“More than anything in the world, she wanted to play theater stage or to the cinema. I tried to find for myself interesting roles, but all the time something didn’t work out.

The producers saw this dedication; they were pleased with Natasha’s work. Now we will have to completely re-shoot all the scenes with her participation. The fact is that the heroine is important for the plot, she will appear in the second season, and therefore even in memory of ex-wife I can’t leave this role behind her,” said Fedotov.

Now all the man’s thoughts are occupied with raising his 11-year-old son Roland. Previously, the boy lived with Natalya, but now his father will become his guardian. “The child knows that his mother died, but so far refuses to believe it. I hoped that after the divorce she would be able to meet someone, fall in love, that she would have more children, but it doesn’t seem to be fate,” said Anton.

Natalya Yunnikova - biography and filmography of the artist

Natalya Yunnikova – Russian actress, who received recognition from viewers after playing the role of investigator Vasilisa Mikhailova in the television series “The Return of Mukhtar.” She can also be seen in such films as “Both in sorrow and in joy”, “Ermolovs” and many others.

Natalya was born in Lipetsk and dreamed of cinema almost from the cradle. Having barely learned to walk, the girl twirled in front of the mirror, and as she got older, she began to imagine herself in various images and really loved to be photographed.

After school, Natasha, accompanied by her mother, goes to Moscow and submits documents to a number of theater universities in the capital. It is noteworthy that the provincial applicant’s talent was immediately recognized by three higher educational institutions: GITIS, Boris Shchukin Institute and Mikhail Shchepkin Higher Theater School. And it was the latter that Yunnikova chose.

On course people's artist Russia Vladimir Safronov Natalya turned out to be the only visiting girl and stood out from the galaxy of Muscovites. But this fact did not bother the student at all, because her dream began to come true.

So it seemed then. In fact, fate inexorably intervened: Yunnikova met her first love at the institute, got married, and immediately after graduating from university, she and her husband went to permanent place residence in Israel.

In a distant country, Natalya was not in demand as an actress. She was offered several times the roles of Slavic girls, tricked into the nets of Asian brothels, but she refused each time, since there is no need to play anything, just to be naked. Instead of cinema, the girl began to develop as a TV presenter. She was the face of several entertainment programs on the Israel Plus channel, and she herself wrote the script for the programs “Scarlet Sails” and “Not Childish Fun.” Also in Israel, a young woman tried herself as a producer.

Upon returning to Moscow in 2007, Natalya Yunnikova actually began her career with clean slate. She, of course, had extensive experience working on television, but now the woman planned to achieve recognition as a film actress. So I went to storm the castings and pretty soon received my first script. Later, she moved to live in Kyiv for some time, where she was the presenter of the central TV channel Inter.

Movies

Natalya Yunnikova’s screen debut in feature films was the “Domostroy” series from the medical series “The Personal Life of Doctor Selivanova,” where she played the role of a doctor’s patient. At the same time, the actress appeared in two episodes of the first season of the crime detective “The Web.”

Natalya’s audition for the melodrama “Tatiana’s Day” was successful: she was approved for main role Tatiana Razbezhkina. The girl was already learning her lines by heart when it suddenly turned out that this character had been given to another actress, Anna Snatkina. Yunnikova still appeared in this series, but in a cameo role ex-lover character performed by Kirill Safonov.

But Natalya did not lose heart: just then she was offered to join the cast of the already very popular serial film about the everyday life of the Moscow police, “The Return of Mukhtar.” There Yunnikova transformed into investigator Vasilisa Mikhailova, and this heroine made the actress famous throughout the country.

It was very interesting to work in this project, so Natalya stayed on the set of “Mukhtar” for a long time: she played Vasilisa for almost seven years, albeit with interruptions. The most unusual thing, according to the actress’s recollections, was that the leading actor, a smart dog named Mukhtar, often changed. The audience hardly notices this, but during filming, 12 German Shepherd dogs were replaced. And the artists had to re-find a common language with their four-legged partner each time. This was all the more difficult because trainers prohibit feeding dogs to establish contact.

As mentioned above, the role of investigator Mikhailova brought fame to Natalia Yunnikova, but the actress herself believes that because of this series, directors began to see her exclusively in the role of a positive heroine fighting injustice, so she did not receive other complex roles. However, Natalya starred in the historical saga “The Yermolovs”, in the female melodramas “Lights” big city", "Corner of Paradise" and "Both in sorrow and in joy", as well as in the fifth season of the popular comedy sitcom "Kitchen" in the role of a hypnotist.

Personal life

The wedding was not too lavish. Having celebrated a modest celebration, the couple got ready and moved to Israel, or rather to Tel Aviv, where the parents of Natalya Yunnikova’s husband lived. After working on television for some time, the husband and wife were about to return to Moscow, but then the news was announced: Natasha realized that she was pregnant, and it made sense to give birth in Israel, where medicine is at a very high level.

As the actress says, the birth was difficult, not without surgical intervention. However, soon the woman already went to work, and the grandmothers were sitting with Natalya and Anton’s son, Roland. But here’s an amazing thing: the birth of a baby, instead of further strengthening the family, on the contrary, brought discord into the relationship between Yunnikova and Fedotov. And since hostilities broke out again in Israel in 2006, the woman took her son and left for Russia.

The husband joined them a little later, as he wanted to resolve some financial issues in Tel Aviv. As a result, instead of closing the accounts, he incurred even more debt. Money began to disappear from the apartment in Moscow as well. After some time, Natalya realized: Anton suffers from gambling addiction. For her it became the last straw, and the woman files for divorce in 2008.

In mid-September 2017, the Russian actress was urgently taken to a medical facility. It turned out that the woman was admitted to the hospital with a severe head injury. Doctors tried for a long time to bring the artist back to life, but the resuscitation measures carried out did not bring any results.
