Always on top, or Why you don't have to worry about "extra" centimeters

Recently we told how ours lives. But what about those whose height is from 180 and above? Read and be surprised!

Ballet dreams (180 cm)

The biggest frustration about their height in Ravshana Kurkova(nee Matchanova) due to the fact that she could not become a ballerina.

I dreamed of pointe shoes and tutus. But in the three studios where I went to see with my mother, I heard only one thing: “With such a height, girl, nothing will work out in ballet,” Ravshana sighs.

"Dylda! Stick!" - I constantly heard such insults in my address in school years now famous 36-year-old actress. Even now, haters write caustic comments to the star under posts on social networks. The actress now, of course, does not react to rudeness.

I accept myself for who I am. When I had complexes about my appearance as a child and was worried, especially because the boys were embarrassed to be friends with me, my grandmother uttered the golden words: “It doesn’t matter how long your legs are. There are three things in a woman that men pay attention to: hair, teeth, skin, ”says Kurkova.

Creature from another planet (180 cm)

Olesya Zheleznyak from its growth has only bonuses. For example, she got into the movies thanks to her long legs and somewhat awkward appearance.

It was such a funny dylda and aunt that was needed Tigran Keosayan on the leading role in Silver Lily of the Valley. He saw me in the corridor of Mosfilm and immediately stopped looking for the heroine, - said the 42-year-old actress. - And husband ( with an actor Spartak Sumchenko Olesya has been married for 18 years and has four children; Spartak's height - 185 cm. - K. B.) first of all drew attention to my height. “You seemed to me a creature from another planet, an alien - it was impossible to take your eyes off,” he later admitted to me.

She did not suffer from her great height at school either. Vice versa. Olesya was seated at the last desk so that her head would not interfere with anyone.

Write off and mind your own business - there it is!

Beauty is not in long eyelashes (180 cm)

As a teenager, everything annoyed me: from the nose and eyebrows to the knees, - recalls the 50-year-old Maria Shukshina. - And when I began to stand first in the line at physical education, it seemed that life did not work out at all. But as I got older, I realized that size doesn't matter. Neither short nor tall will make you happier. But the beauty of a woman is not long eyelashes, thin waist and big breast but in the mind. If everything is in order with the head, then even the most ugly (by some completely stupid standards, invented, I don’t know who) will be able to present herself in such a way that not a single man will pass by without looking back.

The TV presenter is convinced that the main thing is to find YOUR man:

And it doesn't matter what your height difference will be. If you look in one direction, then all these little things will not matter.

Say no to black

Strict - 182 cm Stefanenko - 185 cm

“It makes no sense to dream of becoming a miniature brunette: it will never happen anyway” - the TV presenter lives with this motto Tasha Strict(according to the passport - Natalia Frolova). There were periods when she was complex and envious of girls with standard height: they say that young men want to take care of such people, and if you are far from a baby, then to you - as "your boyfriend."

After a while, I realized that such an attitude is much more valuable than short-term tenderness, - says 43-year-old Tasha. - There were problems with clothes before. Now they sew taking into account the maximum growth. Yes, I am a designer myself. When I became a mother at the age of 37, Strict gave birth to twin boys. - K. B.) and suddenly at some point she looked back, it became funny from her worries about her appearance. I want to appeal to all the girls who are embarrassed because of the "extra" centimeters. It's such little things! Natasha Stefanenko (co-host of Tasha on the program "Take it off immediately!". - K. B.), which is three centimeters taller than me, walks freely and in heels. He says: “It’s men who have to worry about how to reach me!” Be confident. In no case do not slouch and do not hide behind caps with large peaks. Say no! black and shapeless. And women's happiness will surely overtake you!

Kissing is nice (180 cm)

According to rumors, the participant's novel " comedy woman» Catherine Barnabas and Dmitry Khrustalev began with Katya's phrase: "Aren't you too small to whip me?" It is no wonder - Khrustalev is 14 centimeters lower than Barnabas. At the same time, many considered this couple harmonious and cute.

A small man and a tall girl are very erotic, don't you think? - smiles 32-year-old Barnabas. - Here is Dima Khrustalev - our one and only man. What do you think Mitya was doing in Comedy Woman among so many women? He is small, tenacious and funny - a real conqueror of women's hearts! In general, I noticed that short men are much more talented and successful than those whose height exceeds the mark of 190 - 195. In general, of course, it is more difficult for people with small stature, because they have been looking at the world all their lives, slightly raising their heads - your neck hurts. But we, tall, and kissing is always nice.

Lose Weight with Lemon Rice (181 cm)

"Long-legged heron" - that was the name of the singer Barbarian(real name - Ateena tutanova) classmates from Gnesinka. And at school, the future artist was dubbed the Ostankino Tower. Therefore, Varvara had a habit of walking hunched over. But in the basketball section, Alena was a great success. Finally, complexes regarding growth disappeared while working as a model in the Fashion House Vyacheslav Zaitsev.

It's profitable to be high on the stage, but in life... I can't afford to put on shoes with beautiful, elegant heels - I'll just knock down all the ceilings! - says the 43-year-old singer. - Weight must be carefully monitored. If, with such growth, to be also a pampushka ... Once a week I arrange a fasting day: kefir, buckwheat or apple. I recently tried a new diet: boiled rice sprinkled with lemon juice and grapefruit with egg white.

