By the age of 17, the red-haired beauty Valya Lyapina managed to star in more than thirty films. Initially, the girl planned to become a model; at the age of eight she was already walking on the catwalk, but when she attended the first screen tests in her life, she realized that the acting profession was much more interesting and closer to her. She began her path to big cinema with the series “Closed School”, where she played the role of Tasya Baryshnikova. And today Valya can be seen in the series about the 90s “World! Friendship! Chewing gum!”, which recently launched on the TNT channel.

“Nobody dressed like that in the 90s.” Viewers - about the series “World! Friendship! Gum!" Since the girl herself was born in the 2000s, of course, she had to make an effort to get into the role of her heroine Zhenya. Lyapina was helped in this by her parents, cinema and music: “For each of my heroines, I create a personal playlist (music greatly influences the mood, state, even behavior). For Zhenya, I collected the most atmospheric tracks of the 80s and 90s, those that she could actually hear: from our DDT, Nikolaev, Kar-Man, to foreign ones - Queen, Whitney Houston, Phil Collins. And every day I tuned in to the right mood,” the actress said in an interview with the GEOPRO portal.

Combining an acting career with Lyapina’s studies is not easy: “Lessons are done in trailers between scenes. Of course, sometimes you have to skip classes,” said the girl’s father, Vladislav Lyapin, several years ago in the “Male/Female” program. Then the man emphasized that from 2nd to 6th grade his daughter was an excellent student. However, it is unknown how the aspiring actress is doing on this front today, because there are more and more filmings. Unlike Katya Starshova, Valya does not plan to leave her favorite profession for now.

Movies

At the age of 6, Ekaterina Starshova passed the casting and joined the cast of the family television series “Daddy’s Daughters.” The heroine Polina Vasnetsova is the youngest in the family, which is why she is called Button. But the character and life position of this little one can be the envy of any adult.

After the release of this sitcom, little Katya woke up famous and overnight became the most successful Russian child star. Sometimes Starshova could not get to school without signing a number of autographs along the way. Fans of the popular sitcom became interested in the creative biography of the little star.

In the series, Button has a favorite toy - a teddy bear, which the girl calls Bublik. It is curious that the little actress became so attached to this inanimate hero of the film that the film crew decided to give Katya a copy of her plush friend.

Starshova starred in “Daddy’s Daughters” for almost six years. In between the seasons of the sitcom, Katya appeared in the melodrama “Rusalka” with Maria Shalaeva in the title role. The film is about a girl who lives on the sea coast with her mother and grandmother and is waiting for her father. Later, the heroine grows up and leaves for the city, where she gets a job as a housekeeper in the house of businessman Sasha (Evgeny Tsyganov).

In the 2009 superhero blockbuster Black Lightning, the actress played the role of the younger sister of the main character Dmitry Maykov (Grigory Dobrygin), who, to help people in trouble, turns into a superhero named Black Lightning. This happens thanks to the Volga GAZ-21 car, which was given to the young man for his birthday by his father. "Volga" helps a young man win the love of a girl, Anastasia (Ekaterina Vilkova).

Katya Starshova

An excerpt characterizing Starshov, Ekaterina Igorevna

The Italian, apparently, was happy only when he could come to Pierre and talk and tell him about his past, about his home life, about his love and pour out his indignation at the French, and especially at Napoleon. “If all Russians are even a little like you,” he said to Pierre, “c’est un sacrilege que de faire la guerre a un peuple comme le votre.” [It is blasphemy to fight with a people like you.] You, who have suffered so much from the French, you don’t even have any malice against them. And Pierre now deserved the Italian’s passionate love only because he evoked in him the best sides of his soul and admired them. During the last period of Pierre's stay in Oryol, his old freemason acquaintance, Count Villarsky, came to see him, the same one who introduced him to the lodge in 1807. Villarsky was married to a rich Russian woman who had large estates in the Oryol province, and occupied a temporary position in the city in the food department. Having learned that Bezukhov was in Orel, Villarsky, although he had never been briefly acquainted with him, came to him with those statements of friendship and intimacy that people usually express to each other when meeting in the desert. Villarsky was bored in Orel and was happy to meet a person of the same circle as himself and with the same, as he believed, interests. But, to his surprise, Villarsky soon noticed that Pierre was very far behind real life and had fallen, as he himself defined Pierre, into apathy and selfishness. “Vous vous encroutez, mon cher,” he told him. Despite this, Villarsky was now more pleasant with Pierre than before, and he visited him every day. For Pierre, looking at Villarsky and listening to him now, it was strange and incredible to think that he himself had very recently been the same. Villarsky was married, a family man, busy with the affairs of his wife’s estate, his service, and his family. He believed that all these activities were a hindrance in life and that they were all despicable because they were aimed at the personal good of him and his family. Military, administrative, political, and Masonic considerations constantly absorbed his attention. And Pierre, without trying to change his view, without condemning him, with his now constantly quiet, joyful mockery, admired this strange phenomenon, so familiar to him. In his relations with Villarsky, with the princess, with the doctor, with all the people with whom he now met, Pierre had a new trait that earned him the favor of all people: this recognition of the ability of each person to think, feel and look at things in his own way; recognition of the impossibility of words to dissuade a person. This legitimate characteristic of every person, which previously worried and irritated Pierre, now formed the basis of the participation and interest that he took in people. The difference, sometimes the complete contradiction of people's views with their lives and with each other, pleased Pierre and aroused in him a mocking and gentle smile. In practical matters, Pierre suddenly now felt that he had a center of gravity that he did not have before. Previously, every money question, especially requests for money, to which he, as a very rich man, was subjected very often, led him into hopeless unrest and bewilderment. “To give or not to give?” - he asked himself. “I have it, but he needs it. But someone else needs it even more. Who needs it more? Or maybe both are deceivers? And from all these assumptions he had previously not found any way out and gave to everyone while he had something to give. He had been in exactly the same bewilderment before with every question concerning his condition, when one said that it was necessary to do this, and the other - another.

Personal life[edit | edit code]

On July 3, 2020, she published a photo with a young man on the social network Instagram, commenting on him: “When I wanted to capture the way I look at my boyfriend...” [5], however, already on August 16 of the same year, she stated in an interview that she had guy, but after close communication they quickly separated, and she is only busy with work[6].

On December 19, 2020, she admitted in an interview with Cosmopolitan that she was dating a young man named Vasily, whom she met at the skating rink. According to Starshova, she has known him since childhood, but real feelings arose only now[7].

Usual life

The girl’s very first fans are her grandmother and, of course, her parents. However, they are not so much happy for her as they are worried about the numerous cases of the fading away of young stars of the “one role”. It is not so important how old Katya Starshova is, because she is an ordinary child with a healthy psyche. Upon returning home after tiring filming, Ekaterina always becomes a simple schoolgirl.

Her parents assume that for Katya, cinema is just a period of time, a period of passion that will someday end, and not her whole life. And her grandmother, when asked a provocative question about how old Katya Starshova will be when she gets a real serious role, answers: “I secretly hope that my granddaughter will not become an actress.”

The decision remains with Catherine. Today she is a smart girl who just reads the poems of her beloved Pasternak, loves pets and visits the Katyusha beauty and aesthetics center in her free time in order to completely liberate herself and become even more independent.
