Anna Ashimova played the younger sister of the protagonist, Nina Pukhova in the musical film "The Sorcerers". The only role made the young artist famous. Until now, the picture is associated with the new year, the scent of tangerines and the smell of pine needles.
Anna Rafaelovna Ashimova never dreamed of an artistic career. The girl was interested in the exact sciences. Her favorite subject was mathematics.
The path to a starring role
The biography of the future star began in 1973. She was born in Ulan-Ude, in the family of a military engineer. The only child in the family grew up active. Anya preferred to play with the boys, in no way inferior to them. With the future first-grader, the adults moved to Moscow. An inquisitive and talented schoolgirl managed to practice dancing, singing, drawing.
At the Palace of Pioneers, the assistant director Bromberg drew attention to the girl and her friends awaiting the start of classes. There was a search for a young actress for a role in a new motion picture. The company was invited to the studio. Charming Anya with a bright smile was approved for the role of Nina Pukhova.
A lively and direct performer, she diligently learned words. More than once, parents advised their daughter to quit class and forget about cinema. But Anya did not back down. As a result, the shooting became a memorable event, but the girl was not going to become an actress. Anya had an excellent relationship with all the adult artists: all the artists took care of the young actress. She played her heroine superbly, realistically portraying the required emotions.
Glory
The artist was upset by the lack of an opportunity to voice the character. At the artistic council, the girl herself sang all the songs, but the idea was rejected. Bromberg got to dub Nina for the adult and experienced actress, Svetlana Kharlap.
The popular song about three white horses was sung then by the jazz performer Larisa Dolina, who was starting her career on the stage, and Olga Rozhdestvenskaya sang the Song of the Snowflake.
The premiere took place in 1982. The young actress became famous at once. Star fever did not affect Anya. She calmly reacted to the nickname sorceress given to her by her classmates, to increased attention from other schoolchildren. But this behavior has become a decisive argument against the film future.
The main choice
The graduate entered the State Academy of Management. The student chose the Faculty of Economic Informatics. During her studies, Ashimova arranged her personal life. Her classmate Kirill Gaidash became her chosen one. Oddly enough, he did not see the film in which his future wife starred. And, accordingly, he was not among the fans of her artistic talent.
After completing her studies, Anna worked as an economist, then worked in a glossy magazine. At the same time, Gaidash decided that the family would become the main thing in her life. With the birth of her son Alexander, her mother left her job and took up the upbringing of the baby. She helped her son with lessons, accompanied him to classes in the pool, then accompanied him to the biathlon section.
Anna Rafaelovna calls her happy family life a recipe for her youth. She runs a household, loves to travel, leads pages in social networks.
