Childhood and youth
Alla Yuganova was born on January 19, 1982 in Moscow. Sister Svetlana grew up next to Alla. The celebrity's family is not connected to the world of cinema. But thanks to her mother, a music teacher by training, who sometimes participated in crowd scenes, the girl began to develop an early desire for the acting profession. Yuganova was considered a diligent student and devoted a lot of time to the Obraz theater studio. The desire to explore the world of art set her apart from other children.
At a tender age, Alla was embarrassed by her red hair and freckles and did not like herself. The young performer liked to try on the guise of Baba Yaga; she never dreamed of attractive characters. But one day the actress playing the Snow Maiden fell ill, and Yuganova was entrusted with the role. Upon entering the stage, the girl clearly heard the admiring voices of the boys. Since then, she carefully monitored her wardrobe, even receiving the nickname Barbie.

Alla Yuganova in childhood
After graduating from the 10th grade, Alla tried to pass the entrance exams to a theater university. She passed the selection without difficulty, getting into Vitaly Ivanov’s course at the Shchepkinsky School. Yuganova was still at school and became not a student, but a volunteer. This state of affairs did not suit the purposeful beauty, and she decided to take school exams as an external student. Within six months, Alla Yuganova began studying as a student, and after starting her studies, she transferred to the workshop of Rimma Gavrilovna Solntseva.
Alla turned out to be the youngest on the course, and besides, she had a fragile build, and the teachers assigned the young student the roles of typical heroines. Nevertheless, Yuganova in the future will change the first impression of her personality, become famous, and characters in films of different genres will prove that some teachers were wrong.
Theater
The artist’s debut took place already in her 2nd year at the Maly Academic Theater. Yuganova played the role of Squirrel in the production of “The Tale of Tsar Saltan,” and later Alla got the main role of Gerda in the play “The Snow Queen.”
By the end of the 2nd year of college, the student was already a full-fledged actress of Lenkom. Yuganova agreed to proposals from other cultural institutions. The performance of the Theater of Music and Poetry by Elena Kamburova, “A Novel in Letters,” was a success with the audience. Another group to which Alla was invited was “Quartet I”. In addition, the actress achieved success in the Theater of Nations productions “Novel Without Directions” and “The Glass Menagerie”.

Alla Yuganova and Dmitry Pevtsov
Alla Yuganova’s path into the acting profession can hardly be called difficult. According to the performer, she ended up in Lenkom by chance, but after much thought, Mark Zakharov approved Yuganova for the role of Conchita in the play Juno and Avos. Alla was lucky enough to appear on the same stage with Viktor Rakov and Dmitry Pevtsov.
Alla Sergeevna was surprised by this development of events, because her short height (165 cm) would hardly have contributed to the prospect of getting a role in the famous production. The performance turned out to be a real breakthrough in the artist’s creative biography. After this, Yuganova reincarnated as Nina Zarechnaya in the play “The Seagull”. In Anton Chekhov's immortal play, Alla played together with Oleg Yankovsky and Inna Churikova.
In an interview, Yuganova shared that after the death of the artistic director and chief director, Lenkom had a hard time. The troupe was accustomed to Zakharov having the last word. The loss of Mark Anatolyevich was acutely felt by all colleagues.
The first films of Alla Yuganova
When the actress was a third-year student, she received an invitation to film the film “Balalayka,” directed by Ali Ozgunturga, a Turkish director. She played the main role in the film.
Films and TV series made actress Alla Yuganova popular
Lenkom immediately took the certified actress into his troupe. He always seemed out of reach to Alla; she would have been happy to play as an extra in the production of “Juno and Avos,” but she was immediately given the role of Conchita. It seemed incredible. And soon the actress played Nina Zarechnaya in the famous “The Seagull”. This was followed by acting in the plays “Two Women”, “All-In”, “Jester Balakirev” and others.
Despite the fact that Alla considered Lenkom to be her main “hobby,” she still sometimes played in other theaters. These were the Kamburova Theater, where she participated in the production of “Novel in Letters”, the Theater of Nations, where Yuganova showed an excellent performance in the play “Novel without Directions”, at the Entreprise Theater the actress was given a role in “Dreams of an Idiot” and in the “Quartet I” Theater , where Alla took part in the play “Manifestations of Love.”
Despite the fact that her debut role in the film “Balalayka” was played successfully, Alla did not consider it serious work. She spoke differently about filming the series “Sibirochka”. Initially, the main character of the film, according to the script, was thirteen years old, so the actress doubted that she could play a girl of such a young age. However, director Grammatikov wanted Yuganova to play, for this he “aged” his heroine, making her a seventeen-year-old girl. This touching and entertaining story became the second debut film, where Alla Yuganova played one of the main roles.
Movies
The career of the young actress was not limited to one theater. As a 3rd year student, Alla received an invitation from Turkish director Ali Ozgenturk to appear in the film Balalayka. The film, dedicated to the mother of famous local comedian Kemal Sunal, was a success. The performer was also going to take part in the project, but on the way to the set he died on the plane from a heart attack.
Yuganova noted that she considers the television series “Sibirochka” to be her first serious work. Initially, the artist was supposed to play a 13-year-old heroine, but for the sake of Alla’s participation in the melodrama, the director compromised and “aged” Sashenka Gordova to 17 years old. The filming was memorable for the stunts with leopards, which the aspiring star, due to inexperience, decided to perform without a stunt double. The unfortunate shot, in which Alla almost dropped the burning hoop and scared the predator, turned out to be the most striking and was included in the feed.

