Elizaveta Boyarskaya
- Kuprin. In the dark "
- "Admiral"
- "I'll be back"
Incredibly, Elizaveta Boyarskaya did not immediately come to the decision to become an actress. For a long time she dreamed of a dance career and devoted almost 13 years to choreography. The future star appeared on the set for the first time at the age of 15, playing a small role in the series "Keys to Death". But the experience did not impress her in the least.
As a high school student, Lisa decided that she wanted to try her hand at journalism, even signed up for preparatory courses at one of the universities. But, accidentally finding herself at a rehearsal in the educational "Theater on Mokhovaya", she suddenly realized that the stage beckons her with incredible force. The parents supported the daughter's decision to enter SPbGATI, which she did, having successfully passed all the entrance exams.
Currently, Elizabeth successfully combines work in theater and cinema. She already has many amazing roles in various projects. And every year new films with her participation are released. The actress has long since stepped out of the shadow of her famous father and has proved that she is a worthy successor of the Boyarsky-Luppian creative dynasty.
Konstantin Kryukov
- "Swallow's Nest"
- "Pennsylvania"

The first work in cinema for Konstantin was shooting in the action movie "Company 9", where he was invited by his uncle. By the way, for the role of a private named Gioconda Kryukov was nominated for the MTV-Russia award in the Breakthrough of the Year nomination. The potential of the young performer was instantly appreciated by other directors and began to invite him to their projects. Today Konstantin continues to actively act in films, although he never received a diploma of a professional artist. And in his free time from the cinema, he is engaged in painting and makes jewelry under his own brand.
Maria Kozakova
- "Bad blood"
- "Honey love"
- "All the treasures of the world"
To be the successor of a creative dynasty is a very responsible business. After all, everyone around you is constantly comparing you with famous ancestors. This is what Maria had to face at the dawn of her career. And all because the blood of the People's Artist of Russia Alena Yakovleva and the actor Kirill Kozakov flows in her veins, who, in turn, are also the heirs of the greatest performers, People's Artists Yuri Yakovlev and Mikhail Kozakov.
But despite the burden of responsibility to the famous ancestors, Maria is quite successfully building her creative career.

In the creative piggy bank of the young performer there are already more than 20 roles, some of which are the main ones.

- "90th. Fun and loud "
- Mosgaz. Formula of revenge "
This young Russian performer is the daughter of actors Maria Selyanskaya (nee Evstigneeva) and Maxim Razuvaev, the only granddaughter of the legendary Evgeny Evstigneev. As a toddler, she starred in a commercial for Fruttis yogurt. And at the age of 9 she made her debut on the stage of the Sovremennik Theater in a tiny role without words. But the desire to become a real artist appeared much later.
Already finishing school, Sophia realized that she wanted to continue the family business, and entered the Moscow Art Theater School. Later, on the advice of an agent, she changed her last name from her father's to her grandfather's. And this step turned out to be the right one: the directors drew attention to the granddaughter of the legend of Soviet cinema and began to invite her to their projects. Over the 3 years that have passed after graduating from a theatrical university, Evstigneeva starred in six projects, and her play was well received by the public. In the near future, viewers will be able to see the girl in several more films.
Pavel Tabakov
- "Call center"
- "Tobol"
- "Catherine. Impostors "
This young performer, who became famous after the role of Tsarevich Paul I, can be safely called a worthy successor of the creative dynasty. As the child of the legendary Oleg Tabakov and the inimitable Marina Zudina, Pavel has absorbed the artistic spirit since childhood.
At the age of 12 he made his stage debut, and at 15 he got his first role in a big movie. True, the desire to become a professional actor appeared much later. By the age of 25, Tabakov Jr. had already played in several performances of the famous "snuffbox" and the Moscow Art Theater. Chekhov and starred in more than 15 feature films and TV series.

And the grandmother is the People's Artist of the RSFSR Valentina Illarionovna Talyzina.
From an early age, Nastya studied ballet and was considered a very promising dancer, but a serious injury canceled her plans to build a choreographic career. And since since childhood the girl “cooked” in the acting environment and even took part in creative evenings of her famous grandmother, the choice of her future profession was obvious.
The youngest Talyzina entered the VTU named after V. Shchepkina, which she graduated this year. Despite the fact that Anastasia is at the beginning of her creative career, she has already managed to star in five film projects, and not only in episodic, but also in the main roles.

Dasha and Katya are twins, so they have the same behavior. Rotating from an early age in a creative environment and watching the successful careers of close relatives, they could not help but choose the same profession.
