Aunt Asya and Tivi Parker: what happened to the heroes of the cult Star commercials

These heroes were so loved by the public that they were seen as family members!

The type of ordinary people was popular in Russian advertising in the 1990s. The characters had to be close and understandable to the audience, reminding them of neighbors or relatives. And the heroine of the Ace bleach commercial really took up residence in every household. The videos were released from 1996 to 2000. The same aunt Asya was played by Honored Artist of Russia Tatyana Tashkova, who became famous for the role of teacher Lidia Mikhailovna in the Soviet feature film French Lessons. But the role in the commercial raised her popularity to an incredible height, and the key phrase from the commercial – “Aunt Asya has arrived” – became winged and went to the people.

But the success had a catch – according to the contract, Tašková was limited in her choice of other roles, so her film career was put on hold. She started acting again in 2004 and has been doing it ever since. The actress also plays in the theater and teaches at the Moscow Institute of Theater Arts.

If you choose the sex symbol of 90s television, then the hero of the TV Park magazine ad gets quite a few votes. The languid brunette with a seductive smile was immediately remembered and loved by the audience, and the advertisement became, as one would say today, hype – because of the absurdity and paradox. The hero then lowered the press into the acid, and then boasted about the long scythe – in general, the video “blew out” the brain.

It seemed that this handsome man was found somewhere in Hollywood, but in fact he was an ordinary guy from Togliatti named Alexander Komarevtsev. Despite the charisma and success of the commercial, the actor’s film career did not develop further. He played a bit in the theater and then became an Orthodox blogger.

Another phrase that became really “popular” was heard in an advertisement for My Family juice. The role of the girl who still could not get drunk went to Diana Shpak. She was born in Los Angeles, where her parents were working at the time, but when she was two years old, the family returned to Moscow. Diana’s mother, who saw that the girl was still artistic and photogenic, sent her pictures to agencies, and soon Diana was often invited to shoot.

Diana also starred in a commercial for Kinder Surprise and is remembered by many for her role as a “lilac, ripe garden plum” in a commercial for another juice. But it was her appearance in the advertisement for “My Family” with the phrase “And you will pour and leave” that brought her not only popularity, but also the award for the best female image in 2003 at XIII. International advertising festival in Moscow. After that, Diana starred in episodic roles in TV shows, hosted a TV show, and then decided to return to the United States, where she received a certificate and began to study as a screenwriter and director. In a rare interview, Diana admitted that she does not dream of continuing her acting career, but wants to write her own works.

Everyone knows that the advertisement for the bar “Fint” became the first success for future movie stars Maria Shalaeva, Andrey Chadov and Vyacheslav Manucharov. But not everyone remembers that Aiza Anokhina (now Aiza-Liluna Ai) starred in the same commercial. She was then only 14 years old and still bore her maiden name Vagapová.

The video was popular among schoolchildren due to meme phrases such as “to anyone who knows the taste of vanilla, Masha offers friendship”, which was immediately teased by everyone in Masha’s class. Although Isa did not pursue an acting career, she remained in show business. Today, he actively maintains his own blog and appears on television.
