Such a fighting spirit, stubbornness and adherence to principles frighten the directors, and Apeksimova is tired of cliches, she wants to break stereotypes and not play only "stone princesses". Even at home, the actress, by her own admission, has a lot of empty white space that does not limit the flight of fantasy and contributes to creativity.

Irina Apeksimova was born on November 13, 1966 in Volgograd in a family of musicians. Father Viktor Nikolaevich taught piano at the music school and at the conservatory. Mother Svetlana Yakovlevna worked as a choirmaster in the theater of musical comedy, and also taught at the conductor-choral department of the conservatory. The elder brother Valery under the surname Svet became a well-known jazz composer and pianist in the USA. Irina is the second cousin of the famous singer Larisa Dolina.

When Ira was 8 years old, her parents decided to leave. The girl and her mother moved to Odessa, where their relatives lived. There, Apeksimova first attended a comprehensive school, and at the age of 15 she entered a specialized class with a theatrical bias, where her teacher was the honored teacher Olga Kashneva.

In an interview with the media, the actress said that when it was time to get a passport, a law was in force in Odessa, according to which the nationality was indicated on the maternal side, as in Israel. The parents were worried, fearing anti-Semitism, because my mother is Jewish. The father settled the issue by giving the passport officer a box of chocolates, and in the documents Irina is Russian.

Having received a certificate of maturity in 1983, Apeksimova leaves for Moscow to become a student at the Moscow Art Theater School. But because of the pronounced southern accent, the girl was not accepted, so Ira returns home and gets a job in the corps de ballet of the Odessa Academic Theater of Musical Comedy. The next year, she makes a second attempt to enter the capital's theater university, but history repeats itself, and for the same reason.

Then the failed student leaves for her father in Volgograd, works in the local theater of musical comedy, gets rid of the Odessa dialect and for the third time storms the Moscow Art Theater School. Irina is enrolled in the workshop of Oleg Tabakov. Upon graduation, Apeksimova did not consider that her education was over. She traveled abroad several times to study specialized courses, including such famous acting schools as New York's Julliard School and London's Barbican Center.

The first place of work for the actress for 10 years was the Chekhov Moscow Art Theater. Irina played a large number of striking roles on this stage, but in 2000 she quit and created her own theater company "Bal-Ast", which she later renamed, calling her own name. This company was engaged in entreprise, in which Irina Apeksimova played the main roles.

The actress herself considers the staging of Roman Viktyuk "Our Decameron XXI" based on the play by Edward Radzinsky, where she plays a calculating lady who uses men for her own purposes, a great success. The performance, transforming from tragedy to farce, was a success with the audience.

In the theater, Apeksimova achieved recognition not only as an actress, but also as a theatrical figure. From 2012 to 2015, she headed the Roman Viktyuk Theater and made a lot of efforts to maintain its popularity. Since March 2015, she took up the position of director of the Taganka Theater.

In addition, Irina Apeksimova tried herself on television.

After 3 years, the actress returned to the program to sing along with Larisa Dolina in the New Year's edition.

In 2011, the actress got the idea to combine her singing and artistic talents. Together with a musical group led by multi-instrumentalist Timur Vedernikov, Irina created a solo program "And to me Odessa is a girl!", Where she performed songs that were extremely popular in this seaside city.

In 2015, as an invited guest, Apeksimova performed in the image of Audrey Hepburn in the show of transformations "Just the same". At the rehearsal of the number in the "Three Chords" competition, the artist broke her leg, but did not refuse further performances. In the show Irina performed the yard songs "Murka" and "Bricks", hits from the repertoire of Peter Leshchenko, Leonid Utesov and "Time Machine". In the first issues, Maxim Averin, who took on the role of entertainer, had to carry a woman in his arms.

At one time, there were reports in the media that Apeksimova was sick with cancer, but this information turned out to be false. The actress is still in shape, deals with organizational theatrical issues, and also plays on stage.

In the open air in the Hermitage Garden, the best performances are presented by Russian and foreign troupes and musical groups. In 2018, the Taganka Theater showed the musical Sweeney Todd, the Barber Maniac of Fleet Street, which was awarded three Golden Masks.

For Maxim Didenko, the actress played the Queen of Hearts in the avant-garde musical Run, Alice, Run, which, according to the reviewers, “blows the roof off”, which received the Golden Mask - 2019 for its costumes. The dystopian performance of Konstantin Bogomolov "Telluria" with Irina and Alexander Zbruev in the title role is now called a vivid example of the fact that Apeksimova does not try to revive the past, but builds a kind of curatorial platform, not closing herself in the author's theater of Yuri Lyubimov.

Irina began acting in films when she was a 2nd year student at a theater university. The debut of the actress fell on the role of the girl Ksyusha, the daughter of the main characters of the psychological thriller "Tower" by Viktor Tregubovich.

