Not a single New Year's fairy tale is complete without this heroine. But if in folklore the Snow Maiden was portrayed in the image of a little girl, then in modern culture she is most often represented as an adult girl. In the movie, the role of the Snow Maiden went to the most beautiful actresses. Which of them was able to create the most magical image of Santa Claus's assistant - further in the review.

One of the first in Russian cinema in 1968, the image of the Snow Maiden was embodied on the screens by Evgeny Filonova, one of the most beautiful Soviet actresses. In her performance, the Snow Maiden looked very touching, tender, fragile and a little "alien". They say that the actress herself in life was very similar to her heroine. This work became the only major role in her poor filmography - Evgenia Filonova played only 5 movie roles. True, in the image of the Snow Maiden she appeared more than once - every year during the winter holidays she worked at children's parties. At the age of 42, on December 30, on the eve of New 1988, the actress passed away - she had cancer. Until now, Evgenia Filonova the Snow Maiden is called one of the most beautiful and magical heroines of Soviet cinema.

The daughter of Evgenia Filonova Marina said: "".

In 1971, Natalia Bogunova played the role of the Snow Maiden in the film A Spring Tale. Her creative destiny was also not successful - she played only 13 roles in films, the brightest of which was the teacher Svetlana Afanasyevna in the film "Big Change". In the 1970s. she often went to doctors and was treated in psychiatric hospitals - the actress suffered from a mental disorder. In 2013, after a heart attack, Natalia Bogunova passed away.

The Snow Maiden looked sweet and friendly, performed by Irina Borisova in the film "New Years Adventures of Masha and Viti" in 1975. This actress also starred a little in films - there are only 10 works in her filmography, and the role of the Snow Maiden was one of the last - after 1977 she no longer appeared on screens.

Irina Alferova dreamed about the role of the Snow Maiden since childhood, and in the 9th grade her dream came true - the teacher chose her for the role of the Snow Maiden at the New Year's school holiday. Alferova said: "". And in 1985 she appeared on the screens in this image - in the film "Snegurochka Called?" she played the role of a lonely woman, the theatrical actress Svetlana Alexandrovna, who moonlights as a Snow Maiden on New Year's holidays.

In the post-Soviet era, the Snow Maiden often became a character in comedies - or rather, not the fairy-tale heroine herself, but actresses who wanted to earn extra money in this way on New Year's holidays. So, in the film "Who Comes in a Winter Evening" in 2006, Maria Aronova and Andrei Myagkov played a couple of theater actors who earn extra money on New Year's holidays as Santa Claus and Snegurochka.

In 2007, 3 films were released, in which actresses played similar roles - not the fairy-tale heroine herself, but theatrical actresses trying on this image on themselves during the New Year holidays. Svetlana Pismichenko played the role of the Snow Maiden in the comedy melodrama "An urgent need for Santa Claus". She told about this film: "".

In the melodrama "My mother is a Snow Maiden" the main role was played by Maria Poroshina, who turns from a business woman into a fairytale heroine, and then into a foster mother for an abandoned child, forcing him to believe in miracles again. For the first time, the actress tried on the role of the Snow Maiden at a New Year's party in kindergarten, when her mother sewed her a fur coat from an old sheepskin coat and made a shiny kokoshnik with pendants. Poroshina said: "". The next time she played the role of the Snow Maiden in the melodrama "The Fourth Wish" in 2003, where her first husband, Gosha Kutsenko, was a filming partner. And 4 years later she was reincarnated as a fairy-tale heroine in the film "My mother is a Snow Maiden", and this time her second husband, Ilya Drevnov, was filmed with her.

In the film The Irony of Fate. Continuation”was an episode in which the main character ran into drunken actors on the stairs, who congratulated children on New Year's Eve in the images of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden. Their roles were played by Mikhail Efremov and Evgenia Dobrovolskaya. This duet turned out to be very colorful, and although their roles were episodic, the audience probably remembered these characters.

Very often, different actresses tried on one more fabulous image: Cinderella in the cinema from 1899 to the present day.
