Of course, Maria Kozhevnikova not become a star. If you try to make a sociological survey and will ask passers-by who she was, Maria Kozhevnikova, it is unlikely that more than one person in ten will give accurate truthful information. But Mary took the first and very important step towards to acquire a truly star status - her face for the last year has been one of the most recognizable on domestic television thanks to starring in one of the most successful projects of serial channel TNT.

However, the acting career of Maria Kozhevnikova could not have taken place .  Firstly, it is strong enough athletic genes - in fact she was born 14 November 1984 in Moscow into the family of the famous Soviet hockey player, becoming the Olympic champion, Alexander Kozhevnikov .  Masha in childhood also try their hand at the sport for quite a long time doing rhythmic gymnastics .  However, already in adolescence hoop, rope and ribbon had to leave, because all gymnasts, like a ballerina must be slim in the extreme .  Masha was a kid not that chubby, but, let's say, had a healthy appetite with all the consequences .  In addition, the future actress grew self-willed child, one might even say, moody .  She has on any issue was his own opinion, with often whether it was correct or not, the important thing is that it was her opinion .  This moodiness not cross the border of decency: the girl did not refuse to help their parents, a good student, he was the soul of this class and the cheerleader .

Active life position and cheerfulness Mary determined the choice of her future profession - a girl really like to see her future was associated with something creative. As a result, after graduation Kozhevnikova entered the Russian Academy of Theatre Arts - GITIS. However, soon learning the tricks of acting science it somewhat distracted musical career prospects. Since 2002, Maria was a member of the musical group "Love Stories". I must say that the staff enjoyed a certain popularity, but to become really famous could not. The same situation exists in person Maria - she has an attractive appearance and a good voice, but it was not enough to break into the upper echelons of show business.

Therefore, since 2005, acquired after the useful life and professional experience, Kozhevnikova decided to focus on aktёrstve. During a certain period of time it was limited to occasional and very very minor roles in various television series and movies. So, from 2005 to 2008, she managed to "light up" in such "mylnoopernyh" projects as "Ruble Live», «wolf", "Who's the Boss," "Still, I love", "traffic police and so on. d. "" Two Sisters, "" Heartbreakers "and others. As for the "great movie", here the directors chose to use only the external data Mary. This happened in two films in 2007: in the historical adventure film "The Servant" Kozhevnikov appeared in the form of one of the ladies of the French royal court, and the romantic comedy "Three Men and Snowflake" played a girl from a modeling agency Model Agencies: Management beauty .

But everything changed in 2008, when Maria was cast successfully on a major role in the youth series "Univer" .  Guide TNT decided to step away from the TV series, designed for all young people and to remove the "specialized" project about the life of the Moscow students .  And then the external data together with Mary her artistic abilities to some good comedic roles fell by the way it is, it has become the ideal candidate for the role of Ally Grishko .  Alla - a typical student at the Moscow-blonde, which is on the psychological department received something just to better understand male psychology and quickly to lasso some oligarch, whose concentration in the capital, immeasurably higher than anywhere else .  Thanks really funny script (though with a touch of vulgarity, but it is a brand name TNT), uninteresting game of the young actor's composition and skilful advertising campaign series "Univer" became one of the most successful projects in the whole domestic television .

However, Maria Kozhevnikova did not get stuck in one image. Continuing to act in the "Uni" (recently started the second season), she decided to prove that he can play, not only blondes, not too brain development employing only money. Her character in the TV series "The Kremlin cadets" the continuation of the "Cadets" to CCC, completely different than Alla Grishko. Anna Prokhorova is a kind of type "Decembrist wife" with amendments to the terms of the third millennium. This is a smart girl, is highly respectable and capable for the happiness of a loved one to donate to so many.

As for the personal life of Maria Kozhevnikova, at the moment in her questionnaire in the "marital status" means the dash. Until recently, there were persistent rumors about the relationship of Mary to the well-known businessman from Chelyabinsk Ilya Mitelmanom, with the case have reportedly went to the wedding. However, in August 2009 issue of the magazine came out Playboy, in which were placed Kozhevnikova candid photoshoot and an interview in which she said that her heart is not occupied and now she "enjoys the freedom and adventure to make up for the absence of a student."
