Wide popularity came to this actress only after 35 years, when the TV series "Doctor Tyrsa", "Former", "Sleepers", "Big Game", "Storm", etc. appeared on the screens. Previously, the profession was not of paramount importance for her, because for 18 years the most important and important role for her was the role of the wife of actor Andrei Panin. When he was gone in 2013, she had to learn to live anew.

Since childhood, Natalya dreamed of theater and cinema, but her parents considered the acting profession frivolous and insisted on her admission to a medical school. But when the time came to submit the documents, Natalya secretly from her parents took them to the Moscow Art Theater School. The fact that she managed to do it on the first try made them change their minds and believe in the talent of their daughter, who, even during her studies, was involved in many performances of the legendary theater.

Once a young teacher-assistant Andrei Panin came to their course. At the time of their acquaintance she was 19 years old, he was 32. Together they played in one play - "Ondine". Natalia did not feel love at first sight, at first he interested her as a very extraordinary and talented artist. But Panin immediately drew attention to the bright red-haired student and tried to imperceptibly fill the entire space around her: he appeared in the same companies, helped to work on the image at rehearsals, gave advice, "unexpectedly" appeared next to the curtains, in the corridors, in the dining room. Later Rogozhkina said that Panin simply did not leave her a choice, and she herself did not notice how she fell in love.

The actor at that time had a family in which his daughter grew up, the actress had no experience of family life, but she met with a classmate, with whom she broke off relations soon after meeting Panin. 2 years after they met, the actress moved to his dorm, later the theater helped them get a one-room apartment. From that moment on, a new era began in her life. Later Rogozhkina said: ""

They lived together for 18 years, and later the actress admitted that their relationship was not idyllic - rather, it was like a roller coaster, "a mutual madness that stretched out for a long time." The actors were completely different people with opposite views on family life. Andrei Panin was a holiday man and a chaos man, he appeared when he wanted, and then disappeared indefinitely. At first, he seemed to Natalya a person without flaws - she attributed all the oddities in his behavior to the eccentricity and scale of the personality. By the time they met, he was already a mature man, strong and self-sufficient, and Natalia had no choice but to accept everything as it is and come to terms with the role of a satellite next to this huge planet.

The model of the family, which Natalya saw in her father and mother's house, turned out to be incapacitated in their relationship with Panin. Her father was a balanced man, delicate, showing great respect for women, and her husband was his complete opposite - the actor was very impulsive, unrestrained, quick-tempered, categorical and uncompromising. Natalia had to put up with these shortcomings. She understood that a male actor requires a lot of attention and support, and more than once offered him a shoulder during his frequent depression and nervous breakdowns. Panin once admitted: "".

At the same time, he turned out to be a wonderful father for their two sons - loving, caring and attentive. For them, he has always been an absolute happiness and a holiday. Their first son was born in 2001, and before the birth of the second, they finally decided to legalize their relationship and signed.

In these relations, Natalia could not and did not want to put her own creative realization in the foreground. For 18 years, her main, most important and beloved role was the role of wife and mother, and her career remained secondary. Therefore, for a long time she did not ask for roles, did not offer the directors her candidacy, but was content with what she had. She had enough of her husband's success in the profession, and she herself starred from time to time and was not widely known. Panin was the star in their family.

Everything changed when he passed away in 2013. After his premature departure, the circumstances of which remain a mystery to all to this day, Natalia lost her footing. The pain of the loss was aggravated by the storm of accusations that fell on her that she was not there at that terrible moment, could not protect and save. Since then, she has rarely appeared in public and has refused all interviews.

The work became a real salvation for the actress. What remained secondary for many years finally came to the fore. Employment in theater and cinema turned out to be a chance for Rogozhkina to become interesting for herself, realizing that creative potential that had not been fully used before.

It so happened that Natalia Rogozhkina played all of her most striking roles after Andrei Panin left. In three seasons of the “Former” series, the actress played the role of the main character's mother; central roles, the actress created a vivid image in the TV series "Storm". In addition, Natalia continues to perform on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater. A. Chekhov.

Since then, a new stage has begun in her life. The actress changed her image by making a short haircut. And she did not tell anyone about the changes that had taken place in her soul and in her personal life. Only the closest friends know about it. Natalia's friend Daria Yurskaya said: "".

After Panin left, Natalia was supported by his friend Gennady Rusin, and she was immediately credited with an affair with him. In fact, they were connected only by friendly relations, besides, Rusin was married. For a long time Rogozhkina was left alone, and only recently her friend told that she finally decided to let a man into her life. The actress herself does not comment on this fact and does not name her chosen one.

It is hard to believe that more than 7 years have passed since his departure: What Andrei Panin did not have time to do.
