In 1993, the sitcom "My Fair Nanny" was launched on the STS TV channel. The whole country followed the development of relations between nanny Vika and single father Maxim, and even children sang the song “She worked in a boutique in Biryulyovo”. The ratings were so high that the project was shown on the screens for seven seasons. The story of the fate of the stars of the series is in the material.

Nanny Vika - Anastasia Zavorotnyuk

For the role of nanny Victoria Prutkovskaya from Mariupol, the producers initially considered stars like Natasha Koroleva, Zhanna Friske, Amalia Mordvinova, Olga Shelest, Evelina Bledans and Nonna Grishaeva. The candidacy of the latter was unanimously approved, but due to her employment in the theater, Grishaeva was unable to take part in the filming. As a result, the choice was made in favor of the then little-known actress Anastasia Zavorotnyuk.

“Nastya was found two weeks before filming began. We also laughed later that she flew into the last carriage, ”recalled her colleague on the TV series Boris Smolkin. A significant role in the approval of Zavorotnyuk was played by her external resemblance to the actress Fran Drescher, who played the nanny in the original version of the sitcom.

True, unlike her American colleague, she managed to make the image more realistic - after all, not every nanny can afford branded things. Kitsch style, cheerfulness and provincial speech became Zavorotnyuk's "trump card". According to the plot, her heroine, after being fired from the boutique, begins to earn money by selling cosmetics and makes a good look at the music producer Maxim Shatalin, who offers her to work as a nanny for three children.

During the filming, Zavorotnyuk managed to become a mother twice in a marriage with businessman Dmitry Stryukov. For some time, the actress had an affair with her colleague on the series, Sergei Zhigunov. The actress broke up with him after meeting her new husband, figure skater Peter Chernyshev. In 2018, fellow celebrities reported that she was diagnosed with brain cancer. Zavorotnyuk herself stopped appearing in public. Representatives of the actress do not comment on rumors about her health.

Producer Maxim Shatalin - Sergei Zhigunov

When Sergei Zhigunov was invited to play the role of single father Maxim Shatalin, he was already known as the star of the nostalgic series "Midshipmen, Go!". Despite the fact that it was "My Fair Nanny" that brought the actor wide fame, he himself recalls that period with horror. This was due not so much to his attitude to the show as to the tedious process: the actors spent almost all their time on the set.

Currently, Zhigunov, like his character Maxim, is engaged in producing. He is also the President of the Morning of the Motherland festival in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. There he met journalist Victoria Vorozhbit, whom he married in March 2021.

Masha - Ekaterina Dubakina

Shatalin's eldest daughter Maria was played by the actress Ekaterina Dubakina. After the success of the show, the girl starred in a cameo role in the melodrama "Heat", in the TV series "Traffic Light", "A little out of my mind" and "Method". For some time, Dubakina played on the stage of the Theater on Malaya Bronnaya and at the Center. Meyerhold, and then did not remind of herself for a long time. In July 2021, she delighted fans with the news of the wedding, without revealing the name of her chosen one.

Deniska - Pavel Serdyuk

The role of Shatalin's son, the mischievous Deniska, went to Pavel Serdyuk, who at the time of filming was studying at a music school. At the peak of his popularity, the actor decided to leave his hobby and go to drama school. After graduating from GITIS, he starred in the youth TV series "Ranetki" in the role of Stepan Beluta. There he met his future wife Anna Rudneva. However, the marriage did not last long. Now the former spouses are in a relationship for the sake of their daughter Sophia.

In September 2020, Serdyuk changed his occupation and got a job in a car repair shop. “Sometimes I do cars - just for myself, I love old cars. It's still better than drinking vodka at the entrance, ”he shared. The actor spoke about the changes in appearance on the talk show "Hello, Andrey!": Due to severe stress, he went bald, which is why he is rarely recognized on the streets.

Ksyusha - Irina Andreeva

The role of the youngest and most erudite daughter in the Shatalin family was portrayed on the screen by a native of St. Petersburg Irina Andreeva, who at the time of filming was 10 years old. After participating in My Fair Nanny, the girl moved to London, where she later graduated from high school, and then the Faculty of International Politics at King's College.

