Childhood and youth
Anna was born in August 1983 in Kazakhstan. Here, in Almaty, the actress spent her childhood and youth. Zdor has no Kazakh roots. My parents came to the country because my father, an aviation colonel, was sent to serve here during Soviet times. Anya’s dad is a military pilot, and her mother is a teacher.
From an early age, Zdor treated animals with awe and love. Not a single yard cat was deprived of the girl's attention. She dreamed that she would certainly study to become a veterinarian and devote her life to animals. The house was littered with literature about fauna. Anna was seriously preparing for her future profession.
The father was able to convince his daughter to turn her attention in a different direction. The man saw that Anna was a very artistic girl. At some point, the daughter realized that dad was right and started thinking about the theater stage. Mom and older sister supported the decision to become an artist, which Zdor finally matured in high school.
After receiving the certificate, the girl went to Moscow and entered GITIS on the first try. Anna was accepted into Leonid Kheifetz's course. I studied healthy with passion.
Childhood of the future actress
Anna Zdor was born on August 25, 1983 into a military family in the city of Alma-Ata.
Her birth was very welcome: Anna’s mother has very high blood pressure, and therefore pregnancy could result in death for her and her unborn child. Fortunately, everything worked out fine.
Little Anya, by her own admission, loved animals so much that after school she wanted to become a paramedic and enter veterinary school. She changed her wish after her father told her about a friend who lost her private animal clinic as a result of racketeering. And then the girl had a second dream - to become an actress.
Having barely graduated from school, without special preparation, Anna went to Moscow to enroll in GITIS. And she did it right away, as if by magic.
Movies
In her last year, the student went to the capital’s theaters in search of a future job. What Anna liked most was the legendary Satyricon. Unfortunately, there were no empty seats in the troupe. But in her senior year, fate presented the future star with an incredible gift: one of the Satyricon actresses went on maternity leave. Zdor took the vacant seat.
Soon Konstantin Raikin began to trust the aspiring artist with important roles in performances. Anna Zdor appeared in the productions “Country of Love”, “The Fool” and “The Lonely West”.
A cinematic biography of Anna began in 2006. The aspiring actress was entrusted with a small role in the series “KostyaNika. Summer time". The debut was considered successful, and the girl began a confident climb up the career ladder.
The following year, the actress was offered her first leading role in a top-rated series called “Vorozheya.” It is noteworthy that Anna had to appear in public for the first time in a comedic role, which the girl did well. White magic consultants were present during the filming. They made sure that Zdor performed rituals and brewed potions correctly.
Anna Zdor and Oscar Kuchera in the series “The Man in Me”
Spectators and film critics warmly welcomed the appearance of Anna Zdor on the screen. Of average height (170 cm), the thin actress easily “merged” with her role and demonstrated considerable skill. It is not surprising that 2 years after her first appearance on the screen, in 2008, Zdor appeared in several new projects at once. These were the melodramas “Thank you for everything,” “Cop in Law,” and “One Night of Love.” The latest project is a 60-episode historical series that received fairly high ratings.
The tracing paper from the American TV series “My Wife Bewitched Me” was called “My Favorite Witch” in Russia. Anna played the main role here. There are many scenes with animals in the film; the worst thing for the actress seemed to be working with monkeys: “they have character, they are harmful.” The tape became the first sitcom of the TV3 channel.
In 2010, the actress played a minor role in the crime action film Escape, a Russian adaptation of the American series of the same name.
In 2012, the series was continued, and Anna returned to her role from the first season of Escape. Nevertheless, the series received negative reviews, with critics noting that the Russian actors failed to create colorful characters comparable to the original ones.
The starring role went to the charming actress in the comedy series called “The Man in Me.” Anna Zdor shone in this film in a duet with Oscar Kucera. While working on the film, there were funny moments: I had to give a cameo role to a cat that was constantly getting into the frame, and I had to feed a dog that was barking in a neighboring summer cottage.
Anna Zdor in the series "Red Queen"
In 2014, Zdor received another bright leading role. The actress played Lyubov Alexandrova in the melodrama “Love and Romance.” Alexander Konstantinov became Anna's partner.
The actress played a minor role as Prokhorina in the series “Nerds” about the guys who ended up in the special company “Cyber Troops” and must defend the borders of Russia, but not in a geographical sense, but on the Internet.
Anna became Valya Yudina's fashion model in the melodrama “The Red Queen”. The film is based on the biography of the famous Soviet model Regina Zbarskaya, who won the admiration of Christian Dior, Pierre Cardin and Federico Fellini. Foreigners called the beauty the most effective weapon of the Kremlin, and she was known both in Europe and in the USA.
In March 2021, the actress’s filmography was supplemented by the two-part melodrama “Parisian Woman,” where Anna and Alexander Nikitin became a pair of lovers. The film was shot in Moscow, and Paris was made using computer graphics. “This is a story about the need to remain human and support friends – not out of self-interest, but out of human desire,” shared director Alexey Smirnov.
“In my opinion, this is a story about a struggle with fate,” Zdor said after filming the action-packed drama “My Alien Daughter,” where she played the leading role. The actress believes that every viewer will find something for themselves in the series.
In the melodrama “Children of the Wind,” the film crew got acquainted with the sights of the Novgorod region. Local residents took part in the crowd, the youngest of them was 1 month old. Anna embodied the image of a French teacher forced to become a surrogate mother. The film premiered in September 2020.
Hello AnnaCinema / Actors

