Childhood and youth
The girl’s real name is Dzutseva, and Franz is a creative pseudonym, the maiden name of the actress’s mother. Yulia was born on May 29, 1989 in Tajikistan. Zodiac sign: Gemini. When the girl was 4 years old, her parents divorced. The departure of her father greatly worried Yulia; she associated his “disappearance” with his health. I was worried whether he was alive. The girl dreamed that he would return. But this did not happen. At this time, a civil war began in the country, and Russian families dispersed overnight. And they were left, without a man's shoulder - mother, grandmother, Yulia and sister Katya (born in my mother's first marriage).

However, as a child, the girl did not particularly notice ethnic problems, although they lived hard. My mother, a music worker, lost her job and worked part-time as a cleaner, but soon lost that job too. Russian families became outcasts; Tajiks did not hide their hostility.
In an interview, Yulia recalls how she was once almost stolen straight from kindergarten. This happens to girls in Tajikistan - they are taken to the mountains and raised to become future wives. A young Tajik watched her for several days; little Yulia felt danger from him on her skin. But when he called her, she went to him as if hypnotized. According to her, this could happen because in Central Asia it is customary to obey elders. The teacher noticed all this in time, to whom the actress is grateful to this day.
Julia Franz in childhood and youth
When she was 6 years old, her mother and grandmother decided to move to Russia. For 10 years they lived in refugee status, without citizenship. We settled in the Lipetsk region, but changed places of residence a lot. Once we lived in a small house with stove heating. One day the damper was closed incorrectly, and while everyone was sleeping, smoke was coming into the room. Grandmother barely crawled to the door, mother and sister were in critical condition, but nothing happened to Yulia. She admits that she was close to death more than once, but every time everything turned out okay.
Later they moved to the city of Chaplygin, where mother and grandmother began selling packages, Yulia repeatedly stood at the market with them. As the girl says, she stood there and dreamed of becoming a ballerina.

In Chaplygin she went to a dance school, participated in all school performances, and played in KVN. When Yulia turned fourteen, she visited Moscow for the first time, where she attended a graduation performance by GITIS graduates. It was then that she realized that she wanted to connect her future with acting.
However, after school, her mother did not let her go to Moscow; she considered the idea of becoming an actress unfeasible. Therefore, Yulia entered the correspondence department of the institute at the Faculty of Economics. When I understood the profession a little, I got a job as an economist and began saving money. When the amount was sufficient, she left for the capital. That year she failed to enter a theater university, but she had no intention of going back. I got a job as a waitress in a restaurant and spent the whole year preparing for exams.

In 2010, the girl entered the Shchepkin Higher Theater School. There, Yulia attended a creative studio under the guidance of the famous actor Boris Vladimirovich Klyuev and showed remarkable artistic abilities.
It is known that Julia initially set herself the goal of becoming a film actress, not a theater actress. However, the beauty happily performed on stage in the plays “Dostoevsky VS” and “The Brothers Karamazov”, in Shakespeare’s play “Antony and Cleopatra” and other theatrical projects. Franz graduated from university in 2014 and became a certified actress.
Choice of profession
Julia Franz first experienced the desire to become an actress at the age of 14. She accidentally got into a student performance at GITIS, after which she literally fell ill with the theater. After graduating from school, the girl continued her education at the All-Russian Correspondence Institute of Finance and Economics. She combined her studies with work; Franz saved most of her earnings. She needed money in order to move to Moscow.
A few years later, Yulia became a student at the Shchepkinsky School. By this time, she had already changed several professions - from economist to administrator. Boris Klyuev took the talented girl into his workshop. Franz became a graduate of the Shchepkinsky School in 2014.
Movies
At the beginning of her creative biography, the charming brown-haired woman played only supporting roles. Yulia explained this by the fact that at the institute she rarely combined work on film sets and study, giving preference to the latter. Therefore, before the series “Univer. New Dorm,” the young actress was not familiar to a wide range of film fans.
Yulia’s debut work in front of the director’s cameras was Alexey Bobrov’s film “New Year’s Detective”. In the festive comedy about love, the girl got the cameo role of Katya. On the film set, Franz worked with famous actors: Daria Mikhailova, Sergei Makovetsky, Rimma Markova and others.

Veronica is a self-confident heroine. Despite this, according to the actress, she felt nervous on the set. All due to the fact that the cast of the series “Univer. The new hostel” represented by Ararat Keshchyan, Stanislav Yarushin and Anna Khilkevich had taken root, and Franz did not know how the already close-knit team would accept her. However, according to the girl, the shooting took place in a friendly and cozy atmosphere.
