Anna Khilkevich is a young and talented actress. Most TV viewers know her from her roles in the TV series “Barvikha” and “Univer. New dorm.” Sometimes Anya performs in clubs as a DJ.
Her pretty appearance only blossoms with age, and Anna’s doll-like face cannot be spoiled even by pregnancy and childbirth.
The actress was born in 1986 in St. Petersburg. IN early childhood she wanted to be a celebrity, she was attracted by the stage atmosphere. The parents did not resist their daughter’s wishes and sent her to a dance and vocal studio.
Then Anna graduated from theater school, the Shchukin Higher Theater School, and received a diploma in Marketing and Advertising. She skillfully combined study and filming.
Khilkevich was married twice. For the first time on the set of “Barvikha” she met the series administrator Anton Pokrepa; the marriage lasted a year and a half and broke up due to cold feelings. The second marriage with businessman Arthur Volkov became more successful. In the winter of 2015, the couple had a daughter, Arianna.
The girl has neat facial features and slim figure. Hair color also remains unchanged - Anna prefers shades of blonde. However, the most observant fans still noticed changes in appearance, which supposedly had nothing to do with growing up and natural changes - childbirth, cosmetic procedures.
After giving birth, Anna gained ten extra pounds, with whom I said goodbye in a short time with the help physical exercise and balanced nutrition. Photos of the girl in underwear raised doubts among fans: in one photo the breasts are approximately unremarkable, but in the second they have a more rounded shape and are unnaturally raised. But there was no evidence of plastic surgery among the haters.
Many accused the actress of changing her facial features - over time, her cheekbones became sharper, her nose more neat, her lips more sensual. The girl posted a collage on Instagram, where her childhood photo and a modern one, and tried to prove that plastic surgery is nothing more than rumors. But the lips in the modern photo are really different, so the evidence did not convince anyone.
On the one hand, the cheekbones have really become sharper. It may not have been possible without removing Bisha's lumps, but this is a minor surgical intervention. In addition, the lumps may shrink over time.
On the other hand, Anna began acting in films at the age of 17, when her facial features and figure were of a teenage nature. Only by the age of 25 can a person’s appearance be considered mature.
At the moment, the actress is over 30, so over the years in her appearance dramatic changes could occur without the intervention of a surgeon. Therefore, photographs of Anna Khilkevich before and after plastic surgery circulating on the Internet have no confirmation, but still give rise to gossip.
If appearance had any meaning for Princess Anne, she could easily hold the title of style icon for many years. At the age of 19, the Queen’s only daughter received the nickname “British Catherine Deneuve”; she was besieged by the editors-in-chief of glossy magazines with offers to become the heroine of their covers. But, alas, unlike the same Princess Diana, Anna chose other hobbies over fashion and self-PR (despite the fact that Anna began to engage in charitable activities long before Lady Di and did it no less effectively, just without unnecessary noise in the press). So, we can only admire her old photos and imagine what kind of competition she could give to Diana if she only wanted to.
Random shot: On December 28, 1965, 15-year-old Princess Anne was photographed at London airport. Together with her parents and brothers, Anna went skiing for the New Year holidays in Liechtenstein.
At 16 years old, Anna was little different from teenage girls like her: a little angular, a little plump, and she really wanted to look older than she actually was. She had sorted out her weight by the age of 20, completely and irrevocably (since then her clothing size has remained unchanged, as evidenced by her personal dressmaker, who sewed over 250 outfits for her throughout her life). And, apparently, after this photo, taken in honor of her 16th birthday, Anna finally realized that short hair and bangs were not for her. In addition, the 70s were approaching, and this also affected the princess’s style in the next decade.
Anna received the unofficial title of the main worker bee in the royal family at the age of 19. Historians have calculated that in the first two years after graduating from school, Anna attended over 500 official events as a “full-time working royal” (a term that is difficult to translate into Russian due to the fact that we simply do not have such a profession). It is noteworthy that even at 68, Anna does not lose shape - she still annually becomes the most active and active member of the royal family.
