Childhood of the actress
The birthplace of Dapkunaite is Vilnius. In January 1963, a daughter was born to a family of Lithuanian intellectuals - a meteorologist and a diplomat. From childhood, the girl was instilled with a love of art. Due to working circumstances, Inga's parents soon left the Republic of Lithuania and settled in Moscow. Inga spent vacations with them, and they, whenever possible, tried to travel to their native lands. The connection between young Inga and her parents was strong.
The first pages of Dapkunaite's biography are almost inseparable from Vilnius. She spent her childhood surrounded by a nanny, and grandparents, and close relatives in the person of her aunt and uncle.
Prerequisites for an actress career
According to Inga's stories, her creative debut took place at the age of four. The girl's grandmother was a theater worker and organized concerts of opera singers. Inga was often with her in the theater and knew about the backstage life firsthand. One incident played a fatal role in the career of the future actress. She had to go on stage in the production of "Chio-Cio-san" as a little boy - the son of the heroine of the Italian star - Virginia Ziana. At first, Virginia took such an idea with hostility, but the debut of the young actress inspired her so much that she gave all the flowers presented to her to Ingeborg. Such cases recurred periodically. Inga regularly came into contact with the stage and world famous celebrities.
In addition to acting experience, Dapkunaite learned the basics of two sports - basketball and figure skating.
University years
When the time came to decide on a profession, Inga seriously thought about how to connect her life with ballet and opera. The theatrical dramas, in which she performed since childhood, the actress perceived as nothing more than a hobby, so she decided to enter the conservatory. But on the course of Jonas Vaitkus, she met her first husband, Arunas Sakalaus, and her acquaintance with the eminent mentor turned her whole life upside down. He persuaded Inga to play serious dramatic roles. Then she was lured away by Eimuts Nyakronius, and in 1984 Dapkunaite made her film debut.
Film career
The film "My Little Wife" had some success. The actress became recognizable, but not so popular, since the films in which she starred did not receive much public recognition. The first movie fame came after Intergirl, which was released in the late 1980s. Later, at one of the performances, Inga met John Malkovich, and he invited her to London to play in the play "Speech Errors".
International success
After the collapse of her first marriage, in London, Dapkunaite met her second husband, director Simon Stokes. However, the marriage lasted only 10 years. Work in London ended with Inga's move to Chicago. "Monologues of the Vagina" is a production that brought popularity to Dapkunaite in America as well. However, the actress did not forget about the cinema, filming in the cinema went in parallel with her participation in the production. The time has come when Inga began to receive for her film awards.
In Inga's filmography there are many famous roles played in sensational films - "Burnt by the Sun", "Mission Impossible", "Seven Years in Tibet", "Winter Heat". The press actively writes about her, journalists from all over the world follow her life. In 2013, Dapkunaite gets married again - now it is Dmitry Yampolsky, a famous restaurateur.
