She began acting in films since 1974, while still a schoolgirl (she studied at school No. 402 in the city of Kolpino, Leningrad Region). In 1981 she graduated from the Shchukin Theater School (University). The audience remembered primarily for the film-tale "Nemukhinskie musicians" (1981) in the role of a young music teacher, the comedy "For the Beautiful Ladies!" (1989) and the film-parable of Karen Shakhnazarov "City Zero", where she starred as a completely naked secretary. Emigrated to the USA. Lives in Los Angeles. In 2008, she starred in the Russian-American TV series "Spy Games".
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
