Actor career Anna Starshenbaum began at the age of 18, and during this time she often had to work for film set with the same colleagues. Thanks to this, Anna learned something from them or took note of their experience. In her profession, the actress already knows what she wants, therefore, she is picky about the roles. With a busy filming schedule, Starshenbaum also finds time for her family, because now her personal life revolves around her beloved people: her son and husband.

Anna was born in 1989 in Moscow. The surname of her ancestors was Starkinbaum, but when they settled in Israel, it began to sound like Starshenbaum. Among her relatives there is a cousin - actress Irina Starshenbaum, who is known to viewers from the films "Black Water" and "Attraction". Anna's father was a psychologist who later became a professor. Her parents met at the department psychiatric clinic where my mother was treated.

In childhood, the future actress was engaged in dancing and vocals, and then became interested in acting. Before completing her studies at school, she began to play in the youth theater of Vyacheslav Spesivtsev. In 2004, Starshenbaum entered GITIS, but dropped out two years later. Her film career began in 2005, and fame came after the main role in the film "Tell Leo". The aspiring actress quickly attracted the attention of directors, and now she has more than 30 roles in films and TV series, such as “Everything will come true!”, “Family business”, “Bones” and others.

In her personal life, Anna did not immediately find harmony and idyll, which she can boast of in this moment. She met her future husband, an actor, when she just started playing in the youth theater. But then a spark of sympathy did not run between them. Six years later, the actors met again at screen tests, and then began to meet. After six months of dating, the lovers got married: they did not play a wedding, but simply came to the registry office in ordinary clothes and signed. In 2011, the couple had a son, Ivan, who was born at home, and not in a maternity hospital, like all children. For some time, everything was fine in the family, and many considered them a harmonious and loving couple, however, in 2014, the actress admitted that she was breaking up with her husband.

Childhood and youth

In childhood, Anya began to reach for creativity. She studied in a dance and vocal circle. After watching the film “Country of the Deaf” by V. Todorovsky for the first time, the girl realized that she wanted to be an actress.

When his father left the family, Anna completely ceased to be needed by him. Mother also did not give her noteworthy. At the age of 11, she even began to think about suicide, and from 16 to 19 years old, she wanted to jump from the window of a multi-storey building.

At the age of 14, she dropped out of school and became a student of acting classes at the theater of V. Spesivtsev. Parents were against the choice of their daughter, but when they saw Anina's success, their opinion became different.

In 2004, Anna was able to go to study at GITIS. She dropped out of the institute, in 2006 she began working at the Roshchin and Kazantsev Drama Center. Starshenbaum took part in extras and received small roles, but success awaited her in the future.

professional life

In 2005, Anna was instructed to play the first episodic role in the film directed by V. Nazarov "Lie detector for sale", which was simply fascinated by the young Starshenbaum, and therefore included an episode of a crying girl in the film especially for her.

In 2008 Anna played leading role in the movie Tell Leo. The triumph was followed by a recession. Until 2013, Anna played minor roles in various films.

After participating in the film "About Love" with Oksana Fanderey, Anna became popular with directors. Subsequently, she was invited to star in the film "My boyfriend is an angel", the film "Children under 16". Last film it was very popular with the audience and received a friendly reception by the critics.

In 2013, Anna played Constance Bonacier in the film The Three Musketeers. And in 2014, several films were released with her participation: “Sex, coffee, cigarettes”, “Nanny”, “Fort Ross: In Search of Adventure”. In 2015, Anna brought a role in the film "Everything will come true!".

In 2017, she appeared in the TV series "", which tells about three psychologist friends who cannot figure out their personal lives in any way. Anna played the eccentric girl Alina. Her heroine is hard to find mutual language with a teenage son, and in general to improve their lives and careers.

Personal life

Anna was married to an actor. The actors met while studying at GITIS. Communication was initially empty, no one felt sympathy for each other.

Anna and Alexey, a few years after Starshenbaum dropped out of school, they met again. That's when the romance began. Anna wanted to quickly forget her parting with V. Yaglych, and therefore rushed into the pool with her head.

