Paulina Andreeva in childhood
After graduating from school, Andreeva entered the university to study journalism, but quickly felt disappointed in her future profession. In her 2nd year she went to Moscow.
Moving to an unfamiliar metropolis and independence far from her parents’ home attracted Paulina. At that time, it didn’t even matter to her which institute she entered: the Moscow Art Theater School was considered as an ideal option, but she was counting on the Shchepkin School as a maximum. As a result, Andreeva auditioned for both, but ended up in the first, where she was enrolled in the course of Roman Kozak and Dmitry Brusnikin.

Actress's father and brothers
The girl entered St. Petersburg State University at the Faculty of Journalism, but completed only two courses. She worked for an architectural publication, where she wrote reports from construction sites. At the age of 20, the girl dropped out of university and decided to try herself in acting. She moved to the capital, and the family remained in St. Petersburg.
Paulina was selected for the school at the Moscow Academic Art Theater. Her teacher was Roman Efimovich Kozak. Later she entered the screenwriting department at the Industry School of Film and Television. The center is led by Fyodor Bondarchuk, Mikhail Vrubel and Alexander Andryushchenko.
On the theater stage
The actress plays in the Moscow Art Theater troupe. Her first role was Crybaby in Kirill Serebrennikov’s play “Near Zero”. “An actor needs the theater. Cinema tends to begin and end; it is a fickle substance. The theater attracts different audiences, people want to get into it,” says the actress.
Film career
The girl made her screen debut in 2013 in the drama “Locust”. It reveals the problem of consumption, the pursuit of pleasure. There are many explicit scenes in the film. The main male role was played by Pyotr Fedorov. Andreeva played the bohemian beauty Lera, who is only interested in money in life. In the same year, she was entrusted with the image of the pop artist Dina in the multi-part film “The Thaw”. It tells the story of VGIK students who are making a film based on the script of a deceased comrade.
Paulina sang a song by Konstantin Meladze, which he wrote specifically for the project. The actress graduated from vocal courses at the Moscow Art Theater School. The film received the Nika Award for creative achievements in television cinema.
Fame came to the artist with the film “Method”, where she played the leading roles with Konstantin Khabensky. The plot revolves around investigator Rodion Meglin, who brilliantly solves complex murders. He was joined by a law graduate from Yesenya University. Her mother was killed under mysterious circumstances. She suspected that her boss was a maniac himself.
Filming took place in Nizhny Novgorod
In the comedy “Myths” by Alexander Molochnikov, Paulina played two heroines at once - sisters with different temperaments. She was approved after 36 auditions, although the director initially stated that there was no role for the actress in his project. The film was shot in the form of a satire on Russian cinema. The central roles went to Ivan Urgant and Sergei Bezrukov. Paulina performed the vocal part. To do this, she studied with teacher Maria Katz.
Latest works of the actress
Andreeva played an android robot named Arisa in the film “Better than People.” Her character learns to live among people. “During filming, I practically couldn’t improvise like my colleagues did.

The girl learned not to blink for a long time - her record is 2 minutes 30 seconds. She learned a mechanical gait with choreographers.
Still from the film
The movie star played student Irina in the film “Mistresses” by Elena Khazanova. The premiere took place in February 2022. In the story, three friends break up with their fiancés when they find out that they are married. They develop an insidious plan for revenge and help other girls who have faced betrayal.
The actress’s filmography includes 26 works. She admitted in an interview that she is not chasing the number of projects. “I want filming to be fun. I look forward to my roles and approach this very responsibly. I don't strive for a big filmography. There aren't many good scripts."
Andreeva’s first directorial work was the short film “I’m Crying with You.” Pavel Vorozhtsov played the central role of mourner at the funeral. The film received an award from the Kinotavr 2019 festival for “accurate representation of black in comedy.”

After this, the artist’s repertoire began to be replenished with interesting theatrical projects, such as the play “Home” by Evgeny Grishkovets and the production “The Master and Margarita”.

Despite her cameo role (restaurant singer Dina), the girl with an outstanding appearance does not go unnoticed by the audience. After the release of the series, fame literally falls on Paulina, and the song she performed in the film instantly becomes popular and is heard on all radio stations in the country.
TV series "Locust"
In 2013, “Locust” was released, which elevated the actress to a new level of fame.
The director of the series could not find a suitable candidate for the main female role for a long time, until he saw Paulina Andreeva. The girl felt responsible to the film crew and tried to prove that the choice was made correctly. The hot scenes of the erotic thriller starring Paulina Andreeva and Pyotr Fedorov were filmed at the highest Hollywood level, and according to some critics, far surpass the acclaimed “50 Shades of Gray” - every movement here is clearly rehearsed, and therefore genuine passion is visible in them.
Paulina admits that at first it was difficult for her to loosen up and play explicit erotic scenes. But then the actress realized that the film would not be complete without hot passions and agreed to appear naked. Although, as Paulina assures, she is no longer going to follow this path and appear naked with other directors.
Series "Gregory R."
Paulina's next notable role is in the series “Gregory R.”, where the actress plays side by side with the most famous and venerable actors (V. Mashkov, A. Smolyakov, I. Dapkunaite, etc.). Paulina was most shocked by the filming in the luxurious Yusupov Palace and other iconic places in St. Petersburg.
Series "Method"
The year 2015 became a landmark year for the actress - the thriller “Method” was released, which had the effect of a bomb exploding on the audience. Andreeva plays the main role in the series, and her partner in the film is the famous K. Khabensky.
A large-scale work, which has no analogues in world cinema, becomes the main thing in the actress’s career, and the audience appreciated Paulina’s talent and acting skills. After the release of the series, Andreeva entered the list of the most beautiful and popular Russian actresses, and her works arouse heated attention and discussion from viewers and critics.
Theater
Despite her triumph in cinema, Paulina still prefers working in the theater to films. The actress claims that the theater is more stable - here she has regular roles, premieres and performances: “Home” (E. Grishkovets), “The Master and Margarita”, “Do not part with your loved ones”, “Crime and Punishment”, etc. .

Movies
In 2007, Andreeva made her film debut in the crime series Law and Order, starring in two episodes.
Over the next 5 years, the actress appeared in minor roles, but viewers remembered her only with the release of the series “The Thaw” (2013), where she played the restaurant singer Dina. The 12-episode drama also stars Evgeny Tsyganov and Victoria Isakova. The music for the film was created by Konstantin Meladze, who, having heard the artist sing, invited her to record the main soundtrack herself.
The urban fantasy "The Dark World: Balance" was a failure in every sense - negative reviews from critics and low box office receipts. But the actors' performances were praised because of their "personal charm." Andreeva worked on the set with Pavel Priluchny, Maria Pirogova, Makar Zaporozhsky.
A bold step in Paulina’s film career was her participation in the film “Locust”. The film belongs to the erotic genre. In an interview, Andreeva noted that she had difficulty in bed scenes. Together with Pyotr Fedorov, I had to rehearse for a long time in clothes and remember every action, as if in ballet.

In the comedy “Myths” Andreeva got the main role - she played in the company of Yannis Papadopoulos, Sergei Bezrukov, Irina Rozanova. The musical comedy was included in the competition program of the Kinotavr festival. According to already established tradition, Paulina performed the soundtrack to the film.
