Anna Snatkina was born in Moscow on July 13, 1983 in a family of hereditary aircraft designers. In her childhood, she professionally engaged in sports aerobics and gymnastics, got the first adult category in this sport, and even played in the Olympic youth games. Parents did not prepare Anna for an artistic career; the father offered to give the child to the Institute of Physical Education, and my mother pushed Anya to become an economist. She herself claims that the desire to become an actress came to her after watching the movie "Bodyguard" with Whitney Houston. Already in the 8th grade the purposeful girl decided to become an actress, which surprised her family a lot. Then she settled down for studying the history of theater and drama, and also went to the school theater group. Visiting this circle and brought her the first starring role of Lucy in the musical "Ukhta Tutti." In a couple of years, only after going to the senior school, Anna is enrolled in preparatory courses at the Shchukin school, and a year later - at the VGIK courses.
After graduation, the documents were submitted immediately to three institutions of higher education: GITIS, the Moscow Art Theater School and VGIK. In the last two Anna was accepted, but she chose VGIK, so, in her own words, the cinematography turned out to be "closer" to her. The leader of her group was the famous Soviet actor Vitaly Solomin, who treated pupils with great love.
Only when she entered VGIK, Anna began to distribute her portfolio to various film companies and, thanks to her perseverance, already on the second year of VGIK she achieved the first serious role in the cinema: she played Elk in the series "The Moscow Saga". A year later she again received an offer to appear in the series, it was the role of Nina Stasova in the "Site".
It was then, in the third year of VGIK, the actress defeated a serious illness, the intervertebral hernia, which was the result of her active playing sports in childhood. Doctors believed that Snatkina would be riveted to a wheelchair, but the attention of relatives, strong character and love of her profession helped her to return to normal life. Two years she wore a corset even on the set, but work in the movie, as Anna says, has become a "serious stimulus to recovery."
At senior courses Snatkina began to receive several filming proposals per year. So, in 2004 she played immediately in two TV series "I will not be back" and "Fighter". At first, such a tight schedule was hardly given to the young actress, especially since she had to participate in theatrical drama productions. However, Anna made a bet on the movie, and did not lose.
After receiving the diploma, Snatkin becomes one of the most popular actresses. At that time Anna's biography is full of events. In 2005 she played in three TV series (Esenin, Airport and Doomed to Become a Star) and one feature film ("Unexpected Joy"). It was the role of Zhenya Azarova in "The Doomed to Become a Star" that brought Anna love to the audience and glory. She was recognized on the streets and asked for autographs. Once a woman who was traveling with Snatkina in an elevator turned to her .... "Zhenya Azarina". Ironically, it was for this role that the actress had to compete, there were about 200 pretenders at the casting, and Snatkina was first offered to play another heroine named Natasha. But Anna was able to convince the directors and producers that she should get the role of Zhenya.
Unlike most colleagues, Snatkina loves her work on TV shows. In them you can observe the development of the character and step by step improve the manner of the game. However, despite the extreme employment in the movies, Snatkina continues to participate in theatrical productions. So in 2009 she played Rosalind in "The Bat" (Director: Renata Sotiradi), Catherine in "8 Women and ..." (Director: S. Poselsky) and Sidoni in "The Big Zebra" (Director: P. Ursul ).
Anna continues to act in film, as in the series, and in films. Last year in a multi-part drama "On the sunny side of the street" (Dina Rubina's novel of the same name) Snatkina got the role of a mature woman with a difficult fate. Her heroine Katya is evacuated from the besieged Leningrad to Tashkent, where she becomes a market swindler, hiding her occupation from her young daughter. This role was a kind of experiment, but even as a young girl, Anna easily coped with the role of the 40-year-old heroine, in which she helped actor's talent and skillful age make-up.
The most iconic of her role, Anna considers Natalia Goncharova in the film "Pushkin. The Last Duel, directed by Natalia Bondarchuk. Initially, this feature film about the last years of the life of the great poet was conceived as a series, but soon its format was changed. The film, which tells of the most dramatic events in the life of "the sun of Russian poetry," required a complex dramatic play and the ability to get used to the era. As a result of many efforts on the part of Snatkina and her partner in the tape of Sergey Bezrukov (Pushkin), one of the most heartfelt love duets appeared on the Russian screen.
About the role of Goncharova Anna Snatkina dreamed for a long time. As a child, she rested at a tourist center in the village of Yaropolets, the former Goncharov estate, where Natalya Nikolaevna's childhood was spent. And after reading her biography and even found among themselves and beloved Pushkin some external similarity.
Now that Anna Snatkina has more than 20 serious roles in her luggage, she can demonstrate to the public and many other her abilities. So, in the television project "Dancing with the Stars - 2" she paired with Yevgeny Grigorov took first place. Anna also enjoys singing and recorded several of her CDs (saudtreki to "I will not be back" and "Tatiana's Day").
Currently, Anna Snatkina starred in the series "Russian heiress", commissioned by the channel "Russia 1". Here she got the main role, her character suddenly finds a son, whom she considered dead at birth. At the same time, the heroine receives an inheritance, which is going to be spent on urgent treatment for her son.
About his personal life Snatkin does not like to tell. It is known that she is not yet married, but she met with actor Andrei Chernyshov and his dance partner Evgeny Grigorov. In late 2009, she announced her intention to marry a man far from the movie environment, a businessman named Maxim. That's it, the biography of the actress and just a beautiful woman Anna Snatkina.