In 2009, the couple signed. The wedding took place in the forest. In 2011, the couple had a son, Vanya. They were happily married for 5 years.

In 2014, it became known that the couple was divorcing. Anna again had an affair with Vladimir Yaglych. But in 2015, the actress decided to return to her husband. In 2017, the couple decided to separate. The explanation for this is that the actors became completely different and the decision to file for divorce was mutual without quarrels and scandals.

The actress is Anna's cousin.

Hobbies and hobbies

Anna loves being outdoors. I bought a house in the capital's Izmailovo district. The choice fell on him not in vain, because silence, calmness and clean air are important for the actress.

The actress drives a car, tries not to drive in bad mood. Since there was an accident experience, when Anna, after filming the film, did not get out of character and was very upset, so much so that she did not notice the huge car in front of her.

Anya leads an active lifestyle. Prefers to wear jeans and boots without spending money on expensive clothing collections.

- The first time I saw my future husband, when I was only 14 years old. We were introduced by Leshin, a classmate and part-time best friend. Alexei immediately offered to go to a performance with his participation in the evening. I studied at theater school, I was interested in everything related to the theater, so there were no reasons for refusing. It was "Land of Love" based on the play by Alexander Ostrovsky "The Snow Maiden" on the stage of the theater "Satyricon". “What a thin and thin he is, like an angel - the same pure soul,” I thought, looking at him from the audience. But inside nothing skipped a beat, there was no anticipation or foreboding. After the performance, we left the theater and jumped on the bus to get one stop to the subway. And that is all. Our paths diverged for six years. The second time we accidentally crossed paths at screen tests, where he again, according to the already worked out scheme, invited me to his performance at the Satyricon Theater. This time, a more modern and tough play by Irish playwright Martin McDonagh, The Lonely West, was offered. And here he appeared in a new light - I saw how courageous he really is. Maybe it's because we've both grown up in the meantime. In general, we both did not pass those tests, but we began to meet.

- Did Alex give you gifts?


- Well, the car doesn't count, because it's still a family purchase. (Laughs.) But I remember that once for my birthday he gave me a bracelet, for which he personally picked up all the charms - beautiful removable pendants. It was so touching! All of them were thematic - an angel, a theatrical mask, an asterisk, my initials, a heart and a ball around which stand, holding hands, mom, dad, a boy and a girl. But what struck me the most was that the bracelet was only part of the gift. It also comes with a synthesizer. Lesha knew perfectly well how I dream of learning to play this instrument. I was just happy. True, two years have passed since that moment, and hands have not reached the synthesizer - there is absolutely no time. But I remember about him and someday I will make my dream come true.

- Your son was born not in the maternity hospital, but at home. Was it a conscious choice?

In the process of a person's birth, there are a lot of subtleties that doctors in maternity hospitals do not always take into account. For example, nature has laid down that the first birth should last about eighteen hours, and in the hospital, due to various medications, everything is reduced to three or four hours. I am sure that by accelerating the process, doctors do not give female body reorganize, work out

the right amount of hormones. And they are necessary to activate that special feeling that, in theory, a mother should experience when she sees her child. Therefore, we decided to do without a trip to the hospital, and you know, we did not regret it.

Lesha and I from the first seconds began to intuitively feel our baby. This continues to this day. The first year of life for children is very difficult - they learn to breathe, eat, sleep, walk and so on. It’s hard for them, scared, they can’t say anything. But if the mother understands the child, she just needs to stroke him, put her hand on his tummy or on his head - and he calms down. This is a special skill, and it helps with further communication. And by the way, this doesn't just apply to me. Since Lesha was with me throughout the birth and imbued with the importance of the moment, we both feel our son very well. Dad is not inferior to mom.

- How do you bring up Vanya?