Today in Andreeva it is difficult to recognize that very girl Ksyusha - she changed her image, dyed her hair blonde. According to social media, she travels a lot accompanied by her boyfriend, the England rugby team player.

Butler Konstantin - Boris Smolkin

The audience followed the striking duet of the butler Konstantin and the secretary Zhanna Arkadyevna no less than the pair of Maxim and Vika. Boris Smolkin, the performer of the role of the butler, learned about the casting in the series from a friend, a kaveenschik.“Since I was not spoiled by offers, I went to try in Moscow. And I went there for exactly 9 months! Although later I learned that the Americans, who were casting together with our producers, approved me literally from the first day, "Smolkin said.

In life, the actor also loves to cook and recently took part in the culinary show "Save me, I can't cook", where he made dumplings with pink salmon and Bulgarian soup. Despite his fame, Smolkin does not often act in films, preferring the theater. At 73, he continues to live with his second wife, Svetlana.

Secretary Zhanna Arkadyevna - Olga Prokofieva

The arrogant secretary Zhanna Arkadyevna Izhevskaya, who plotted against Vika, was performed by actress Olga Prokofieva. Lyubov Polishchuk also auditioned for her role, who later played the nanny's mother.

Prokofieva admitted that in other projects it was difficult for her to get rid of the comedic role. While the press attributed to her an affair with her colleague on the series Boris Smolkin, in her personal life the actress was going through a difficult relationship with her husband and actor Yuri Sokolov. “My husband screamed at every corner how bad I am. The man was a gigolo all his life, so he believed that he had to shout. Television pestered us: we spent the night in the entrances, climbed into the keyhole, ran after our son Alexander, ”she said.

Now Prokofieva calls herself a happy person and admits that after the divorce, her career took off. The actress continues to play in the theater and appear in films, albeit in secondary roles. About whether she has a chosen one, Prokofieva is silent. According to the artist, the most important place in her life is occupied by her son Alexander.

Vika's mother - Lyubov Polishchuk

The role of Vika's mother was one of the last for Lyubov Polishchuk. At the casting, the actress introduced herself as "Lubof", the producers realized that there was no need to look for anyone else and approved her, renaming the heroine Svetlana to Lyubov Grigorievna. The emotional image of the mother was so organic that the audience did not immediately learn about the serious illness of the actress. In 2005, doctors diagnosed Polishchuk with spinal cancer. Overcoming severe pain, she came to the shooting in an orthopedic corset. Colleagues noted that the actress rarely complained about her health, and on the shooting of the last episode of the sixth season, where the wedding of Maxim and Vika took place according to the plot, she played while sitting. Polishchuk passed away on November 28, 2006.

Vika's father - Alexander Filippenko

The producers did not look for a replacement for Polishchuk and brought Vika's father into the final season. His role was played by Alexander Filippenko, known for the TV series Poor Nastya and the film adaptation of The Master and Margarita by Vladimir Bortko.

Filming in the project, according to the actor, became an interesting experience for him, since before that he had not starred in sitcoms. Currently, 77-year-old Filippenko plays on the stage of the Gogol Center and occasionally acts in films. Among his recent works is the role of Leonid Brezhnev in the drama "World Champion".

Galya, Vika's friend - Olesya Zheleznyak

Until the third season, Vika's on-screen girlfriend was played by Gulnara Nizhinskaya. After her departure, the producers came up with a new girlfriend for the heroine - a cheerful and slightly silly Galya performed by Olesya Zheleznyak. Now the actress plays in the troupe "Lenkom" and continues to act in films, mainly in a comedy role ("Matchmakers", "Milk"). Zheleznyak is raising four children.

Baba Nadia - Alexandra Nazarova

Another colorful character in the sitcom was Vika's eccentric grandmother Nadezhda Mikhailovna, who, despite sclerosis, enjoyed success with the opposite sex. The performer of the role of Alexander Nazarov after filming in "My Fair Nanny" played in "Freaks", "A Short Course in a Happy Life", "Fir-trees" and other films. In parallel, the actress performed on the stage of the Theater. Ermolova and dubbed foreign films. In 2019, Nazarova died of multiple organ failure at the age of 80.
