In 2015, Russian show business experienced a terrible event and lost one of the most talented artists of our time. At the age of 40, after a long struggle with a terrible disease, the famous singer, wife and mother, Zhanna Friske, passed away. Her death has become, perhaps, the most discussed topic in the domestic media. The audience is trying to understand why Zhanna Friske died and how it happened. Every day after the death of the singer, this event was overgrown with new, sometimes even scandalous facts.
For fans, this woman was an object of admiration, and for her family - a loving mother and wife. Of course, after the death of the artist, a number of different questions remained. For example, the audience was interested in how and at what time Zhanna Friske died. The favorite of the public died on the evening of June 15, 2015. At that time she was 40 years old, until her next birthday, the woman did not live only a few weeks. At the time of her death, her father, mother, friend and colleague, as well as her own sister Natalya, were next to the artist. The singer's husband and son were abroad at that moment.
Causes of death
The question of what Zhanna Friske died of is still relevant. In reality, there is nothing criminal in the death of the artist. The singer died due to a brain tumor, which was discovered 2 years before the terrible event. Back in early 2014, in one of his interviews, Zhanna's common-law husband, Dmitry Shepelev, told the press about the disease diagnosed in his wife after giving birth. Friske learned about her illness in the fall of 2013, after which she immediately began treatment.
After information about an inoperable tumor diagnosed in Zhanna surfaced in the media, Channel One announced a fundraiser for therapy. In just a few days, we managed to collect 68 million rubles. There was even a lot of this money - the singer personally transferred the remaining funds to children suffering from oncology. The collected money allowed Friske to travel to the United States and China for treatment. Upon returning to her homeland, Zhanna left for the Baltic States, where she underwent a rehabilitation course.
After recovering, Friske began to see again, got rid of the extra pounds gained during chemotherapy, and even got out of a wheelchair. The artist said that she was much better, and thanked everyone who helped her. However, soon the Friske family was overtaken by trouble - Jeanne's condition deteriorated sharply, she was almost completely blind.
The singer's father, Vladimir Kopylov, after the death of his daughter, attended several television programs. In one of the issues, he talked about how Zhanna Friske died. In his words, the celebrity passed away very quietly and calmly. Relatives knew about the impending disaster a few days before Jeanne's death - this was warned by doctors from China who came to visit the artist. In recent days, the singer suffered from high fever and incredibly severe pain that was hard to endure. Before her death, Friske stopped recognizing her relatives. The tragic event took place on the night of June 15-16 - Jeanne's breathing stopped.
Information about the death of a celebrity hit the press the next morning. All printed publications published articles on the pages of newspapers and magazines in memory of a wonderful person and an excellent artist. Friends and colleagues on the stage considered it their duty to leave messages on social networks with condolences for Jeanne's family.
Star biography
The future singer was born on July 8, 1974 in the capital of Russia. At school, she was fond of acrobatics, ballet, rhythmic gymnastics and ballroom dancing. After graduating from school, she entered the Faculty of Journalism. True, she never completed her studies.
In 1995, famous producers Shlykov and Grozny organized one of the first domestic women's groups, which was named "Brilliant". At first, Zhanna was the artistic director of the group, and then she became a soloist with Irina Lukyanova and Olga Orlova.
Career
In 2003, the future celebrity got into an extreme reality show called "The Last Hero" and reached the very end. Returning to the capital, Zhanna decided to leave the band and start a solo career. The producer of the group, Andrei Grozny, helped Frisk in this. The star released her first solo album in 2005 - it featured many songs that later became real hits.
In addition to performing on stage and recording songs, Friske starred in various cinematic works. So, the first project with Zhanna's participation was the film "Night Watch". The star's partners on the set were famous actors: Khabensky, Markova, Verzhbitsky. This was followed by several more works: "Day Watch", "New Year's Matchmakers", "Who am I", "What Men Talk About" and "Classmates. Call Luck". The singer's fans and film critics praised her acting skills. In 2006, Friske received a prestigious award in the category "Best Actress" at the Russian MTV festival.