Actress Alla Yuganova
After her debut roles, the actress received offers to participate in other productions and films. The characters that Alla Yuganova embodied on the screen are very diverse. After the femme fatale in the film “Gemini,” directors began vying with each other to offer her the role of pretty beauties.
In the project “Tariff for Love,” Yuganova embodied the image of the beloved of the main character of the story, Vlad (Sergei Gorobchenko). According to the script, Alla had to save the drowning chosen one. The artist, who could not swim, had to practice in the pool. But during a dangerous episode, Alla Yuganova herself almost went under water. The scene was finally filmed, although the performer had to be rescued.
In 2015, with the participation of Yuganova, the detective story “Murder for Three” was released. Viewers remembered the film, among other things, thanks to actresses Yulia Takshina and Ekaterina Kopanova, who, together with Alla, perfectly conveyed the characters of the key characters on the screen. Since the series was warmly received by the public, a series of films soon appeared, which included the films “Marathon for the Three Graces”, “Chasing Three Hares” and others. New works were published within 2 years.
Alla Yuganova in the film “Don’t Tell Me About Him”
2016 turned out to be productive for Yuganova in creative terms. Among the projects, fans highlighted the full-length film “Don’t Tell Me About Him,” where Alla embodied the central image of Lyuba Filatova. Fans appreciated the light plot, unencumbered by tragic events and a detective line.
An interesting project in the artist’s filmography was the thriller “The Watchman.” The actress’s partners on the set were Yuri Bykov and Vladislav Abashin. The workspace was located on the territory of the Sosnovy Bor sanatorium near Ryazan.
In 2021, the premiere of the detective series “Spasskaya” took place. Although Yuganova worked in the background, the performer had the opportunity to work in the sunny southern cities of Adler and Sochi. Critics noted the quality of the storylines, but criticized the authors for technical errors.

Music
The celebrity is the lead singer of a group called “Devushkin Dream”. The actress noted that musical performances, unlike theatrical performances, take place without the notorious “fourth wall.” According to Yuganova, working with music allows you to receive additional energy for creativity, develop and fill your life with new impressions.
Alla was recommended to composer and programmer Andrei Chertishchev by friends after they saw the artist on stage. Yuganova responded to Chetishchev’s proposal because she accepted it as recognition of her talent. With an updated composition, the team, which included Yuganova, released 2 albums: “Fast Dreams” and “Alien”. The tracks are presented on YouTube and other sites on the Internet.

