Career
As often happens, the directors did not immediately notice and turned their attention to the young actress. Since her figure and appearance from an early age were the envy of others, Maria decided to try herself in the modeling business. For several years of work, she took part in dozens of photo shoots, starred in several commercials, but realized that this was not what she dreamed of, and stayed in this job until some interesting role turned up. But almost all of her roles were secondary, insignificant and did not bode well for any future prospects - she played secretaries, girls of easy virtue, etc., her name was not even always in the subtitles. However, time passed, and in 2007 Maria was offered the role of Anna Zaitseva in the series "Mothers and Daughters", after which she was finally recognized. Then there were filming in the series "Champion" and "Provincial", but they did not bring much popularity. Real changes in her career began in 2008, when Maria came to the casting of the TV series "Margosha", where she confidently bypassed her rivals and got the main role, but for this she needed to change her hair color, since according to the script the main character was blonde. Maria did not want such changes in her appearance, and, at the risk of losing her role, flatly refused to dye her hair. After some deliberation, the directors nevertheless agreed to Masha's terms. This series brought the actress wild popularity, allowed Maria to receive the Best Actress award. Further, Berseneva was showered with new proposals, from which there is no end to this day.