Personal life
A beautiful, sexy, talented artist was credited with many scandalous novels. However, there were not so many really important men in the singer's life. The first boyfriend of Friske, journalists confidently call a businessman from Chelyabinsk Ilya Mitelman. The couple's relationship lasted for several years, and reporters did not stop writing about the upcoming wedding. But, as they say, it did not work out - Zhanna and Ilya parted.
Jeanne's next relationship began in 2005. This time, the popular hockey player Alexander Ovechkin became the chosen one of the beauty. But this novel did not become successful for Friske - the athlete was constantly accused of having love affairs on the side.
Then another athlete appeared in the singer's life - figure skater Vitaly Novikov, with whom Zhanna performed on the Ice Age show. But this romance did not end with a wedding.
But the relationship with the famous artist Dmitry Shepelev fulfilled the cherished dream of Friske: finally, the successful singer gave birth to a child. In 2013, Jeanne became a mother - the couple named their son Plato.
Last year
The singer spent the last months of her life in her country house in the suburbs. At this time, next to Zhanna were her parents, close friends, common-law husband and son, who at that time was just 2 years old. According to sister Friske, her death was a real surprise for the whole family. Until the last moment they believed that she would recover and return to normal life.
On the evening of June 15, when Zhanna Friske died, her parents, sister and girlfriends were next to her. In the morning, all print media in Moscow expressed their grief over the loss of the singer on the pages of magazines and newspapers. By this time, it was no longer a secret to anyone what Zhanna Friske died of. The funeral of the star took place on June 18 at the Nikolo-Arkhangelsk cemetery. The ceremony took place in a narrow circle, without the press.
For several months now I have been watching the media all "chew" the opinion of Zhanna Friske's father that the cause of his daughter's oncological disease was IVF done to her. I understand and share the grief of Vladimir Borisovich; I think that there can be no greater misfortune in a person's life than to bury his child. It is also natural and understandable to desire to find those responsible for what happened - purely psychologically, it is easier to experience misfortune, transforming your grief into anger directed at some "culprit of the misfortune." And yet, realizing all this, every time it is unpleasant to open the daily press review and read something like “the cause of Friske’s death is IVF” ... However, realizing the complexity of the situation, I did my best to refrain from public comments on this topic. And this is despite the fact that he has repeatedly cited data from various studies that unequivocally indicate that hormonal stimulation of superovulation, carried out during IVF, cannot cause cancer. And finally I came across more or less objective material on the topic, I bring it to your attention.
In medical circles, "in a whisper" they are discussing that Zhanna Friske's oncology could have been provoked by an in vitro fertilization procedure, which the singer resorted to to give birth to Plato's son. We talked with a specialist and found out whether IVF can really provoke the development of cancer?
The discussion on this topic has been going on for a long time. A rare and very dangerous tumor, glioblastoma, was diagnosed in the singer shortly after giving birth. The wife of Konstantin Khabensky, Anastasia, who tragically passed away at the age of 35, also had brain cancer, and she was also diagnosed with IVF, and she was also diagnosed only after childbirth. But, according to doctors, in both cases, the tumors were even before pregnancy, just no one knew about them. In the course of studies that have been carried out for almost four decades (the first test-tube baby was born in 1978), doctors and scientists have not found concrete evidence of a direct relationship between IVF and cancer.
According to some reports, in women who have undergone IVF in the past, after a few years, hormone-dependent tumors are more often diagnosed (brain cancer does not apply to them), but this statistics is not very indicative. For example, as shown by a long-term study of Australian scientists, hormone-dependent cancer was diagnosed in 15 women out of 10,000 who underwent IVF, and in 11 and 10,000 women who did not resort to it (the difference is within the statistical error - Sergey Lebedev's note). Today, doctors advise not to panic, but also not to relax, because many of the women who are not able to become pregnant naturally and decide on in vitro fertilization may initially have health problems that make them predisposed to both infertility and cancer. Therefore, a full examination before the procedure is mandatory. Before each IVF, it is advised to take tests for tumor markers. Any pregnancy is a big load on the body, and with IVF this load increases many times over, and diseases, including hidden ones, can worsen.
