Ekaterina Nikitina

Ekaterina Nikitina - Russian actress, star of the films "Secrets of Palace Revolutions" and "Moscow Saga". Today her name is known thanks to her participation in the rating series "Margosha", "Desantura. Nobody but us ”,“ Boulevard Ring ”.

Ekaterina Nikitina was born on July 18, 1977 in Moscow. Her family was closely connected with cinema: her father Anatoly Nikitin was a famous Soviet director, and her mother Tatyana Odemlyuk was an actress. Famous figures of Soviet cinema were constantly visiting the Nikitins house, their family was friends with the Barshchevsky couple, as well as with the Zharikov-Gvozdikova family. When little Catherine was vacationing in Yalta, her parents met the writer Vasily Aksenov.

The girl studied music and dancing. At the age of 11, Catherine first came to the set, where her father filmed the film "Peace After the War". Anatoly gave his daughter an episodic role, for which she was preparing with all seriousness, despite her young age. However, Katya began to think about the career of an actress much later, and at that time she dreamed of becoming a ballerina. But it was too late to start doing ballet, because girls of 8-9 years old were taken there.

At the age of 13, Catherine and her family visited Leningrad, where their friend was filming a film about the Soviet ballerina Alla Osipenko. The ballerina appreciated the girl's gracefulness and, unfortunately, stated that her parents could not consider her talent in time. Osipenko agreed to study with Nikitina, but her parents refused to leave the girl alone in an unfamiliar city.

In a school with in-depth study of the English language, the future actress studied well, but the exact sciences were given to her with difficulty. By the 10th grade, Nikitina decided to follow in her mother's footsteps and try herself as an actress, in which she was supported by her relatives.

Ekaterina entered the All-Russian State University of Cinematography named after S. A. Gerasimov, while still a schoolgirl, becoming a free listener to the acting course. She got there on the recommendation of her mother's friend Natalia Gvozdikova, who at that time was recruiting a course for the teacher and actor Anatoly Romashin. The girl did not have time for the exams, but the teacher agreed to listen to her. It is not surprising that Nikitina's acting skills more than suited him, and the man took her to him. In her course, Catherine was the youngest and studied extremely hard.

In 1997, the artist graduated from VGIK. Together with her classmate and friend Anya Mikhalkova, she decided to continue her education by entering the Moscow State Institute of International Relations. Since this was the second higher education, the actress had to pass only English and pass an interview. The education was not cheap, and the parents helped the girl with the payment.

The actress also took part in the theatrical performance "Woe from Wit". The girl played in the international project "Moscow-Berlin" on the same stage with Yuri Lyubimov, who played Famusov, and other foreign actors. The production was shown in Berlin. But the theater took a small place in the artist's creative biography, she preferred filming in films to work on the stage.

Ekaterina Nikitina began acting in films at an early age. At the age of 11, she played in her father's film "Peace After the War". Then in her student years she appeared in the short film "An Ordinary Tale".

The real debut of the actress in the cinema is considered to be the multi-part film "Secrets of Palace Revolutions", where the girl played the heiress to the throne, Elizaveta Petrovna. The film began to be filmed back in 1995, when Ekaterina was in her second year at the institute.

The girl and several of her classmates were selected for auditions, but in the end it was Nikitina who was approved for the role of Peter the Great's daughter. It turned out that the director Svetlana Druzhinina had long noticed a talented girl and was planning to call her for the role.

The film was shot long and hard, the budget was meager, and the actors worked literally on pure enthusiasm. The girl worked on the set with renowned artists Nikolai Karachentsov, Sergei Shakurov and Natalya Egorova, who played the role of the great Empress Catherine the First. For the sake of her role, Nikitina had to master horseback riding, but she never learned to gallop on a horse, so a stunt double was filmed in large scenes.

The first film of the series was released in 2000, after which fame and glory came to Nikitina. They began to recognize her on the streets, journalists interviewed the girl.

The actress was invited to shoot a 4-episode film "Why do you need an alibi?", Where Ekaterina played with the increasingly popular sisters, Olga and Tatiana Arntgolts. The tape was shown on television screens in 2004.

At the "Nika" award ceremony, the talented artist was noticed by the Barshchevsky couple, who were friends of her family. The director invited Nikitina to audition for the new series "Moscow Saga" based on the work of the writer Vasily Aksenov. In this picture, the actress had to reincarnate in the image of Veronica Gradova, the wife of the main character's son.

Filming took place in Russia, but some episodes were filmed in Berlin. The picture was shown on the screens in 2004. The audience highly appreciated the work of Ekaterina Nikitina in this tape.

The actress continued to appear in serials and feature films, but no role brought her such popularity as the films of 2000 and 2004. Nevertheless, in her repertoire there were detective stories "Spare Instinct", "The Big Game", the crime film "Bigwigs". In the mystical melodrama "Witchcraft Love" Nikitina was reincarnated as the main character Elsa.

Soon the girl starred in the detective story "The Ninth Division". According to the plot of the film, where Konstantin Yushkevich became Ekaterina's partner, the officers of the special police department are looking for the missing people.

In 2012, she appeared in the crime series Once Upon a Time in Rostov, where she played Kopyltsov's sister, Natasha. The film involved 150 actors, among whom were popular Russian and Ukrainian performers. The series was first shown in Ukraine on the Inter TV channel, the premiere on Russian television took place only 3 years later.

Soon, with the participation of Ekaterina Nikitina, the films "Boulevard Ring", "New Life", "Hugging the Sky" were released, in each of which she managed to show new facets of her artistic talent. The last projects of the actress were the rating series "The Law of the Stone Jungle" and "Cuba".

Ekaterina Nikitina's first love happened at the age of 14. The feelings were mutual, but the lovers had to leave, after which the girl did not see her first love for 7 years.

The actress does not disclose the name of her first husband, as well as the date of the wedding. It is known that they were introduced by a common acquaintance, Anna Mikhalkova. The guy was in business and beautifully looked after the actress.

They got married during the filming of Catherine in the series "Secrets of Palace Revolutions", immediately thought about children. In 1999, their son Nikita was born, but a year later the couple divorced. Nikitina moved to her parents' apartment, where she began to live with her son and mother.

Now nothing is known about the artist's personal life. Nikitina also does not indulge reporters with her attention. From rare interviews it is known that Catherine loves antiques and collects them. The actress prefers order and cleanliness in everything.

Interestingly, despite her star status, she is completely indifferent to jewelry and does not even pierce her ears. According to Nikitina, it is dangerous to do this because of the large number of biologically active points on the auricles. On the set, the artist makes do with clips. In everyday life, a woman prefers sportswear, especially jeans.

In recent years, the actress's filmography has rarely been replenished. In 2017, the second season of the youth series "The Law of the Stone Jungle" was released, where the artist again appeared in the form of the stepmother of the heroine Ira (Daria Rudenok). Soon, Ekaterina began work on the second season of the detective series "Cuba", which is scheduled to premiere in 2019.
