Zhanna Friske (Russian: Жанна Фриске, born July 8, 1974 in Moscow, USSR) is a Russian film actress, singer, and socialite.

She first became famous when she joined the all-girl pop singing group Blestyashchie some time at the end of the 1990s, which she left in 2003. Friske soon embarked on a solo career as a singer and an actress, and occasional model, and keeps enjoying strong media interest. Much of this attention is based on her physical appearance, rumored relationships, and notable public appearances in risque outfits.

Internationally Friske is known for her roles in the motion pictures Night Watch and Day Watch as Alisa Donnikova. Although the 20-minute love scene involving Friske was edited from Day Watch by the director, Timur Bekmambetov, she will reappear in the last installment of the trilogy, Final Watch.

Her most successful single is Ya byla which reached the top of the Russian charts and her album was also a major success reaching the top of all Russian speaking countries.

In 2008 the well-known producer Yosif Prigozhin claimed that Friske was actually born in 1967 and not 1974 as she claims: "Zhanna Friske is forty, but she tells everyone she's thirty-five."[1]