VALENTINOVA NATALIA NIKOLAEVNA, GYNECOLOGIST-ENDOCRINOLOGIST, MAMMOLOGIST, MOROZOVSKY CHILDREN'S CITY CLINICAL HOSPITAL:
In vitro fertilization cannot initiate or provoke the onset of the development of cancer during pregnancy. But IVF can stimulate the progress of an already existing tumor in the body. In addition, do not forget that any pregnancy - natural or with the help of IVF - causes a strong change in hormonal levels, patients who are undergoing treatment for infertility, as well as those who have undergone IVF in order to reduce the likelihood of miscarriage, in addition to this, receive large doses of the female hormone estrogen. And some cancers (for example, breast cancer, endometrial cancer) are hormone-dependent.
This is, in fact, what any self-respecting and knowledgeable specialist should have said. IVF could not be the cause of the disease in the singer; obviously she already suffered from glioblastoma at the time of the IVF procedure. And then another question arises: did Jeanne know about this? And if she knew, what decision would she make? Was this a case of an undiagnosed illness at the time, or could it be a conscious decision of the singer - to leave life behind herself, albeit at the cost of several years of her life? But this is all from the realm of speculation, and we will never know the answer.
And I am writing about this solely for one purpose. Whether we like it or not, what happens to famous people, consciously or subconsciously, greatly influences our attitude to the problem that this famous person faced, as if everything happened to a person close to you. Therefore, in this case, it is very important that those women who are now making the decision - to do IVF or not - objectively and correctly assess the risks, using not the idle gossip of journalists, but the opinion of professionals.
"I'm flying into the dark"
For more than a year, Zhanna Friske has been trying to defeat brain cancer. I could not. On Monday, at ten in the evening, the singer was gone. Zhanna passed away at her parents' house in Balashikha. The family of the singer and her doctors told us about the tragedy. However, the circumstances of Jeanne's death are not fully clarified.
Zhanna Friske's father Vladimir Borisovich was the first to report her death. ...
Vladimir Borisovich, recently information has appeared in the press that Zhanna is on the mend. And here - such a tragedy ...
In fact, Zhannochka has been in a coma for the past three months. But we did not want to tell anyone about this, so that we would not be disturbed.
- She had time to say goodbye to you?
- When she fell into a coma, the doctors told you that most likely this is the end?
Initially, even when she fell ill, the doctors told us that there was no hope. But she fought. And we believed. If I myself had not seen that she was dead, I would not have been with her, I still would not have believed that she was not. She was so strong.
- Who was next to Jeanne at that moment?
Relatives and two girlfriends: Olya Orlova and Ksyusha.
- All this happened in the house in Balashikha, or was Zhanna in the hospital, in intensive care?
Yes. Houses. No hospital took us. They said it was very difficult. Jeanne's fame just played a role. If it happened in their hospital, it would not be very good for them.
- With whom will your grandson stay, Plato?
God only knows. We are not going to conflict. If a child is trusted to us, we will educate him. If not, what can we do? There is no Jean.
A few months ago, information appeared that Zhanna and Dmitry Shepelev want to get married. Did they manage to do it?
How, being in a coma, could Jeanne stay at home? After all, to maintain life, special devices are needed, a lot of medicines ...
According to media reports, Jeanne died at half past ten in the evening on Monday, June 15. An ambulance was called to the house in Balashikha only after midnight - and it is said that it was not Jeanne's relatives who called her, but her.
When we called Olga Orlova, she said that she could find the strength and tell sad details only after her friend's funeral.
- Why did you not call an ambulance right away?- we asked Olga.
Now I'm not ready to answer you ...
The only thing Olga explained was that Zhanna did not have a medical nurse.
According to Zhanna's sister, Natalia Friske, a private nurse was hired to take care of Zhanna, but she ... ran away. Natalia herself and the singer's mother took care of her sister. Why the doctors were called only almost three hours after Jeanne died? There are no answers to these questions yet.
