[edit] Biography

Born to Russian parents Sergei Laevski and Inna Rastsvetaeva, Ana's family moved to Mexico when she was only nine years old. She has been tied to drama since then. She is fluent in Russian, Spanish and English.^{[citation needed]}

In Mexico Ana studied acting in the Centro de Educación Artística of Televisa. Thanks to her skills she obtained some roles in novelas such as Preciosa (1998) and Amor Gitano (1999), acting with Mauricio Islas and Mariana Seoane. Those were relatively small roles but they were good experience as well.^{[citation needed]}

Eventually, producer Pedro Damián called her to participate in telenovelas Primer amor... a mil por hora (2000), in which she shared credits with Kuno Becker, Mauricio Islas, Valentino Lanús and Anahí. She won the TVyNovelas Award for best female revelation, as well as the Palmas de Oro prize in the same category.

In 2001, she starred in her first film, In the Time of the Butterflies, where she had the opportunity of acting with Salma Hayek and Edward James Olmos. In 2005, she participated in the reality TV show Bailando Por Un Sueño, where celebrities are paired with contestants in a dance-based competition. Despite being unpopular with the judges, she was saved from eviction three times by public telephone voting, eventually placing third overall.

Other than acting, Layevska also sings and plays two instruments: violin and piano. When she was younger, she took classes in classical music.^{[citation needed]}

Ana Layevska is only child.
