She left a bright mark on the history of Russian show business. For 19 years of her creative career, Zhanna managed to perform in a musical group, start a solo performance, try her hand at a reality show, and also managed to become a successful actress and TV presenter. During all this time, together with Zhanna, her image also changed, and this post will help us remember each of them.

Zhanna Friske as part of the "Brilliant" group in 1996

Zhanna Friske was invited to the "Brilliant" group in 1995 as artistic director. The producers of the collective Andrei Shlykov and Andrei Grozny called the 21-year-old student to help select outfits and stage performances for the band members. However, they soon noticed the charisma of the young artist and invited her to become the fourth member of the "brilliant".

Zhanna Friske in 1996

At the beginning of her career, the star of the pop scene appeared before the audience in the form of a fatal brunette and immediately fell in love with her for her mischievous character, bright appearance and undeniable talent. Blue eyes, a dazzling smile, a shock of thick hair and thread-like eyebrows - Zhanna Friske has always followed fashion trends. It was with these features of appearance that the girl won the hearts of her first fans.

In 1998, in the video of the song "Chao, bambina!" the singer appears in a new role, inspired by Hollywood in the 1960s. Zhanna Friske surprises fans with a short wave-length hairstyle and a transparent sheer dress in the style of Marlene Dietrich. The bold act was justified: the fatal image of the half-naked Zhanna Friske captured the minds of millions of men.

In 2002-2003, "Brilliant" released three hits in a row: "Over the Four Seas", "And I flew all the time" and "Orange Song". In the new clips, Zhanna still prefers open neckline, extreme mini, but tight-fitting dresses are gradually fading into the background. Elegant trouser suits, various styles of skirts and stylish tops appear in the celebrity's stage wardrobe.

Feeling the taste of real fame, the 29-year-old singer decides to set sail for free. The artist leaves the "Brilliant" and begins a solo career. At this moment, Zhanna Friske's style also changes: bright dresses and short skirts occupy the far corners of her wardrobe, they are replaced by classic suits and corsets. In addition, the singer, who recently lost her hair, decides to have a shorter haircut. At this stage of her career, Zhanna tries herself as an actress, playing the demonic role of the witch Alisa Donnikova in Timur Bekmambetov's films "Day Watch" and "Night Watch".

Photoshoot for the clip "La-la-la" 2004

In 2004, the pop diva released her first solo single. The song "La-la-la" instantly took off in the charts to the first lines. Zhanna Frisk was no longer spoken of as an "ex-brilliant", but as a full-fledged artist. By the way, it was the video for this catchy song that became the hallmark of her solo career. Many critics then compared the image of Jeanne with the image of the Australian singer Kylie Minogue. Friske, 30, changed her hair color: she dyed her hair light blond, which gave her more freshness. The bob, styled with light spring curls, also reminded many of the popular Australian.

In 2006, she lets her hair go below her shoulders. Now the singer has much more opportunities to experiment with her appearance. She appears in music videos, TV programs and parties with evening styling, or with loose curls.

2008 year

In 2008, a European touch appears in the image of Zhanna Friske. At this time, the artist looks less provocative, but does not lose her sexuality. She cuts her hair just below the shoulders, and adds gold blonde and hot copper highlights to the dark brown palette. The star's make-up becomes more restrained: the pink-peach shade of the lips and the eyes neatly drawn in a charcoal-black pencil become invariable components of her make-up. By the way, the main accessory of Zhanna Friske is still an open snow-white smile.

In 2010, the pop singer conquers the red carpets in mini dresses, admittedly exposing her legs and emphasizing the neckline. At some point, the artist takes part in a photo shoot without makeup, and even without a make-up layer confirms her title as one of the most beautiful women in Russia.

Jeanne began to dress more modestly, now defiant dresses are no longer her calling card: she prefers classic jackets, airy blouses and long skirts. At social events, she appears accompanied by her common-law spouse Dmitry Shepelev, and in April 2013, the couple had a son, Platon.

"An infinitely kind, sincere and bright person" - this is how everyone who knew her or communicated with her at least once speaks about Zhanna Frisk. The singer died after a long struggle with cancer - she had brain cancer. The memory of her lives in the hearts of relatives, friends, colleagues, fans.

Jeanne's fan club continues to grow. Users add unique pictures to social networks from their own personal archives, which have not been published anywhere else. These photographs are the only thing that they now have left in memory of their beloved star.

