As they usually say, nature rests on children. The offspring can take on the beauty and charm of their parents, but usually the talent is rarely passed on to the children. But this rule did not affect our today's heroines at all - along with excellent natural data, these successful modern actresses also inherited the acting talent of their mothers. It turns out that their parents at one time shone who on the stage, and who was noticed and accepted by the directors.

Ravshana Kurkova

Ravshana was born into an acting family: her parents were actors, and her uncle worked as a director and wrote scripts. Her mother Rano Kubaeva graduated from VGIK and actively acted in films. Perhaps the audience remembers her roles: this is an inspector from the children's film "Train from the Childhood Station", Zebo from the fairy tale "Constellation of Love", wife of Alim from the drama "Clinic", bookseller in the film "Reserved Hill". Ravshan's daughter often accompanied her mother to the shooting, so we can say that her childhood was spent at the Uzbekfilm studio.

However, the girl was in no hurry to choose a profession. After graduating from the Tashkent branch of the University of London, where all teaching was in English, it was not difficult for a talented girl to enter the Moscow Pedagogical University at the Faculty of Philology. After graduating from the university, Ravshan worked at one time on television. However, the acting genes took their toll - the girl finally made her choice. By the way, her mother became interested in directing early after her acting career. And a few years ago, the star tandem mother-daughter starred in the film "About Love-2".

Anna Chipovskaya

Anna also received creative skills from her parents. Her father is Boris Frumkin, who is known as a jazzman and leader of the Oleg Lundstrem Orchestra. It was thanks to him that my daughter learned to play the piano perfectly, which later came in handy: in the play "Three Sisters" the girl independently performs several works on a musical instrument. And her mother Olga Chipovskaya is better known as a theater actress. For a long time she played at the Vakhtangov Theater.

One of her most memorable works was her role in the film "Calm", based on the works of I. S. Turgenev. Life behind the scenes seemed to little Anna full of magic. As she later recalled, she "liked a thousand roles, a thousand stories." But the parents wanted to give their daughter the prestigious profession of a translator, so the girl graduates from a linguistic gymnasium. However, the stubborn, after successfully passing the exams, goes to study at the Moscow Art Theater School and at the same time is invited to the troupe of the Tabakerka Theater. The success of her work on stage does not go unnoticed, and the doors to the big cinema are opened for the girl.

Sofia Kashtanova

Alla Kashtanova is a Soviet actress who managed to star in only three films: "The Ballad of a Song", "My Happiness" and "I See the Purpose." Her theatrical activity is somewhat more diverse: she worked at the Moscow Art Theater from 1978 to 1989, toured a lot. However, the upbringing of her daughter Sophia took all the time, and the woman devoted herself entirely to this occupation. For a time she was the muse and inspiration of her archaeological husband, who later became interested in scripting. But after a few years, the marriage broke up, and the mother, along with her 8-year-old daughter, went to the country of a new Mexican lover.

Here Sophia studied Spanish and English, as well as Latin American dances. In addition, equestrian sports became a new hobby of the girl. So for her dream - to become an actress - Sophia was well prepared. In 2004, after the death of her father, Sophia returned to Russia. Externally passed secondary school exams helped her to enter the Moscow Art Theater School on the course of Dmitry Brusnikin and Roman Kozak. You know her further fate - after filming in the film The Thaw, Sofya Kashtanova becomes a sought-after actress. And her mother has now mastered the profession of a historical guide, and in her free time she is fond of dancing and yoga.

Alexandra Shevchuk-Afanasyeva

A girl with a radiant gaze was born in the family of the composer Alexander Afanasyev and Honored Artist of the Ukrainian SSR and the Russian Federation Irina Shevchuk. Her mother starred in such hits of the Soviet years as "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" (Rita Osyanina), "Far Away, Beyond the River" (librarian Nina), "White Bim Black Ear" (Dasha), "State Border" (doctor Galya), as well as in modern films "Sonya-Golden Hand" (Mrs. Maria), "Secrets of the Institute of Noble Maidens" (Princess Maria Razumova), "Guardian Angel" (Avdotya) and many others. Irina Shevchuk managed to act together with her growing daughter in the film "Corral".

However, Alexandra was not eager to become an actress. She entered the famous VGIK to study a completely different profession, choosing the Faculty of Economics and Production. And only after a few years and many roles, Sasha reopened the doors of her native university to fill in the missing knowledge of acting.

The career of the actress developed successfully when a terrible car accident changed all plans. Alexandra suffered greatly, and now prefers to pay more attention to her family. But still, viewers can see her play at the Nikitsky Gate Theater, to which the actress has been devoted for more than ten years. And her mother now also occasionally pleases the audience with film roles, and also continues her activity as an organizer of the "Kinoshock" festival.

Aglaya Tarasova

It is impossible not to know the famous mother of Aglaya (more precisely, Daria). This is a wonderful actress of our time - Ksenia Rappoport. It was with the light hand of her mother that the girl fell in love with the profession of an actress. The summer after graduating from high school and entering a university as a political scientist, she toiled idle, and the star mother took her to the shooting. There, the girl was offered to star in one episode. Then in another. So Aglaya got involved in the world of cinema, and no longer wanted to leave it. In 2019, this young actress won the Golden Eagle Award for her roles in the Ice film series.

Maryana Spivak

Maryana continues family traditions, being an actress in the third generation. Grandmother - actress Zhanna Prokhorenko - was a popular favorite. It was she who played the role of high school student Ksenia in the film "And if this is love?" Zhanna Prokhorenko has received many awards and left a great artistic legacy. Her daughter Yekaterina Vasilieva also became an actress and is known to the general public for the film You Never Dreamed of.

So, no matter how young Maryana resisted family traditions, she was nevertheless persuaded to enter the theater. Currently, Maryana Spivak is loved by both eminent Russian and foreign directors. There is another hobby of the actress - dubbing cartoons and dubbing foreign films.

Daria Drozdovskaya

Daria was born into a respected Moscow family. Her mother is the famous Soviet actress Mikaela Drozdovskaya, and her father is cardiologist Vadim Smolensky. But at the age of eight, Daria was orphaned - an accident during filming took the life of her mother. The girl categorically disliked the stepmother, and after a while the child actually moved to live with the family of actress Alla Budnitskaya and director Alexander Orlov. Daria always preferred classes in a theater studio than studying at school, so she subsequently went to the Shchukin school to study the profession. Now Daria Drozdovskaya is a popular film and theater actress.
