Her father was a forester, and her mother was a teacher. The Nazarovs moved to Daugavpils in the early 1940s, and during the war the 15-year-old Margarita was hijacked to work in Germany. At school, she studied German, so she could more or less communicate with the Germans. Once the owner told the maid that she was very flexible, moving very well, so he would try to identify her in a cabaret. Soon he did so. Margarita Nazarova began the life of a night dancer. Once the girls prepared for the performance and suddenly on the street they heard automatic bursts and Russian soldiers burst into the cabaret. In 1945, Nazarova returned to her homeland. In the same year in Riga, she got a job in "Circus on the Stage" with an acrobatic sketch. The first film - "Case in the Taiga" (1953) - extras. On the set of this film, she met with a trainer Konstantin Konstantinovsky, who soon became her husband. In 1954, Nazarov began to work as an assistant to trainers Boris Eder and her husband Konstantin Konstantinovsky. During the filming of the film "Tiger Tamer" she duplicated Lyudmila Kasatkina in a cage with predators. And in the film "Striped Flight" she herself became a performer of one of the main roles.
