10 years ago, the last season of the comedy series "My Fair Nanny" was released, which broke all popularity records on Russian television. From 2004 to 2008 there were seven seasons of the sitcom, and during this time the audience managed to get used to the characters. It was expected that for many of them this series will be the start of a successful film career, but for some it was the only pinnacle of their creative biography, after which they disappeared from the screens for a long time.
Sergei Zhigunov, who played the main male role in the series, at that time was already a movie star, and there was no need to introduce him to the audience. He was remembered in the romantic and heroic role of a midshipman, but in the sitcom he appeared in a completely different image - a comedic one. After filming in "Nanny" the actor was covered with a second wave of popularity. However, the press then discussed more not his new role, but an affair with Anastasia Zavorotnyuk, which began with the actors during the filming. Because of this, he even left the family, but the wedding of the heroes took place only on the screens - in 2008 the couple broke up, and Zhigunov returned to his wife. After that, he continued to act in films and TV series, and is now working on two new projects.
The main role in the sitcom was the finest hour for the actress Anastasia Zavorotnyuk. In the image of Vika's nanny, viewers could see Nonna Grishaeva, Olga Shelest, Natasha Koroleva, Amalia Gol'danskaya or Anastasia Stotskaya. More than a thousand actresses applied for this role, but Anastasia Zavorotnyuk got a lucky chance - in this image she looked the most organic. According to the actress, she got to the shooting by accident: "". After the release of the series, the actress became incredibly popular. After that, she starred in many films and TV series, was the host of the rating television projects "Dancing with the Stars", "Ice Age", "Two Stars". Some of her last notable works are the crime series "Provocateur" and the mystical mini-series "Sleepers".
The youngest daughter of the main character in the series was played by Irina Andreeva. She first came to the set at the age of 9, and a year later she was approved for a role in the sitcom "My Fair Nanny". Despite the fact that her work was very successful, the early fame did not turn the head of the young actress, and she did not want to associate her future with this profession. After filming, she went to study in Europe and graduated from high school, and then - the faculty of international politics of the prestigious university "King's College". Andreeva travels a lot and rarely visits Russia. According to her, she does not plan to return to the cinema.
The eldest daughter of Maxim Shatalin was played by Ekaterina Dubakina. From her youth, she studied at the College of Music and Theater and got her first film role at the age of 14. And a year later she was invited to the sitcom My Fair Nanny. In 2006, she became a student at the RATI, and now she is one of the leading actresses of the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya and starred in films and TV shows.
The son of Maxim Shatalin was played by 14-year-old Pavel Serdyuk, for whom this role became a film debut. After that, he starred in four more films, after which he disappeared from the screens for a long time. In 2013, Pavel graduated from GITIS, and a year before that he married a member of the Ranetki group, Anna Rudneva. The couple had a daughter, but their marriage did not last long - in 2015.it became known about their divorce. The actor considered being overweight to be his big problem, and he took part in the TV program "I'm losing weight", where he managed to lose 11 kg. Recently, he does not communicate with journalists and rarely appears in public. Apparently, his stellar role is yet to come.
One of the brightest and most memorable heroines of the series was Zhanna Arkadyevna, who was brilliantly played by the actress Olga Prokofieva. At that time, she was already a fairly well-known theater actress - she had been on the stage of the Mayakovsky Theater since 1985. And real popularity came to her after filming in the TV series "My Fair Nanny". After that, she continued to play in films, and also tried herself as a TV presenter. Today, the 55-year-old actress has more than 50 works in her filmography.
The role of the ironic, wise and charming butler was played by Boris Smolkin, who at that time was a famous theatrical actor - he performed on the stage of the Musical Comedy Theater since 1972. Popular popularity came to him after filming the series. The actor said that he played such a hero for the first time: "". To date, the filmography of the 70-year-old actor includes about 80 works.
Unfortunately, the sitcom "My Fair Nanny" was the last work in the cinema of a wonderful actress, favorite of the public, Lyubov Polishchuk. The audience did not suspect at what cost she was given the shooting in the comedy series. On the screen, she joked and burst into laughter, and behind the scenes she fainted from severe back pain. She had to shoot in a special corset, and several times she was brought to the site directly from the hospital ward. In 2006, a malignant tumor of the spine took the life of the actress.
They decided not to replace her heroine in the 7th season of the series with another actress, and even this would hardly be possible - no one could oust her from the memory of the audience. Life as an eccentric tragicomedy: the "non-Soviet" face of Lyubov Polishchuk.