Even more valuable for everyone who loved Zhanna were the pictures published by her loved ones: Olga Orlova, Ekaterina Tsvetova, Oksana Stepanova. Such, perhaps, only they could remember Friske. Gentle, vulnerable, at times tired, but so dear. Now, thanks to the star's friends, the real Zhanna Friske can also be recognized by her fans. "StarHit" has collected unique archive photos of the departed singer through the eyes of her relatives.

In December 2016, the artist's family erected a monument at her grave at the Nikolo-Arkhangelsk cemetery. “The face is the most difficult. They sculpted from the photos that Natasha sent. We have prepared four options. One was attached to the body, the rest were placed on stands. The clay sculpture is made to fit Jeanne's natural height - 165 centimeters, plus five centimeters - the height of the heels, ”said the creator of the figure Levon Manukyan.

For four years, the parents of Zhanna Friske have not managed to settle the issue of dating with their grandson Plato. The boy lives with his father, Dmitry Shepelev. Despite the fact that the child can see grandparents by a court decision, his dad does not seek to organize regular meetings for them. In addition, as Zhanna Friske's mother Olga Vladimirovna said, Plato is being turned against them.

“Growing smart and beautiful. You are very similar to him, just like two drops of water, even the intonations, the turn of the head are the same. Platosha repeats your gesture during a conversation - twists his right hand, "- this is how Olga Vladimirovna described her grandson in a letter addressed to her daughter.

Shepelev himself remained silent for a long time. However, in the fall of 2016, the TV journalist released the book Zhanna, in which he spoke about his feelings and tried to show other people that they should not give up, even if someone close to him was diagnosed with cancer.

“In this book, I share medical, psychological and sometimes household advice. And the second reason why it was written is to preserve the good memory of Jeanne. Do not be silent if trouble has occurred. Don't equate cancer with death. A terrible diagnosis is not a reason to say goodbye to life, but a reason to fight for life and for your loved ones. This is exactly what I wanted to convey with my book, ”Shepelev said.

The TV presenter talks a lot with Plato about his mother and tries to do everything possible so that the boy grows up as a happy child. In conversations with his son, Dmitry tries to be extremely honest. “I am not hiding anything from Plato. We talk to him often. I really want Plato to feel the presence of Jeanne as well as I feel her presence, - Shepelev shared, presenting the book. “I want him to be sure that my mother is there and she will not leave him.”

Zhanna Vladimirovna Friske (Kopylova) - soloist of the "Brilliant" group from 1996 to 2003. From 2003 to 2013, she built a solo career. She starred in the films "Night Watch", "What Men Talk About", participated in the reality show "The Last Hero", was the host of the project "Vacations in Mexico".

Childhood and family

In 1973, the fateful meeting of the future parents of Zhanna Friske took place: an employee of the Moscow House of Arts, Vladimir Friske, collided on one of the capital's streets with Olga Kopylova, a smiling and energetic Cossack from the Urals. Four months after they met, stamps appeared in their passports indicating the beginning of family life. The happy groom took the bride's surname and became Vladimir Kopylov.

A year later, the couple stunned their relatives with good news: Olga Kopylova became pregnant. On July 8, 1974, the royal twins were born. The boy and girl were born in the seventh month of pregnancy; Jeanne's brother had a congenital intestinal pathology - he could not survive.

Vladimir was strict with his eldest daughter and did not allow her to waste time: Zhanna was engaged in ballet, sports dancing, rhythmic gymnastics, acrobatics, and participated in school performances.

In 1986, the Friske-Kopylov family increased - their second daughter Natasha was born. Despite the 12-year age difference, the sisters became real friends. The youngest Kopylova also showed herself as a creative person: she was engaged in singing and dancing.

In her senior year, her father took Zhanna to audition for Mosfilm. The tests were unsuccessful, but Vladimir nevertheless pushed his daughter to the shooting of commercials about vacuum cleaners and sports equipment.

In 1991, Zhanna graduated from school No. 406 in Perovo and entered the Moscow Humanitarian Institute, preferring the Faculty of Journalism. Three years later, the girl left the university without receiving the coveted crust. In search of earnings, she got a job as a secretary in a construction company, and then became a teacher of plastics and choreography.

"Shiny"

In 1996, Zhanna Kopylova met the producer Andrei Gromov, who at that time was engaged in the girlish pop project "Brilliant". At that time, the group included Olga Orlova, Polina Iodis and Varvara Koroleva. Andrei knew that Zhanna was professionally engaged in dancing, and invited the girl to the position of a choreography consultant.

