Daria Mikhailova learned all the delights of filming as a child. The debut of the young actress was the role in the film "Portrait of a Blue Man" by Gennady Shumsky. Dasha, who was then in her eleventh year, very touchingly played the girl Tanya, who had come with her parents to stay in the village. A very bright, romantic and emotional film about first love seemed to determine the future path of Daria Mikhailova in art.
Chick
Dasha was born on February 22, 1965 in a Moscow acting family. Her parents are graduates of the Shchepkinsky Theater School. Mom is an actress of the Benefis Theater, my father was a television director, in 1977 he left for America and became a theater director there. He died in 1983.
The girl found herself at a school desk early. When the six-year-old Dasha visited her grandmother in Simferopol, her childhood imagination was captured by a pretty picture: on September 1, smart girls in white aprons and magnificent bows went to school ... Dasha persuaded her grandmother, head of the department of Simferopol University, to send her to school. After studying for ten days, the first grader came to Moscow. Parents decided not to interrupt their studies. In the classroom, Daria Mikhailova was the smallest. Classmates called the blond, skinny girl chicken.
Fate choice
After filming the “Blue Portrait”, the girl starred in eight more films. In 1979, Dasha played the girl Tanya, who became a hostage in a plane captured by bandits. The adventure film was called The Abduction of Savoy. Dasha’s partner in the tape was Alexander Mikhailov. The audience immediately christened Mikhailova the daughter of a famous actor, although there are no any kindred ties between them.
The artistry of Dasha was obvious, so she did not think for a long time about which profession to connect her future fate with. Well-known and loved cinema, Daria Mikhailova chose for admission, of course, the Institute of Cinematography - VGIK. The course was typed by the famous Sergey Bondarchuk. But at first he was not in Moscow, and other teachers watched the applicants. Round after round Dasha went brilliantly. At the last stage, when two or three people claimed the place, the master came to the exam to look at his future wards. And here Dasha was taken aback, fell into a stupor from fear and could not effectively read the program. Bondarchuk did not take her. Weeping and comforting, the girl submitted documents to the theater school. Schukin. She entered here without difficulty and finished successfully.
Novel with a movie
According to tradition, among the best graduates in 1985 were taken to the troupe of the Vakhtangov Theater. She also played in the Sovremennik Theater. But the affair with cinema, Daria Mikhailova, whose filmography is saturated with outstanding film works, has preserved both during her studies and during the theater.
Best Roles
The most prominent roles of young Daria Mikhailova were Valentina in the film of the same name by Gleb Panfilov based on the play by Alexander Vampilov “Last Summer in Chulimsk”. This play is loved and staged by theater directors. But then, in 1981, the film, where the role of a young waitress, in love with an investigator, was piercedly played by the sixteen-year-old Daria Mikhailova, turned out to be a real revelation. Another expressive role of Daria is Lida in Igor Talankin's military film Starfall, created based on the works of Victor Astafyev. And again, the actress embodied a distant from pathos heroic image imbued with subtle psychologism. Touching fragility and elusive tragedy also blows from Rai Kolotovkina, nicknamed Sterlet from Boris Savchenko’s tape “Before the War”. The young actress Daria Mikhailova played the role of an orphaned girl who came to live with her uncle in a distant village, lost in Siberia.
Daria often played unusual girls, whose love can enrich and change the lives of heroes. Such is her Dasha in the film "Seraphim Polubes and other inhabitants of the Earth." There were in the creative fate of the actress and the characteristic roles that required her an adventurous string - the bride in the film "Tricks in the old spirit", Rita in the "Island", Olga in the comedy "Good luck, gentlemen!".
Work in series
In 2001, Daria Mikhailova, whose biography is closely related to the name of Vladislav Galkin, starred with him in the series "Truckers". Here they played a couple in love. Fate pushed them in some pictures more than once.
The roles in the series, the actress appreciates the same way as in serious talented films. She admitted that she is very demanding on literary material, she immediately sees a “raw” script, the work with which threatens professional failure. Among the series in which Mikhailova starred were Fifth Angel, Two Fates, and Adjutants of Love.
What is the president’s wife thinking about?
The picture “Kiss is not for the Press”, released in 2008, was coldly received by critics and did not cause public hype. However, it was a very interesting attempt to talk about how people from higher authorities think and feel. In a duet with Andrei Panin, Mikhailova played the man’s wife, in the image of which the audience saw parallels with President Putin.
The film library of the actress is quite large - it's about fifty films. There is no doubt that more than once the excellent artist Daria Mikhailova will please us on the screen.
The personal life of the actress
In 1985, Daria became the wife of actor Maxim Sukhanov, with whom she played in the theater. Vakhtangov. The actors had a daughter Vasilisa. Having matured, the girl followed in the footsteps of her parents, became an actress and even stepped on the stage of the Vakhtangov Theater. Vasilisa is now 25 years old. The marriage of Mikhailova with Sukhanov fell apart in 1991.
In 1998, Daria acted as a director. It was a play based on the novel by F. Dostoevsky “The Brothers Karamazov”, it was called “Case No. ...”. Daria very professionally drew the most dramatic plot from the novel - love knots between Mitya Karamazov, Katerina Ivanovna, Grushenka (her actress played herself) and Mitya's father. Mikhailova for a long time was looking for an artist for the role of Mitya. Seeing Vladislav Galkin, she realized that he was not only the best Mitya, but also the only one with whom she would like to connect her fate. Passion between these people flared up instantly. In the fall of 1998, they got married. The spouses did not have common children.
Don't judge people
A lot of “oily” articles have been written about the novel by Galkin and Mikhailova, who turned out to be kindred spirits . The publications that appeared after the untimely death of the popular actor in February 2010 turned out to be all the more tragic. Then a lot of unpleasant and even frankly rude criticism fell on Daria. Mikhailov was reproached for the unwillingness to “save” her husband, who had suffered from hard drinking, in callousness to his parents, in mercenary behavior regarding inheritance. The actress stopped giving interviews. It is known that the relationship of the spouses that year escalated, in court documents for divorce were waiting in the wings. No one can fully know what was between these loving people.
Daria Mikhailova, whose filmography in the minds of contemporaries is tightly connected with the roles played in tandem with Galkin, returned to the set, having experienced great grief. One of her latest film works is Anna in the melodrama “Native Blood”.
Recently, news appeared in the press that Daria had a fan, a businessman from Germany.
Such is a spectacular woman and a talented actress Daria Mikhailova. Films with her participation will undoubtedly be included in the golden fund of domestic cinema.
