Ukrainian model and actress Oksana Shelest gained universal fame after she appeared next to the popular domestic actor Vladimir Mashkov (star of the series "Liquidation"). By the way, this bright brunette with brown eyes is not a relative of TV presenter Olga Shelest. These two women are just namesakes.
The current wife of actor Vladimir Mashkov - Oksana Shelest - is often mentioned in the press as a model and actress with Ukrainian roots. However, there is practically no detailed information about her biography and creative career in the public domain. And the mention of the film Let's Do It Quickly (2001) directed by Sergei Bodrov Sr., filmed in the USA, in her filmography is made only due to the fact that the main role of the mafia ringleader Oleg in it is assigned again to V. Mashkov.
The history of this film in the part concerning Shelest's participation in it is very confusing, since there is a fact of her acquaintance with Mashkov, but she does not appear in the credits even in the episodes.
Biography of Oksana Shelest
The critically small amount of information about Oksana Shelest does not even allow us to say the exact date and place of her birth. It is only known that she was born in some Ukrainian town, and the year of her birth varies between 1977 and 1980. The actress herself does not comment on these "white spots" of her biography, as if further warming up interest in her person.
In 2004, the actress performed a cameo role in the film “Daddy” by Vladimir Mashkov, based on the novel “Sailor's silence” by Alexander Galich. The interested public admits that Shelest's filmography may contain film projects shot in America. It is also rumored that this mysterious brunette with a radiant smile has succeeded in the modeling business, which are allegedly supported by the words of her son Andrey. In one of his interviews, he willingly said that in the United States, their family has a home where they like to relax in their free time.
Personal life of the actress
At the beginning of the 2000s, Ukrainian model Oksana Shelest met the star and sex symbol of Russian cinema - Vladimir Mashkov. This significant event in her life happened when Mashkov was still married (for the third time) to the journalist Ksenia Terentyeva. Since the wife did not agree to be next to Vladimir on the set, which promised to last more than one month, nothing prevented his romance with Oksana from developing rapidly.
As the ubiquitous press writes, the hot brunette was able to establish the path to the heart of a celebrity not only in a romantic field, but also by surrounding an unpretentious life on a yacht with maximum comfort and perfect order. Interestingly, Oksana herself did not give Vladimir consent to the marriage for a whole year, which intrigued him pretty much. However, in 2007, the wedding did take place. After the celebration, the couple left for the United States, where the star was expected on the set.
Oksana has a son, Andrei (1995) from her first marriage, and she took her current surname from her ex-husband. Andrei and the People's Artist of Russia have developed rather warm and friendly relations, so that the atmosphere in their common family remains very positive.
