Rina was born on August 16, 1987 in Naro-Fominsk, near Moscow, where her maternal grandparents lived. The parents themselves lived in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The father provided for the family by fishing.

The girl's first hobby was ballet, and when she was 4 years old, her parents took her to ballet school. Rina dreamed of becoming a professional ballerina, and the able-bodied girl had all the prerequisites for this. But a leg injury dramatically changed her fate: three operations, several months in a cast and a long recovery ruined the dancer’s career. In parallel with dancing, Rina attended a music school, where she mastered two instruments: piano and violin.

At the age of 13, a new tragedy awaited the girl: her father died. Mom moved her daughters (Rina and her younger sister Lisa) to St. Petersburg. Here, the creatively gifted little girl realized her potential within the youth theater group at the Zazerkalye musical theater, where Rina studied until she graduated from school.

ABOUT MAKEUP
I don't wear makeup in everyday life. My best is a little Bobbi Brown tint and Benefit tint on my lips and cheeks. The skin needs to rest. This is my advice to young girls - don’t put on makeup unless necessary, don’t spoil your face from your youth!
Although I have been wearing makeup, one might say, since childhood because of ballet. I quickly learned how to put on makeup, and for all my performances I drew eyeliner on my own.
I do my makeup very well, and if I go out, I handle my hair and makeup myself. I always have lip tint, lip balm and concealer in my bag.
Actor career
The first appearance on the big screen happened back in 2001. 14-year-old Rina was invited to participate in the filming of the series “Named Baron.” The girl played the main character Oksana (Anna Geller) as a child. In the same year, the creators of the British series Crime and Punishment came to St. Petersburg for filming. Rina got the small role of a singing beggar girl to whom Raskolnikov hands a coin. Having received it, the girl immediately falls silent, and Raskolnikov becomes furious.

This was followed by one of the main roles in the children's adventure film "The Secret of the Zaborsky Whirlpool", where, together with young Maxim Emelyanov, Rina revealed the secret of the monster living in the lake. The film's cast received awards from the Kinotavrik and Artek children's festivals.

Over the following years, the young actress’s filmography was replenished with episodic roles in well-known projects (“Liteiny, 4”, “Streets of Broken Lanterns”, “Road Patrol”, “Chief”, “Secrets of the Investigation”).
When the last bell rang for graduate Rina Grishina, the question of her future profession was resolved: she submitted documents to the St. Petersburg State Academy of Theater Arts. Three years later, her sister also entered there. In 2012, Rina became a graduate of Sergei Cherkassky’s workshop.

In parallel with her studies and theatrical appearances, she continued to appear on television: she could be seen in the action movie “Atonement” (2010), the TV series “PPS” and “The Fifth Blood Type” (2011), “Coast Guard” (2012), and the psychological drama “ Games for adult children." In the latter, Rina took on a key role - a girl from the province, who became part of a tangled tangle of relationships.

During her studies, the girl was also lucky to be in the cast of the new “Sherlock Holmes” with Andrei Panin and Igor Petrenko. Her heroine's fiancé died, and the detectives had to find out the cause of his death.

In 2020, Rina was invited to film in Croatia - she got the role of a flight attendant in the series “Inspired” (Russian adaptation of the American series Mile High). Its heroine is flight attendant Varya, who decided to leave the profession after the plane crashed. The actress's shooting partners were Yulia Margulis, Daria Smirnova, Olga Lukyanenko and other young actresses.

Rina began to be recognized on the streets after the premiere of the fifth season of the TV series “Kitchen,” which was released in the same 2020. At first, her character, receptionist Svetlana Alekseeva, had almost no lines, but in the next season her story was expanded. As soon as the girl was approved for the role, she remembered the existence of her friend, who actually worked as a receptionist at the Marriott Hotel, and asked her about all the intricacies of the work: she asked her for four hours with a voice recorder and a pen in hand.
In 2020, “Kitchen” ended, but the characters so beloved by the audience “moved” to the spin-off of the series, “Hotel Eleon.” New ones also appeared - gorse ones performed by Diana Pozharskaya and Alexandra Kuzenkina.

Rina Grishina also works as a dubbing actress. Her voice can be heard in the films Scouts vs. Zombies, The Vatican Tapes, Paris at Any Cost, World War Z, Seven Psychopaths and many others.
Having agreed to film the next season of Hotel Eleon, the girl starred in Line of Light with Alexander Yatsko. The story of this series went beyond what the young actress had worked on before. She had to reincarnate as 18-year-old Varya, a student of a religious community. She does not know life outside the sect, but when her leader decides to take her as his wife, Varya runs away and finds herself in the real world for the first time.

ABOUT LIFE PHILOSOPHY
It's important to love yourself! All beauty comes from within. If you are in a good mood, you are in harmony with yourself, you are beautiful. The most important person who should love you is yourself. And if you love yourself, then you will be beautiful, you will glow from within, and it doesn’t matter what makeup you’re wearing today. When I’m in a hurry, I don’t have time to be with myself, I feel tired, when it doesn’t matter at all what I look like, I try to find something internally beautiful in myself so that this feeling will overshadow the feeling of fatigue. I have had enough difficulties and falls in my life, and at some point I realized that even if I am now in some difficult situation, I will get out, because I am very strong. And failures are a good boost! It is important to trust yourself, trust your gut instinct.
And it is also important to understand: whatever is done is always for the better!
All events are not accidental, sooner or later they will lead you to something.
You need to love yourself, believe in yourself and do what you love. Believe me, sooner or later this approach will begin to bear fruit. Text: Arina Zarudko

ABOUT NUTRITION
I eat everything, so everyone wonders where it all goes! I take energy from food, and I need a lot of energy. I have good genetics – that’s probably what it’s all about. But I limit myself to sweets. I can, of course, eat something if offered, but extremely rarely. I set myself a goal, and not even out of fear of gaining weight. I'm afraid of harming my skin - it is very important for an actor. My cosmetologist advised me to get tested to understand what I can eat in general and what it is better to exclude. It turned out that I should give up sugar. The skin is already very tired from makeup, we need to help it at least a little - give up sweets and alcohol. It’s also important to drink a lot of water!

The actress will also return to this role in the feature film “Policeman from Rublyovka. New Year's Mayhem", which will be released on New Year's Eve, December 20, 2020.
ABOUT SKIN CARE
During cold weather, I use cheap pharmaceutical F99 on the advice of a cosmetologist: the product perfectly moisturizes and protects the skin from peeling. I make sure to apply gel patches under my eyes every morning, and to prevent them from slipping, I leave them in the refrigerator overnight. I wash off my makeup with Bioderma micellar water and wash my face with Cetaphil foam (cleanses the skin very well and eliminates imperfections). I also like the oil-fluid for facial radiance from Riche. I am for simplicity in choosing cosmetics: if something budget helps me, I will use it, and not chase after some cosmetic brands. I recently discovered a rejuvenating mask that Catherine II used! Egg + juice of 1 lemon + spoon of honey + half a glass of vodka: put this mixture in the refrigerator. Why not? Simple care solutions are great! As for salon procedures, I only do facial cleansing and moisturizing masks with a cosmetologist, and go to the SPA for massages and peeling.
