Oksana Akinshina young Russian film actresses

Oksana Aleksandrovna Akinshina is one of the young Russian film actresses. She was born on April 19, 1987 in St. Petersburg in a simple family that has nothing to do with cinema. Her father is a car mechanic.

Oksana Akinshina got into the cinema by accident. This happened thanks to Sergei Bodrov Jr., who was looking for actresses for his own film “Sisters”. Three hundred girls came to the casting every day, and Bodrov talked to each of them personally so as not to miss what he needed. The director liked Oksana, he saw in her the very young talent that he had been looking for for so long. The young actress coped with the role of Sveta perfectly. She starred with Katya Gorina.

A year later, the actress was involved in another equally interesting project: she was offered to star in the film “South”.
