Klimova's debut in cinema took place in 2001, when she starred in the cameo role of Jeanne d'Albret in Karen Shakhnazarov 's tragicomic phantasmagoria " Poisons, or the World History of Poisoning ". The first big role was expected for the 23-year-old actress in the same year in the adventurous crime television series Throwing Games, where the adventures of a young mistress abounded in erotic scenes. Subsequently, Klimova often performed on the screen and stage the role of a lover or a wife with her second husband, actor Igor Petrenko ("We are from the future 2", "Dreams from plasticine", "Moscow windows", "Sins of the fathers", "Cancellation of all restrictions"), and among the costs of the acting profession, she regretfully mentioned that “ "you have to lie in bed with some stranger and pretend love" ”.
