Childhood and youth
Galina Eduardovna Danilova was born in Yoshkar-Ola on May 2, 1968. The family circumstances of the parents were difficult - the father and mother were not married, since Galina’s father already had a family. As a result, all the burdens of raising a child fell on the girl’s mother.

Soon after Gali's birth, her mother moved to Kazan, to live with her parents, and got a job as an accountant, although she initially had an acting education. But the daughter was sick, and the woman could not cope alone.
Danilova inherited her passion for acting not only from her mother - her grandfather’s brother was also an actor. However, little Galya did not attend the theater studio, although this is often written about on the Internet. In an interview, the actress admitted that there was no time for this - the girl studied at a music school and devoted a lot of time to sports. So acting remained at the amateur school level.

Despite this, the girl’s intentions were the most serious, and after graduating from eight years old, she easily entered the Kazan theater school. Later, Gali had the idea to continue her studies in Moscow, and after 2 courses, the girl tried to enter the capital’s theater universities.
She passed creative competitions without problems, passing both GITIS and the Moscow Art Theater School, but they could not accept her - they did not have the right without having a complete secondary education. So Galina returned to Kazan and completed her studies there, after which she got a job in the troupe of the Ryazan Drama Theater.
Theater
She managed to work in Ryazan for 1 year, after which the woman went on maternity leave, and then decided to storm the capital’s theaters again. Fortune smiled at Satyricon, and in 1989 Galina joined the theater troupe. She served there for 16 years, during which time she played in such plays as Cyrano de Bergerac, The Threepenny Opera, and The Thief of Baghdad.

Then Galina went on maternity leave, and upon her return it turned out that the performances in which she was involved were removed from the repertoire. Konstantin Raikin, who once hired her, decided to employ his graduates from the Moscow Art Theater School, and in this situation there was no place for Danilova in the troupe.
As a result, the contract with the actress was not renewed, and Galina had to leave. Moreover, Raikin, according to her, even hinted to her that it was not too late to change her profession. She was not going to do this and got a job at the Theater at the Nikitsky Gate, for which she is still grateful to Mark Rozovsky - Danilova’s financial situation after losing her job was difficult.
Theater and cinema in her life
Galina decided to try her hand at the capital of Danilov once again only in 1989. She got a job at the Satyricon Theater and joined the troupe of Konstantin Raikin. She appeared on this stage for sixteen years in the performances “Jacques and His Master”, “The Thief of Baghdad”, “The Threepenny Opera”...
In 2005, when Galina returned from her second maternity leave, her contract was not renewed: the theater’s cast was almost completely changed. The actress was left without work, but did not lose her presence of mind, she tried to get a job in other theaters.
The white streak in her life began in the same 2005, when Danilova got into the cinema. It was a dubbing, but what a movie! Blockbuster "War of the Worlds". An even more important victory was that the actress was cast in a new comedy show that aired on the Ren TV channel.
A year later, the show was renamed “6 frames” and it moved to the STS channel. Galina's colleagues on the set were Fyodor Dobronravov, Irina Medvedeva, Sergei Dorogov, Eduard Radzyukevich and Andrei Kaykov. It was this work that brought her not only fame, but also popularity.
After this, Galina Danilova began acting quite a lot in films. Her filmography is not as extensive as that of the recognized masters of feature films, but there are many interesting roles: the films “New Year's Tariff”, “Christmas Trees”, the series “Step by Step”.
Viewers also remembered her from her work in the TV series “Kadetstvo”, in which she played the mother of Suvorov soldier Levakov (also the son of her colleague in “6 Personnel” Fyodor Dobronravov).
Today, the actress is involved in the enterprise performances “The Sorceress, or a Session of Love Magic” and “Six Frames of the Show.”
Movies
Danilova made her screen debut in 2005 in the New Year's comedy “Oh Frost, Frost!”, where she played the cameo role of a mother. Although nominally Galina’s first appearance in front of the camera took place 6 years earlier, when they were making a television version of the play “The Thief of Baghdad”. After that, the actress appeared several more times in episodic roles, but her real breakthrough came in 2006, when the sketch show “6 Frames” was released. The program lasted until 2014, and during this time 8 full seasons were filmed.

Galina herself considers getting into the project, which made her one of the most popular television actresses, an absolute success. The casting, according to Danilova’s recollections, was tough and took place in several stages, so for the sake of the job she had to withstand tough competition. By the way, it is in “6 Frames” that you can see Danilova in a swimsuit - the actress appeared in it in 2009 in the episode “Swimming is prohibited!”
Being busy with a sketch show did not stop Galina from regularly adding to her filmography. In the popular youth series “Kadetstvo” Danilova played the role of Nina, the mother of cadet Levakov, and in the sitcom “Who’s the Boss” she talentedly embodied the image of the mischievous chairwoman of the parent committee.