Dmitry Shepelev: "We did not give up and fought"
The common-law husband and father of Zhanna Platon's child, Dmitry Shepelev, when Friske died, was in Bulgaria with her son, having flown there the day before the tragic event. In the environment of Friske, they said that it was impossible to leave, knowing about the critical condition of his wife.
Dmitry should fly to his wife's funeral, but he will leave Plato in Bulgaria, Natalia Friske said. And in the future, it is the father who intends to deal with Plato.
A few hours after it became known about the death of Jeanne, Dmitry Shepelev made his first statement to the public. On Facebook, he, which was given to her for all two years, when the woman was fighting a serious illness.
"I firmly know that we could not have coped without you. I want to thank everyone: who donated money for Jeanne's treatment, prayed for her health, just thought about her, wished you happiness and strength. I want you to know: these two years - in many respects your merit. Thank you! I wish health to you, your loved ones. And in the near future I would like to focus on helping those who, like us, do not give up and are fighting for health and life, "wrote Dmitry.
He also gave vent to his feelings and, albeit briefly, made the last declaration of love: “We have always repeated:“ Happiness loves silence. ”I remain true to these words, because Jeanne remains for me absolute, pure, unique happiness. We did not give up and fought to win. They say that 2 years in such a situation is a lot. But, of course, for us it is very little. "
Many people from different countries, including Ukraine, responded to this recording by Dmitry. They all express deep condolences to Jeanne's husband. “Dima, we are with you! Hold on, please. My condolences. Tears. She was wonderful. Bright memory...".
"And if we can help with something, let me know."
"Rest in peace! Everlasting memory! Strength to you, Dmitry! You have a son, and he is now the most important thing in your life! He is your eternity, your incredible happiness! And in him you will always see a piece of Jeanne! "
Zhanna and Dmitry Shepelev began dating in 2011. On April 7, 2013, their son Plato was born. The couple never officially got married.
During his illness, Dmitry supported Zhanna and collected money for her treatment - all his earnings went to pay doctors.
Chief oncologist of Russia: "Alas, Jeanne did not have a chance to survive"
The director of the cancer center on Kashirka, that in the last three months Zhanna was treated there.
Mikhail Ivanovich, at the beginning of last year, Zhanna Friske turned to you to confirm (or refute) her terrible diagnosis - brain cancer, its rare form - glioblastoma. And so Jeanne was gone. Was this ending inevitable?
Unfortunately, with this diagnosis, yes. The maximum that a person with such a disease can live is one and a half years.
- Is there really no escape from this terrible glioblastoma anywhere in the world?
Alas, so far nowhere.
Why, then, all cancer patients seek to get treatment abroad (to Germany, USA), where, by the way, Zhanna received treatment? What is there in Russia, what is there?
- "There" - everything is the same as here. Cancer treatment regimens are the same everywhere, they have already been worked out to the smallest detail: radiation and chemotherapy are used. Someone says that drugs for chemistry are better abroad. But we also have the same imported drugs.
And why did Zhanna Friske leave for treatment in the USA, and then to Germany? Her friends took care of this, collected money - Zhanna is a well-known person in Russia. Friends wanted to help her, they wanted the best. And, thank God, that today a person has the opportunity to choose where to receive treatment. But, I repeat, the methods of cancer treatment both in Russia and abroad are the same.
- Zhanna, as far as I know, was treated in your center?
Yes, she has been undergoing outpatient treatment with us in the last three months. We used all supportive therapy possible for this. But, unfortunately, she didn't help either.
- What could provoke cancer in Friske? Could her pregnancy, in particular, have been affected by IVF?
IVF only accelerated the growth of a tumor already present in the brain. In general, any pregnancy acts as a provocateur of many diseases, to which a person has a predisposition. And even more so IVF, when there is a powerful hormonal attack on the body. And even more so if a person has a tumor (Friske could already have it). Perhaps this tumor was very small. IVF and provoked its growth. After all, her headaches began immediately after the birth of the child.
What other factors can provoke oncology in humans, besides the known ones - radiation, heredity? Is there a suggestion that even a mobile phone can affect the growth of cancer cells?