In April 1970, Anne, along with senior members of the family, went on a royal tour of the most distant former colonies of Great Britain. The young princess charmed the local audience. Including his fashion statements. How much was this hat with an elegant insect on it worth?
At the age of 20, Anne was already charming the Queen's African subjects. Around then, the princess began to be called “British Catherine Deneuve.” And there really was a similarity.
Long before Princess Diana, Princess Anne managed to be one of the darlings of British gloss. These photos were once taken for British Vogue.
Nobody pressed, everyone was always ready to help. Despite the fact that all the people around were strangers, you felt that they were paying attention to you, they asked you 5 times a day how you were doing and if you had any problems. In general, the atmosphere was very warm, and there was never a dull moment, because all the events were very well organized. There wasn’t even time to get homesick, because I was going here and there and I had to go to bed.
We were working on a project. It was difficult in the sense that children from America studied under the same program, and it was necessary to do no worse than them, because the program was the same. If something didn’t work out, the teachers who were responsible for preparing our project did everything possible - if the text was unclear, they typed it directly into the “translator”, sent you lesson plans, did everything possible to make sure everything worked out. Even children who had big problems with English still worked in a team. Not in the sense that someone does something for them. If you compare me with American children, I felt that I was doing a little worse. But, nevertheless, by the end of the program my level of English improved and I began to understand better. It all worked out well.
In the morning we had breakfast, then we went to classes, lunch, then classes in the afternoon. From 4 o'clock we started having various entertainments - up to mini-Olympic games, "Mister & Miss the USA" and going to the movies. You never get tired because every day there is something new. And so on until 10 o'clock. On the program, most of the guys were from Spain and Italy, Russia, a couple of guys from France, like that. Children with good English are already going there, children who already speak quite fluently. But there were also those who had difficulties. For example, there was a boy sitting with me, he was from Russia and his English was very bad. The first days he had the attitude “I don’t know anything, and I won’t do anything. Do everything for me." I helped him, I wrote to him. If we compare it with the last day, when assignments were given, he himself opened the “translator”, asked, translated himself, took something home. He just had a desire to do and understand something. This, it seems to me, is generally the most important thing.
The atmosphere of the university was felt. In general, the whole town is a student town, there are a lot of students. The very feeling of an old prestigious university was there, because, firstly, the architecture is very beautiful - it cannot be compared with our school, naturally.)) In terms of food and accommodation, everything was good.
Next year, I don’t know about Yale, maybe I should try something else. I think I will go to one of the programs. It was my first time in America. I really liked it. We went to Boston, where we didn’t have a cultural program as such, we mainly walked, looked, and shopped. The next day there was the Six Flags amusement park - this is also at a higher level of entertainment. But there are a lot of emotions. And the next weekend it was New York - we were taken to the theater and on excursions. Already more informative.
I had a desire to study in America, but here there are more such reasons - leaving my native country, family, friends. I don’t know which university I would choose, because I only went to Yale. I really liked it there. Therefore, if I consider something, it will be as an option.

Top ten! How Kasatkina joined Kournikova’s team
After the collapse of the USSR in the top 10 different years included 12 Russian tennis players. Can you name them all?
She became the first alternate at the WTA Final Championships in Singapore and made her debut in the top 10 before the start of the tournament. The debut before the Finals is explained by the fact that this week in the 52-week ranking all the points from last season are burned out - both for Singapore and for Zhuhai, where the second most important Finals tournament is taking place. The loss of points for Zhuhai by Julia Goerges knocked her out of the top ten and helped Kasatkina get into the top ten immediately after winning the VTB Kremlin Cup.
