Despite the huge success of the series "Two Fates", about Ekaterina Semyonova it cannot be said that this is an actress of the same role. In the film industry, it is popular and in demand to this day. In addition, fans of Melpomene can see the artist's reincarnations on the stage of the theater.
Childhood and youth
Ekaterina Tengizovna Semenova was born on April 18, 1971. She is a native of the small urban-type village of Monino, in the Moscow region. Nevertheless, her parents at that time were famous cultural figures: they devoted their whole lives to cinema. Little Katya was the only child in the family.
Looking at her parents, the girl dreamed of a film career since childhood. And the parents, of course, were not at all opposed. Thus, from the age of 11, Katya became a student of a theater studio. And after 6 years, she without a bit of a doubt entered the famous Moscow Art Theater School.
And everything seemed to be going as well as possible - the girl successfully passed all the qualifying tests. But the obstacle on the way to admission was the unsatisfactory mark in the school certificate in algebra. The situation was aggravated by the reluctance of the commission to give young Semyonova another attempt to retake the exam in the ill-fated subject. And then the well-known parents of the girl intervened in the matter. They were able to achieve justice, and, having passed the second exam, Ekaterina received a "three", which opened the doors for her to a theater university.
Career in theater and cinema
The talent of the actress was noticed, unfortunately, not immediately. Only in the second year directors of the capital's theaters began to follow her. Thus, in 1990, the aspiring actress made her debut on the stage in a play called "Ondine", where she got the main role. In the same year she began to play at the Sovremennik Theater in the production of Three Sisters.
It is worth noting that the filmmakers noticed the girl earlier than their theatrical colleagues. Even before entering college at the age of 16, she made her film debut. Her first screen appearance was in the film "Portraits of Men". Even during her studies, Catherine often acted in films. From the moment of admission to higher education, Semenova managed to play in 6 film and television projects. She became famous for her work in the movie "Predators" and the television series "Goryachev and Others". In 1992 she graduated from high school, but continues to appear in characters on the theater stage, leaving the cinema for several years.
In 1999 she returned to the screens. The status of "famous actress" returned to her thanks to her role in the rating domestic television series "Two Fates". After this success, the artist's career took off again.
The filmography of the actress has more than fifty television and film works.
Personal life
The personal life of the actress is rich in events and, at the same time, complex in its drama. For some time, Semenova was in a relationship with the son of Oleg Tabakov - Anton. Catherine did not become his wife, but they had a son, Nikita. The appearance of the child did not seal their relationship, and they broke up.
Then the actor Alexei Makarov appeared in her life, but even with him, Catherine did not succeed.
The first official husband was businessman Kirill Sigal, from whom the artist gave birth to a daughter, Maria. Soon the couple were forced to divorce.
The businessman Leonid, who became her second husband, did not allow the girl to remain alone with the children. The marriage lasted 5 years, and in 2013 the couple divorced.
During all this time, the children of Catherine have already grown up and began to build their personal life, while the woman herself, today, is still in search of her love.
