The famous theater artist, actress, TV presenter, parodist Elena Vorobei achieved success, despite her appearance atypical for show business, not flashy and not impressive figure parameters.
In recent years, the artist has done plastic surgeries and cosmetic procedures to correct her appearance regularly., as evidenced by changes in appearance, as seen in numerous before and after photographs.
Elena's childhood, family
Lena Lebenbaum (real name of the artist) was born in Brest, Belarus, in June 1967. The home is located not far from the Brest Fortress. The mother, who was distinguished by her pleasant appearance, was an installer at her first place of work, then she got a job as a seamstress. My father was also a typical Soviet worker, engaged in plumbing repairs in the housing office.
The family was not rich. In addition to her, there was also a younger sister, Natalya, who until now helps her with raising her daughter and is her godmother.
Initially, it was not assumed that Elena would build a career in show business. As a child, Elena studied in high school, enjoyed studying music and, despite her playful character, she was given her studies, she brought home fours and fives.
Elena Vorobei (photos before and after plastic surgery will help to understand what the artist has achieved, turning to plastic surgeons) were remembered for their characteristic profile, "Brest nose", as the artist herself jokes.
In an interview, she says that she has been working on the profile since childhood, regularly falling from window sills, in playgrounds, which is why even minor scars remained on her face. Despite the complexes, she decided to correct the defect at a fairly mature age, at 40, already at the peak of her career, having given birth to a daughter.
The talent for parody showed up early. At school, Elena parodied teachers and even forged the signatures of teachers, thanks to which she enjoyed popularity and respect among students.
Elena decided on a profession early, but her parents wanted her daughter to receive a more practical education. Despite the fact that she left Brest early, she managed to finish the Brest music school, where she entered after the 8th grade in order to become a music teacher at the request of her parents in the future.
During the same period, she went on an excursion to St. Petersburg, then Leningrad, and the city sunk into her soul so much that she continued her studies in this city.
First steps in creativity
When the last exams were passed and the diploma of graduation from the music school was in her hands, Elena went to enter the Leningrad Theater Institute. However, it was not possible to enter the first time. Elena submitted documents three times. And she took the institute by storm on the third attempt.
Theatrical university brought her both experience and first disappointments. Behind the artist's back, they discussed her appearance, but openly until a certain time she did not have to hear criticism. For the first time, a teacher of a theatrical university made a remark to her, reprimanding for the fact that she chooses too lyrical songs, not in appearance.
"You are funny, not beautiful," he inadvertently threw, and thanks to this Elena made the final decision to become a clown. Worries about appearance faded into the background.
Her career began within the walls of the university. During this period, she meets Galtsev, Vetrov, Vetlitskaya and grabs their offer of cooperation. They called her to the Buff Comedy Theater.
The parodist would not think for a long time, since already at that time she perfectly understood that in order for her talent to be noticed, it was necessary to perform in front of the audience, this is the only way to win the love of the public. Acquaintance with the artists of the "Full House" became fateful. This meeting brought her fame, made her famous.
Creative activity
She won her first prize at the actor's song competition dedicated to Andrei Mironov in 1992, at the age of 25. Then she performed in the form of a clown and became a laureate. And already in 1993, at the age of 26, she took part in the Yalta-Moscow-Transit competition, where actors, singers - famous people of show business gathered, and won the Grand Prix.
In one of the first interviews she gave after rehearsal, she looks confident and calm, despite the responsibility, excitement and rivalry that awaits her. She is sure that Moscow will soon submit to her, and not only her. In addition to the jury, Elena managed to win the hearts of the audience, she was awarded the Audience Award.
The jury members did not immediately decide to give the Grand Prix to the parodist, and all because of the name Lebaum, then she did not yet have a pseudonym... It was after the competition, according to the story of Irina Ponarovskaya, that Elena was advised to take a pseudonym. The stage name was chosen together with Vladimir Vinokur. In Elena's head, the image of a sparrow from the song of Edith Piaf always popped up.