There is no reliable confirmation of this yet.
It is known that of all oncological diseases, brain tumors account for only one and a half percent. Is it difficult to detect? Or are there other reasons?
Indeed, a brain tumor is a rather rare disease. Especially in adults. It is more often detected in children. Approximately 20% of children have tumors of the central nervous system. But in all, it is not immediately detected.
- What symptoms should you pay attention to?
Alert should be a prolonged headache, dizziness, visual impairment (this was the case with Friske), impaired limb sensitivity, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, impaired memory and speech ...
Creativity and mysticism: "One icy heart"
After the death of celebrities, many begin to talk about secret omens and mystical coincidences. The creativity of the artists themselves often provides food for such reflections. In the case of Zhanna Friske, it was also not without mysticism.
Friske recorded one of her last songs as a duet with singer and composer Dmitry Malikov. It contained the following lines: "The snow is quietly falling on the palm of your hand and melts, it’s not easy for me now, I miss you so much."
Malikov thinks these are touching. The song was recorded at a time when Zhanna was leaving for the USA, she had a very difficult birth, and then she suddenly fell ill. Malikov told LifeNews that the news of Friske's death shocked and shocked him.
A mysterious subtext manifested itself in many of Jeanne's famous songs - she sang about loneliness, flying into the darkness, the icy beat of her heart in the labyrinth of rooms ...
"La-la-la"
Let's go with you there
Where there is neither snow nor rain
Where will we be alone
Where will it be just you and me
"I'm flying into the dark"
Lots of light
This is what I think of darkness
This city
Brighter in their lights than in the light
By the night they fly
They sit on the magic shine
Someone, and I already
I'm flying into the dark
And shimmer on the fly
I'm flying into the dark
And shimmer on the fly
"There are pieces of ice on the lips"
I know what's going on
When the labyrinths of rooms
Yesterday fades into darkness
Again nothing happened
While quietly knocking on me
One frozen heart: knock, knock, knock
Zhanna Friske played the witch Alice in The Night Watch, an adaptation of the science fiction novel by Sergei Lukyanenko. The actors of this film were plagued by misfortune. Maria Poroshina (the sorceress Svetlana) almost broke her leg right during the filming process, and her colleague Anna Dubrovskaya, who played the vampire Larissa, fell ill with a temperature of forty degrees. Rimma Markova was hospitalized with pneumonia. The leading actor Konstantin Khabensky was bitten by a Doberman. And at the very beginning of filming, Khabensky's father died of a cancerous tumor. Lost his father and film producer Alexei Kublitsky ...
Last way
Zhanna Friske will most likely be buried at the Nikolo-Arkhangelsk cemetery on June 18. At the cemetery directorate, we were told that Jeanne's relatives are now negotiating to provide a place for burial - this requires permission from the Moscow Department of Trade and Services.
The churchyard is located not far from Balashikha, where Zhanna lived recently and where, in the house of her relatives, she died.
As explained to "MK" in the management of the cemetery, there is no family-ancestral grave for Friske's relatives on the Nikolo-Arkhangelsk churchyard. But the singer's relatives, most likely, will not buy land either.
Most likely, this will be a burial site authorized by the Department of Trade and Services. Now, as far as we know, the singers' relatives are agreeing to provide a place.
The directorate clarified: usually such graves are provided in case of death of veterans of the Great Patriotic War, heroes.
But if the singer's relatives manage to get permission, we will give them a place.
Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye cemetery is one of the largest in Moscow. In addition to war heroes and heroes of Russia, sailors who died on the Kursk submarine, many artists are buried there - Radier Muratov, who played the role of Vasily Alibabaevich in Gentlemen of Fortune, artistic director of the Moscow Art Theater Association, Gennady Yalovich, actress Iya Arepina and bard Victor Berkovsky.
Zhanna Vladimirovna Friske (Kopylova) - soloist of the "Brilliant" group from 1996 to 2003. From 2003 to 2013, she built a solo career. She starred in the films "Night Watch", "What Men Talk About", participated in the reality show "The Last Hero", was the host of the project "Vacations in Mexico".
