Dianna Korzun-frank

Dina Korzun is a Russian theater and film actress who amazed the Russian audience back in the late 90s, after playing the role of the deaf-mute girl Yaya in the drama "Country of the Deaf". For this work, the actress won several national and international film awards, including the Nika and Golden Aries awards.

The role determined the further direction of the actress. Today she is the founder of the largest Russian charity fund "Give Life".

Dina Aleksandrovna Korzun calls her childhood happy and serene. She was born in April 1971 in Smolensk. And although the girl was raised by her mother alone, life seemed wonderful to Dina. A small family lived in a spacious communal apartment, which united strangers into one friendly family. Children went to visit each other, arranged joint concerts, at which all adult residents of the communal apartment were compulsorily gathered, not allowing the performance to be missed under any pretext.

The young artists organized their concerts according to all the rules: chairs in several rows, tickets cut from postcards with the date and place, circus and variety performances in abundance, intermission and a buffet.

Dina Korzun's mother combined her work as a security engineer at a hosiery factory with constant studies: first at a technical school, then at an institute.

Dina was a gifted child. She drew beautifully, so her mother took her daughter to an art school. There, the girl mastered the technique of graphics, sculpture and painting. Dina Korzun also studied ballet and attended a modern dance studio, therefore, with a height of 170 cm, her weight does not exceed 60 kg.

After receiving secondary education, she studied at the department of artistic graphics of the local pedagogical institute for a year. But soon painting classes ceased to bring joy to the girl. Dina Korzun dropped out of college and went to Moscow. She entered the Moscow Art Theater School on the first attempt and was enrolled in the course of Alla Pokrovskaya.

The cinematic biography of Dina Korzun started in 1994, when the girl was in her penultimate year at the Moscow Art Theater. The aspiring actress made her debut in the short film She's Inside the Walls. Dina's theatrical career began simultaneously with her cinematic career. Theater-goers first saw the actress on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater in the production of Love in the Crimea.

After graduating from the theater university, Korzun was accepted into the troupe of the Moscow Art Theater named after A.P. Chekhov. The aspiring artist was incredibly lucky: she didn't have to start from scratch and go through extras. Almost immediately, the girl began to be trusted with major roles. She played Katerina in The Thunderstorm and Sonya Marmeladova in Crime and Punishment.

However, Dina Korzun quickly felt disappointed. She no longer believed that theater performers had a special mission in society. When she went on stage and saw the faces of high school students who were forced to see "The Thunderstorm", she wanted to run away.

At first, the artist tried to "give all her best" in order to send the young audience a certain spiritual impulse, to captivate with the game and convey the essence of the play. But I soon realized that nothing was happening. The tenth graders yawned and waited impatiently for the intermission to get away. They wanted to go to a bar or to a disco, and what was happening on the stage caused boredom.

In 2000, Dina Korzun left the theater. She returned to the stage later when she moved to London. In 2007, the Russian actress entered the stage of the Royal National Theater in London. In some performances, she not only plays, but is also a producer.

Dina Korzun was much more comfortable on the set. The cinema brought her recognition and a sense of satisfaction from her favorite work. In 1998, the cult film by Valery Todorovsky "Country of the Deaf" was released, which gave the artist love and appreciation of the public. The role of a girl named Yaya brought the young actress a number of prestigious awards, among which the most striking are the Nika, Tomorrow's Stars and Golden Aries awards for a successful film debut.

Dina Korzun woke up famous. At first after the release of the picture, she had to give 6 interviews a day. She said that the role of a deaf dancer turned out to be difficult, but extremely interesting. Before starting work, she was consulted by a sign language interpreter. I also had to spend a lot of time in a boarding school for deaf children. The actress wanted to understand how people who hear only silence live, feel and think.

After the "Country of the Deaf" new bright roles Dina Korzun was not offered. The actress appeared in episodes of the films "The President and His Granddaughter", "The Diary of His Wife", "The Citizen Chief".

A few years later, the actress waited for a good and "deep" project. But he turned out to be foreign. Polish-British producer and director Pavel Pavlikowski offered Korzun a role in his film "The Last Resort". Dina reincarnated as a Russian girl Tanya, who, together with her son, decides to move to a foreign fiance, but the young man never appears at the meeting at the English airport. The girl has to go to a refugee camp.

The painting received European recognition and prestigious prizes. Dina Korzun has also been showered with awards from festivals in London, Bratislava and Gijon. But this wonderful picture about the fate of an emigrant from Russia was never shown at home.

Later, a number of Russian projects appeared in the artist's filmography. This is the drama "The Road", where her partners were Gosha Kutsenko, Natalia Petrova. Together with Konstantin Khabensky, Dina starred in the melodrama "A Woman's Romance", with Yaroslav Boyko - in the film "Theory of Binge".

In the social drama "Cook" Korzun reincarnated as the heroine Lena, who meets a 6-year-old girl living alone. The child after a series of incidents becomes her adopted daughter. This was followed by work in the melodramatic series "Subscriber is temporarily unavailable" and the film adaptation of "The Brothers Karamazov".

Another major and worthy role, played by Dina Korzun, went to her in 2004. This is the American psychological drama "Forty Shades of Sadness" directed by the Hollywood director Ira Sachs. The actress played a Russian girl who lives in the American wilderness. Dina got the main role. She appeared on the screen with the famous artist Rip Thorne. The film was awarded the Grand Prix at the famous Sundance Film Festival, and Korzun was nominated for the Independent Spirit Film Festival.

