For example, it is known that one of her great-grandfathers was an Armenian by nationality; as a child, the girl dreamed of playing the violin, and received her secondary education in two places - at school No. 92 in her hometown of Krasnoyarsk and at Zheleznogorsk gymnasium No. 91.
It happened the same way with higher education - first, the graduate applied to the Faculty of Theater and Choreographic Arts of the current Siberian State Institute of Arts named after Dmitry Hvorostovsky, and then entered VGIK, falling under the wing of the wise mentor Vladimir Fokin, who filmed the same “TASS is authorized to declare...”.
Anna Dankova's childhood and family
The famous actress Anna Dankova was born in the small village of Tatishchevo, Saratov region, into an ordinary family. My father was a military man, and my mother was a teacher in a secondary school. While still a child, the girl already knew what she wanted to become in the future - an outstanding actress.
Anna Dankova in childhood
As a child, Anya’s favorite pastime was small skits, which she showed to all her relatives. Many children often perform in the kitchen or on a chair, but Dankova cut out tickets, distributed them to everyone, and only then allowed them to enter the room. Thanks to her zeal and crazy enthusiasm, which adults could envy, my mother decided to send her daughter to a drama school.
Anna Dankova wanted to become an actress
After graduating from school, the girl entered the Saratov Conservatory in the theater department. As soon as she had the diploma in her hands, she, without even thinking, quickly packed her bag and went to Moscow.
Personal life
The artist, who looks somewhat reminiscent of Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock, prefers not to share details of her personal life, so it is unknown whether the beauty’s heart is now occupied and whether she is in a romantic relationship. But on social networks, pictures of beloved friends, colleagues, relatives and their pet, the bulldog Shanti, often flash.

The young woman’s individual preferences include yoga, modern dance and ballet, because of this, her slender figure (height 164 cm and weight 59 kg), demonstrated in swimsuits and tight dresses, often becomes the subject of envy of the weaker sex and admiration of the strong. In addition, the artist is fluent in English, and at a conversational level - French and Spanish.
Biography of Anna Arlanova
Anya is a native Muscovite, but from 3 to 7 years old she lived in Yakutsk, because her parents decided to move there because of high earnings. Terrible frosts are etched into children's memories. But thanks to the fact that her father began to harden her at a very early age, Anna is no longer afraid of low air temperatures. When the girl turned seventeen, her parents divorced. There were no scandals or quarrels, but after that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Anya stayed to live with her mother in Bibirevo. My father lives in Munich, but often comes to Russia, never settling down abroad.
Theater and films
Immediately after graduation, Anya was invited by the capital's Et Cetera theater under the direction of Alexander Kalyagin and entrusted with roles in the plays “Duck Hunt”, “The Secrets of Auntie Melkin”, “The Decameron. Love in the Time of Plague”, “Vanya and the Crocodile”, “Evening of Poetry - 60s...”, etc.
The girl first appeared on the set back in 2012, when she starred in the youth drama film “Tell the Truth” and the short film “Characters.”
Then, after a short “Dowry”, there was a 3-year pause in the filmography, and only in 2016 Channel One showed a television series dedicated to the triumph of strength and great love of Margarita Nazarova. The legendary tiger tamer was played by Olga Pogodina, her husband, trainer Konstantin Konstantinovsky, was played by Andrei Chernyshov, and Anna herself played a character named Gulya.

In 2017, the production of “Elsa’s Land” based on the play by Yaroslava Pulinovich was recorded on film and the premiere of Maxim Boev’s comedy “Bachelor Party” took place, where Dianova shone. A year later, she received the main female role in “Marus”, which was released on the eve of National Unity Day on “Russia-1”.
The path to popularity
Anya’s film debut took place during her student life. In 2012, she played a cameo role in the youth drama “Tell the Truth” directed by Kirill Gerasimov. After appearing on the screens, Dianova decided to immerse herself in her studies. She didn’t think about cinema for 4 long years.
Productions at the VGIK educational theater gave Dianova the opportunity to play several complex roles:
- “At the Bottom” - Vasilisa;
- “The Master and Margarita” - Margarita;
- "He, She and Woody Allen" - Tracy.
After graduating from theater school, Anya received an invitation to join the troupe of the Et Cetera theater under the direction of Alexander Kalyagin, where the young actress’s significant works included roles in the productions “Vanya and the Crocodile”, “Duck Hunt”, “The Decameron. Love in the Time of Plague”, “Boris Godunov”.