Raising a child is a very difficult thing, there are many factors and aspects. And it is difficult to put everything into a single set of rules. If the relationship is alive and real, then they can be compared to a stream that flows, goes around forests, fields and pebbles. So anything can happen, but we decided for ourselves that the main thing in education is love. If she comes first, everything else will follow. No wonder they say: first build the center, and the periphery will build itself. For both of us, this is a kind of cosmos that cannot be explained by science. But there are some basic things that I try to instill in my son. My mother once clearly showed me that communication with animals and nature is important for any person, and I strive to pass this on to my son. I explain to him that animals are the same living beings as we are. As time goes by, I see that my efforts are bearing fruit. I like the way Vanya communicates with animals - street dogs, stray cats.

Do you have pets at home?

I pick up someone on the street all the time. It's been with me since childhood. We currently have three dogs and four cats. I picked up the last two puppies not so long ago on the highway, on the way to the dacha. Some bad person threw them out where there is no life and only cars rush back and forth at great speed. It’s raining outside, mud is flying in different directions, I’m racing at the speed of the stream and suddenly I notice some movement out of the corner of my eye on the side of the road. I look closely - there are two dirty lumps. I reorganized into the right lane, passed back along the side of the road, jumped out to them, and they gave me a tear. And I'm in new shoes. I even had a sign: as soon as I buy myself new shoes or jeans, I put them on for the first time, which means I’ll definitely get into some kind of mud. So, the kids are wild, they got scared of me and rushed. As a result, I had to climb after them into a long pipe. Now they live in our dacha: we built a large aviary especially for them, and they, like in a fairy tale, feel magical. I want to take one of the puppies, baby Ulya, to our apartment soon. She belongs to the rare type of dogs that love to cuddle: she stands on her hind legs and pinches you very, very hard with her front legs. This is such happiness. In general, if people loved animals more and took care of them, they would have lived in nirvana for a long time!

- Yes, in such cheerful company Vanya certainly does not have to be bored. What else is he interested in?

He is interested in everything around him, he is very inquisitive. So far, he only goes to the football section, he dreams of mastering some fighting sports, but we still can’t find a suitable one for the little ones. All serious teachers work with older children. And the rest of the circles most often just take money for pathos. We do not like this - everything should be honest. We have a lot of ideas, what to do, that's just the time to implement all this and find right places for work, absolutely not enough.

Now many young families come up with their own traditions. For seven years living together did you get something similar?

You know, I personally didn’t have any traditions - it wasn’t before that. My parents separated in the 1990s, and my mother was left alone with her little daughter, that is, with me, in her arms. Her main goal was to put me on my feet: to make money without dying from overload. Therefore, family rituals - dinners, breakfasts, weekends in the park and the like - could not even be dreamed of. Unlike the Lesha family. The husband feels calm, confident and devotion to traditions, instilled in him from childhood. I really like it in him. And now we create our own traditions. We give gifts to each other, we go to the dacha, where Lesha fries shish kebab. Until now, the three of us read good books at night, then turn off the light, cover ourselves with a blanket and fall asleep.

Do you believe in fairy tales, in miracles?


I believe in magic and wish fulfillment. And I can definitely say that all my dreams become reality. You don't have to look far for an example - let's take the story of the cartoon "Storks". Once I wrote on my page in social network: "I want to voice a cartoon." And please! In an incomprehensible way, my post reached the well-known actor, dubbing director Vsevolod Kuznetsov, he cooperates with the Karoprokat company, and I was invited to audition. Lesha, by the way, was also invited, and both of us were approved without much hassle.

- Your characters are very lively and funny. Is there any similarity between you and them?

As for my character, Buttercup, there are certainly similarities. She is bright, kind, open, but so bad! All this - I don’t know, unfortunately or fortunately - are traits of my character. Therefore, it was easy to voice it. The only thing I regret is that there was very little time for work: only one shift, eight hours. And this is for the sound of the whole cartoon! But I enjoyed immensely.

Also, I love my husband. I rarely praise him for his work, but here I cannot remain silent. Leshin's voice is a 100% hit in the voice of his character, the stork Junior. Bull's-eye! At the same time, Lesha himself did not even see the cartoon, so we will definitely go to the cinema all together when the picture is released. Although Vanya and I have already watched it. But now there are so few worthy children's films that you want to watch to the end. We usually leave half of the cartoon, but we are ready to revise this one, and more than once.