Anna Zdor was born in 1983, on August 25 . As a child, Anna wanted to become a veterinarian, but at some stage in her life she realized that she wanted something completely different. This decision was influenced by the opinion of her father, who was against a career as a veterinarian. Creativity, self-expression, universal recognition - this is the path of Anna Zdor. Despite the fact that Anna’s father was a military man and her mother was a teacher, the future actress knew that she wanted something completely different from life.
Anna's older sister advised her to enter GATI. Anna followed her sister's advice and entered the school the first time. She graduated from this educational institution in 2004. Since 2004, Anna Zdor became famous as an actress in a theater called “Satyricon”. She was accepted into the troupe of this theater not only thanks to her creative abilities, but also by a lucky coincidence - one of the young actresses who played in the troupe became pregnant and could no longer play in the theater.
The actress's career developed rapidly , and 2006 was marked by the year she began filming. This year, Zdor played the main role in a film called “KostyaNika. Summer time". The genre of the film is melodrama. A year later, another leading role followed in the film “Vorozheya”. In this film, Anna appeared before the audience in the image of a witch, which she played perfectly.
Then in 2008, the actress began appearing on the TV-3 channel . In her first sitcom called “My Favorite Witch,” she played one of the important roles. Despite the fact that before this Zdor played mainly in melodramas, she also showed herself one hundred percent in comedy. In this sitcom, Anna played the role of a gentle beauty, a musical worker at a kindergarten. However, in this film, the image of the witch did not leave the actress. Anna Zdor was often asked how she managed to play the image of a witch so well, whether she was scared, how she felt in this role. The actress replied that she was very comfortable playing this character, that in real life she wouldn’t mind having supernatural powers and even becoming a real witch. Creative abilities with unfulfilled desires yielded good results.
In 2011, Anna played the main role in the series “The Man in Me” . And in this series there was a meeting with the supernatural. According to the plot, she has a hard time enduring the betrayal of her beloved husband, as a result of which she discovers a new essence in herself - a man. This entity gives Anna advice on how to act in a given situation. The man living in the main character leads her to a happy ending.
Anna Zdor is a famous and beloved actress . Actors are often asked questions about whether they are happy and how their personal life is going, because playing on stage involves abandoning some rules, completely immersing yourself in the role and sometimes abstracting from your personal life and everything around you. We can assume with almost one hundred percent certainty that Anna is happy, and that this does not bother her at all. After all, she found the most important thing in life - herself.
The life of an actor is life in two parallel dimensions, two lives instead of one. And the first life, which takes place on stage, is the most important, it has no time frame, while the second often serves simply as an addition to the first. No matter how sad it may sound, this is exactly what happens with talented actors. Therefore, they try to carefully hide their personal life from others; there is simply no time left for it. We should give them their due, because a creative person will die without universal recognition.
Talented people are born, not made. Regardless of what family a person grew up in, if he has a talent for something, he should develop it and try to reach heights. Thus, by realizing himself, he contributes to the world fund of art, culture and true creativity. The same thing happened with Anna Zdor, who went beyond the possible and showed herself one hundred percent. Today, viewers know Anna as a talented actress who will give them many more interesting roles.
Personal life
The actress has two unsuccessful marriages. The first is with actor and musician Oleg Ponimatko. The family fell apart after the actress’s fatal meeting with the women’s favorite and heartthrob Alexei Barabash. The artist starred with Anna Zdor in the comedy film “The Man in Me.” At that time, both were legally married, and Barabash was married for the third time, and he had a little son growing up.
At first, according to Anna, she didn’t like the man at all, but he actively began courting her and ensured that Zdor left the family. The actress told her beloved that happiness cannot be built on someone else’s misfortune. But Alexey diligently convinced that the presence of ex-wives and children in his life was not a reason to put a stigma on him. And the young woman made up her mind.
They got married. The marriage began to crack at the seams immediately after the birth of their daughter Varvara. Anna unexpectedly discovered correspondence with his ex-(third) wife Julia on her husband’s tablet. As it turned out, Alexey and Yulia were dating. Zdor did not want to put up with this state of affairs and filed for divorce.

Anna Zdor and her daughter Varvara
The couple’s separation went like in a novel. Alexey wrote a letter to Anna, where he tried to justify himself. There he explained that he was not yet ready to date his daughter and should remain alone so as not to “hurt anyone else.” As a result, the man returned to his previous family. As Zdor said in one of her interviews, dad didn’t come to Varya’s baptism and first birthday.
During the first years, Anna and her baby survived as best she could. The actress was on maternity leave, and Barabash did not seek to help financially. Her parents took part in the life of the young woman.
In 2021, the actress shared with the magazine “Caravan of Stories” that a revolution was taking place in her personal life. Beloved Zdor, who is not related to the world of cinema, became friends with her daughter. “I try not to let new relationships take their course. I’m working on them,” Anna noted.
In the account that the actress now maintains on Instagram, personal and work photos regularly appear.

