Biography of Anna Taratorkina
The future celebrity was born on October 8, 1982 in the capital of the then Soviet Union - Moscow. Her father - Georgy Georgievich Taratorkin - people's artist of the USSR, and after Russia, and her mother - Ekaterina Markina - writer and actress. Anna has an older brother named Philip. It should be noted that in the Taratorkin family, children were especially welcome, since, for medical reasons, giving birth to Ekaterina Markina was very dangerous and could have the most negative effect on both her health and the health of the babies. However, the woman in the case of both infants deliberately took risks to feel the joy of motherhood, which she never regretted.
Childhood
The biography of Anna Taratorkina (referring to her childhood) was strikingly different from the life of other offspring of famous actors. So, neither mother nor father ever took their daughter with them to the theater. In addition, with children, the Taratorkins never talked about their work. This is due to the fact that the parents did not want Anna and Philip from an early age to discover the flip side of acting. They were afraid that in this case the children would not be able to feel the magic of the theater. So, when a five-year-old Anya accidentally heard that they were looking for a little girl for a role in the production of The Bee, she began to ask her father about the possibility of passing the tests. However, George Georgievich then answered with a categorical refusal.
First acquaintance with cinema
Despite the reluctance of parents to see their little daughter on stage, she still had a chance to play a children's role. So, at the age of nine, Anna Taratorkina appeared on large screens in the film "The Devil of Hell." In this tape, the young actress played the role of the daughter of the governor, whom competitors are beginning to threaten. Since in her school years, Anya showed good ability to learn languages, her parents saw her as a philologist rather than an actress. However, according to Taratorkina herself, she felt that if she didn’t try to enter a theater university, she would regret all her life that she had not even made an attempt. Therefore, after graduation, the girl submitted documents to the Shchepkin School. The choice fell on this educational institution due to the fact that Anna did not want to intersect with her famous dad, who at that time was a teacher at VGIK.
Theatrical career
