Standard childhood
The girl was born July 26, 1986 in an intelligent family. Parents lived in Moscow. Father served in one of the units of the State Security Committee. Mother worked as a teacher at a textile institute. Masha grew up an energetic and inquisitive child. Starting from young nails, she was unobtrusively attached to a healthy lifestyle.
Each summer, the Kurkov family rested on the Black Sea coast. Little Masha quickly and easily learned to swim. In adolescence, she was seriously interested in diving. The future actress learned to read early. When she was four years old, her mother took Masha to the figure skating section. Not to say that she wanted to see her daughter among the country's leading figure skaters. Just this sport allows you to form a harmoniously developed body. The girl willingly attended classes, although she did not demonstrate noticeable success.
The next classes outside the school walls began in the drama studio, where Kurkova got at the age of eight. From the first days, the girl liked the atmosphere in the premises of the children's theater. She with great desire participated in the performances that were staged on the stage of the district Palace of Children's Creativity. She studied the basics of dance and musical literacy. In high school, when it came time to choose a profession, Maria had already decided everything for herself - she would become an actress. At the family council, no one objected to this choice.
In this context, it should be added that in the studio, together with Maria Kurkova, Alexei Chadov, famous in the future, was preparing for his acting career. Despite the five-year age difference, a relationship began between them. At first, the young man did not pay attention to the beggar, which looks at him in love with eyes. Alex entered the theater institute and began to teach sports dancing in the studio. When Kurkova entered the famous GITIS, Chadov had already completed the fourth year.

The path to the profession
Kurkova received a specialized education in the studio of the famous actor and director Alexander Porokhovshchikov. Already in her student days, she received invitations to the set. For the beginning actress, these were very important and responsible tests. Harder than some exams. In the adventure detective "Black Goddess" Masha did not have time to really consider herself how the episode ended. Then the naive melodrama "Jackpot for Cinderella" was released. Colleagues and viewers praised the image created on the screen by a novice actress.
By mid-2006, a personal role was prepared for Kurkova. One of the cult Russian directors undertook to shoot a comedy melodrama called "Heat". Maria, without the slightest difficulty, completed all the director's installations. The piquancy of the situation that developed on the set was that the former and future relations partner worked here. The film was not bad. The press and television noted the strengths and weaknesses of the picture. The performers were satisfied with the fee.
After graduation, the graduated actress continued to act in films. The performance of one of the leading roles in the crime detective "Experts" was welcomed by experts and ordinary viewers with interest. Positive feedback from critics was awarded to Kurkova’s game in the thriller Cursed Paradise. It so happened that Mary was offered to play her contemporaries, close to her in age and attitude. The large-scale work is the participation of the actress in the filming of the blockbuster "Shadow Boxing". Then there were smaller roles, after which Kurkova, as they say, fell out of the stream.