In the same year, the "Brilliant" released their first solo album "There, Only There" and were ready to go on a tour across Russia, but before the start of the tour, Varvara announced that she was leaving the group for the sake of family happiness. In her place came the soloist Irina Lukyanova, and in May 1997 Grozny suggested introducing the fourth "sparkle" - Zhanna.

The girl needed a pseudonym; as a stage name, Jeanne took a sonorous and rather well-known father's surname. Despite this step, at first Vladimir was upset by the career choice of his eldest daughter, but when it became clear that the fiery quartet was just right for the Russian stage, he changed his anger to mercy.

Brilliant - "And I flew everything"

Together with Zhanna Friske "Brilliant" recorded four albums: the disc "Just Dreams" in 1998, two years later - the album "About Love". It was followed by "Over the Four Seas" and "Orange Paradise", which, in fact, was a collection of covers of popular Soviet songs. During the recording of Orange Paradise, there was no one left from the original composition of the Brilliant: Ksenia Novikova, Anna Semenovich and Yulia Kovalchuk were now singing with Zhanna.

The album became Zhanna's final project as part of the "Brilliant". The reason for leaving was prosaic - the girl realized that she had "outgrown" the period of the girl band and decided to devote time to her solo career.

Solo career

In October 2005, Zhanna's debut solo album was released, recorded with the participation of Andrei the Terrible and Sergei Haruta. The record was modestly called "Jeanne" and consisted of 9 original songs and four remixes. The compositions "La-la-la", "Somewhere in the summer" and "I'm flying into the dark", which were actively rotated on radio and music channels, hit the top of the charts. In 2006, in collaboration with Andrei Gubin, a reissue of the album was released, supplemented by three video clips and a couple of new remixes.

Zhanna Friske - I was

The album remained Zhanna's only solo album, but there was no talk of stopping her singing career: Friske released 17 singles in collaboration with major Russian pop stars: the hit track "Malinki" with the guys from "Disco Crash", "Western" with Tanya Tereshina, "You are near" together with Djigan, "The snow is quietly falling" with Dmitry Malikov. The last single "Love Wanted" was released in 2015, shortly before the singer's death.

Film and television

In 2003, shortly before leaving the "Brilliant" Friske took part in the fourth season of the reality show "The Last Hero". After spending several months on an uninhabited island somewhere in South America, the girl steadfastly withstood all the hardships of wild life, although there were many dangerous episodes, for example, once Nikolai Drozdov accidentally poisoned the show participants with poisonous frogs caught by DeTsl, assuring teammates that with the skin removed amphibians will be completely edible. In addition, Jeanne was allergic to exotic plants. Friske reached the final, but lost the title of the winner to Yana Volkova. Returning to Moscow, rested and inspired by the new experience, the girl terminated her contract with the group and began working on material for a solo album.

In 2004, Timur Bekmambetov's blockbuster Night Watch, based on the novel of the same name by Sergei Lukyanenko, was released. Although Zhanna's heroine was called Alisa Donnikova, it was understood that the freedom-loving and intelligent witch-singer was Friske herself. In the epic tape, the girl demonstrated the insidious side of her character: while Konstantin Khabensky was trying to remove the curse from the heroine Maria Poroshina, Zhanna convinced the young "other" Yegor to take the dark side.

Friske did not stop at her successful acting debut in Night Watch: in 2005, the sequel to the saga about the confrontation between Light and Dark was released. This time, Bekmambetov devoted more screen time to the heroine of Zhanna, forcing the girl to choose between the dark lord Zavulon, the character of Viktor Verzhbitsky, and the young vampire Kostya, the hero of Alexei Chadov. The role earned her an MTV award for Best Actress 2006.

In 2010, fans saw Friske in two films. The first is the psychological drama "Who am I?" with the participation of Alexander Yatsenko and Sergey Gazarov. Zhanna appears in the memoirs of Pasha Matveyev, who has lost his memory, and is suspected of murder. The film was not subjected to sharp criticism, but also did not receive rave reviews, hiding without a trace among the number of mediocre films by Klim Shipenko.

But another project - Dmitry Dyachenko's comedy "What Men Talk About", filmed in the genre of a road movie, grossed $ 12 million in the Russian box office and received hundreds of laudatory reviews. In the center of the plot are the participants of the “I Quartet” (Leonid Barats, Alexander Demidov and others), who decided to spend a real “men's” weekend away from the city and family. Friske played herself, and the cameo came out very self-ironic.