In addition, Elena herself performed this song when she parodied the artist in the theater, the singer's pseudonym is translated as "sparrow" and in childhood the parodist was often called a sparrow. This image suited Elena's character in the best way. This is how Elena Vorobei was “born”.
It would have been possible to continue performing in competitions, but this required money, which was not available, and the girl had to return to St. Petersburg. But fate decided to finally turn to face her, since Alla Pugacheva drew attention to her, long considered among the artists the discoverer of talents.
In 1998, Elena Vorobei performed at her "Christmas evenings" and the artist began to be recognized on the streets. The repeated invitation to the "Christmas Meetings" left no doubt that Elena will be popular.
During her career, Sparrow parodied many stars, including Pugachev, Vaikule, Leontiev, Rasputin. In total, she has created over a hundred parodies.
And despite the fact that she parodies the artists, she has developed friendly relations with many. In 2000, at the invitation of Alexander Dostman, Elena starred in the "Full House" on a permanent basis. She made joint performances with many artists of the "Full House".
I especially remembered her numbers with Y. Galtsev, G. Vetrov, S. Drobotenko, I. Mamenko. Together with Gennady Vetrov, she hosted Saturday Evening for two years. The last appearances on the stage she spent making up Alla Pugacheva. The artist assesses her work as difficult, since the audience prejudices the performance in advance and in the first minutes assess whether they donated money in vain. But she not only performs on stage, but also acts in films.
For the first time she starred in the film "Angelica Passion" in 1993, then there was the film "The Body Will Be Buried" in 1998, where Elena played the maid, then there were about 15 more films, not counting numerous works on television, including New Year's musicals, " Two Stars ”,“ Repeat ”,“ Dancing with the Stars ”,“ Three Chords ”.
In 2005, the artist became the best actress of the year, and in 2012 she became the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation. Despite the great creative employment, Elena Vorobei is the head of her own theater, which employs 7 people.
Personal life
Elena Vorobei, despite her non-standard appearance, has always been popular with men. According to the artist, before her first real marriage, she had several fictitious marriages.Elena met her first husband, Andrei Kislyuk, while still a student, when the parodist worked at the Buff Theater. After living and working together for 10 years, they broke up.
The singer has a daughter Sophia, she was born in 2003. Her father, Igor Konstantinovich, was married at that time and lived in St. Petersburg, he already had two sons. Subsequently, he divorced his wife, but he did not offer Elena to marry herself. He found family happiness with another woman, however, he helped Sparrow buy housing in the capital. He saw his child only once a year on her birthday.
In 2016, taking part in the "Secret for a Million" program, the actress said that Igor Konstantinovich had recently died as a result of a skull fracture, which he received after falling from the roof of a house. He lay in a coma for several months, then there were some improvements, but, in the end, it was not possible to save him. Elena did not share the inheritance with her relatives.
In the same studio, she said that she used men for career growth. She was rumored to have had many affairs, including with an Australian entrepreneur and television producer named Kirill.
The last romance with A. Kalischuk turned into an unofficial marriage. He is a sound engineer by profession. They first met when he decided to go to work for her in the theater. At first, she did not attach importance to their meeting, but over time, Alexander managed to show himself as a loving man, and as a husband, and as a father. They still live together.
In the last year, Elena began to appear less on screens, according to her, due to her daughter's health problems. Sofia was born prematurely and had a lot of pain in childhood, and not so long ago she developed back problems - scoliosis. In 2018, she underwent a successful spinal surgery at a German clinic.
Plastic surgery: rhinoplasty and mammoplasty
Elena Vorobei (photos before and after plastics prove how prettier a woman has become) has amused the audience for several years, but her own appearance haunted her. I wanted to look not only funny, but also young, femininely sexy.