After seeing her mother in “The Red Queen,” the actress’s three-year-old daughter enrolled in a school for young models
In the series “The Red Queen,” which is ending its run on Channel One, 32-year-old Anna ZDOR played a real historical figure - the Soviet fashion model Valentina YASHINA, a woman of tragic fate. However, the actress herself also has enough troubles in her life: for three years now she has been unable to obtain alimony for the maintenance of her daughter from her ex-husband Alexei BARABASH. (Not so long ago we saw him in the role of Valery OBODZINSKY in the TV series “These Eyes Opposite”.)
“It was very interesting for me to work at the Red Queen,” Anna Zdor began the story. — Filming took place in Minsk, Samarkand and Moscow. And we filmed Paris in stunningly beautiful Lviv. My heroine Valentina Yashina is a real person. She had an identical figure to Valentina Tereshkova. So, according to Yashina, they sewed outfits for the first female cosmonaut. Having completed her bright career as a fashion model, by the end of her life, although she had an adult son and grandson, she remained of no use to anyone. And she died completely alone in the cold dacha where she lived for the last six years.
— How did you prepare for the role?
— We were taught to walk on the catwalk correctly. Moreover, they developed a gait not like that of modern fashion models - sharp and aggressive, but the way they walked in the 50s and 60s - smoothly and softly. Model Regina Zbarskaya , the prototype of the main character of the film, introduced the “foot-to-foot” gait into fashion. She had crooked legs, and to hide this defect, she came up with such an unusual solution. At home, returning from filming, I trained every evening so that everything was in my legs - both turns and correct body positioning. My daughter Varvara, she was two years old then and now three and a half, began to repeat everything after me. It got to the point that Varya asked to enroll her in a school for small models, where she now enjoys going. She is my beauty, now she struts dashingly along the catwalk, wearing my heels.

- What a developed girl!
“I call my daughter “my little indigo.” She started speaking at just over a year old. Probably, acting genes are doing their job.
— There were rumors that you do not communicate with Varvara’s dad, actor Alexei Barabash, your ex-husband?
- This is true. He hasn’t seen his daughter for two years, he probably doesn’t need to. I don’t know the reason why he doesn’t participate in the child’s life and doesn’t help her financially. He also has children, but as a mother, I find it difficult to understand this behavior. I don’t say anything bad about my father to my daughter: why turn her against her dad? When she grows up, let her choose whether she wants to communicate with him or not.
— And if you were offered to star in one project with Alexey, would you agree?
- Yes. I can leave personal hostility behind the scenes.
— After the divorce, did you find new happiness?
- No, I haven’t met my love yet, but I’m really looking forward to it.

hereditary witch. her great-great-great-grandmother is the real Baba Yaga. Among witches, unprincipled, selfish, cruel creatures, Nadya is a “black sheep.” She sincerely believes in goodness. Like all real witches, Nadya graduated from the High School of Witches. Typically, graduates of this school use their magic exclusively for selfish purposes. After graduating from school, wide prospects open up for witches. They can make a career in show business or politics. They open their own private enterprises “for the evil eye, damage and divination” (“elite potion”, for VIPs). They fall in love with oligarchs and become heirs to their fortunes. In short, they live happily and for their own pleasure. At first, our heroine also tried to become a real witch. After graduating from the High School of Witches, she worked for some time on television and in show business (even recorded one “pop” song). The young witch’s personal life developed as follows: Nadya fell in love with a Russian hockey star, a handsome man with the appearance of a hero from Russian fairy tales - Pavel Pure, nicknamed “Russian Torpedo”. Nadya's mother helped her daughter and bewitched the ice playboy. The relationship between Nadya and Pavel was heading towards a wedding, but suddenly - unexpectedly for herself, Nadya became disillusioned with the famous hockey player - they turned out to be completely different people. The only thing Pavel was interested in and what he constantly talked about was hockey, watches and his grandfather’s company for their production. Realizing that their relationship would not lead to anything good, Nadya gave Pure a “lapel” and erased from his memory everything that was connected with her. After this, she returned to Witch High School, where she began teaching in the lower grades. One day, while reading a fairy tale to her charges, the witch Nadya suddenly realized what she was missing in life - true love. But true love only happens with the betrothed. Nadya's betrothed turned out to be Ivan Stoletov. Now Nadya works at home and gives piano lessons. Moreover, not only children, but also adults come to study with her. In the human world, Nadya tries to cast less spells, but sometimes, when faced with some serious problem, she can easily use her magic. Seeing some kind of injustice being committed and flaring up, she can use her magical abilities (usually such an act of hers leads to funny situations that her husband, Ivan, has to solve). Nadya's main problem is that when she starts to cast spells, she often goes too far, casting spells inappropriately. Nadya is not an omnipotent wizard. Her witchcraft is quite limited due to her youth and inexperience. This is precisely what prevents our heroine from solving the problems of all people at once with the help of her magic. Sometimes Nadya, secretly from Ivan, tries to help him with her witchcraft, but in most cases this help turns into trouble.