Maria Shukshina loves to experiment in films, transforming into various characters that are not at all like her. Playing new images and characters, Shukshina strives to be unrecognizable every time both externally and in the manner of the game.

In her creative biography television is also of great importance, where the movie star will soon host a new show on Channel One.

Famous parents. Early filming

Maria was born in 1967 in Moscow. Her father - famous actor, writer, director Vasily Makarovich Shukshin. Mother - actress Lidia Nikolaevna Fedoseeva-Shukshina. AT acting family she also grew up younger sister Olga, who first followed in the footsteps of her parents, but then changed her activities and now works in the church. Maria also has an older uterine sister, Anastasia Voronina-Francisco.

It is not surprising that at the age of one and a half years, the future movie star appeared on the screen in her father's film almanac - "Strange People". Then the 5-year-old girl and her younger sister played in the film of the father "Stoves and Benches", and two years later she worked on the set of the film "Birds over the City". At the same time, irreparable grief happened in the family: her father passed away. Since my mother was often on the set, tours and festivals, the sisters learned early what independence is. However, these difficulties only tempered the character of Shukshina, which played a big role in her future fate. The acting profession at that time did not interest her, therefore, after graduating from school, the girl entered the Maurice Thorez Institute of Foreign Languages, after which she received a diploma in translation. For some time she worked in her specialty, and then became a broker on the commodity exchange.

Career takeoff

Once, the future actress was offered to play in the melodrama American Daughter. She agreed because the shooting took place in San Francisco, where she had long wanted to visit. From that time on, Maria took up creative career in which she took great interest. Since 2004, the actress has become a sought-after and popular performer. Many of her heroines are independent women with strong character who stoically endure the blows of fate. Among the works of Shukshina, one can note her roles in such projects as “Dear Masha Berezina”, “I love you”, “Terrorist Ivanova”, “Who, if not me?”, “Own stranger” and others.

In 1999, Maria was offered to try her hand as a TV presenter. Many viewers then fell in love with the “Wait for me” program on Channel One, on which the actress, along with other presenters, helped many Russians find their relatives. However, at the end of 2014, her TV career ended, which greatly saddened the artist herself, as well as her fans. In 2017, Shukshina delighted viewers by informing them of her new job on Channel One: already in January 2018, she will become the host of a project called "Recipes for Happiness". In 2017, she also made her debut on the theater stage: the actress will play in the musical performance "Kalina Krasnaya", where her heroine was the "correspondence student" Lyuba Baikalova, whose role was once played by her star mother.

Personal life: unsuccessful marriages and a large family

As a student, Maria had a romantic relationship with classmate Artem Tregubenko, and in the fourth year, the lovers got married. In 1989, their daughter Anna was born, however, the baby could not hold the family together, and the couple decided to leave. The second husband of the actress was her longtime friend, businessman Alexei Kasatkin. In 1998, the son of Makar was born, but these relationships turned out to be fragile, and soon the family broke up.

The third choice of Shukshina was the lawyer Boris Vishnyakov. In this civil marriage, the twins Thomas and Foka were born: this joyful event took place in 2005. Despite the fact that the birth of children was a long-awaited event for the spouses, four years after that, a turning point occurred in their relationship. Maria was forced to leave her husband.

Daughter Anna was trained at VGIK, where she entered the directing department. During her studies, she met a young man named Konstantin, whom she married. Quite quickly, the newlyweds became parents: in the fall of 2014, the son Vyacheslav was born. Now Shukshina is enjoying her personal life and new role, grandmothers, choosing time in their busy work schedule to communicate with their grandson. Many viewers note her excellent external data and a slender figure (with a height of 180 cm, her weight is 65 kg), which the TV presenter manages to maintain for many years.

Maria Shukshina was born in the family of writer Vasily Shukshina and actress Lidia Fedoseyeva-Shukshina. Masha has a younger sister, Olga, and a half-sister (only by her mother), Anastasia Voronina-Francisco.

Already at the age of one and a half years, Maria starred in the short story "Brother", and at the age of five - in the film "Stoves and Benches". Despite this, the future star did not enter the theater school, she preferred the Institute of Foreign Languages. Maurice Thorez. As a fourth-year student, she married fellow student Artem Tregubenko. Married in 1989, their daughter Anna was born. After graduating from the institute, Masha worked for several years as a translator at the Russian commodity exchange.

The second husband of Maria Shushkina was Alexei Kasatkin, the groom's witness at the first wedding. Married in 1998, the son Makar was born. But this marriage did not last long. When the couple divorced, the father stole his 2-year-old son. The actress had to go to law enforcement to bring the child home.

In 1998, Maria Shukshina first tried herself as a TV presenter. She participated in the samples of different channels, received invitations from everywhere. But she chose the Channel One project “Looking for You”, which was later renamed “Wait for Me”.

In 2000, Masha Shukshina received an offer from Karen Shakhnazarov to play the female lead in the film American Daughter. This role brings her incredible popularity and popular love.

The third husband of Maria Shukshina is lawyer Boris Vishnyakov. From him, the TV presenter gave birth to the twins Fock and Foma. The marriage lasted six years. After the divorce, the children temporarily lived with their father. After going through a series of litigation, Mary managed to sue the children.

At the end of 2013, the son of Mikhail was born to the daughter of Maria Shukshina Anna. The TV presenter said in an interview that she dreamed that a girl would be the first to appear in her daughter's family. Maria has always had an excellent relationship with her daughter Anna.
