Platonova Alexandra is a young film and theater actress. Everything in her life was as usual: school, institute, desire to get a higher education and a worthy profession. Until she realized that the desire to become an actress is stronger than any economy and material wealth.
Biography
Platonova Alexandra was born in Stary Oskol, Belgorod Region. Birthday - September 28, 1983, the real name of the actress - Odintsov.
Alexandra's parents have nothing to do with theater or cinema. Only my grandmother on my father's side was fond of the puppet theater and took part in performances in Kursk. Grandmother's acting genes affected. In childhood and adolescence, girls played actresses and singers. Alexandra has an older sister and a twin sister - Polina. In the 90s, a video recorder appeared in the family, they often watched videos of the performance of "New Year's Light" and "Song of the Year" with the participation of twin sisters. They dressed up in leather jackets and sang songs from popular bands, especially the Spice Girls, to the camcorder.
Alexandra graduated from school with a physics and mathematics bias and a gold medal. Mom - Olga was glad that her daughter had mathematical abilities.
But Sasha did not know who she wanted to be until the 10th grade. I saw myself as a doctor, a lawyer, and a teacher. It was said around that the profession of an economist would give her the opportunity to earn a lot of money. She did not argue and entered the university at the Faculty of Economics. While studying and working in a bank, she additionally attended a theater studio. I realized overnight that economics is boring.
New life with theater and cinema
She took a chance and applied to four theater institutes in Moscow. In all four she was accepted, but she chose the Theater Institute. B. V. Shchukin.
She studied and acted in films at the same time. In 2011, Alexandra played small roles in films:
She visited assistant director in the film "Tatiana's Day", but no one took her seriously on the set. She was 18 years old. Her inexperience amused the actors. After working for 3 months, she abandoned this business.
I tried myself in the "hospital clownery". But she soon realized that she could not entertain sick people. She is too disturbed by the feelings that she experiences when looking at suffering people.
The film "The color of the bird cherry"
At one of the parties, A. Platonova learned from her friend about the tests in the series "The Blossom of Bird Cherry". Then she was approved for the main role. Filming began in the summer of 2011 and took place in Moscow and the Kaluga region.
In the series, Sasha plays a whole life. She admits that the hardest thing was to stretch the line of the main character from 17 to 35 years old. After all, the series is being filmed in pieces without any chronology. In the morning she was 35 years old, in the evening she was 17 years old. You need to carry the whole role in your head and, before shooting the 35-year-old heroine, remember the feelings and feelings of the 17-year-old.
After the release of the series on the screen, Alexandra realized that everything turned out great for her. They were in a hurry to congratulate her in letters, by phone, at meetings, acquaintances and strangers, friends and relatives. Alexandra liked this first recognition, and she gives herself even more to theater and cinema. After all, the dream to be like Alisa Freundlich and Marina Neyelova is only on the horizon.
The most serious critics for her are her parents. They were in no hurry to praise their daughter. Sasha herself understands that a diploma from the Shchukin Institute is not a reason to consider herself an actress. There is still a lot to learn and show your skills.