In 2020, Anna played a small role in the comedy film “Bachelor Party”. And in 2020, she managed to get into the cast of the television series Margarita Nazarova, dedicated to the triumph of great love. The drama tells the viewer about the famous Soviet actress, trainer and tiger tamer Margarita Nazarova. Although Dianova’s role was small, it provided the young actress with the opportunity to work with Olga Pogodina, the Zapashny brothers, and Andrei Chernyshev.
Anna Dianova now
In 2019, Dianova got the leading roles in all three released films: in “Silver Glint of Happiness” together with Arthur Sopelnik and Ilya Korobko, in “Dear Friend” - with Sofia Khilkova and Anton Sokolov, in “The Law of Conservation of Love” - again with Artur Sopelnik and Dmitry Blazhko.
Despite the busy filming schedule, the artist does not forget about her native theater. In January 2020, with her participation, “Boris Godunov”, “It’s So (If You Think So)”, “Elsa’s Land”, “The Comedy of Errors” and other productions were staged.
First success
Anna had the opportunity to play her first important role in 2018. She was invited to embody the image of the main character in the drama series “Marusya”. The naive provincial single mother, the alien and cruel world into which she finds herself following her loved one, the prejudiced attitude of those around her attract the attention of the audience, instantly bringing Dianova the desired fame. Despite the fact that the melodrama lasted only 4 episodes, the young actress became recognizable.
The following 2020 brought Dianova three more leading roles in the TV series “The Law of Preservation of Love”, “Silver Glint of Happiness” and “Dear Friend”.
Personal life of Anna Skidanova
The actress said that at the time when she was finishing her third year at the university in Saratov, she had an unhappy love affair. Having decided to enter the theater school, she dreamed as a child that one day she would become a famous actress. At the same time, the girl planned that in one of her interviews, when asked about her first great feeling, she would answer that there was such a person in her life, but that now she does not love him. Young Anna imagined that he would one day read this interview and understand that it was said about him.
Already filming in Hollywood, the actress had the opportunity to meet many famous actors, including while attending parties and events.
When Anna was invited to a private party by the same Harvey Weinstein during the second Cannes Film Festival in her life, she went there with her friend. There the girl met Keanu Reeves. They talked a lot. The paparazzi managed to take several photos of them nearby. Soon many articles appeared in the press claiming that they were allegedly having an affair.
Personal life and family
After a brilliant success, the actress suddenly disappears from the sight of not only the audience, but her colleagues. She leaves St. Petersburg to visit her parents in Pushkin. Anna never had a penchant for social gatherings, did not often appear in public places, preferring a good book and a quiet evening at home to a noisy society of people who were not interesting to her.
After moving to Pushkin, the girl looked for her place in the church, regularly visited churches, and sang in the choir. There was a period when Tabanina seriously thought about giving up worldly life. Great and true love changed everything. The actress's husband was the artist Dmitry Kudin. Their relationship was surprisingly harmonious and simple. Apparently the meeting was indeed predetermined in heaven.

Even the fact that Dmitry had a daughter from his first marriage did not stop the couple. The artist's two dearest women were able to understand and accept each other. Family became the meaning of life for Anna. She gave her husband three children: a son and two daughters. Dmitry was sensitive to everything that concerned his wife, and did everything possible so that she could continue her creative career.
Tabanina did not act very much during this period, but lived the rich life of a happy woman who was fulfilled in her profession. It was during these years that Anna played the main and, moreover, negative role in the film “White Night, Tender Night”, starred in the action films “The Abbot” and “The Abbot-2”, the comedy film about the life of the military “Five Brides”, in several crime films.

Unfortunately, happiness, as a rule, does not last long. One day my husband came home with sad news. The young man was diagnosed with cancer. The situation was initially hopeless. The form of the disease turned out to be very severe. Dmitry preferred to spend the time allotted to him with his family.
He passed away in 2014. Anna lost her husband, lover, friend, father of her children. It seemed that the meaning of life was also lost, or rather it was concentrated in the memories of her husband.
