People's Artist of Russia (2016) Marina Nikolaevna Esipenko, despite the emphasis in her creative career on theatrical activities, is still better known to a wide audience for her film work. The film projects with her participation “Aleksandrovsky Sad” and “Everything is just beginning” aroused particular interest.
For the last three years, with a nine-year break, Marina Esipenko continued to perform songs of her husband Oleg Mityaev. It is interesting that the wife's vocal abilities give the musical compositions a special flavor, which the author of the lyrics himself has repeatedly noted. The most popular hits include "The Cart of Life", "Bacchic Song", "The Crow Flies to the Crow" and "If Life Deceives You".
Biography and career of Marina Nikolaevna Esipenko
On July 30, 1965, in Omsk, the future People's Artist of the Russian Federation was born in a family far from the theatrical and cinematic life of the country. Since childhood, Marina has shown extraordinary artistic abilities, attending a children's theater studio. And after graduating from high school, she easily became a student of the legendary "Pike" (course of Maria Panteleeva and Evgeny Simonov).
In 1987, Marina Esipenko received the coveted diploma and, as an aspiring actress, became a member of the troupe of the Vakhtangov Theater, where she goes to her native stage to this day. Theater critics have repeatedly noted a special way of getting the actress into her characters, when she immerses herself very deeply in the images of her heroines. Moreover, the presence of a unique identification in the performance of roles excludes spiritual scarcity and depravity due to the fact that she is very selective in the choice of suitable heroes.
In 2004 Marina Esipenko won the prestigious "Nail of the Season" and "Golden Lyre" awards. And from the theatrical repertoire of the actress, the audience was most fond of the performances "Princess Turandot", "Boar", "Zoykina's apartment", "The Queen of Spades" and others.
The cinematic debut of the actress took place even when her name was well known to the theater community. In 1993, she first appeared on the set in the film project "The Soul Dies". Today, the filmography of Marina Esipenko is filled with more than a dozen films, among which the films "Alexandrovsky Garden" (2005-2007) and "Everything is just beginning" (2015) should be especially highlighted.
Personal life of the actress
Behind the shoulders of the family life of the People's Artist of the Russian Federation today there is a twelve-year romance with the famous actor Nikita Dzhigurda and the only official marriage with the Russian actor and musician Oleg Mityaev.
In this strong and happy family union, in 2000, a daughter, Daria, was born. Marina Nikolaevna, although she does not interfere with the independent choice of her daughter when determining her future profession, still hopes that she will not follow in the footsteps of her parents.
Currently, the popular artist is actively involved in theatrical life, works on television and is recording her husband's songs.