In 2011, Friske became the host of the reality show "Holidays in Mexico", however, due to the heavy workload, she refused to participate in the second season of the project, transferring the post to the ex-participant of "House-2" Alena Vodonaeva.

Zhanna Friske's personal life

The singer's personal life has always been interested in Russian and foreign tabloids. Over the years of her career, she was credited with a relationship with the leader of the group "Reckless Scammers" Sergei Amoralov, lead singer of Hi-Fi Mitya Fomin. There were gossips that it was by no means professional relations that connected her with Dmitry Nagiyev. However, there was never any official confirmation from Friske herself, or at least from the ubiquitous paparazzi.

At the beginning of her career, the singer met with the entrepreneur Ilya Mitelman, who often acted as a sponsor of the girl's projects, but it never came to a wedding.

In 2006, Zhanna began an affair with hockey player Alexander Ovechkin, but her partner chose to get carried away by another "ex-brilliant", Ksenia Novikova.

Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev: a love story

Since August 2011, the media began to "match" Friske with Dmitry Shepelev. For a while, Zhanna denied her relationship with the TV presenter, and Shepelev had an alleged common-law wife living in Kiev, so the majority agreed that this whole story was nothing more than a thoughtful PR of the singer's marketers.

In January 2012, the paparazzi caught them while on a joint vacation in Miami - the stars, unaware of the surveillance, clearly showed feelings for each other. Then there was the story of the SPA-salon, where the couple went to the May Day holidays with a "program for two."

When the long-awaited first child was born to the 38-year-old singer in April 2013, she had to confirm that Shepelev was indeed the father of the child and her lover. The happy parents and the boy, who was named Plato, spent several months in Miami, and upon returning to Moscow, they began to plan a wedding.

However, the ceremony was not destined to take place. In January 2014, information appeared in the media that the star was terminally ill. Many considered the news a blasphemous "newspaper duck", but soon the singer's relatives and partner confirmed the terrible diagnosis - glioblastoma, an inoperable fourth-degree brain cancer. Zhanna learned about the disease during her pregnancy, but refused chemotherapy for fear of losing her child. After giving birth, she was tormented by headaches for a long time, but the singer for several months hid a terrible illness from her family and the press.

Death

For almost two years, Zhanna has been fighting cancer in the best clinics in the USA and Germany. At some point, fans got the impression that the star is on the mend, but in the spring of 2015 it became clear that there was no chance of salvation.

Zhanna Friske passed away on June 15, 2015. The grief-stricken father was the first to report this: “Jeanne is dead, it's true. It happened on June 15 at ten o'clock in the evening. "

Farewell to the artist took place on June 17 in the capital's concert hall "Crocus City Hall". Numerous friends and colleagues from show business came to the sad ceremony. A close friend of Friske, who worked with her in the "Brilliant" group, Olga Orlova, could not hold back her tears: "Farewell, my beauty .... You will forever remain in my heart .... Look after me from above .... I am very love you...".

Farewell to Zhanna Friske

Zhanna Friske was buried at the Nikolo-Arkhangelsk cemetery. Dmitry Shepelev forbade anyone from the press to attend the funeral service. The funds raised for the treatment of Zhanna Friske with the help of Channel One went to the treatment of children with cancer. Jeanne's son Platon stayed with Dmitry Shepelev. Jeanne's parents and sister promised to provide any support to the boy who lost his mother.

Scandal: the Friske family against Dmitry Shepelev

Alas, shortly after Jeanne's death, an extremely unpleasant conflict broke out between Shepelev and the Friske family. The day before his death, Friske Shepelev took Plato to Bulgaria and stopped communicating with the relatives of his common-law wife. For a long time, he did not allow Olga and Vladimir Kopylov to see his grandson. In turn, Zhanna's parents and close friends accused Dmitry of speculating on Friske's name: he sold her latest photographs to yellow publications, had illegal access to her accounts, and seriously “venerated” the amount that the whole country collected for the singer for treatment. Father Friske was especially zealous - right up to public threats of murder.

With the help of the guardianship authorities, the Kopylovs obtained permission to meet with Plato, but the baby's father was not going to give up the position. He still did not let his grandparents visit his grandson. In December 2015, Shepelev said that Kopylov with a group of anonymous persons attacked him in order to kidnap Plato. Vladimir, on the other hand, accused the presenter of playing in public and said that he was only trying to see the boy and that there was no attack. After that, Dmitry publicly stated that the child's grandfather was mentally ill.

