After a visit to Moscow, French actress Fanny Ardan was interrogated for five hours. According to People's Artist of Russia Vladimir Mashkov, at home the star was "tortured with questions about why she went to our country." According to Mashkov, the actress was outraged by this attitude.
Mashkov and Ardan have known each other for 15 years — they starred together in the film Rasputin.
"She always said that nothing in her life would make her cancel her love for our Russia. She is devoted to our literature, our art. And here, in Russia, she has millions of friends," Channel Five quotes Mashkov as saying.
Last year, the actress brought a one-man show "Thirst for Passion" to the Sovremennik Theater. The premiere was a triumph. Fanny Ardan's devotion to Russian culture was officially celebrated. On February 6, she was awarded a special award for her outstanding contribution to the development of theatrical art in Russia. The Golden Mask Special Award is traditionally awarded on March 27 — the International Theater Day.
