Emiliya Spivak is a Russian theater and film actress. Her father is a theater director, People's Artist of Russia Semyon Spivak. Her father's profession largely predetermined her future fate and career. She made her stage debut at the age of 12. After school, she entered the St. Petersburg Theatre Academy, course of Vladislav Pazi, which she graduated in 2003. In St. Petersburg, Emiliya played in the theater (Youth Theater on Fontanka), which is run by her father, but she does not consider her position to be privileged.

She started acting in films while still studying at the university. She was offered a role in the detective series Tayny sledstviya (2000), where she played the intern Evgeniya Anatolyevna. It so happened that the main actress, Anna Kovalchuk, was temporarily absent from the series. And this was a chance for Emiliya Spivak, who had to replace her. Then she starred in eight seasons of the popular film and became famous. In 2005, she got her second iconic role - Esfir Litvinova - in the film The State Counsellor (2005). After this film, she became a real star of Russian cinema.

As for my position, it is not so enviable, and certainly not privileged. Sometimes I wait two or three years for my role. Perhaps, working in another theater, I could play more
For some reason, my dad and I decided to prepare Tatyana's letter to Onegin. We started for ourselves, as a children's training. Then the theater's anniversary happened, and my dad invited me to perform. And so little Milya was pushed onto the stage to the microphone. There was a huge crowd of people, the hall was packed. I still remember how my knees were shaking, and my voice was shaking so much that I wanted to cry.
There is such a thing. Thank God, everyone is still alive, but I can break dishes. It's a family thing. People are very surprised to learn that dad can be very emotional in the theater: 'Is this man really capable of screaming?' Appearances are deceiving
My wedding took place in August 2012. I would not like to talk about it in detail. I will only say that my chosen one was a man whom I have known for a very, very long time - almost fourteen years. We met in the first year of the theater institute, he is my classmate...
Red is not my natural color, but I really like it. I think it's my strong point. I think it's my color, I feel great in it. Sometimes I dye my hair in other shades because of my job, sometimes I want to change something myself, but, as a rule, I still choose something from the red shades