Daria became the 12th Russian tennis player to reach the top 10 in singles. But before we remember all the Russian women who were in the top ten, let’s look into the more distant past. The pioneer in the world top ten was Olga Morozova, which played on the world stage in the 60s and 70s. In 1965, 16-year-old Morozova won the junior Wimbledon, and in 1974 she became the first Soviet tennis player to win a title at an adult tournament. Grand Slam" - even though in doubles. Olga’s partner at the victorious Roland Garros was Chris Evert, who is 5.5 years younger than her. Evert was just beginning her journey to becoming a true tennis legend - and she did a double, easily beating Morozova in the singles final. A month later, Olga reached the final at Wimbledon, where she also lost to Chris. And when Morozova was 28 years old, in 1977, the USSR banned its athletes from competing with representatives of South Africa due to a protest against apartheid policies. There were quite a few players from South Africa in tennis at that time, and this resulted in an actual ban on participation in international competitions. On this international career Olga was completed.
By the way, Natalya Zvereva was also in the top 10, but she was still a native of Minsk and after the collapse of the USSR she played exclusively for Belarus. Zvereva became the fifth racket of the world in singles and was first in doubles for a long time.
Kournikova led the Russian team top 10
And the first star of Russian women’s tennis to gain worldwide fame, of course, is Anna Kournikova. She became the first Russian woman in the post-Soviet years to enter the top 10, and, one might say, led the team of Russian tennis players who made it into the top ten.
You can treat it differently, but there is no point in disputing its influence on the popularity of tennis, including in Russia. Yes, many joked about the fact that Kournikova never won a single WTA singles tournament, but she cannot be called a failure even in singles tennis. Anna reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon 1997 at the age of 16 and was in the finals four tournaments, including Miami 1998 and the Kremlin Cup 2000, and finished 2000 as the eighth racket in the world, having also played Final tournament. But the very next season, Kournikova, who was only 19 years old, suffered a stress fracture in her left foot and was forced to undergo surgery. Anna never returned close to her previous level and left tennis in the spring of 2003. By the way, as a pair she won two Grand Slam tournaments and was even the first racket of the world.
Myskina and the first Russian “Helmet”
She forever wrote her name in history as the first Russian woman to win a Grand Slam singles tournament. As a matter of fact, the final of Roland Garros 2004 became her only truly successful performance at a major - Myskina never made it past the quarterfinals at any other Slam. And in Paris that year, Anastasia did everything brilliantly. Having won back match points from Svetlana Kuznetsova in the 1/8 finals, after which Myskina confidently defeated Venus Williams, Jennifer Capriati and Elena Dementieva. She and Elena had been friends since childhood, which probably added psychological stress to both of them - but Anastasia coped with it much better. But the Olympics in Athens ended in the most offensive way for Myskina - in the semi-finals she lost to the magnificent Justine Henin-Hardenne with a score of 6:8 in the decisive set, in which she led with two breaks - 5:1! After this, Anastasia could not bring herself to fight for the bronze medal and lost to Alicia Molik.
Despite these defeats, in mid-September Myskina became the second racket of the world. At the end of the season, Anastasia defended her title at the Kremlin Cup and helped the Russian team win their first Fed Cup. But the very next year, the Russian woman suffered greatly for various reasons, including her mother’s health problems and her own injuries. Just three years after her triumph at Roland Garros, Myskina retired from tennis and soon became a mother.
Dementieva - Olympic conqueror
Dementieva never managed to win her Grand Slam tournament, although she came close to the goal several more times. In the same 2004, Elena reached the final at the US Open, losing to Svetlana Kuznetsova, and in 2009 she played in two semi-finals - in Melbourne and London. In both matches, Dementieva lost to Serena Williams, but if at the Australian Open American She gained the upper hand quite easily, but at Wimbledon Elena was one step away from victory - Serena won back a match point, successfully playing at the net for almost the first time in the match. But Dementieva collected two olympic medals. Of course, she is most proud of the Beijing 2008 gold, but the Sydney 2000 silver was also a valuable reward. By the way, Dementieva remains the only one in women’s singles Olympic champion From Russia. And Elena’s best position in the ranking was third place.