Then the actress had many interesting roles - from the tap dancer to the wife of a famous writer. Irina also took part in the filming of the melodrama "Little Things in Life", which is considered the first Russian television series, and the popular film of the mid-90s by Denis Evstigneev "Limit" with Christina Orbakaite in the title role.

Film critics noted the high-quality work of the actress in the dramatic adaptation of Turgenev's story "Mu-Mu", where Irina played the Frenchwoman Justine, as well as in the joint Russian-French short film "October", for shooting in which Apeksimova won a prize at the Paris Film Festival in the nomination "Best Female Performer roles ".

All-Russian popularity and recognition came to Irina in 1999, when the crime series "Birthday of Bourgeois" was released on TV screens. The actress played the beloved of the main character Amina Renatovna, perfectly recreating the image of a cold, successful and strong businesswoman, a kind of vamp woman.

After the tremendous success, Apeksimova was assigned the role of a calculating lady, with whom she would subsequently endlessly fight to show the viewer that she was capable of much more. Irina herself, according to her, is sick of this image. She is more interested in acting in such films as the psychological drama "The Cage", which she considers one of her best works in her creative biography.

Apeksimova played a former orphanage, which built her own cozy little world. When her husband and son die in an accident, she goes through all the circles of hell in a prison and a psychiatric hospital, only to take revenge on the culprit of the accident. And when the moment comes, the heroine abandons her plans. The same metamorphosis occurs with the character of Irina in the drama The Executioner: the journalist takes revenge on the rapists and hires a killer. Subsequently, he realizes the horror of the situation, but he is no longer able to stop the killings.

In the series "The General's Granddaughter", the actress played the heiress of the hero Alexander Porokhovshchikov. The police major in her performance from series to series has to prove that she is not hiding behind the name of her grandfather, but is a self-sufficient person. A high-ranking relative acts not only as a consultant in the investigation of crimes, but also as an adviser in matters of the heart.

In 2005, Apeksimova's filmography was replenished with work in the series "Yesenin" with Sergei Bezrukov, where she tried on the image of the poet's friend Anna Berzin. In the crime tape "The Bodyguard" with the help of Dmitry Maryanov, Irina caught the killer with live bait, in the melodrama "Victory Wind, Clear Day" she appeared in a small role as the prima of a theater troupe, in "Happiness by Prescription" she became a writer. In the TV series "Forensic examiners" and "Kostoprav" Apeksimova changed her officer's shoulder straps to a white doctor's coat.

In 2016, a mini-series "Drunken Firm", directed by Grigory Konstantinopolsky, was released, which brought together the color of Russian cinema - Mikhail Efremov and Elizaveta Boyarskaya, Anna Mikhalkova and Marat Basharov, Victoria Isakova and Evgeny Tsyganov. Irina Apeksimova played the role of the mother of the main character Ilya (Ivan Makarevich).

Apeksimova in 1988 married a classmate Valery Nikolaev. In 1994, the young had a daughter, Daria. Upon graduation, Irina and Valery left for America together, worked a lot in New York theaters, but returned to Moscow for financial reasons. The actress got a job in Russia, and her husband was categorically determined to conquer Hollywood, so he left for the USA again.

The spouses saw each other less and less, the relationship went wrong, and even joint shooting in the television series "Birthday of the Bourgeois" could not restore family ties. In 2000, the artists officially divorced, after which the daughter took her grandmother's maiden name - Avratinskaya. The girl followed in the footsteps of her parents and in 2015 she completed her studies with Dmitry Brusnikin at the Moscow Art Theater School.

After the divorce, Irina Apeksimova met businessman Alexei Kim, who became her second husband. But the life together did not last long - Irina could not stand the endless scenes of jealousy that the man arranged. There were no children in this marriage. In the future, the artist did not advertise her personal life, but she was more than once noticed in the company of motorcycle racer Oleg Kotelnikov, who is several years younger than Apeksimova.

Irina has her own Facebook page, which she actively uses, for example, in 2013, she was the first to report on the sudden death of her colleague Olga Prokhvatylo. The Instagram account is dedicated to Apeksimova's activities as an actress and producer, there are no expected photos in a swimsuit. Only once did the paparazzi manage to catch the owner of a slender figure (weight 52 kg, height 171 cm) on the Black Sea beach, resting from watching the Kinotavr competition films.

The main secret of the actress's attractiveness is fractional nutrition and positive emotions, and Irina is ready to change a perky boyish haircut or turn to plastic surgeons only in a hopeless situation. At the same time, she does not mind drinking a glass of wine and cannot quit smoking in any way.

In 2019, Channel Five hosted the premiere of the second season of the action movie "Fierce" with Vladimir Epifantsev in the title role. In the center of the plot is a group of employees of the murder investigation department.