However, when dividing Jeanne's inheritance, the conflicting parties managed to come to a consensus. The relatives received the Moscow apartment of the deceased, and Shepelev, as a guardian, got a country house. However, the scandal acquired new details, threatening to mix the name of the Friske-Kopylov family with dirt. Rusfond, which oversaw the collection of money for Friske, demanded a detailed report on the funds spent. It soon became clear that 21 million rubles had disappeared from Zhanna's account. Parents and common-law spouse nodded at each other, accusing each of their opponents of stealing. However, this issue was also resolved when Zhanna's sister, Natalya Kopylova, was able to provide checks with the “disappeared” amount.

As for poor Plato, who became the stumbling block of this whole unpleasant story, he remained to live with the pope. He still saw his grandparents - on May 30, 2016, Jeanne's relatives met the baby for the first time in a long time. It cannot be said that the ice in the relationship between the presenter and his father-in-law melted, but the beginning of this process was laid.

Dmitry did a great job so that the death of his mother would hit Plato's psyche as little as possible. He answers the boy to any question about his mother, the best photos of Zhanna are placed in their house, and when giving the baby a gift for the next holiday, Dmitry always says: "Mom and I congratulate you!" He often takes his son to resorts, strictly controls his leisure time and diet, and takes an active part in the life of Plato.

In June 2015, the public was struck by the news of the death of the bright star of Russian show business, Zhanna Friske. Of course, many understood that the terrible illness left no chance for the singer, but there was still hope of people. It was difficult not to hope, given that Jeanne miraculously managed to win back two whole years from death, instead of a couple of months predicted by the doctors.

But people who knew Friske closely were convinced that this was happening with really strong people, which the artist was. The support of relatives and friends played an important role. And the death of Zhanna Friske and her last photographs before her death shocked everyone.

After Jeanne's death in social networks and interviews with major publications, many stars decided to talk about what a bright and hopeful person Jeanne was. First of all, after the tragedy, her close friends responded, among them Lolita, who admitted that Zhanna dreamed of a second child. Glucose also expressed her condolences, who could not believe that Jeanne was no longer there.

Not without the comments of the former members of the group "Brilliant", colleagues on the stage of Zhanna. Yulia Kovalchuk admitted that she will not miss Jeanne and she, as Yulia is convinced, would not want to see how everyone is sad. Of course, it was not without the support of Olga Orlova, Zhanna's friend, who devoted a lot of time to a loved one, spending the last days of the artist nearby. According to media reports, Olga was with the singer and her family in her apartment on the day Zhanna passed away. The news about Zhanna Frisk, her illness and her last photos before her death spread all over the Internet.

The common-law husband of the artist was in Bulgaria at the moment when Zhanna died. People did not condemn him. The decision to go to Bulgaria with the son of Dmitry and Zhanna Platon was made by close singers at a family council. The boy at that time was two years old, of course, the death of his mother and the hype that arose because of the journalists, would be a big blow for the child.

To preserve the baby's psyche, the father took him away from Moscow. By that time, Jeanne had been in a coma for a long time. To blame Dmitry for being far away on the day of his wife's death is naturally stupid.

One has only to think how hard it was for the family and friends of Jeanne, including her lover. Not everyone will be able to watch how the life of a loved one is fading away. Shepelev himself in an interview with a large publication admitted that from the moment Zhanna was diagnosed, he and his wife did not make plans for the future, did not start talking about the upcoming summer, about vacations and rest and travel. We talked about the present moment, lived as if tomorrow did not come.

Shepelev admitted that the whole time of Friske's illness was stressful for her family, they had a huge responsibility. All the time it was necessary to make decisions that influenced Jeanne's life, put her fate and future on the line. In particular, Dmitry said that he was always looking for ways to treat his wife. The artist's husband kept correspondence, traveled around the world, met with the best doctors in the world, consulted with professionals in order to save a loved one. There were people who raised the question that the Friske family chose a clinic for Zhanna in America, and not in Russia. But not everyone understands that the choice was not between two countries, but between belief in something or someone.

But the hospital in America was not the only institution that received treatment. There were several medical institutions, and they were located in different countries.

Western clinics helped in many respects to stop the development of the disease and its impact on the life of a woman, but Friske could not be cured. The story of Zhanna Friske and the last photographs before her death came as a shock to the public.

