Actress Irina Markova, whose biography is still of interest to many viewers, was born on July 8, 1973 in the city of Minsk. A few years later, her family moved to Moscow, and Ira was forced to go to a new school at number 1003. The training took place without any special quirks and difficulties, which allowed the girl to get a secondary education calmly. In the future, Irina decided to try herself in the acting field.
Irina Markova: filmography
At the end of high school, Irina went to conquer show business: she dreamed of becoming a part of this fantastic world. The result was participation in the film "Show Boy" - a teenage drama in which various representatives of society are outlined, their views on life, morality, and behavior are vividly presented.
After 2 years, the next film was released in the career of the actress - "Nastya". This time, Irina Markova played a modest girl, reincarnated from a "gray mouse" in a charming woman. The film is permeated with lightness and sincerity, so it looks at one go. Both heroines have charisma, which allows viewers to fully submit to their charm.
"Show Boy" (1991)
The melodrama "Show Boy" was filmed in 1991. Director Viktor Volkov, who is also the screenwriter of the film, is known for participating in such films as "Dangerous Trivia", "Dancing on the Roof", "Publication". In the drama "Show Boy" Victor Volkov acted as a director, songwriter and composer. He needed an actress who could portray a young interdaughter girl, forced to work in bed of influential businessmen. Irina Markova amazed the director not only with her model appearance, but also with her ability to “keep her face”, combine impregnability and complete submission to bosses.
The plot of the picture is simple and extraordinary: the teenager Andrei Dymov, playing in the popular group "Vacations", loses her head from a new friend of Mary. Over time, they both realize how strong their feelings are, but the moment is inevitable when the truth spills over into the light. Masha is an ordinary mess, and Andrei's concert director is her "employer." Throughout the action, the actress looks like an inactive character, and this is despite the fact that she is a leading woman. According to many critics, this behavior is annoying and puzzling, but it is fully consistent with the directorial version. And what else should a female sex worker look like?
After the release of the picture, Irina Markova received several invitations to participate in the filming of films, from which she chose the light painting "Nastya".
"Nastya" (1993)
When choosing an actress for the role of reincarnated Anastasia Plotnikova, George Danelia, the director of the picture, was looking for candidates for that distinguishing feature that would characterize the heroine as restrained and at the same time impregnable. Irina Markova played a prettier Nastya - a girl who wholeheartedly sought to get a model appearance. But after the dream finally came true, the heroine realized how much internal qualities are more important than a sweet appearance.
According to the director’s idea, the “beautiful” Nastya was supposed to preserve the vulnerable modesty and children's naivety of the heroine. Since Irina at that time was distinguished precisely by her ability to maintain the desired facial expression, she managed to play a slightly closed person, embarrassed by the circumstances that had fallen on her. Until now, fans of the actress recall the images of Markova, which contain a mystery ...
