Russian Tennis Angel Anna Kournikova



Anna Sergeyevna Kournikova was born on born June 7, 1981 in Moscow, Russia (then Soviet Union) to parents Alla and Sergei Kournikov. As a child she emigrated to America with her Mother. By age 13 Kournikova was already making headlines in international juniors tennis, winning several tournaments including the 1995 Italian Open.



Kournikova made her professional tennis debut at age 14 in the Fed Cup for Russia, as the youngest player ever to participate and win. At age 15, she reached the fourth round of the 1996 U.S. Open. Kournikova could have gone all the way but her meteoric rise to the top of the sport was stopped by then-top ranked women's tennis player, Steffi Graf.



Kournikova, maintaining her russian citizenship, was a member of the Russian delegation to the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. In 1997, at 16 years old, she climbed to the semi-finals of Wimbledon, where she lost to the eventual champion, Martina Hingis by a score of 6-3, 6-2. 1998 was to be her breakthrough year, where she broke into the WTA's top 20 rankings for the first time and scored impressive victories over then large names Martina Hingis, Lindsay Davenport, and Steffi Graf. Kournikova's two Grand Slam doubles titles came in 1999 and 2002, both at the Australian Open in the Women's Doubles event with partner Martina Hingis, with whom she played frequently starting in 1999.



Kournikova lists herself as retired. Her professional tennis career has been hampered the past several years, and possibly ended, by serious back and spinal problems.

Anna was named one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2003 as well as voted "hottest female athlete" by viewers on on ESPN.com in 2002. In 2002 she also placed 1st on FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World in U.S. and UK magazine editions.

There have been rumors, though none confirmed, that she was engaged to professional hockey player Pavel Bure, that she married and divorced NHL hockey star Sergei Fedorov in 2001 (Kournikova's representatives have denied this), as well as a secret 2003 marriage to her current beau, pop star Enrique Iglesias. To this day Anna herself has consistently refused to directly confirm or deny rumors about the status of her personal relationships.

Sexy Starlet from the Ukraine, Milla Jovovich



Famous russian model, actress, designer, Milla Jovovich was born Milica Nataša Jovović on December 17, 1975 in Kiev, Ukraine ( at the time Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union). She is the daughter of Bogdan Bogdanovich Jovović, a Montenegrin Serb, and Galina Loginova, a Soviet stage actress of ethnic Russian descent.

In 1981, when Jovovich just was five years old, her family left the Soviet Union for political reasons and moved to London. Shortly there after they moved again to Sacramento, California before finally settling in Los Angeles, California seven months later. Due to the strain of frequent relocation placed on the family Jovovich's parents divorced soon after.



At the age of nine Jovovich began going to modeling auditions, and was quickly signed by Prima modeling agency. At only eleven years old Jovovich was noticed by the photographer Richard Avedon, head of marketing at Revlon. Avedon chose Jovovich to appear with models Alexa Singer and Sandra Zatezalo in Revlon's "Most Unforgettable Women in the World" campaign. More contracts soon followed. To date Milla has been the face of Banana Republic, Christian Dior, Damiani, Donna Karan, Gap, Versace, Calvin Klein, DKNY, Coach, Giorgio Armani, H&M, and Revlon.

As a theatre actress Milla's mother raised her to be a movie star. In 1985, though now a single mother struggling to scrape by, she enrolled Jovovich in the Professional Actors school in California, where Milla finished as "Best Pupil". She began landing minor acting rolls in television and movies and by 1990 got her first starring role in Return to the Blue Lagoon. The role gained her much praise as well as controversy. For her portrayal of Lili, Jovovich was nominated for both 'Best Young Actress Starring in a Motion Picture' in the 1991 Young Artist Awards, and 'Worst New Star' in the 1991 Golden Raspberry Awards. She also was dubbed "the Slavic Brooke Sheilds".



Since then her career has continued on an upward track, she has starred in many films including Chaplin, The Fith Element, The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc, Zoolander and the Resident Evil series.

Milla currently splits her time between her residences in Los Angeles and New York. She is currently engaged to American film writer and director Paul W. S. Anderson. The two met while working on Resident Evil, which Anderson wrote and directed. On November 3, 2007, Jovovich gave birth to her and Anderson's first child together, a daughter, Ever Gabo J. Anderson. Ever, a male Scottish name, was given to reflect Anderson's Scottish heritage, and the child's middle name, Gabo, was a combination of Jovovich's parent's names - the first two letters of mother's name, Galina, and the first two letters of father's name, Bogdan.

Sexy Single Star, Maria Sharapova



Maria Yuryevna Sharapova, nicknamed "Masha", was born Nyagan, Russia in 1987 (then Soviet Union). Sharapova's father, Yuri Sharapov, brought her to the United States when she was just seven years old to attend the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Bradenton, Florida. Her mother, Yelena, who was not able to go with them at the time because of visa restrictions, followed a few years later. Maria retains her Russian citizenship even though she and her family have maintained her residence in Florida since traveling to the state for training.

Maria gained great fame when in 2004 she beat favorite Serena Williams to take the Wimbledon title at the tender age of 17. Two years later, she defeated Justine Henin in the final of the 2006 U.S. Open. She also reached the final at the 2007 Australian Open.



At 6 feet 2 inches tall Maria is one of the tallest women currently in tennis. Only Lindsay Davenport has been a taller Grand Slam champion in the 21st Century.

Aside from being one of the tallest female athletes she is also one of the highest paid. In June 2005, Forbes magazine listed her as the highest-paid female athlete in the world, with annual earnings of over $18 million USD. A year later, in 2006, CBS reported in that the figure is over $20 million USD. The majority of Sharapova's earnings come from endorsements and sponsorships. In a later interview she said, "You know, one of the greatest things about being an athlete and, you know, making money is realizing that you can help, you know, help the world, and especially children, who I absolutely love working with."

Maria is currently single, her favorite male companion is her pampered pomeranian, "Dolce".

Natasha Galkina- From Sexy Russian Bride to America's Top Model



Natasha Galkina was born in 1985 in the city of Rostov, Russia. She is married to American Stuart Hagler (21 years her senior) from Texas. They are still married and live in Richardson, TX, with their daughter, Angelina.

When asked about her marriage and if she is a Mail-Order Bride Natasha has said, "You know, we have a great relationship with my husband. We met like other people meet each other. It was natural, we dated for a little bit less than a year, and I got married when I was almost 20 and after the year from the date of our marriage, and I got the beautiful baby and I was very, very happy with him." And specifically on the term Mail Order Bride, "... when they said 'mail-order bride?' I didn't even know what that was! I had to have someone tell me. And that's not what I am. You know how these men do intercontinental stuff? We dated before I came over to America."

About her husband, Stuart, she says, "He’s very romantic, he’s very nice, he takes care of me and he loves me to death and I love him very much."

Even though she was born and raised in Russia Natasha says she considers herself american because, "I'm in America and I want to represent America because this is the country that changed my life".

Natasha started out as one of the weakest contestants of the season, narrowly avoiding elimination in the second episode. But after being given the chance she quickly learned from her mistakes and soon became one of the strongest in the competition. She was voted Covergirl of the Week by viewers April 4th, April 18th and May 2nd. Her optimistic attitude, bright smile, and ability to take a strong picture bought her a spot in the final two. In the end her catwalk skills were not strong enough to take the crown and Natasha was named runner-up.

Since then she has landed a contract with Muse NYC models and has shot covers for both Modern Luxury Houston and DC magazines.
