“There should be a lot of good people” - this is clearly not about the heroines of our selection. Having awarded them talent and beauty, nature “rested” on their growth, but this made them even more attractive.
Small growth has never been a problem for girls, so they do not worry about this and fascinate with their appearance.
10. Christina Asmus: 164 cm
The actress, who is now 31 years old, since childhood was short, but very athletic, eventually becoming a candidate for master of sports in gymnastics.
In addition to sports, she was fond of theater, for the first time stepping on stage in the elementary grades of the school. She was inspired to become an actress by Natalia Oreiro, whom young Asmus saw in the TV series “Wild Angel”.
Now Christina is a recognizable actress (mainly because of the role of Varya Chernous in “Interns”) and is happy in marriage with Garik Kharlamov. Garik, by the way, is 22 cm higher than his wife.
9. Anastasia Zavorotnyuk: 162 cm
Another actress, famous for only one role in the television series. Of course, we are talking about the project “My Fair Nanny,” which has long been a phenomenon of Russian TV.
If its growth does not matter much for such a role, then it was rather unusual to see her as a cool FSB agent in the action movie “Apocalypse Code”. Small, but coped on the screen with men a cut above and stronger.
Since 2008, Anastasia has been married to skater Peter Chernyshev, who is 26 cm higher than his wife.
8. Alla Pugacheva: 162 cm
The prima donna of the Russian stage, which celebrated its 70th anniversary on April 15, is now incorrectly called beauty, at least because of her considerable age, but we must not forget about the times of her youth.
In her best years, she was the main singer in the country, eclipsing everyone not only in popularity, but also in beauty.
Despite the fact that, objectively, she never possessed a model appearance, some unknown magic allowed her to win men's hearts throughout the Soviet Union.
Now Alla Borisovna is married for the fifth time: her husband Maxim Galkin is younger than the singer by 28 years and 18 cm higher.
7. MaxSim: 160 cm
This singer, whose name is Marina Abrosimova, in the 2000s was one of the main stars of Russian pop music. Her hits “Do You Know”, “Tenderness”, “My Paradise”, etc., were really viral in those years, although the very concept of “viral song” came into use much later.
In addition to the music that MakSim has been making since childhood, she was also seriously interested in karate, having managed to get a red belt.
By the way, she did not invent her pseudonym: as a child, she spent a lot of time with her older brother Maxim Abrosimov, for which she was nicknamed after him.
6. Anna Khilkevich: 160 cm
And again, the actress, known exclusively for one role, although there are several dozen of them in her assets (most are episodic).
The stupid but sexy Masha from Univer in her performance turned out exactly the way it should: on her cues, the male part of the audience usually turned off the brain and did not listen, but simply looked at the face, figure, movements.
Supporting the reputation, she starred for the covers of MAXIM and Playboy.
5. Marina Alexandrova: 158 cm
A graduate of the Shchukin Theater School began her career in 2000, appearing in the episode "Kamikaze" of the series "Empire Under Attack".
The very next year, she received the first main role, and immediately in the big movie - the drama "Northern Lights". True, the film itself cannot be called big - a typical Russian prodigy, who nevertheless allowed himself to prove himself and attract the attention of directors.
4. Julia Savicheva: 157 cm
The peak of Yulia Savicheva’s popularity also fell to zero when she competed with Maxim, having a similar target audience.
In school years, the singer was fond of ballroom dancing and twice became the champion of Moscow with her partner.
She started the path to fame in 2003 at the show “Star Factory 2”, which, although she did not win, she became a finalist and built a successful career.
3. Julia Volkova: 157 cm
From childhood, Julia was fond of not only music, where later she was able to realize herself, but also the theater. So, in 1995, she even went to school with theatrical training, which is not everywhere.
In the future, this helped her to get the first roles in the newsreel “Jumble” (she starred in the episodes “Help me out” and “Mannequin”).
In the field of music, she showed herself at the age of 9 when she was accepted into the vocal and instrumental ensemble "Fidgets", which a year later, her future partner in the duo "Tatu" Lena Katina joined.
The latter, by the way, is only 5 cm higher than Volkova, and we did not include her in the list just because the singer, after the breakup of the band, works mainly in the West.
2. Irina Pegova: 155 cm
In addition to acting (Pegova not only acts in films and TV shows, but also devotes a lot of time to the theater), her popularity was ensured by participation in the project “Dancing with the Stars”, where she, together with Andrei Kozlovsky, became the winner in 2015.
Her modest growth certainly made it easier for him: to carry out support and raise such a tiny partner in her arms is quite convenient.
1. Natalya Varley: 150 cm
We’ll finish the selection with another beauty of the past who conquered the entire male part of the USSR population with the role of Nina in Gaidai’s cult comedy “The Captive of the Caucasus, or Shurik’s New Adventures”.
At the time of filming, Natalya was only 19 years old, but she already managed to graduate with honors from the acrobatic department of the State College of Circus and Variety Arts.
It is noteworthy that in childhood she was a sickly child and did not even attend physical education, having been released, but later she decided to become a balancer.
Speaking on the stage of the Moscow Circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard, she met the famous clown Leonid Yengibarov, who brought her into the world of cinema through her friend director Yungvald-Hinkevich.
He gave her the first role in the film “The Formula of Love”, after which Varley became seriously interested in filming and went for the tests of “The Caucasian Captive”.
