Biography

Yulia Menshova was born 28 July 1969 in Moscow, USSR (now Russia).

Menshova followed in her parents' footsteps, graduating from a theatrical academy and going to work at the Moscow Art Theater. Over a period of four years, she played a dozen leading roles and appeared in several movies. But just as everything was going right in her acting career, Menshova stepped off the stage and into the television studio as an editor. Soon she was tapped to host her own show, which in time became TV6's prime attraction.

Yulia Menshova has often been compared to America's Oprah Winfrey. Her women's talk show on TV6, "Ya sama" (I'll Do It Myself), regularly ruled the ratings. She is from pedigree showbiz stock. Her father, actor and director Vladimir Menshov, won the 1980 best foreign film Oscar for "Moscow Does not Believe in Tears," in which her mother, actress Vera Alentova, played the leading role.