The artist admitted that she dreamed of playing "a gallery of bright and powerful images." But such roles were not offered to her at home. But abroad, the career of Dianna Korzun-Frank (her full name) is developing successfully. She starred in the films Frozen Souls and Farewell.

Dina also got a cameo role in the German-Georgian film "The Mediator". Soon, the shooting of the war film "Russian Cross" followed in Russia, in which Korzun appeared as a village widow. The actress also appeared in the TV series "It All Started in Harbin". In the film "Son" about the separation of Russian women from children abroad, she played an activist of the movement "Russian Mothers of Finland".

In 2015, Dina Korzun starred in the 3rd season of the British TV series Peaky Blinders. In the same year, the artist recalled her homeland, starring in a small role in the popular TV series "Londongrad".

Dina Korzun is a well-known philanthropist. For several months she worked as a volunteer in one of the orphanages in Nepal. Upon returning to Russia, a fateful meeting between Dina Korzun and Chulpan Khamatova took place at a charity concert. The two movie and theater stars have since joined forces to help children with cancer.

Some time later, Dina Korzun and Chulpan Khamatova founded the Gift of Life foundation. This organization is engaged in helping children with hematological, oncological and other serious diseases.

Dina Korzun met her first husband, Ansar Hallulin, in her early youth, when she studied at the Smolensk School of Music. The inexperienced girl took the outbreak of feelings for true love. But when the couple lived together for some time, the understanding came to Dina that she had rushed to the aisle. At the age of 19, the future star of the "Country of the Deaf" gave birth to the first-born Timur. But the child not only did not strengthen the already fragile family ties, but accelerated the disintegration of the family. When the son was one year old, the marriage broke up.

To continue building her career, Dina Korzun went to the capital. But the young mother could not take her tiny son with her into the unknown and unsettled life. The kid stayed with his grandmother. So that Timur would not forget his mother, his grandmother hung her portrait over his bed. At first, she could meet with her son Dean no more than once every 2 months. But when she graduated from a theater university and was hired at the Moscow Art Theater, she immediately took the boy to the capital.

At this time, the personal life of Dina Korzun made another sharp turn. The actress was married for the second time. This time her colleague Alexey Zuev became her husband. And again, misunderstanding and unwillingness to give in to each other, even in small things, played a fatal role: the couple quickly broke up.

Dina Korzun met the man with whom she managed to build a real strong and happy family within the walls of her native theater. Louis Franck, a Belgian, arrived in Russia at the invitation of Oleg Tabakov to thoroughly study the Stanislavsky system. The Moscow Art Theater School was perfect for this. Louis is a talented and versatile person. He is a photographer, composer, actor and director, and the leader of the Esthetic Education music group.

The path to understanding turned out to be difficult. At first, the couple, between which a spark quickly flashed, tried for a long time to remake each other. Lapping was difficult and was accompanied by quarrels and disagreements. But one day Dinah and Louis realized that if they continue to try to "fit" each other to their standards, they will lose love. And she was already born - they were incredibly attracted to each other. They were weary of separation when they quarreled. And then the couple agreed to accept each other as they are. Everything fell into place.

Together with her husband, Dina Korzun moved to London, where Louis has an apartment and relatives live. Timur did not mind either, who met Louis Frank at the age of 4 and got used to him.

In Britain, the couple had 2 charming girls, who were named Itala and Sophia. The age difference between the sisters and the half-brother is 20 years.

In Britain, Dina Korzun found herself. She continued to act in films, go to the theater stage and remembered her youthful passion for drawing, even graduated from painting courses at the London Art Academy.

Now she knows for sure that the profession of an actress is not the most important thing in her life. She has a lot of interesting things to do besides stage. She gladly takes care of her family, brings up children, takes care of her husband, draws, works in a joint charitable foundation with Chulpan Khamatova. And most importantly, Dina Korzun feels like a happy and self-sufficient person.

Now Dina Korzun continues to give strength to the charity movement. In England, she became the founder of the Gift of Life Foundation. Often, the actress comes to Russia, where she conducts charity events. In April 2018, Dina held an evening dedicated to the poetry of Igor Severyanin at the Tretyakov Gallery. The program was named "The Diary of His Soul". Poems of the Silver Age and classical music performed by Alexander Rudin, Andrey Korobeinikov and Dmitry Berlinsky sounded at the performance.

Later, Dina Korzun took part in the International Children's Games of Winners, which for the 9th time has been organized by the Podari Zhizn Foundation for its wards. In the fall, the actress attended celebrations dedicated to the 25th anniversary of Mary Kay's operations in Russia. The cosmetology company has been financially supporting the Dina Korzun Foundation for many years, helping to buy expensive medicines for sick children.

Korzun combines business trips with vacations for children. “Londoners,” as the mother calls her daughters, enjoy spending summer days in a village in Bashkiria, where Dina's relatives live. Korzun studies the philosophy of the Hare Krishnas, maintains close relations with the preacher and writer, the head of the international movement Alexander Gennadievich Khakimov. Judging by the photos from the actress's Instagram, the guru is a frequent guest of Dina Korzun.
