The girl gained popularity after the release of the series “Carmelita,” where she played the wayward daughter of a gypsy baron. Her acting talent was evident even in childhood. Julia loved to parody the people around her, inventing funny nicknames for them. She always knew what she wanted and gradually moved towards her goals. The girl has enough time to film films, participate in TV shows, have a personal life and communicate with friends.
Hobbies in childhood
The future star grew up in a loving family. Her father, Alexander Petrovich, was a veterinarian. Later, he also became a teacher at a local technical school, teaching students Latin and other disciplines. Zoya Grigorievna, the girl’s mother, worked as a school teacher of chemistry and biology. Since her youth, she dreamed of becoming an actress, so she constantly staged plays at home with Yulia and her sister Elena. Zoya independently sewed costumes for her daughters and gave them the main roles.
The girls were not only interested in acting. They really liked music, Lena later became the director of the choir. Julia loved to sing, she dreamed of connecting her future life with vocals. She studied piano at a music school, and after the ninth grade she tried to enter college. Unfortunately, the schoolgirl did not manage to become a university student.
Thanks to the support of her parents, Zimina grew up to be a confident and very persistent girl. Failure to enter could not break her character. Julia continued to work on herself, dreaming of becoming a singer or dancer in the future. She also wanted to do voice acting for cartoons.
Zimina and Ilya Averbukh
The legendary trainer, who has been working on the “Ice Age” project for many years, after divorcing his wife, came under the vigilant attention of the yellow press. Therefore, his every word or glance, praise or reproach is inflated by the paparazzi into a huge soap bubble. At one time, he was credited with having affairs with all the participants in the show, and Zimina was also rumored - after her performances in the project in 2013, Averbukh praised the aspiring figure skater. Immediately, reports appeared on the Internet and in the press about a romance between the beautiful actress and the famous athlete.

To all such statements, the actress responds that she does not have any romantic connection with Averbukh and does not intend to have one. According to her, there are very warm, friendly relations between them, as befits colleagues in the ice arena. The skater himself, apparently accustomed to such attacks, did not react to the rumors.
Work in the theater
In 1999, Zimina received a school certificate. She immediately decided to enter the Saratov Conservatory in the acting department. But her parents did not approve of this initiative, because the graduate did not have the necessary skills and experience of playing on a real stage. However, the selection committee approved her candidacy. They needed just such inexperienced, but very artistic students.
During her studies, Julia regularly performed in the student theater. She participated in such productions as “The Family of Ghouls,” “Slave Women,” “An Ordinary Miracle” and “Mad Money.”
Yulia attended Rimma Belyakova’s workshop until 2003. She performed well and after graduating from the conservatory she received offers from several theaters at once. But the girl did not want to stay in Saratov or go to some nearby town. She was drawn to Moscow, so soon the actress packed her things and moved with her classmate.
At first, life in the capital was not easy for young dreamers. They had to earn extra money as promoters, play in children's plays, and take on any job to survive. In her free time, Zimina ran to castings in the hope of getting at least one role. And she succeeded - the girl was invited to the troupe of the “Cool Theater” on Belorusskaya. The actress participated in various productions, the most striking among them were “Family of Ghouls,” “Woe from Wit” and “Hero of Our Time.”
Zimina and Maxim Shchegolev
The popularity of “Carmelita” was so high that the producers thought about a sequel to the film.

According to Shchegolev, the children of her common-law husband served as a bone of contention in the relationship - they had no place in the personal life and biography of Yulia Zimina. The girl’s relationship with Maxim’s friends and relatives also did not work out – she wanted Shchegolev to belong to her alone. In one of his interviews, the artist commented on his breakup with Carmelita very violently, uttering a lot of reproaches towards her for misunderstanding, coldness, irritability and selfishness.
The actress did not comment on the actions of her former lover, but Shchegolev’s followers began to strongly support their idol in their reviews, accusing the beauty of insensitivity and predicting a lonely old age for her.
Gypsy passion
