Career

But almost all of her roles were minor, insignificant and did not portend any prospects in the future - she played the secretary, girls of easy virtue, etc., her name was not always in subtitles. However, time passed, and in 2007 Maria was offered the role of Anna Zaitseva in the TV series "Mother Daughters", after which she finally began to be recognized. Then there were shooting in the series “Champion” and “Provincial”, but they did not bring much popularity. The real changes in her career began in 2008, when Maria came to the casting of the series “Margosha”, where she confidently beat her rivals and got the main role, but for this she needed to change her hair color, as the main character was a blonde in the script.
