Open, sociable and positive Anna Ardova quickly captivated the audience. Today she is one of the most sought-after comedic actresses. Ardova is an actress in the third generation. But everything that she achieved in life came to her as a result of her own efforts. The actress is good at not only funny sketches. She has successfully tried on dramatic roles more than once.
From the biography of Anna Borisovna Ardova
The future actress was born on September 27, 1969 in Moscow, in the family of director Boris Ardov. Her mother was an actress. Immediately after the birth of the baby, she was diagnosed with a severe lung pathology. This was a difficult test for the family. Parents needed to keep the girl in an upright position all the time, otherwise the child would begin to choke.
Gradually the girl was getting better. But this did not go to the family: the parents parted. The father created his own family. And the new husband of Anya's mother was the famous all over the country Aramis - Igor Starygin. However, Anna's relationship with her stepfather could not improve for a long time.
The grandparents of the future actress were from the art environment. Nina Ardova studied under Stanislavsky, Viktor Ardov was a satirist writer. One of the celebrities almost always visited the house: Ilf and Petrov, Zoshchenko, Mandelstam and Akhmatova visited the Ardovs - Anna Borisovna was named after her.
In her youth, Anya was a lively and mischievous girl, she had to fight with the boys in the yard more than once. Together with the courtyard, Anna sang songs with a guitar, here she first tried smoking. The transitional age brought problems with peers and difficulties in relationships with parents. The girl's academic performance and behavior plummeted. As a result, in the 9th grade, Anna was expelled from school.
At the family council, they decided to send Anya to the Vologda region to her aunt - she was the director of a local school. In those years, Anna became interested in reading classical literature and began to think about the acting profession.
Anna had to make her way to the creative Olympus herself: her relatives immediately said that they would not help her build a career. The storm of creative heights dragged on. Ardova entered GITIS only on the fifth attempt. So she ended up in the creative workshop of Andrei Goncharov. Anna graduated from the university in 1995. The teachers immediately noted the talent of the future actress. Following the results of training, Ardova was enrolled in the troupe of the Mayakovsky Theater.

In the first place in the life of Anna Ardova, by her own admission, the family has always been. And only then did my career go. In the life of the actress there were two marriages. Anna's first husband was Daniil Spivakovsky. She met him when she was in her first year of university.
The young people played a wedding in 1992, after which they settled in a communal apartment. The financial situation was difficult. The couple had to move to Daniel's mother.

Once he appeared on the doorstep of her house and announced that from now on Anna would become his wife, and Sofia - his adopted daughter. The couple played the wedding in 1997 right in the theater.

But a year later, the couple announced the divorce, which took place several months before such a confession. Anna and Alexander, however, maintained a good relationship.
