The young actress Maria Mashkov was surrounded with love and care of her loved ones from birth. Grandmother on the father's line, from which she did not see Masha, wrote her tender, love-filled letters to her newborn granddaughter every day. Their young actress stores as the most expensive relic. It was love and care that helped overcome both material difficulties and communal life. Now, when the fame came to the young actress after the role of Maria Tropinkina in the series "Do not Be Beautiful", her mother, actress Elena Shevchenko, two younger brothers, a grandmother and grandfather share with her. And when the machine works praises the father, actor and director Vladimir Mashkov, her person is happier than her.
Masha, are you more like Dad's daughter or mother's? Father. When I lived with my mother, she often said about me: "Here Mashkov went." I'm as stubborn as dad. And besides, I can commit reckless acts.
What is the most reckless act of the young actress Maria Mashkova? Entering the Shchukinsky Theater Institute. And all because I had already studied at Plekhanov's Academy, at the economic level. I came to Pike to the teacher Vladimir Petrovich Poglazov, asked him to listen to me, read something. He did not know whose daughter I was, there was not even a commission there, but I immediately took it on my course. And then I said that I was Maria Mashkova, I was leaving for the shooting in Kiev and in general I would study in Plekhanovsky. The teacher says: "You need to study in the theater ..." But I did it my own way. Three months later, all returned in tears: "Oh, fathers, commutativity, distributivity, not for me ..." At the same time I learned very well in Pleschke ... But this is not the whole story, I managed to study for a while both there and there . For several months I hid my parents from entering the theater. Mom later guessed it herself, and I did not speak for a long time to my dad-I was afraid.
Why did you need such a double life? I wanted to finish at once two institutes and say: "Now, Dad, I'm a great economic actress!" About six months I was at Pshuk from 9am to 6pm, then I went to Pleshka (I was at evening school), and again in Pike, where we rehearsed until the 12th night. At the hour I was at home, until the morning I was studying statistics. Soon I realized that I could not stand this pace. Plekhanovsky had to be left behind.
Maria Mashkova entered the theatrical incognito ... Do you have the principle - do not use your last name? I am proud to be the daughter of Vladimir Mashkov and Elena Shevchenko. But I think that I do not need to use my name. In addition, the fact that I am Mashkov's daughter is not always a plus. There was a situation when I was approved for the main role in one picture. Suddenly, the producers found out that I was Mashkov's daughter. Apparently, they had a conflict with the pope, and I was immediately removed from the role.
It is known that you are an actress in the third generation ... Yes, my grandmother in the pope, unfortunately, she was already dead, was an actress of a puppet theater. We never met with her. Grandfather, he was also an actor, I only saw once. He gave me an accordion. For me it's a memory of him. Grandfather died a year after his grandmother, day in and day out. And from my grandmother, I left her amazing letters - as soon as I was born, she wrote to me every day by letter. I still re-read them from time to time.
What does Maria Mashkova most often recall from her childhood? I remember how Dad gave me a house for Barbie.
It happened weeks after one and a half days after my birthday. And then my mother wakes me up in the morning and says: "Promise that you will go to school today." The question surprised me, because I was very responsible and came to school half an hour before the beginning of the class. Of course, I promised not to slip. My mother took me to the next room. There everything was packed with boxes. I saw ten Barbie, three Ken's, a house, beds, a kitchen, lots of some outfits ... I must say that in stores there was nothing of this, my father brought everything from abroad. I remember how I sobbed with happiness, collecting this house. Of course, I did not go to school ... I also remember how planes take off right in front of the children's windows - before school I lived in the Tolmachevo airship near Novosibirsk, my grandmother and grandfather, my mother's parents. At us in general all relatives from mum pilots. Grandpa - the first pilot, the commander of the ship. Grandmother taught history and psychology in the flying school.
It is believed that acting children very early become independent. How much is this fair in your case? One hundred percent. I remember how I, a five-year-old, was pushed into the cockpit of the pilot and I flew from Moscow to Novosibirsk. In seven years my mother took me to Moscow. Since ten years we lived in a communal apartment on the River Station, and my school was located next to the Mayakovsky Theater, and I, starting with the fifth grade, went to school myself, and when I got there I called my mom. And once I forgot. And here in the middle of the lesson in the class with a cry: "Mashkov you?" - Mom broke in, tearfully, disheveled, with a huge belly (she was in her eighth month), in a tattered coat - caught on something when she ran to school ... She I thought that something terrible had happened to me, and, abandoning all my business, I rushed to look for me. I never forgot to call her again.
What else did the young actress Maria Mashkova show independence? From the age of eight, I prepared my salads for my mother. Until now, there are still pieces of paper covered with children's handwriting: "Mom, salad in the refrigerator. Eat, do not forget. I love. Masha ". When I was ten my brother Nikita was born. After a month and a half, my mother returned to the theater, entrusting me with the care of him. It seems to me that Nikita is half my son. He called his mother "mother", me - "ma". When I look at Nikita now and think: my God, did I really have an infant in his arms at his age? My brother and I are very close. I took him several times to shoot, he is proud that he has such a sister. I always like it when he's staying with me.
How long have you been living alone? I finished school, went to a movie about a young Baba Yaga, earned money and began renting an apartment.
In the series "Do not Be Beautiful", the image of your heroine strictly corresponds to the script or you have changed the character of Masha? Of course, there have been changes. In the Colombian series, on the basis of which ours is made, my heroine is too frivolous. I'm trying to justify her actions with youth, somewhere stupid. Masha calls her friends "ladies" - that's what I came up with. I thought of this stupid laugh.
Young beautiful actresses dream of roles of heroines. But Maria Mashkova prefers the characteristic roles? I from the first course fought off romantic roles. At me in student's works characteristic roles. And I am grateful to my teacher Alexander Naumovich Nazarov for believing in me as a typical actress. But now I want to prove that I can play both. In the graduation performance "Echelon" by Mikhail Roshchin, my role is tragic. People who know me only on the show are very surprised.
