The representative of the acting dynasty Maryana Spivak is the granddaughter of the famous Zhanna Prokhorenko, known for her "Ballad of the Soldier". Her grandfather Evgeny Vasiliev was also famous for his directorial work "The Farewell of a Slav." The performer herself has already won public recognition and awards.
Maryana's mother is well known to the audience for her role as Alena in the film "You Never Dreamed of". The dad of the actress Timofey Spivak starred in "It was the fourth year of the war", "Maritza". The daughter, who appeared in a creative family in March 1985, simply had to become an actress even before she was born.
Finding a dream career
The future performer herself did not really like her intended career. The girl wanted to be a journalist, a veterinarian and even an astronaut, but not an artist. Since childhood, the baby has heard conversations of adults about the discussion of acting. She didn't really like this situation.
Maryana began to study English at the Diplomatic Academy courses. The girl even received an honors degree. She managed to master Latin and French. At the same time, the artist showed herself superbly in artistic school amateur performances and studied well.
In the end, her godmother Marina Levtova asked why the goddaughter was so contrary to her own giftedness. Following the example of her friend Daria Moroz, Maryana decided and applied to several theatrical universities in the capital. She chose the Moscow Art Theater School, where Dasha had already studied.
The graduate got into the workshop of Zolotovitsky and Zemtsov. The girl made her debut in their play Hamlet as Gertrude, The Nameless Star as Mona. The young actress had a chance to hone her skills on "Three Sisters" and "Do not part with your loved ones."
The beginning of the path to the heights
After completing her specialized education, Maryana was admitted to the Satyrikon group in 2006. She enthusiastically started to work in the famous team. Spivak starred in many productions. Among them was "King Lear", where the Girl played Cordelia.
She was Anna Petrovna in "Profitable Place", Masha in "The Seagull". In 2012, she even managed to visit Desdemona. For her successes, Spivak was awarded the title of laureate of the Vsevolod Meyerhold Prize. Even earlier than the theatrical, the film career of Maryana Timofeevna started. Even before she was born, the girl had already played in the movies.
Her mother starred in "Farewell to the Slav!" during pregnancy. Spivak got on the screen before she was five years old. In the tape of the grandfather "Until the thunder breaks out", together with her mother, Maryana starred in the episode.
In the village of Kalinovka, a couple of hours drive from the capital, every person is worth their weight in gold. People are leaving their homeland. And then the real drama begins. The principal chairman decided to deduct a considerable sum from the machine operator Voronin for a broken combine.
Lekha also did not remain silent and said that then he would leave the village. Everything is in Voronin's favor. And then the villagers have a question, what can save Kalinovka.
Even before studying at the theater, the girl got the main role. She became Vasilisa in the fairy tale staged by her father "Woe-misfortune". Together with her grandmother and mother, the actress played in the melodramatic series Gemini.
The multi-part project tells about the confrontation between the real experienced, albeit very young, criminal Fatima and the investigator Erozhin. He undertakes to stop her, not knowing that the case is directly related to his personal life and fate.
Iconic works and family
In "Son of the Father of Nations" about the fate of Vasily Stalin, Maryana appeared in the image of Kapitolina, played in "Fedorov", "Clever Man". The performer's serial work experience is also impressive. She participated in the projects "Capercaillie", "Bullet is a fool", "Companions".
In the latter, shown in 2016, Spivak played one of the main characters. Cheating is not easy to forgive. It is especially difficult to do this if a loved one has cheated with his best friend.
The main character could not find the reasons for this turn. And the guy died under very strange circumstances, so there is no one to ask. Larissa, who is experiencing loss, gets the same unfortunate homeless woman as her partner. The girls are trying to improve relations, but the revealed circumstances of Yegor's death lead to a deplorable ending.
The first full-length film in the biography of Maryana was Zvyagintsev's Dislike. The picture tells about a difficult divorce and an unwanted child. This is not uncommon in the modern world.
For this reason, the performer was afraid to attract the negative that she had played to the family. But everything worked out, and in the present time the family is thinking about the second baby. The difficult film caused a lot of resonance. The film was awarded the prize of the Cannes Film Festival, the Grand Prix of London and Munich, "Cesar" as the best foreign film.
Spivak's husband, Anton Kuznetsov, became her second chosen one. Previously, Maryana was the wife of actor Kirill Petrov. Family life went wrong from the very beginning. He worked with the girl. In "Satyricon" Anton became her reliable support.
The novel began while working on The Seagull. The performer was Masha, Anton - Medvedenko. After a difficult divorce, the actress was in no hurry to believe in real feelings. The romance led to a strong relationship and an almost perfect family.
In 2015, the couple added a child. The family had a son, Grisha. He played in the TV series "Partners" the son of the operative Larisa Voitovich. His dad and grandmother also took part in the filming.
After the birth of the baby, Maryana quickly went to work. Anton turned out to be a great father. The family is considering the birth of a second baby.
