[edit] Early and personal life
Akinshina was born in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg; then Soviet Union, now Russia), where she currently lives.[1] She has a younger sister.[2] At the time she landed the role in Lilya 4-ever, Akishnina knew only Russian language, and communicated with director Lukas Moodysson with the help of a translator.[1]
From 2007 to 2010, Akinshina was married to businessman Dmitry Litvinov.[3]
[edit] Career
Starting acting at age 12, Akinshina was discovered by Sergei Bodrov, Jr., and she made her screen début in the Russian crime film Sisters (2001), Bodrov's own directorial début.[citation needed]
Her second film, Lilya 4-Ever (2001), earned her a 2002 European Film Award nomination for Best Actress. She lost, however, to the eight actresses of the film 8 Women (2002), directed by François Ozon. For her role in Lilya 4-Ever, she also received the award for Best Actress in Leading Role from the Guldbagge Awards, Sweden's national film awards.[citation needed]
Since then Akinshina has acted in the films Het Zuiden, directed by Martin Koolhoven, and The Bourne Supremacy (2004), directed by Paul Greengrass.[citation needed]