Rumors that Anna Starshenbaum and Alexei Bardukov divorced do not subside to this day. And until now, many do not understand what is happening in their personal lives. In one of the interviews, the couple commented on their separation.

The actress does not hide the fact that there really were disagreements between her and her husband. “We didn’t live together for three months. Then they reconciled. In general, marriage is not easy. BUT early marriage- even harder. Especially when there are children. Between twenty and thirty years, people change a lot. Lesha and I did not escape this. But we have been trying to compromise for five years. But Lesha, in principle, is satisfied with everything. And I want to move mountains. I have some kind of burst of energy, ”Anna admits.

Interestingly, Starshenbaum and Bardukov met many years ago. AT adolescence Anya could not see her fate, and before finding her happiness, she had to fill herself with bumps in the love field. Despite the fact that Lesha immediately liked future star cinema, she watched the life of an actor only from the side for six years.

“When we met again, Lesha was like manna from heaven for me, an ideal option. By that time, I had just run out of very complicated relationship with another person. I then played in the film "Children under 16" a girl abandoned by her beloved. Although I did not have to play anything, I did not need to immerse myself in the proposed circumstances - I experienced them in reality. Starshenbaum recalls in an interview with OK! magazine. - And then Lesha appeared. With him, I regained my strength and came to my senses.

Now everything free time Anna devotes herself to raising her four-year-old son Vanya, in whom she does not care. The actress dreams of new roles, but her personal life remains her priority. “Time is the most valuable thing I have. And now another child, ”says the star.

At the film festivals "Window to Europe", "Constellation", "Reflection" and "Kinorurik" she received four prestigious awards for embodying the image of the eccentric student Leia in the film.

Difficult childhood

The actress is a Muscovite, born on April 26, 1989. Her father was an accomplished 44-year-old psychotherapist Gennady Vladimirovich, candidate of medical sciences, a practicing psychologist, and her mother was his former patient Oksana, a foreign language student, an emotionally unstable and expressive 21-year-old person (in school years She even fought with teachers). When Anya's parents met, her father was already married and raised two sons, but, unable to resist the young beauty, he divorced.


Soon after the birth of the girl, quarrels began in the family. The young wife reacted violently to any infringement. Once, during a fight with her husband, she was in front of crying daughter sprayed her husband in the face with a can of gas.

The girl tried to hide from her grandmother's unbearable scandals, but it was impossible to be in her apartment - there was an unbearable stench. Elderly woman, a literary critic in the past, under the influence of age-related changes, she arranged at home not only a warehouse of various rubbish, which she looked for in garbage cans, but also a shelter for homeless cats and dogs.


Anya's mother was a supporter of raising a child in an atmosphere of permissiveness and independence. Therefore, with a light heart, she sent her 4-year-old daughter to kindergarten alone.

When Anna was 6 years old, her parents finally broke up - her mother fell madly in love with another. Subsequently, she had many fleeting novels. Papa found new family and rarely saw his daughter.


Life with my mother was full of extreme sports. Among Oksana's chosen ones, there was even a character with a prison past. She left a profitable job in her specialty, became interested in spiritual practices and, as a challenge to society, got a job as a janitor. Then she completely became unemployed and lived by renting a room in an apartment.

The hardships of life forced 11-year-old Anna to go to work. Mom told her daughter not to touch her food and live independently on her father's alimony, giving part of it to pay for the apartment. The girl managed to get a job as a waitress in a cafe. At the age of 14, after another attempt by her mother to hit her, the girl left home and began to live alone in the apartment of her late grandmother. At the same time, she left school, where she did not shine with success, but on the other hand she amused everyone, earning the nickname Petrosyan.


Anna's interest in the profession of an actor arose in early childhood when she watched Valery Todorovsky's "Country of the Deaf" tape with Chulpan Khamatova and Dina Korzun. Leaving school, she entered the class of the Experimental Studio Theater of Vladimir Spesivtsev, and at the same time began acting in films as an extra.

With this picture, which told about young people moving away from reality into the virtual world, for the first time in her life she got to Kinotavr.
