Among the many awards she received was the Moscow Film Festival Best Actress Award for “Dead End.” The revolution forced Mary to flee the country and find her new home in United States. Determined to continue her education, she graduated from the BBC School of TV Production, attended the Masters Degree Program in Directing at Cal Arts, and participated in the very first Sundance Film Institute with Robert Redford. Mary continued her acting career in United States by starring in several American productions, including the critically acclaimed “The Mission” and “Checkpoint.”
