And in 2017, she announced the scandalous details of her family life through the press throughout the country.
Biography and career of Elena Yurievna Ksenofontova
In a family of miners in the small town of Khromtau, which is located in the western part of Kazakhstan, on December 17, 1972, the future popular theater and film actress was born. Lena's creative abilities began to manifest itself as a child, when she attended many circles, studied in music and art schools. In addition, sports (athletics), reading contests and a desire to help people were among the serious hobbies of the young talent.
But still, Ksenofontova's predisposition to a medical career as a doctor gave way to her acting realization. Even against the will of her mother, who saw her daughter's future precisely as a graduate of Moscow State University or MGIMO, she resolutely declared her desire to become an actress.
In 1990, the girl was diagnosed with brain cancer, and she did not leave the hospital for four years, but she was able to defeat this dangerous ailment. In 1994, Elena entered the VGIK, where her creative career began.
Already in the second year of the theatrical university of Ksenofontov, she made her debut as Tatiana in the play "Mrs. Lion" as part of the troupe of the Moscow theater "School of the modern play". And in 1998 she was awarded the Tamara Makarova Prize for her theatrical achievements during her studies.
After graduating from VGIK, the aspiring actress continued to appear on the stage of the "School of Modern Play" until 2000, when she entered the Moscow Drama Theater under the direction of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. And since 2009, Elena Yurievna began to take part in the entreprise of various theaters.
Ksenofontova's debut in cinema took place in 1992 with her cameo role in the film "Womanizer 2". Then there was a significant break in her participation in cinematic projects, until Valery Todorovsky invited her to the set of the film "Taiga". From that moment on, her filmography began to be significantly replenished with popular films and serials, which made Elena a very famous actress.
Today, among her films, I would especially like to highlight the following: "Red Chapel", "Cadets", "Satisfaction", "Daughters-Mothers", "Yarik", "Heartbreakers", "Autumn Care in Early Spring", "Garages", "Good Hands "," Kitchen "," Three Queens ".
Personal life of the artist
The artist's family life is not very laconic. Her first marriage to Igor Lipatov took place for eleven years, starting in 1994, when Elena was in her first year at VGIK.
In 2003, the actress remarried the producer Ilya Neretin. In this marriage, the son of Timothy was born. However, in this case, the family idyll was overshadowed by a divorce, the reasons for which Elena Yuryevna does not like to spread in public.
The last relationship in the status of a civil marriage with Alexander Tsvetkov caused not only the birth of his daughter Sofia, but also a very loud scandal, accompanied by legal proceedings for assault and attempted murder. Until March 16, 2017, when the court granted Ksenofontova's appeal and fully acquitted it, the actress was under close press surveillance.
