The bright and indomitable Russian theater and film actress - Daria Yurgens - has earned universal popularity, starring at the turn of the century in the cinematic films of Alexei Balabanov "About Freaks and People" and "Brother-2". She currently has a stellar role in the series "Sea Devils".
Honored Artist of Russia Daria Yurgens is a native of Siberian Tomsk and comes from a theatrical family in which both parents worked in the drama theater. It is noteworthy that she got on the stage when she was only a few months old, in the play Virgin Soil Upturned. And at the age of ten, Daria played Anyuta in the production of "The Power of Darkness".
Biography of Daria Lesnikova (Yurgens)
On January 20, 1968, the future actress was born in snowy Siberia. After Tomsk, as a child, Dasha moved to Mariupol, where the climatic conditions were optimal for her thermophilic nature. Due to the fact that parents, working in the local theater, often took their daughter with them, she was well versed in the intricacies of the craft. However, the school years were filled with more sports. She was very serious about fencing, and the title of CCM eluded her only because of a disqualification received for using a prohibited strike in one of the competitions.
After receiving a certificate of secondary education, Daria Yurgens entered as a free listener at LGITMiK in the Northern capital. It was with this city that her family was connected by historical family ties, because her mother and grandmother were born here, her father studied at the Theater on Mokhovaya, and her grandfather taught at the Mikhailovskaya Artillery Academy.
Since 1990, Daria Yurgens with a diploma in higher acting education begins her professional creative career. It was with the performances "Screams from Odessa", "Medea", "Moon Wolves", "Death of Van Halen" and "Othello" that her theatrical activities began at the Youth Theater. Except for the isolated case with the play "Twelfth Night", where she played the role of Olivia on the stage of the Bolshoi Drama Theater, the artist can be fully considered an adherent of the only stage that truly became her second home.
Darya Yurgens made her film debuts in episodic roles in two films directed by Alexei Balabanov: "About Freaks and People" (1998) and "Brother 2" (2000). And then the filmography of the actress began to rapidly replenish with more significant film works. The following film projects with her participation deserve special attention: "A Woman's Novel" (2004), "Sea Devils" (2006), "Vasilievsky Island" (2008), "House by the Big River" (2010), "Sherlock Holmes" (2013), "Sea Devils. Tornado "(2013)," Sea Devils. Tornado. Destiny "(2013)," Sea Devils. Northern Frontiers "(2017).
Due to the fact that the project "Sea Devils" is a priority in Daria Yurgens's cinematic activity, she practically does not appear in other films and TV series. The exceptions were the melodrama "This is what a woman does" (2016) and the social drama "Nobody" (2017). And in October 2018, the actress visited the program "The Fate of a Man" by Boris Korchevnikov, where she spoke about the details of her creative and personal life.
Personal life of the actress
The first spouse of Daria Yurgens was actor Yevgeny Dyatlov, who became the father of their child - the son of Yegor. The marriage lasted three years and was destroyed by her husband's betrayal with the Buff Theater actress Angelica.
And then there was a short-term relationship with the singer Yuri Shevchuk. This relationship was marked by an abortion, which the actress still regrets today.
Marital relations with actor Peter Zhuravlev also did not become a long-term guarantee of a family idyll. In them, it was noteworthy that the actor changed the scene to entrepreneurship.
Currently, marriage with Sergei Velikanov became the reason for the birth of Alexandra's daughter, although paternity is questioned by many.