Childhood and family
In 1973, the fateful meeting of the future parents of Zhanna Friske took place: an employee of the Moscow House of Arts, Vladimir Friske, collided on one of the capital's streets with Olga Kopylova, a smiling and energetic Cossack from the Urals. Four months after they met, stamps appeared in their passports indicating the beginning of family life. The happy groom took the bride's surname and became Vladimir Kopylov. 
A year later, the couple stunned their relatives with good news: Olga Kopylova became pregnant. On July 8, 1974, the royal twins were born. The boy and girl were born in the seventh month of pregnancy; Jeanne's brother had a congenital intestinal pathology - he could not survive.
Vladimir was strict with his eldest daughter and did not allow her to waste time: Zhanna was engaged in ballet, sports dancing, rhythmic gymnastics, acrobatics, and participated in school performances.
In 1986, the Friske-Kopylov family increased - their second daughter Natasha was born. Despite the 12-year age difference, the sisters became real friends. The youngest Kopylova also showed herself as a creative person: she was engaged in singing and dancing.
In her senior year, her father took Zhanna to audition for Mosfilm. The tests were unsuccessful, but Vladimir nevertheless pushed his daughter to the shooting of commercials about vacuum cleaners and sports equipment.
In 1991, Zhanna graduated from school No. 406 in Perovo and entered the Moscow Humanitarian Institute, preferring the Faculty of Journalism. Three years later, the girl left the university without receiving the coveted crust. In search of earnings, she got a job as a secretary in a construction company, and then became a teacher of plastics and choreography.
"Shiny"
In 1996, Zhanna Kopylova met the producer Andrei Gromov, who at that time was engaged in the girlish pop project "Brilliant". At that time, the group included Olga Orlova, Polina Iodis and Varvara Koroleva. Andrei knew that Zhanna was professionally engaged in dancing, and invited the girl to the position of a choreography consultant. 
In the same year, the "Brilliant" released their first solo album "There, Only There" and were ready to go on a tour across Russia, but before the start of the tour, Varvara announced that she was leaving the group for the sake of family happiness. In her place came the soloist Irina Lukyanova, and in May 1997 Grozny suggested introducing the fourth "sparkle" - Zhanna.
The girl needed a pseudonym; as a stage name, Jeanne took a sonorous and rather well-known father's surname. Despite this step, at first Vladimir was upset by the career choice of his eldest daughter, but when it became clear that the fiery quartet was just right for the Russian stage, he changed his anger to mercy.
Brilliant - "And I flew all the time"
Together with Zhanna Friske "Brilliant" recorded four albums: the disc "Just Dreams" in 1998, two years later - the album "About Love". It was followed by "Over the Four Seas" and "Orange Paradise", which, in fact, was a collection of covers of popular Soviet songs. During the recording of Orange Paradise, there was no one left from the original composition of the Brilliant: Ksenia Novikova, Anna Semenovich and Yulia Kovalchuk were now singing with Zhanna.
The album became Zhanna's final project as part of the "Brilliant". The reason for leaving was prosaic - the girl realized that she had "outgrown" the period of the girl band and decided to devote time to her solo career.
Solo career
In October 2005, Zhanna's debut solo album was released, recorded with the participation of Andrei the Terrible and Sergei Haruta. The record was modestly called "Jeanne" and consisted of 9 original songs and four remixes. The compositions "La-la-la", "Somewhere in the summer" and "I'm flying into the dark", which were actively rotated on radio and music channels, hit the top of the charts. In 2006, in collaboration with Andrei Gubin, the album was reissued, supplemented by three video clips and a couple of new remixes.Zhanna Friske - I was
The album remained Zhanna's only solo album, but there was no talk of stopping her singing career: Friske released 17 singles in collaboration with major Russian pop stars: the hit track "Malinki" with the guys from "Disco Crash", "Western" with Tanya Tereshina, "You are near" together with Djigan, "Snow is Falling Quietly" with Dmitry Malikov. The last single "Love Wanted" was released in 2015, shortly before the singer's death.