Sharapova is the only winner of the “Career Slam”
– the first Russian woman who managed to rise to the top of the single rating list. In the same 2004, 17-year-old Maria became the Wimbledon champion, after two difficult matches, confidently defeating Serena in the final. In part, that victory was Pyrrhic - Sharapova managed to beat Williams Jr. again at the Final Championship in the same 2004, and after that Serena never lost to her, and simply did not have a single bad match against her. Williams allowed herself to fail in fights with other tennis players, but not with Sharapova.
Nevertheless, Maria won all the other Grand Slam tournaments in subsequent years - the US Open in 2006, the Australian Open in 2008 and Roland Garros in 2012 (and then in 2014). Sharapova became the 10th tennis player in history to collect the Career Slam. Maria is in good company there: before her, this was achieved by, for example, Maureen Connolly (the first tennis player to win all four majors in one year), Margaret Court, Billie Jean King, Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf and Serena Williams. Sharapova also won a silver medal at the London Olympics, losing the final to Serena, who held one of best tournaments in a career.
The long-awaited Roland Garros by Kuznetsova
One more Russian champion Grand Slam singles tournaments - . All in the same 2004, she completed a series of triumphant performances by Russian women at majors, winning the Russian final of the US Open against Dementieva. At Roland Garros - 2006 and US Open - 2007, Svetlana was a finalist, in both cases losing to Justine Henin-Hardenne. Kuznetsova lost to her in Paris in 2005 - at the 1/8 final stage, but on match point, just like Myskina in 2004. As a result, Svetlana lost to the future Roland Garros champions on match points twice in a row, and then lost in the final.
It would probably be unfair if Kuznetsova never won in Paris. And in the end she won the title, taking revenge on Dinara Safina in the 2009 final for her defeat in the semi-finals in 2008. Before this, Svetlana managed to rise to second place, second only to the great Henin, and remained the second racket of the world for almost six months in 2007 and 2008.
Six months of Safina at the top
Although Safina failed to win the Slam, she became second after Sharapova and at the moment the last Russian woman to rise to the top of the singles rating list. She won 12 WTA singles titles, but failed to make it to major finals. In addition to three Grand Slam finals, Dinara also lost the 2008 Olympic final. Shortly before the final of Roland Garros 2009, Safina displaced Serena from the first line and spent 25 weeks in a row on it - this is more than Sharapova’s entire career (21 weeks). Also shorter leadership periods, for example, Kim Clijsters, Jennifer Capriati and Venus Williams. Alas, in 2010, Dinara developed back problems, which ultimately turned out to be more serious than initially expected, and in 2011 she had to leave the sport.
Two Slam finals in a row and Zvonareva’s bronze medal
I was also one step away from big victories- in 2010, she played in two consecutive Grand Slam finals, at Wimbledon and the US Open. In the decisive matches, the Russian lost to Serena Williams and Kim Clijsters, respectively. But together with others good results these finals allowed Vera to rise to second place in the fall of the same year. Zvonareva’s credits also include: bronze medal Beijing 2008, two semi-finals at the Australian Open and 12 titles at WTA tournaments. Vera won her biggest title at Indian Wells 2009, defeating Ana Ivanovic on a very windy final day.
Petrova's first success in Paris
For several years she performed consistently at high level and was in the top 10 or near the top 10. She achieved her greatest ranking heights in 2006, when she spent several weeks as the third racket in the world and did not leave the top 10 throughout the season. And for the first time, Nadezhda “shot” three years earlier, at Roland Garros - 2003. In the 1/8 finals, she sensationally beat Jennifer Capriati, and in the 1/8 finals match next to the bracket, she inflicted an even more unexpected defeat on Venus Williams.
