Work in the series "Turkish March"
In 1999, Marina Mogilevskaya was offered to play the role of Irina, the wife of the protagonist of the film "Turkish March". It was the role in this picture that completely changed the life of the actress and brought her popular popularity.
Viewers, as it happens, transferred the love relationship between the characters in the film of the actress and Alexander Domogarov to the actors themselves. But, as Marina Mogilevskaya admitted, her husband from Alexander would not have worked out for her, because they were just good friends and had agreed among themselves for a long time: if they read in the press how they broke up their happy families, how they broke up or converged, share what they read and laugh together. Let them write in the newspapers what they want.
Due to the success of the series “Turkish March”, the actress became a famous and very popular actress in Russian cinema. From 2001 to 2002, Marina Mogilevskaya, whose films are loved by many, was involved in a number of series and films: “Hunting Season 2” (the role of Nadezhda Varguzova), “Family Secrets” (the role of Olga), “The Fifth Corner” (the role of Nina) , “Moscow Windows” (the role of Galina Usoltseva), “Russian Amazons” (the role of Anna Sintsova), “Life is full of fun” (the role of Tamara). At that time, Marina for the first time decided to try her hand as a screenwriter.
Collaboration with Todorovsky
As Mogilevskaya said, once she wondered what movie she would like to star in. The answer was unequivocal - it should be a lyrical comedy, a fairy tale for adults. After all, the actress is already tired of acting in action films. Marina came up with her story, provided it to Todorovsky, and he liked it.
The film “Everything You Love” (another title “When You Don't Wait at All”), which was released in 2002, is a joint product of Todorovsky and Mogilev.

According to Marina, if an actor takes his profession very seriously, it doesn’t matter if he acts in films, plays on the stage of the theater or in an enterprise. Each actor should give all the best. In addition, the time of cheap entreprise has long passed. And today, just being a star is not enough for a performance to be done for you - there is already a lot of competition. After all, viewers in the first place are not evaluating the name, but the quality. And therefore, Marina believes that the entreprise is a great opportunity to test herself on a new platform, in a new team, in a new role.
One of the best entreprise works of Mogilevskaya is the role of Lady Hamilton in the famous play “Lady and Admiral”, laureate of the State Prize named after Stanislavsky Leonid Kulagin. In an interview, Marina admitted that every actress dreams of such a role. After all, the theme of love of Lady Hamilton and Nelson is a legendary story. Now there are not many plays about real feelings and great passions. Mogilevskaya noted that she did not have to meet such human and deep stories over many years of work.
No less interesting work of Marina Mogilevskaya - Abby in the play by Valery Barinov “Love under the Elms”, it was this role that very well suited the actress.