Film and television
In 2003, shortly before leaving the "Brilliant" Friske took part in the fourth season of the reality show "The Last Hero". After spending several months on a desert island somewhere in South America, the girl steadfastly withstood all the hardships of the wild life, although there were many dangerous episodes, for example, once Nikolai Drozdov accidentally poisoned the show participants with poisonous frogs caught by DeTsl, assuring teammates that with the skin removed amphibians will be completely edible. In addition, Jeanne was allergic to exotic plants. Friske reached the final, but lost the title of the winner to Yana Volkova. Returning to Moscow, rested and inspired by the new experience, the girl terminated her contract with the group and began working on material for a solo album. 
In 2004, Timur Bekmambetov's blockbuster Night Watch, based on the novel of the same name by Sergei Lukyanenko, was released. Although Zhanna's heroine was called Alisa Donnikova, it was understood that the freedom-loving and intelligent witch-singer was Friske herself. In the epic tape, the girl showed the insidious side of her character: while Konstantin Khabensky was trying to remove the curse from the heroine Maria Poroshina, Zhanna convinced the young "other" Yegor to take the dark side.
Friske did not stop at her successful acting debut in Night Watch: in 2005, the sequel to the saga about the confrontation between Light and Dark was released. This time Bekmambetov devoted more screen time to Zhanna's heroine, forcing the girl to choose between the dark lord Zavulon, the character of Viktor Verzhbitsky, and the young vampire Kostya, the hero of Alexei Chadov. The role earned her an MTV award for Best Actress 2006.
In 2010, fans saw Friske in two films. The first is the psychological drama "Who am I?" with the participation of Alexander Yatsenko and Sergey Gazarov. Zhanna appears in the memoirs of Pasha Matveyev, who has lost his memory, and is suspected of murder. The film was not subjected to sharp criticism, but also did not receive rave reviews, hiding without a trace among the number of mediocre films by Klim Shipenko.
But another project - Dmitry Dyachenko's comedy "What Men Talk About", filmed in the genre of road movie, grossed $ 12 million in the Russian box office and received hundreds of laudatory reviews. In the center of the plot are the participants of the “I Quartet” (Leonid Barats, Alexander Demidov and others), who decided to spend a real “men's” weekend away from the city and family. Friske played herself, and the cameo came out very self-ironic.
"What Men Talk About", scene with Zhanna Friske
In 2011, Friske became the host of the reality show "Holidays in Mexico", however, due to the heavy workload, she refused to participate in the second season of the project, transferring the post to the ex-participant of "House-2" Alena Vodonaeva.
Zhanna Friske's personal life
The singer's personal life has always been interested in Russian and foreign tabloids. Over the years of her career, she was credited with a relationship with the leader of the group "Reckless Scammers" Sergei Amoralov, lead singer of Hi-Fi Mitya Fomin. There were gossips that it was not professional relations that connected her with Dmitry Nagiyev. However, there was never any official confirmation from Friske herself, or at least from the ubiquitous paparazzi. 
At the beginning of her career, the singer met with the entrepreneur Ilya Mitelman, who often acted as a sponsor of the girl's projects, but it never came to a wedding.
In 2006, Zhanna began an affair with hockey player Alexander Ovechkin, but her partner chose to get carried away by another "ex-brilliant", Ksenia Novikova.
Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev: a love story
Since August 2011, the media began to "match" Friske with Dmitry Shepelev. For some time, Zhanna denied her relationship with the TV presenter, and Shepelev had an alleged common-law wife living in Kiev, so the majority agreed that this whole story was nothing more than a thoughtful PR of the singer's marketers. 
In January 2012, the paparazzi caught them while on a joint vacation in Miami - the stars, unaware of the surveillance, clearly showed feelings for each other. Then there was the story of the SPA-salon, where the couple went to the May Day holidays with a "program for two."
When the long-awaited first child was born to the 38-year-old singer in April 2013, she had to confirm that Shepelev was indeed the father of the child and her lover. The happy parents and the boy, who was named Plato, spent several months in Miami, and upon returning to Moscow, they began to plan a wedding.
