Biography and work of Anna Banshchikova
On January 24, 1975, the future actress was born in the city on the Neva. Anna's intelligent family is directly related to the world of art and culture, because her grandmother is an Honored Actress of the RSFSR. It was the grandmother who began to develop the phenomenal memory of her granddaughter, trying with all her might to make her follow the theatrical path.
After receiving a certificate of secondary education, Anna entered the Leningrad Theater Institute, where the necessary professional qualities were laid in the workshop of Dmitry Astrakhan and under the supervision of a respected relative. While still a student at LGTIMiK, Banshchikova takes the stage, playing in the performances "Nights in Venice", "Voshebnik of the Emerald City" and "Alchemists".
After graduating from the university and until now, Anna is a member of the troupe of the Kommisarzhevskaya Academic Drama Theater. In addition, she successfully collaborates with the Akimov Comedy Theater, the Andrei Mironov Russian Entreprise and the Liteiny Theater.

Personal life of the actress
Two marriages behind the shoulders of Anna Banshchikova's family life create a complete picture of this aspect of her life. The first family union with the leader of the musical group "Secret" - Maxim Leonidov - was very vivid and memorable. And the lines from the hit "Vision", which the whole country sang at one time, "I looked around to see if she looked back …" were dedicated specifically to Anna. The family idyll lasted for six years, but ended in a sharp breakup due to her husband's betrayal.
Now the actress is married to lawyer Vsevolod Shakhanov. In this marriage, the couple had two sons: Mikhail (2007) and Alexander (2009). It is characteristic that Anna often takes her children to shoot, believing that family life has priority over creative.
