In the acting environment, there are many examples when children follow in the footsteps of their parents and become actors. Talent and beauty are also often inherited! But the audience is unlikely to know that many modern movie stars have mothers who were also real screen stars at one time! Which of the daughters of famous actresses managed not to stay in their shadow and make a successful film career - further in the review.

Ravshana Kurkova is one of the most demanded and popular contemporary actresses. But few people know that she is the continuer of the acting dynasty. Her mother, Rano Kubaeva, is a Soviet actress and director, the star of Uzbekfilm. It was she who, by her example, influenced the choice of her daughter. Ravshana was born and raised in Tashkent in the late 1990s. She moved to Moscow, was educated as a philologist, and then decided to devote herself to the acting profession.

Tatyana Lyutaeva became famous after the role of Anastasia Yaguzhinskaya in the film "Midshipmen, forward!" After that, she received many offers from directors, but she followed her husband from Russia to Lithuania, where her daughter, Agnia Ditkovskite, was born and raised. She also became an actress, although she does not have an acting education - she dropped out of a theater university, having studied for only a year. At the age of 18, Agnia played her first major role in the film "Heat", on the set of which she met her future husband, actor Alexei Chadov. Tatiana Lyutaeva still performs on the theater stage, in one of the performances ("Toy Seller") she played with her daughter.

In the creative baggage of the young actress Anna Chipovskaya there are already more than 35 roles. Hardly many people know that her professional path was predetermined from birth - she grew up behind the scenes, watching the play of her mother, the theatrical actress Olga Chipovskaya. True, the parents hoped that their daughter would become a translator, and they sent her to a linguistic gymnasium. But she made her choice on her own and entered the Moscow Art Theater School. Now mom often comes to the performances of her daughter, although she is very worried about this: "".

Aglaya Tarasova intended to become a political scientist, but once she was offered a cameo role by the director of the series in which her mother, the famous actress Ksenia Rappoport, starred. From childhood, Aglaya accompanied her on the set: "". For a long time, Aglaya hid the fact that her mother is a famous actress. Everyone found out about this only after Tarasova herself achieved considerable success in cinema. Together with her mother, she starred in the film "Ice", which recently appeared at the box office.

Hardly anyone knows that the popular modern actress Maryana Spivak, who became famous after the TV series "Companions" and Zvyagintsev's drama "Dislike", is a representative of the third generation of the female acting dynasty. Her grandmother is the legendary Soviet actress Zhanna Prokhorenko, in whose filmography there are more than 50 works, her mother is Yekaterina Vasilyeva, also an actress known to millions of viewers for the films You Never Dreamed of and Guest from the Future. The grandmother, whom everyone in the family called "Zhanetik", became a second mother for Maryana - when Ekaterina Vasilyeva got married for the second time, her daughter remained to live with her grandmother. Parents discouraged her from entering the theater, but she still made her choice in favor of the acting profession. After all, her professional path began even before birth - in the film "The Farewell of a Slav" her mother starred while pregnant.

Valentina Talyzina did not expect her daughter to follow in her footsteps - she studied at a language school and was going to enter the Institute of Foreign Languages. Her decision to become an actress came as a complete surprise to the whole family. But it took her years to prove her creative independence. At first, she acted in films and performed in the theater under the name of her mother, but after the third marriage she kept the name of Khairov. The actress admits that it was a relief for her - everyone ceased to perceive her exclusively as the daughter of a legendary actress and constantly compare them. Today she performs on the stage of the Theater of the Russian Army and acts in films and TV shows.

After the release of the film "Tabor Goes to Heaven" Svetlana Tom was nicknamed the main gypsy of the country. This role became the most famous in her creative biography, although even after that she starred a lot and often disappeared on the set, leaving her daughter Irina Lachina with her parents. She later admitted that she felt guilty about not giving her enough attention as a child. And Irina, although she knew about all the difficulties of the acting profession, also chose this path for herself. Today she is a sought-after actress, known for the series "Lady Boss", "The best city in the world", "And happiness is somewhere nearby", "Bear's Corner".

Looking at photographs of representatives of famous families, it is often difficult to believe that they are not the same age: Star moms who look like their girlfriends next to their daughters.
