Evgeniya Brik (Russian: Евгения Брик, née Khirivskaya (Хиривская), 3 September 1981 – 10 February 2022) was a Russian actress, best known for playing Kalinka in the Belgian television series Matroesjka's.
Life and career
Evgenia Vladimirovna Khirivskaya was born on 3 September 1981 in Moscow. She was named after her paternal grandfather Yevgeny Abramovich Krein, who was a famous journalist.[2] The actress took the surname Brik in honor of her paternal great-grandmother Sofia Brik, as a stage name.[3] However, despite marriage and adopting a stage name, she never changed her legal documentation, thus keeping her maiden last name.[4] She has Polish and Jewish ancestry.
At the age of 5, she successfully completed tryouts and was invited to work as a child model at the All-Union House of Fashion Design. In elementary and middle school, she focused on learning English, before applying for and graduating from a theater prep school. She also graduated from a music school as a classically trained pianist.
She studied at the Russian Academy of Theatre Arts and obtained her diploma in 2004.[5]
In Russia, her breakthrough role was Katya, a university Komsomol unit leader, in the 2008 musical comedy-drama Stilyagi.
Personal life and death
Brik was married to director Valery Todorovsky, with whom she had a daughter, Zoey Valeryevna Todorovskaya, born in 2009 in Los Angeles.[6] Zoey had her acting debut as young Prairie Johnson in The OA, a 2016 Netflix Original series. Brik died from cancer on 10 February 2022, at the age of 40.[7]
