Ukrainian cinema/TV actress

Yana Smolentseva - an actress who knows how to bring passion and strength to every role. At 48, I continue to surprise and inspire, stepping beyond traditional roles and creating heroines that leave no one indifferent. I love to dive deep into each character, finding something new and unexpected in them. My work is always a blend of drama, charisma, and genuine emotion.

I am not afraid of changes and difficult challenges – every new project is an opportunity for me to show a different facet of my acting nature. I live for art, and for me, it’s important not just to tell a story but to leave a mark on the audience's soul. Acting is not just a profession, it’s my way of influencing the world, inspiring and capturing hearts.