In another sitcom, “Daddy's Daughters,” Galina was invited to play the role of the odious secretary Tamara, but Danilova refused. At the same time, she was invited to the serial film “Step by Step”, where she was offered the main role, and the choice of actress was obvious. She nevertheless appeared in “Daddy’s Daughters,” later playing Ilya Polezhaikin’s mother.
Danilova’s main role in her television biography remains characteristic and bright, but episodic characters.
Personal life
Galina’s personal life includes 4 official marriages, in which two children were born. The actress married her classmate Vladimir Popov for the first time in her youth. The first child was born in the marriage, son Nikita. When the boy was 8 months old, Galina and her husband sent him to Kazan, under the supervision of his grandmother - the young parents needed to build a career. The marriage subsequently broke up, and at the age of 16, Nikita, whose father had disappeared from his life, took his mother's surname.

The next marriage lasted 5 years and turned out to be difficult: Galina’s second husband was a serious businessman and a lover of dissipation. Then the actress threw in her lot with a man 8 years younger than her. Galina met Dmitry Koltakov, a musician of the Jazz-Balalaika group, at Satyricon while working on the play “Jacques and His Master.” This time Danilova was so confident in the seriousness of the relationship that she even got married to her husband.
From Dmitry, the woman gave birth to a daughter, Ulyana, which she was frankly happy about - her first motherhood did not work out because of work, and her son spent most of his time with his grandmother. However, the marriage, which endured lack of money, difficult living conditions and other troubles, crashed into a career - the husband could not accept Galina’s popularity, which fell on his wife after the success of “6 Frames”.
Galina Danilova and her husband Seyhun Ezber
In 2011, Danilova married for the fourth time to a sea captain, Turkish Seyhun Ezber, whom she met while on vacation. In an interview, the actress said that she was happy in her marriage and that marriage gave her the necessary feelings of security and confidence.
And in 2016, Galina decided to take a bold step: having a bright appearance that did not suit her age, the woman became a participant in the program “10 Years Younger.” During filming, the actress underwent a facelift, blepharoplasty, and replaced some of her teeth with implants.

The artist’s fans had an ambivalent attitude towards the act - some approved of Galina’s decision, some considered that the interventions were unnecessary. In any case, in the photo before and after plastic surgery, the difference is noticeable, but it is difficult to say whether it is the result of surgery or a consequence of the makeup and lighting set by the photographer.
Was there plastic surgery?
The actress was in no hurry to get an appointment at a cosmetology clinic: she looked great for a very long time and did not need the services of a plastic surgeon at all. But the years take their toll, and with the advent of high-definition television, every wrinkle is visible on the screen - no amount of makeup can save you.
Galina underwent several operations: a facelift and SMAS lifting were performed, and at the same time the shape of her eyes was improved using blepharoplasty. By the way, all these procedures were carried out simultaneously, in a complex.
In order to slightly improve the shape of her breasts, the actress agreed to mammoplasty. To make the smile even more charming, I had to decide to replace several teeth with artificial implants, and at the same time, very high-quality whitening was carried out.
Appearance has changed for the better! The actress has become prettier and clearly younger. The talent of plastic surgeons is immediately visible: the intervention was very delicate, which allowed the actress to maintain her individuality and continue a successful career in film and television, preserving the love of millions of fans of her talent.

Family happiness did not force the actress to give up her career. Now Galina continues to act and perform on the stages of various theaters. In addition, the actress became a grandmother - her son Nikita gave the woman a grandson.
Galina Danilova in 2020
There is no exact information about Galina’s marriage on the Internet for 2020. In 2015, information appeared that the actress’s marriage had cracked, but there was no information about a divorce. Fans can observe the artist’s life thanks to her Instagram account: there the woman regularly posts photos of both everyday work and everyday life.
Personal life of Galina Danilova
The actress’s relationships with men frankly did not work out. Even in her youth, Galina tried to improve relations with her father, who once abandoned her, but to no avail. According to Danilova, despite the fact that she was surrounded by the love of her mother and grandparents, she always felt the need for her father.
The actress's first husband was her classmate Vladimir Popov. They moved to Moscow together, served in the same theater, and played together in the production of Macbeth. From this marriage, Galina gave birth to a son, Nikita (1989), but in 1990 the marriage broke up.
Galina's second choice was a Muscovite entrepreneur with a very difficult character. After 5 years, unable to withstand the barrage of claims and even episodes of physical violence, Galina filed for divorce.
Musician Dmitry Koltakov, who became Galina’s third husband, was 8 years younger than the actress. From this marriage, baby Ulyana was born (2001), but neither the birth of a daughter nor the wedding could save the marriage. Dmitry could not come to terms with the fame that befell his wife with her participation in the “6 Frames” project.
In 2011, Danilova decided to get married for the fourth time. She hoped to find female happiness with Seyhun Ezber, a Turk, 17 years younger than her. For some time, the artist’s fans rejoiced at her sparkling eyes and happy smile, and in 2020, in the “Alone with Everyone” program, Galina admitted that she was divorcing her Turkish husband, explaining this by a mutual decision and a difference in mentality. Moreover, it turned out that the man registered all the property Galina bought during her marriage - a house, land and a car - in his own name, and after the divorce the actress was left with nothing.
