Aglaya Tarasova, actress. Biography

Aglaya Tarasova was born in 1994 in the family of actress Ksenia Rappoport and entrepreneur Viktor Tarasov. Shortly after her birth, the parents of the future movie star broke up. The girl's mother was responsible for her upbringing, but her father also kept in touch with her. In 2011, Aglaya had a younger sister, Sofia, and her father was actor Yuri Kolokolnikov.

At birth, the actress received the double name Daria-Aglaya. As Tarasova admitted in an interview, she was shy about it for a long time and asked to be called Daria. However, by the age of 16, she had "outgrown" her teenage embarrassment and left Aglaya as her main name and creative pseudonym.

Since childhood, Tarasova has been surrounded by a creative atmosphere. She went to music school, studied foreign languages and was fond of chess. The mother often took the girl to shoot — young Aglaya was on the sets of such films as "The White Guard", "The Man who Loves" and others. In 2008, she visited the Venice Festival, where Ksenia Rappoport worked as a presenter.