Only in 2007, Elena decided to correct her nose. According to rumors, it was not possible to achieve an impeccable result the first time. Again, according to information from unverified sources, the artist did rhinoplasty with the famous stellar surgeon - Andrei Rybakin, and the surgeon was not sure until the last whether the artist would like the result.
"Nothing unexpected happened" - this is how Sparrow reacted when she first saw her new nose without a bandage.
The artist's nose was too long and wide. Thanks to the efforts of plastic surgeons, it has become thinner. In the operating room, not only the bridge of the nose was corrected, but also its tip, making it sleeker. Rhinoplasty has done its job, the result has significantly transformed the face of the artist. It began to look sleeker and more pretty.
Elena Vorobei (photos before and after plastic surgery give an opportunity to see how well the surgeons worked) took part in the program "Tonight", which is hosted by Maxim Galkin. A fragment of the recording was shown on the air, where Elena communicates with Sergey Minaev, where she was still with her natural data. Maxim Galkin noted this fact, Elena was embarrassed, although she tried not to show it.
In 2010, Elena decided to turn to plastic surgery again, but now in order to enlarge her breasts.
She came to the clinic asking "Is there any hope?" and they helped her. Everything turned out very well. Elena's breasts were small, and after a late birth she lost her shape.
According to the artist, plastic was necessary to look spectacular in dresses with a neckline.
She dreamed about this for a long time, in her own words. And breast augmentation has also been successful. However, the artist resorted to this correction option twice, the second time in 2012.
As a result, the chest has increased by two sizes, while the figure has acquired beautiful proportions.
The artist guessed the operation for the new year, thus making herself a gift. Elena Vorobei's new breasts made a splash behind the scenes and in the dressing rooms, among the artists on the set of the New Year's program "Parade of Stars".
Elena did not hide new forms, put on outfits emphasizing the changes, posed for photos in glossy magazines. Many discussed the changes behind their backs, but some asked openly, being surprised at the cardinal changes. At first Elena was only joking, hiding the truth, but the answer was obvious and, in the end, she confirmed that she had enlarged her breasts with a plastic surgeon.
However, Sparrow heard not only admiring comments, but also criticism. Some felt that the new breasts did not fit into the role of a clown, and would be more suitable for the image of a femme fatale... But the parodist completely disagrees with the criticism. In her opinion, with big breasts, it became easier for her to parody some artists, for example Masha Rasputina.
Elena Vorobei is a successful and sought-after artist, actress who was able to get rid of her own complexes with the help of plastic surgery. Her peculiar appearance did not interfere with the growth of her popularity, but now she has turned into a very attractive woman. How much money she had to spend on turning from an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan, only her colleagues in the shop know.
What other plastic surgeries and cosmetic procedures were
The actress is already aged, therefore, in addition to plastic surgery, she also resorts to cosmetic procedures that allow you to get rid of facial and age wrinkles.
from the photo Experts have determined that the artist makes Botox injections, correcting the nasolabial folds, working through the area at the base of the nose bridge with injections.
Mesotherapy for dark circles, wrinkles and bruises under the eyes were also most likely carried out by the artist several times, as evidenced by the rejuvenated appearance.
And this is another step towards beauty and youth, which in general gave a noticeable effect. The slenderness of the woman was also improved. As the inner circle says, Sparrow also acquired slender legs through the efforts of plastic surgeons.
The artist managed to make her way to fame not with her beautiful face, but with her artistry and humor. Her career before and after plastic surgery did not change significantly. However, judging by the way Elena Vorobei answered the question in the program "We speak and show," she still had one complex: "These are not long enough legs."
The growth of the artist is small, only 158 cm with a weight of 60 kg. She looks miniature in the photo. But the dream of tall stature and long legs is likely to remain unfulfilled.
This is how the beauties artificially created by plastic surgeons tire. It's scary if everyone gets infected with this. Poor men, what your children will be like, you will know only after birth. So tired of this TV freak show. You look and do not understand who is on the screen after plastic surgery. Creepy dolls. What is their attraction ????
