After that, representatives of many countries (Germany, USA, Mexico, Canada, France, Belgium, India) expressed a desire to purchase this project. Among these countries was Russia.

It is difficult to surprise and interest the Russian audience in the topic of soul relocation, but the actors could do it. "Margosha" is different from similar films on a hackneyed topic.

This is a rather difficult task, which his school friend Anna (Elena Perova) helps him to cope with. Throughout the series, Anya supports Margot, helps her become a woman, helps out in difficult situations.
Love that conquers

Despite the warm relationship, Gosha does not stop searching for the fortuneteller, thanks to whom he turned into a woman. In the end, he manages to find not only the fortuneteller, but also his body, in which the girl now lives. It will not be so easy to get yourself back.

The magnificent and difficult work was done by the actors. "Margosha" became a really popular series, and the artists received popular recognition and the love of fans. The story of a man turning into a woman interested both ordinary housewives and office managers, students and retirees. This is a dramatic story that deserves special attention.
The cast of the picture
What can be said about the series "Margosha": actors and roles are simply created for each other. Some leading actors did not even go through the casting, they were confirmed literally in 5 minutes, this applies to Eduard Trukhmenev, who simply conquered the entire crew with his unique charm, Anna Mikhaylyuk, who played Natasha, the negative heroine.
A lot of jokes and humor in the TV series Margosha. The actors and roles are matched perfectly, and sometimes it seems that there was something mystical in the process. After all, the script was written under Valery Nikolaev, which was supposed to play a major role in the film. But after several days of filming, the actor refused to further participate in the project without explanation. The whole crew had to urgently look for a new artist for the role of Gosha, this was not the easiest task. More than 50 castings took place, but there was still no suitable person. But then Eduard Trukhmenev appeared , who was brought by the producer of the series Konstantin Kichmenev. There were no tests with Edward, everyone immediately realized that they had found a new actor.
Maria Berseneva got into the series, having come to the casting with her friend. Almost from the first words it was approved. The producers were struck by her strong, masculine character, which fit perfectly into the concept of the series. According to the script, Margot is a blonde, but Maria flatly refused to repaint, and remained a brunette.
In the series "Margosha" actress Maria Berseneva played a major role, but this is not her first movie work. She played secondary roles in such famous TV shows as: “Peter the Magnificent”, “Mother Daughters”, “Bachelors”, “Medical Secret”, “Champion”, “And Still I Love ...” and many others. Basically, these are the roles of negative heroines, lovemates and jealous friends.
The road to success of Maria Berseneva
Photos of the actors of the series "Margosha" for a long time decorated the front pages of popular
magazines and newspapers. Most often it was a photo of the main character - Margot. Few people know that the actress Maria Berseneva after graduating from GITIS for some time worked as a model, deciding not to rush to any role, but to wait for her long-awaited, which will bring fame and success. And she did it. Despite the fact that a busy schedule of work caused a divorce, Maria considers her role in the series successful.
The actress does not drink alcohol, so during the filming she was given tea instead of cognac, and beer was replaced with kvass.
Another interesting fact: Maria does not have a driver’s license, and she is very poor at driving. And since there are many scenes in the series where Margo drives a car, the producers decided to replace the actress with an understudy, in order to avoid damage to an expensive car. If necessary, some scenes were shot using a moving platform.
Anatoly Kot
Anatoly Kot is a well-known and sought-after actor. He played the role of Anton Zimovsky in the series. The actor managed to work in theaters of Minsk, Germany, where he successfully performed the main roles. Since 2005, Anatoly Kot has been playing in the troupe of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan in the Moscow theater.
A little-known fact, but it was Anatoly Kot who was the first husband of Julia Vysotskaya. This happened in Minsk, where a young student needed a Belarusian residence permit for further studies. Anatoly himself offered to sign, not claiming anything. Many years later, Julia met Andrei Konchalovsky, then Kot and Vysotskaya officially filed for divorce, and the first and second husbands of the famous TV presenter became good friends.
Magazine owner
The owner of the magazine, chief Igor Rebrov, was played by Vladimir Sterzhakov. This is a famous actor with a great filmography and many roles loved by millions of viewers. For a long time Sterzhakov played at the Moscow Art Theater, but in 2001 he quit, not finding a common language with the new leader Oleg Tabakov.
According to the plot, the hero of Sterzhakova experiences a betrayal of his wife, learns that he was raising a non-native daughter, falls in love with Gosha's girlfriend, Anya (she is played by Lena Perova).
Lena Perova, who played the radio host, is pleased with her acting debut. She did not have to get used to the role, as she played herself, and shooting in the series did not interfere with her main work and caused only positive emotions.
Actors of the series "Margosha" (both positive and negative) fell in love with all viewers. This story did not leave anyone indifferent. The performers of the main and secondary roles themselves got so accustomed to the role, passed it through themselves, that on the screen the audience saw not a game, but real life and real emotions.
In 2010, the creators of the series “Lalola” recognized the Russian version of the picture as the most successful. Despite the fact that Margosha is very different from the original, as many changes were made in the process of adaptation. The original version is more cruel and cynical. A large number of fresh jokes, sharp humor and irony made the series not only dramatic and vital, but also brought a share of the comedy, which is necessary for popularity in Russia. The actors of the movie "Margosha" did an incredible job, recreating real life on the TV screen.
