Ana Layevska
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ana Layevska (Ukrainian:Ана Лаєвска) (born Ana Laevski Rastsvetaeva on January 10, 1982 in Kiev, Ukraine), is a Mexican actress of telenovelas. Her parents are Sergei Laevski and Inna Rastsvetaeva. Ana's family moved to Mexico when she was only nine years old. She has been tied to drama since then. After having moved to Mexico, she became fluent in Russian, Spanish and English.
In Mexico Ana studied acting in the Centro de Educación Artística of Televisa. Thanks to her skills she obtained some roles in novelas such as Preciosa (1998) and Amor gitano (1999), acting with Mauricio Islas and Mariana Seoane. Those were relatively small roles but they were good experience as well.
Eventually, producer Pedro Damián called her to participate in telenovelas Primer amor: a 1000 x hora (2000), in which she shared credits with Anahí, Kuno Becker, Mauricio Islas, and Valentino Lanús. She won the TVyNovelas Award for best female revelation, as well as the Palmas de Oro prize in the same category.
In 2001, she starred in her first film, In the Time of the Butterflies, where she had the opportunity of acting with Salma Hayek and Edward James Olmos. In 2005, she participated in the reality TV show Bailando por un sueno, where celebrities are paired with contestants in a dance-based competition. Despite being unpopular with the judges, she was saved from eviction three times by public telephone voting, eventually placing third overall.
