Open, sociable and positive Anna Ardova quickly captivated the audience. Today she is one of the most sought-after comedic actresses. Ardova is a third-generation actress. But all that she achieved in life came to her as a result of her own efforts. The actress is good at not only funny sketches. She has repeatedly tried on dramatic roles.
From the biography of Anna Borisovna Ardova
The future actress was born on September 27, 1969 in Moscow, in the family of director Boris Ardov. Her mother was an actress. Immediately after the birth of the baby, she revealed a severe lung pathology. For the family, this was a difficult test. Parents had to watch all the time so that the girl was in an upright position, otherwise the child would begin to suffocate.
Gradually, the girl was recovering. But the family did not benefit from this: the parents broke up. The father created his own family. And the famous husband of Aramis, Igor Starygin, became the new husband of Anina’s mother. However, relations with Anna's stepfather for a long time could not improve.
The grandparents of the future actress were from the medium of art. Nina Ardova studied with Stanislavsky, Victor Ardov was a satirical writer. One of the celebrities was almost always in the house: Ilf and Petrov, Zoshchenko, Mandelstam and Akhmatova visited the Ardovs - they named Anna Borisovna in her honor.
In her youth, Anya was a mobile and mischievous girl; she had to fight with boys in the yard more than once. Together with the yard punks, Anna sang songs to the guitar, here she first tried to smoke. The transitional age brought problems with peers and difficulties in relationships with parents. Girl's performance and behavior plummeted. As a result, in the 9th grade, Anna was expelled from school.
At the family council, they decided to send Anya to the Vologda Oblast to her aunt - she was the principal of the local school. In those years, Anna became interested in reading classical literature and began to think about the acting profession.
Anna had to make her way to the creative Olympus herself: her relatives immediately said that they would not help her build a career. The assault on creative heights dragged on. Ardova entered GITIS only on the fifth attempt. So she was in the creative workshop of Andrei Goncharov. Anna graduated from the university in 1995. Teachers immediately noted the talent of the future actress. According to the results of training, Ardova was enrolled in the troupe of the Mayakovsky Theater.
Creative career of Anna Ardova
Anna began playing on stage at the age of 14: she made her debut in school comedy. The first significant film role Ardova got in 1997. She starred in the short film "The Longing Chick."
The rise in the career of the actress was outlined in 2002, when the play “Plague on both your houses” was released on the screens of the country. Now Anna did not need to constantly participate in castings: she was literally bombarded with offers. In the next two years, the actress starred in several major projects. Here are just the most famous of them:
- "Children of the Arbat";

- "Three chords."
In 2005, Ardova took part in the New Year musical “Three Musketeers”. The following year, Anna was in the center of the bright comedy series "Women's League". This project with the participation of four actresses lasted on screens until 2011.
In parallel, the actress starred in several films at once:
- "Soldiers";

An important stage in the work of Ardova was the participation in the sketch show "One for All." A similar format was already familiar to Anna. Viewers liked the stories performed by Ardova: they were bribed by the plausibility of situations and life's humor. All the main roles in the series were played by Anna herself. She reincarnated as an old woman, then the head of the family, then a lonely woman. Minor heroines in the show were played by Tatyana Orlova and Evelina Bledans. Work in the project brought Ardova in 2010 the TEFI award.
A year later, Anna took part in the filming of the painting “Vysotsky. Thank you for being alive". The shooting schedule was tight, but this did not stop Ardova from playing in parallel on the stage of the Mayakovsky theater in the capital.
