Theatrical life attracts young people just as the flame of a candle attracts night moths. A dispassionate fate does not interfere with the creative process. Only those who have the strength and courage to bare their souls in front of the audience enter the stage. Yes, natural abilities are required for the servants of Melpomene. Chance and persistence play an important role. For Maria Sehon, the path of life was drawn from above. She did not even think to resist the secret power and overbearing magic. Today, viewers know and adore her not only in their native land, but also in other countries.
Nomadic childhood
Some of the ignorant citizens, looking at the photo of Miriam Borisovna Sekhon, may recognize her as a gypsy. And it will be wrong. This modest beauty is just a Russian theater and film actress, a famous singer. The biography of Maria, as her name sounds in Russian transcription, can be read as a fascinating story. The girl was born on September 21, 1983. On this day, Orthodox Christians celebrate the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary. Parents who were serious about religious holidays named the girl in honor of this holiday.
The family lived in Moscow. My father served as an actor in various theaters. Mother worked as a journalist. A child from an early age watched how people of creative professions live. From an early age, the girl showed interest in music, singing and dancing. In winter, she tried to practice figure skating. Experts have determined that Miriam has perfect pitch. On the one hand, this natural ability helped her in her professional activities. On the other hand, the girl did not tolerate singing "past notes" or inaccurately played chords.
In 1989, my father was invited to take part in the international project "Peace Caravan". The event was unusual for those times, but attractive. This kind of work does not often fall to the actor. After some deliberation, the whole family got together and went on a tour of Europe. Mother from a journalist retrained into a dresser and dressmaker. As it turned out later, the "wandering" artists were warmly welcomed by the audience in all countries. Maria easily mastered French, Italian and German.
The family traveled in this way for almost five years. Returning home in 1994, Maria went to school. Having received a certificate of maturity, the girl decided to get a higher professional education at GITIS. I entered easily and just as easily unlearned at this famous educational institution. In 2006 she organized a vocal and instrumental group "Tatiana", in the repertoire of which songs sounded distant pre-war and post-war years. The girls were popular with the audience and received condescending reviews from critics. Maria, with her individual flavor, performed compositions by Claudia Shulzhenko, Anna German, Isabella Yurieva.
Theatrical stage
After graduation, the graduated actress Miriam Sehon remained in the “Studio of Theater Arts”, in which the graduates of the entire course remained to play. Maria's theatrical career was progressing successfully. Some venerable directors do not welcome the actions of the actors when they start working on other venues. This practice is eligible. A free atmosphere was formed in the Studio from the very beginning. The main director Sergei Zhenovach, on the contrary, stimulated the actors to diversified development.
Throughout the existence of the Studio, Maria has played many leading and supporting roles on the stage. She equally managed to reincarnate into the character of a classic play that has been played in all theaters for a hundred years. And to convey to the viewer the idea or feeling that was put by the novice author in the mouth of the stage hero. Her heroine in the play based on the novel by Nikolai Leskov "A Wasted Family" organically looks against the background of modern processes taking place outside the walls of the theater. The experiments that the director conducted were always supported by the troupe.
Maria is constantly invited to take part in performances on the stage of other theaters. In the play "Russian Novel" on the stage of the theater. Mayakovsky, she perfectly kept the given line in the character of her heroine. In the production of "Sugar", which was shown on the stage of the avant-garde theater "Praktika", not everything worked out. For Maria, this was a rare lesson that she took note of. She steadfastly endures the troubles that inevitably occur in life and work. Film directors specially came to watch Sehon's performance on stage.
Work in the frame
All-Russian fame was brought to the actress by filming a movie. Many critics divide the actors into theatrical and cinematic. In part, this qualification has a foundation. But practice shows that for a talented performer there is not much difference in which site to work. The work of Miriam Sehon once again proves this. Musical training and vocal skills helped the actress to create a harmonious image of the friend of the legendary singer Pyotr Leshchenko in the film "All That Was". Surrounded by famous actors at that time, she looked very, very dignified.
The filmography of the actress today has more than one and a half dozen paintings. For many spectators and specialists, it was unexpected to see Maria in the role of a notorious revolutionary. The cult director Nikita Mikhalkov invited her to enter the image of Rosalia Zemlyachka. The fiery, uncompromising and cruel revolutionary performed by Miriam Sehon remains in the memory of people who have watched the film for a long time. This fact once again confirms that the potential of the actress has not yet been fully revealed.
You can talk about other vivid images that Maria presented on the screen. Love for the profession prompts her to solve all the tasks set with full dedication. Today everything is working out for her. In her personal life, the actress is in complete order. She is married. Husband and wife of a colleague in the shop. A daughter is growing up in the family - Margarita was born in 2011. Mom affectionately calls her Shusha and often takes her to work. It seems that the next generation of the creative dynasty is growing up.