The group plays in the style of trip-hop. Sometimes fans classify the tunes of “Girl’s Dream” as belonging to the ethereal-darkwave genre, which is characterized by romantic or otherworldly samples. Critics often call the band's music "unreal rock", which gradually acquired other features thanks to the use of classical instruments.
For a long time, Alla argued that singing is just a hobby, because the singer has no special education. In an interview, Yuganova explained that the public likes the concerts, and the result of the work indicates the sympathy of the audience, since fans are constantly asking to present new compositions. For a long time, the team members could not get together, but thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the opportunity arose to record a new disc.
Personal life
There was an official marriage in Yuganova’s life. The only thing the public knows about the star’s ex-wife is that the man is not connected with the world of cinema. The union lasted 2 years.
In May 2012, Alla gave birth to a daughter, who was named Anna. The media have repeatedly reported that the girl’s father is actor Pavel Kuzmin. Yuganova is sensitive to her reputation, so she avoids the appearance in the press of her explicit photographs, including those in a swimsuit. In response to the publication “The Sinful Passions of Dostoevsky,” which at one time appeared in the publication “Life,” where the artist’s personal life was described as unstable, Alla filed a lawsuit.

Alla Yuganova and her daughter
Daughter Anna Kuzmina enjoys going to work with her mother. Together, the relatives posed for costume photos in the “Big Laundry” project. After this, Anya asked to enroll her in a theater studio.
Yuganova has a warm relationship with her family. With her daughter, mother and other loved ones, the artist hid from the coronavirus at her sister’s dacha. In addition, during the period of isolation, Alla and Anya acquired a new hobby - road trips around Russia.
Whether there is a new chosen one or even a legal husband in Yuganova’s heart is unknown. Now Alla tries to devote all her free time to her daughter and art.
Alla Yuganova at present
In May 2012, the actress gave birth to a daughter, Anna. Alla does not name the father of the child. Her personal life remains a complete mystery.
In an interview, when asked what qualities are the most important for her in a man, she answered that it was a sense of humor, the ability to be ironic, the ability to be a support for the family and the ability to perform actions.
Comparing work in the theater and work in cinema, Yuganova gives preference to the theater. It is there that she can be left one on one with the viewer, but cinema largely depends on the director, which particular take will end up in the film.
You won’t find Alla cooking in the kitchen. She has too little time for this. But, in her opinion, she succeeds in making pancakes, but the actress cooks something more complex together with her mother.
Alla has a pet - a basset hound named Santa. This is an extremely independent animal. When Yuganova lived in a five-story building, Santa went for a walk on her own, and after walking, she barked under the windows so that she would be allowed home. In addition, she has a talent - she can sing. Often Alla and Santa sing a duet, surprising their friends.
Alla Yuganova now
The actress is immersed in creativity. During the days of quarantine, Yuganova, together with the group “Devushkin Dream”, fulfilled a long-time dream of fans. In January 2021, a concert took place in support of the new album “My Baikonur”. Alla appeared before the audience in a fake space suit. By the way, in new interviews, the vocalist noted that what is missing in musical performances is a theatrical stage with good sound and lighting.
Alla Yuganova and the group “Devushkin Dream” - “My Baikonur”
Yuganova compensates for her need for acting by acting in films and TV series. But the artist does not forget about Lenkom. In 2021, Alla appeared on stage in the company of such stars as Alexander Zbruev and Olesya Zheleznyak. The production of “All-In” is the work of the late artistic director, whose memory the troupe reverently honors.
Personal life of Alla Yuganova
Alla writes songs and performs them in the group “Devushkin Dream”. She likes the freedom in this work, they don’t have producers, and the girls decide for themselves what and when to perform. It’s difficult to say what the direction of their group is; on the radio they were called “non-format”. The actress considers this work to be the most lively, even in comparison with work in the theater. Free time is filled with performances and rehearsals in the studio.
Personal life: Alla Yuganova gave birth to a daughter, but hides the name of the child’s father
When Alla is at home, she doesn’t mind watching some good old movie in the evening, reading a book, or just taking a walk around the city.
She considers good sleep and delicious food to be the recipe for beauty. According to her, after sleeping and eating, she always looks fresh, but, according to Yuganova, a person becomes especially beautiful when he is overwhelmed with energy.
Yuganova was married, but two years later she and her husband separated. It is known that he had nothing to do with the acting environment.