When Zhanna was not being treated, she could spend time with her family. Shepelev shared with the artist's fans the news that their family is having a great time swimming, enjoying delicious food, walking together. The fact that the couple and their son could just hold hands was a huge victory and a step forward, not backward.

Shepelev about the death of his wife

After Jeanne's death, Dmitry decided to write a message of gratitude to fans of Friske and those who are not indifferent. The support of outsiders was palpable all the time. He confessed to the men that for them happiness was the feeling that loved silence. And after the death of Friske, the woman remains pure and the most unforgettable happiness that was in his life.

Dmitry thanked everyone who helped the Friske family raise money for treatment, donated blood, prayed for the singer's health, wished her strength and happiness. The man is convinced that the support played a huge role in the fact that Jeanne managed to live two years from the moment of the diagnosis, which the doctors could not believe. Naturally, two years is a lot for a terrible illness, at the same time so little for people who loved Jeanne. Zhanna Friske and her last concerts and photographs before her death were remembered by her fans more.

Jeanne became a ray of light and an example of a real star, unspoiled fame and money. And this happened no longer in the "Belshtiyi", which brought Friske popularity. Of course, it is useless to deny the fact that Jeanne was a bright and talented singer, beloved by many, in the group. But the real Jeanne opened after the release of the show "The Last Hero".

An extreme program about survival in the wild with a lot of tests revealed Friske for her fans and fans of the show on the other side. People did not think that behind the stage image of "brilliant" there is a strong and bright character, willpower. This is how she was remembered by those around her. Finding out that Friske was gone was difficult not only for fans of her work, but for everyone who saw a real and positive person in a woman. Everyone was not indifferent.

It is difficult to imagine what a woman who finally met true love had to go through, for 38 years she learned the happiness of motherhood. Everyone tried to help raise money for the treatment of the star.

Channel One decided to organize a marathon, a charity event, and managed to raise 67 million rubles. The amount was enough to treat Jeanne in New York.

The remaining money was used to help sick children from low-income families. Dmitry and Zhanna created their own charitable foundation, its work continues in our time.

Dmitry said that he was not going to close the fund and would be engaged in its development for the sake of people in need of help and salvation. At the end of the marathon, Jeanne also addressed the people from the First One, thanking the people who showed mercy. “Tranquility. Hope, ”wrote the artist. Zhanna Friske, her last words and photographs before her death will forever remain in the memory of people.

Jeanne's last love

Friska gained popularity after the success of the "Brilliant" group, which appeared towards the end of the 90s. The press did not miss the opportunity to write articles and hot news about the personal lives of the girl group members. If they wrote about many that girls are looking for boyfriends, focusing on the size of the wallet, then Jeanne was singled out as a woman who chooses gentlemen by appearance.

The tabloids wrote about Friske's novels with Kakha Kaladze, the famous hockey player, the desired and enviable bachelor Alexander Ovechkin, as well as Vitaly Novikov. News about the new fans and the woman's sympathies did not leave the front pages of publications.

But the news was not the most pleasant. Almost every romance ended in parting and quarrels. Jeanne's fans were waiting for the news that the artist was getting married, going to become a mother. We had to wait for such news until 2011. The year became a turning point for Friske, Zhanna met her betrothed Dmitry Shepelev.

Jeanne, in her own words, did not lose hope of meeting her destiny, a man. At the concerts, Friske told her colleagues on the stage that she sincerely believes in the existence of a prince. Not all people are lucky to meet their destiny in their youth.

Jeanne's parents were fortunate enough to meet each other in their youth and their marriage became an example for the artist, although her father did not have the simplest character, as the woman joked. Jeanne had to make a lot of mistakes and go through various difficult moments in her personal life before meeting true love. Zhanna Friske remains in the memory of millions of an attractive and smiling woman, despite the last photos before her death, which amazed fans and fans.

Dmitry had a hard time, journalists asked annoying stupid questions "How Dmitry, young and successful, decided to choose a woman who is eight years older than him." "Well-wishers" Shepelev advised them not to meddle in their own business and keep the advice to themselves. Dmitry Zhanna became the only one. The man refused to believe in the difference in age, only in real feelings.

Motherhood

Jeanne's fans were infinitely happy to find out that the woman had finally become a mother. At 38, she gave birth to a boy named Plato. The artist was going to leave her singing career and devote all her time and all her strength to her family. Unfortunately, everything did not turn out the way that Friske wanted.

