public. However, it was after the role of Maria Tropinkina in the series about the beautiful world of fashion that she began to be called "actress Maria Mashkova", without any explanation about close family ties with the famous actor. Let's see how the biography of the star child developed and how much the father influenced the daughter's choice of the acting profession.

Childhood

On April 19, 1985, Maria Mashkova was born into a family of artists in Moscow. Her parents at that time were not yet known to the inhabitants of the Soviet Union. The girl's mother, Elena Shevchenko, studied at the theater academy in Novosibirsk, and her father, Vladimir Mashkov, graduated from the Moscow Art Theater School. After graduation, the couple settled in Moscow and began to conquer the film industry.

After a while, their names were recognized throughout the mighty country. Elena became famous for her roles in such films as The Orphan of Kazan and Katka and Shiz. Vladimir has been more successful than his wife. He became an Honored Artist of the Russian Federation. The popular actor and director Mashkov starred in many films, made several films (his wife also played in one of them). It is not surprising that it was Mary's parents who served as a shining role model.

Parents' divorce and daughter's joy

However, the family happiness of the Mashkovs did not last long. When Mashenka was not yet four years old, her parents divorced. The daughter stayed with her mother. However, she never lost contact with her father. It is worth saying that the divorce of the parents was not a tragedy for the baby. On the contrary, she liked to live in two houses: a day with mom, a day with dad. Later, having matured, she began to love her parents and loved ones even more, giving them all her free time.

Debut in theater and cinema

The early biography of Maria Mashkova is already filled with love for theater and cinema. Since childhood, she has taken part in all possible productions, playing Snow Maidens, princesses and Cinderellas.

When the baby was seven years old, she made her debut on the stage of the Vladimir Mayakovsky Theater. The girl shared the success of her first performance with Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, Natalya Gundareva and other artists who were also involved in the performance.

Five years later, Maria Mashkova made her film debut. Director Vladimir Grammatikov invited the girl to the role of Lavinia in his film "The Little Princess". A couple of years later, a tape called “Mom, Don’t Cry” appears on the screens, where Maria Mashkova also plays. The filmography of the still very young actress is gradually replenished with worthy works. It should be said that in this picture the girl is filmed with her mother, Elena Shevchenko.

Before finishing school, Maria becomes a full member of the troupe of the Vladimir Mayakovsky Theater. At the age of sixteen, she brilliantly plays in the production of Heinrich Ibsen's "The Builder Solness". As the actress admits, at the time of entering the stage, she plunged into prostration. The only thing that worried the girl was her father, who, if she failed, everyone would feel sorry for her mediocre daughter. However, to the surprise of everyone, and the artist herself, the performance was more than successful.

Setting and changing priorities

Like some other children from famous acting families, Maria Mashkova did not seek to devote her entire future life to acting skills. That is why, after graduating from school, she chooses a serious speci alty in economics and enters the Plekhanov Academy. Parents also approved the choice of their daughter. After studying at a prestigious educational institution for some time, the girl clearly understands that drawing up business plans and calculating profitability is far from what she dreams of. And Maria enters the Shchukin Theater School. This decision was very unexpected for the girl's parents, if not shocking. Becoming a student at the theater school, she enters the course of Vladimir Poglazov. By that time, films with Maria Mashkova were replenished with one more work: she starred in the role of Svetlana in the TV series "Next-2", in the role of Anyuta - in the film "It is not recommended to offend women."

Various roles

During her studies, the girl continued to act in films. One of her teachers - Alexander Nazarov - invited Maria to shoot the series "Talisman of Love". The girl got a very difficult role: she had to play a negative in every sense, insidious assistant in the house of the Uvarovs, Stesha Kovrigin. Talent helped the girl not to get lost among many other actors, given that herthe character was far from being the main one.

Before the release of the series "Talisman of Love" on the screens, Maria Mashkova starred in several more films. The first film was the film "The Legend of Koschei, or In Search of the Thirtieth Kingdom." Here the actress was lucky enough to play the role of a young Baba Yaga. At the same time, the painting "Papa" was released. The director, producer and leading actor in this film is the father of the actress. One of the students of the hostel, where the talented son of Mashkov's character lived, was played by Maria Mashkova. The filmography of the girl at the same time is replenished with another work. The actress appears before the viewers in the image of the hilarious Olesya - the soloist of the musical group "Things" - in the film "Mom, Don't Cry-2".

Love and recognition of the public

In 2005, the first fragment of the series "Don't Be Born Beautiful" was released. It was thanks to the role of secretary Maria Tropinkina, who is also one of the organizers of a secret society called Women's Council, that the actress became truly famous. She began to be recognized on the streets, the public fell in love with her. Filming offers rained down on the girl like from a cornucopia.

At the moment, the filmography of Maria Mashkova includes more than thirty works. In addition to working with film directors, she participates in theatrical productions of the Lenkom Theater.

Two husbands

Not only did Maria Mashkova adopt her acting talent from her father. The personal life of the actress is to some extent a reflection of the life of VladimirLvovich. At twenty-nine, the girl had already been married twice. Her first husband was Artem Semakin, a shooting partner in the TV series Don't Be Born Beautiful. The reason for the divorce, according to the actress, was her husband's constant novels at work. However, the girl did not remain alone for long.

In 2009, Maria married Alexander Solobodyanik. In this marriage, the couple had two daughters: Stefania and Alexandra. The last one was born in 2012.

Currently Mashkova is not married.
