Tatiana Lavrentieva

Tatiana was born on the 13th of December 1956 in Taganrog, (The Azov Sea), Russia into a family of performers and the home town of Chekhov and F. Ranevskaya. At the age of 18 Tatiana left her homeland for the Moscow Capital, to pursue her career in acting. With nothing but Stanislavsky's words in her mind 'Have faith in all'. Tatiana managed to win her place at one of the most credited Moscow Theatrical Academy's of Performing Arts - RATI, obtaining a Masters Red Diploma in Professional Acting for Film, TV and Theatre. She then went on to work in Mosfilm Motion Pictures, the largest and oldest film studio in Russia and Europe as well as working in Georgia at the famous Russian-Georgian Culture Drama Theatre - Griboyedov. Tatiana successfully established her name within the Russian Film Industry, from 1980-1992, completing 10 Feature Films, 12 TV Dramas, 15 Theatre productions (including classical, modern dramas, comedies and musicals). She then went onto write her first movie script, 'In The Shadow of Thy Wings Cover Me', a sensational story of love, loss and misfortune, that had won 1st prize at the international Aids Convention. Ironically the success came with an unexpected betrayal and fall in Tatiana's career that had discouraged her and had prompted her move to London in 1992 to continue her acting career in the UK. More recently Tatiana had appeared in many cameo/character roles in various UK Film and TV productions and has worked with the likes of David Cronenberg, Marc Foster, Mike Leigh and Otto Bathurst.