After giving birth, Jeanne's health deteriorated, but the singer threw off her weakness on fatigue, a busy schedule, postpartum syndrome. Only later did it become clear that a terrible illness was the cause.

Shepelev, during Zhanna's treatment, told reporters how strong his wife turned out to be. The TV presenter admitted that he had never met such women, and it is difficult to find such strength and character among men. At a time when the artist had to worry and be in despair, accept the support of loved ones, Zhanna was completely calm and with this calmness helped her family and friends, a loved one. Shepelev called his wife a woman of harmony. Although he is sure that deep down, Friske was mentally hard. It's hard to come to terms with the fact that she has no future, she will not be able to be with her son when he grows up.

Her old friend journalist Otar Kushanashvili also wrote about the strength of this bright woman. The man was convinced that in a situation in which there was no longer any point in fighting death, life could only be supported by willpower, love of life and a thirst to be close to loved ones. When Otar saw the son of Dmitry and Zhanna, he had no questions left. Everything became clear where the woman had the strength and courage to withstand the terrible disease.

To our great regret, many forces were not enough to live even longer or miraculously be healed even in a sensitive and loving woman like Jeanne. Human strength and energy are not unlimited. Zhanna was able to live longer than anyone could imagine, and this is already a huge victory, happiness for the Friske family, her son, who managed to feel maternal love and care. Everyone remembers what a bright and strong woman Zhanna Friske was, not taking into account the illness and the last photos before the death of the magnificent singer.

Zhanna Friske is one of the brightest representatives of the Russian stage. Men consider her a sex symbol, and women are role models. Despite the fact that now the singer does not go on stage due to health problems, her songs are still heard, and in the memory of fans, the girl still remains one of the most beautiful women in Russia. SUPER remembered how the star's image had changed over the past twenty years.

In 1998, in the video for the song "Chao, bambina!" the singer appears in a new role, inspired by Hollywood of the 60s. Zhanna Friske surprises fans with a short wave-length hairstyle and a transparent sheer dress in the style of Marlene Dietrich. The bold act was justified: the fatal image of the half-naked Zhanna Friske captured the minds of millions of men.

From 2002 to 2003, "Bletchie" released three hits in a row: "Over the Four Seas", "And I flew all the time" and "Orange Song". In the new clips, Zhanna still prefers open neckline, extreme mini, but tight-fitting dresses are gradually fading into the background. Elegant trouser suits, various styles of skirts and stylish tops appear in the celebrity's stage wardrobe.

Feeling the taste of real fame, the 29-year-old singer decides to set sail for free. The artist leaves the "Brilliant" and begins a solo career. At this moment, Zhanna Friske's style also changes: bright dresses and short skirts occupy the far corners of her wardrobe, and classic suits and corsets take their place. In addition, the singer, who recently let go of her hair, decides to have an even shorter haircut. At this stage of her career, Zhanna tries herself as an actress, playing the demonic role of the witch Alisa Donnikova in Timur's films "Day Watch" and "Night Watch".

In 2004, the pop diva released her first solo single. The song "La-la-la" instantly took off in the charts to the first lines. Zhanna Frisk was no longer spoken of as an "ex-brilliant", but as a full-fledged artist. By the way, it was the video for this catchy song that became the hallmark of her solo career. Many critics then compared the image of Jeanne with the image of the Australian singer Kylie Minogue. 30-year-old Friske was beaten from black hair and dyed light blond, which gave her more freshness. The bob, styled with light spring curls, also reminded many of the popular Australian.

In 2006, Zhanna Friske lets her hair go below her shoulders. Now the singer has much more opportunities to experiment with her appearance. She appears in music videos, TV programs and parties with evening styling, or with loose curls.

In 2008, a European touch appears in the image of Zhanna Friske. At this time, the artist looks less provocative, but does not lose her sexuality. She cuts her hair just below the shoulders, and adds gold blonde and hot copper highlights to the dark brown palette. The star's make-up becomes more restrained: the pink-peach shade of the lips and the eyes, slightly drawn in charcoal-black pencil, become invariable components of her make-up. By the way, a snow-white open smile remains the main accessory of Zhana Friske.

In 2010, the pop singer conquers the red carpets with mini dresses that barely expose legs and accentuate the neckline. At some point, the artist takes part in a photo shoot without makeup, and even without a make-up layer confirms her title as one of the most beautiful women in Russia.