However, the ceremony was not destined to take place. In January 2014, the media reported that the star was terminally ill. Many considered the news a blasphemous "newspaper duck", but soon the singer's relatives and partner confirmed the terrible diagnosis - glioblastoma, an inoperable fourth-degree brain cancer. Zhanna learned about the disease during her pregnancy, but refused chemotherapy for fear of losing her baby. After giving birth, she was tormented by headaches for a long time, but the singer for several months hid the terrible illness from her family and the press.
Death
For almost two years, Zhanna has been fighting cancer in the best clinics in the USA and Germany. At some point, fans got the impression that the star is on the mend, but in the spring of 2015 it became clear that there was no chance of salvation. 
Zhanna Friske passed away on June 15, 2015. The grief-stricken father was the first to report this: “Jeanne is dead, it's true. It happened on June 15 at ten o'clock in the evening. "
Farewell to the artist took place on June 17 in the capital's concert hall "Crocus City Hall". Numerous friends and colleagues from show business came to the sad ceremony. Olga Orlova, a close friend of Friske who worked with her in the "Brilliant" group, could not hold back her tears: "Farewell, my beauty .... You will forever remain in my heart .... Look after me from above .... I am very love you...".
Farewell to Zhanna Friske
Zhanna Friske was buried at the Nikolo-Arkhangelsk cemetery. Dmitry Shepelev forbade anyone from the press to attend the funeral service. The funds raised for the treatment of Zhanna Friske with the help of Channel One went to the treatment of children with cancer. Jeanne's son Platon stayed with Dmitry Shepelev. Jeanne's parents and sister promised to provide any support to the boy who lost his mother.
Scandal: the Friske family against Dmitry Shepelev
Alas, shortly after Jeanne's death, an extremely unpleasant conflict broke out between Shepelev and the Friske family. The day before his death, Friske Shepelev took Plato to Bulgaria and stopped communicating with the relatives of his common-law wife. For a long time, he did not allow Olga and Vladimir Kopylov to see his grandson. In turn, Zhanna's parents and close friends accused Dmitry of speculating on Friske's name: he sold her latest photographs to yellow publications, had illegal access to her accounts, and seriously “venerated” the sum that the whole country collected for the singer for treatment. Father Friske was especially zealous - right up to public threats of murder.With the help of the guardianship authorities, the Kopylovs obtained permission to meet with Plato, but the baby's father was not going to give up the position. He still did not let his grandparents visit his grandson. In December 2015, Shepelev said that Kopylov with a group of anonymous persons attacked him in order to kidnap Plato. Vladimir, on the other hand, accused the presenter of playing in public and said that he was only trying to see the boy and that there was no attack. After that, Dmitry publicly stated that the child's grandfather was mentally ill.
However, when dividing Jeanne's inheritance, the conflicting parties managed to come to a consensus. The relatives received the Moscow apartment of the deceased, and Shepelev, as a guardian, got a country house. However, the scandal was overgrown with new details, threatening to mix the name of the Friske-Kopylov family with dirt. Rusfond, which oversaw the collection of money for Friske, demanded a detailed report on the funds spent. It soon became clear that 21 million rubles had disappeared from Zhanna's account. Parents and common-law spouse nodded at each other, accusing each of their opponents of stealing. However, this issue was also resolved when Zhanna's sister, Natalya Kopylova, was able to provide checks with the “disappeared” amount.
As for poor Plato, who became the stumbling block of this whole unpleasant story, he remained to live with the pope. He still saw his grandparents - on May 30, 2016, Jeanne's relatives met the baby for the first time in a long time. It cannot be said that the ice in the relationship between the presenter and his father-in-law melted, but the beginning of this process was laid.
Dmitry did a great job so that the death of his mother would hit Plato's psyche as little as possible. He answers the boy to any question about his mother, the best photos of Zhanna are placed in their house, and when giving the baby a gift for the next holiday, Dmitry always says: "Mom and I congratulate you!" He often takes his son to resorts, strictly controls his leisure time and diet, and takes an active part in the life of Plato.