Thus, two Russian women met each other in the quarterfinals, and then it was a big event: the largest sports media recalled all the Slam semi-finals with the participation of Russian tennis players, which could be counted on the fingers of two hands. The Derby went to Petrova, who lost to Kim Clijsters in the semifinals. Two years later, she again reached the semi-finals of Roland Garros, and this time she was stopped by Justine Henin-Hardenne. But by that time, the fans had already been spoiled by three Russian Helmet titles in a row, and this result did not cause such a resonance. Petrova retired from tennis in 2014, almost immediately after the death of her mother.
Super season Chakvetadze
In your best year– 2007 – broke into the top 5. The Russian woman won four titles at WTA tournaments and reached at least the quarterfinals at three of the four Slams. In Australia and Paris at this stage she lost to Maria Sharapova, and at the US Open she became a semi-finalist and lost to Svetlana Kuznetsova. Without defending her title at the Kremlin Cup, Chakvetadze finished the season sixth in the world and played at the Final Championship for the only time in her career, where she reached the semi-finals.
But during the tennis off-season, an armed attack was carried out on Chakvetadze’s house, and the tennis player spent several hours tied up. In addition to psychological shock, this also affected physical condition Anna, and, in addition, actually did not allow me to train in the off-season. As a result, the Russian woman started the season without proper preparation. In the summer, Anna decided to refuse to participate in the Olympics in Beijing, for which she qualified according to the rating. She explained this precisely by the fact that she did not feel well prepared after such an off-season.
Alas, then Chakvetadze began to be plagued by injuries, and in 2011 she fainted several times during matches. Various studies have revealed various reasons: infection, neurocardiogenic syncope, inflammation of the inner ear. After a series of fainting spells, Anna suffered further injuries and eventually retired from tennis due to back problems.
Kirilenko's month in the top ten
She stayed in the top 10 for only a month - from the end of Roland Garros to the end of Wimbledon in 2013. Having made it to the top ten, the Russian woman had two Slam quarterfinals to her credit - precisely at these tournaments. Only on Open Championship In France she reached the quarter finals in 2013, and in London in 2012. Kirilenko failed to defend her points at Wimbledon and left the top ten. And the next season was her last. Maria spent her last match in Beijing, got married in January 2015, and became a mother in July of the same year. Now Kirilenko already has two children. At the same time, Maria did not officially announce her retirement from her career.
Makarova is strong not only in pairs
She was in the top ten in 2015, when her ranking included the quarterfinals of Wimbledon 2014, the semifinals of the US Open of the same year and the semifinals of the Australian Open 2015. Makarova then became the eighth racket in the world, but left the top ten after an unsuccessful performance in London. Ekaterina also did not defend her points in New York and ended up finishing the season outside the top 20. Makarova has not returned to the top ten since then, but she has achieved enormous success in tandem with Elena Vesnina. Russians won the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, the Final Championship, three Grand Slam tournaments and became the first rackets in the world, repeating the achievement of Anna Kournikova. Vesnina, by the way, did not reach the top 10 in the singles rankings - in 2017 she was the 13th racket in the world.
The beginning of Kasatkina’s long journey
If all the other tennis players on this list are at least 30 years old, and most of them have completed their careers, then Daria Kasatkina’s path in world tennis is just beginning. This season was a breakthrough for Daria, who turned 21 in May. She played in the finals of major tournaments in Dubai and Indian Wells, and was in the quarterfinals of two Slams - Roland Garros and Wimbledon. In the second half of the season, after the grass Grand Slam tournament, Kasatkina did not perform very well and missed the chance to score enough points to make her debut at the WTA Final Championships in Singapore. However, in the last week regular season she won the Kremlin Cup and debuted in the top 10, and at the same time received the status of the first reserve at the Final (since Simona Halep refused to compete, and the ninth tennis player in the championship race, Kiki Bertens, became a direct participant in the tournament). But let’s hope that next season Daria will be able to play at the Final Championship.
