Polina Kutepova

Polina Kutepova is a Russian theater and film actress, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation. She is one of the main faces of the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop Theater.

The artist was born on August 1, 1971 in Moscow into an intelligent family of engineers-astrophysicists Pavel and Nadezhda Kutepov. According to the zodiac sign Leo. Polina was born with her twin sister. She is 20 minutes younger than Xenia. By that time, the eldest daughter Zlata was already growing up in the family. At that time she was 2 years old. At school, Zlata became seriously interested in theater. The girl had a strong influence on the younger sisters, was an indisputable authority for them and attracted Polina and Ksenia to home performances. As a result, Zlata Kutepova linked life with television, and the twins with theater and cinema.

By their own admission, Polina and Ksenia Kutepovs were very shy children. They graduated from the philological class of the 67th humanitarian gymnasium, for seven years they studied choreography in the V.S.Loktev Song and Dance Ensemble. The dance group often took part in performances of a government scale - in the Kremlin, on the stage of the Bolshoi Theater. The girls also attended a children's theater studio, and then a film school.

Polina started acting early in films. At the age of 10, together with both sisters, the girl played in the film adaptation of Valentin Rasputin's story "Vasily and Vasilisa". In the film, she played the role of the daughter of the main characters. Famous artists Olga Ostroumova, Mikhail Kononov, Maya Bulgakova, Natalia Bondarchuk also starred in the film drama.

In the same year, a musical comedy directed by Georgy Yungvald-Khilkevich “Where will he go!” Was released, in which both Polina and Ksenia Kutepov took part. The famous Soviet artists Mikhail Boyarsky, Nina Ruslanova, Galina Belyaeva, Valentin Smirnitsky became the twins' partners.

In 1984, two more films with the participation of the Kutepovs appeared at the box office. The fairy tale "Red-haired, honest, in love" was filmed by director Leonid Nechaev, who has already established himself with the popular children's films "The Adventures of Buratino" and "About Little Red Riding Hood". The girls got the roles of chanterelles, sisters of the main character. Ekaterina Vasilieva and Albert Filozov played their parents. As actresses, Polina and Ksenia were invited to appear in the 4-episode children's crime film "You won't get bored with us." The sisters gained popularity among moviegoers, but never took their first work seriously.

In 1988, after graduating from high school, the twins applied for admission to several theater universities in Moscow at once and went through a competition to several masters. But on reflection, we chose GITIS, the course directed by Pyotr Fomenko. According to Polina, she and her sister were very lucky with the teacher. If they had not been admitted to the theater institute the first time, then they would hardly have entered there the next year. After graduating from an educational institution in 1993, the Kutepovs became actresses in the teacher's workshop. Little differing in appearance, as can be seen from numerous photos, the sisters have bright distinctive personalities.

While studying at the theater institute, Polina met her future husband - the course teacher Yevgeny Kamenkovich. The son of the director and choreographer Boris Kamenkovich and the director of operas Irina Molostova is 17 years older than his wife. But the age difference did not prevent the lovers from building a strong creative family.

After Polina graduated from the institute, a wedding took place, and in 1997 the couple became the happy parents of the girl Nadezhda. In 2012, Evgeny was appointed Artistic Director of the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop Theater. Since then, the actress's personal life has not changed. In an interview, she admits that she and her husband perfectly complement and balance each other. The woman is also glad that her daughter did not follow in her mother's footsteps, but entered the Higher School of Economics at the Faculty of International Relations.

In 1990, the sisters appeared in the play "Twelfth Night" by Fomenko's student, director Yevgeny Kamenkovich. The production played out the outward resemblance of the heroines of Ksenia and Polina. Both were included in the main composition of the theater. Polina was remembered by the audience for the performance of the main roles in performances based on the works of William Shakespeare, Nikolai Gogol, Marina Tsvetaeva, Alexander Ostrovsky, William Faulkner, Oscar Wilde, Maxim Gorky, Alexander Blok, Ivan Turgenev.

Director Yuri Moroz supported the choice of the writer. Although initially it was planned to take Ksenia Kutepova for the role of Lisitsina. The artist admits that she was afraid not to cope with the role of a nun, because she was never a church person. But in the course of work, the fear let go, self-confidence appeared. For this film, the woman received the Golden Eagle. In 2009, an audio version of Boris Akunin's novel Pelagia and the Black Monk, read by Polina Kutepova, appeared on the Internet.
