Jeanne Epple burst onto the movie screens quickly and obviously for a long time. Her unforgettable image of a red-haired beast is willingly exploited by filmmakers and theater directors. Therefore, the stream of serials with Zhanna in the title role will excite the dreams of housewives for a long time.
Red beast
But Zhanna, in addition to cinema, is still actively entering the theatrical stage in entreprise performances. Just what is their duet with Stas Sadalsky in the comedy "Divorce in Moscow". And television exploits her data in various talk shows. And this is not surprising, because Epple graduated from GITIS at one time, played at the Comedy Theater, and then at the Moscow Drama Theater. Stanislavsky.
Zhanna's parents, although nominally far from art, made friends with people famous in these circles. Zhanna was born in Moscow, but her childhood was spent on Sakhalin with her mother's parents. She returned to Moscow after the divorce of her parents, when she had a stepfather. The father also started a new family, where his son Nikolai, Jeanne's half-brother, was born. Zhanna studied well at school, studied ballet and music, so the choice of a further educational institution was not for her.
After GITIS, Zhanna starred in her first full-length film "The Scarlet Stone", though only in an episode. Then there were "White Clothes", "Dodger and Hippoza" and a long silence for as much as 8 years. During this time, Jeanne managed to divorce her first husband after the terrible tragedy that happened in their family. Jeanne lost her baby in her seventh month of pregnancy. And her husband Alexei Bakai could not cope with the loss of the heir. Shortly after the official divorce, Bakai emigrated to the United States.
New life
After the divorce, Jeanne was in no hurry to get married, but created a formal family with Ilya Frez, the son of the famous cameraman. In 1991, the couple had a son, Potap, and Zhanna devoted herself to the child. And in the world of cinema, a crisis just happened and Jeanne was not offered worthy roles. In the two thousandth year, Zhanna gave birth to her second son, Efim, and four years later in her life happened “Balzac's age or all the men are cool …” - a series that rightfully returned Epple to the screens. And for several seasons, the magnificent four kept viewers and raised the ratings of the NTV channel.
But with the advent of popularity, the actress's family broke up. The husband could not survive such a sudden demand for his wife. A peaceful separation did not work, even though the couple was not officially registered. There was a division of property and public accusations from both spouses.
Now Jeanne's personal life is as diverse as her roles in cinema and theater. With whom she just was not credited with novels. But while the actress is officially free. The main thing in her life is work, children and … grandson. And so far, for Jeanne, this is the happiest combination.
