Valdis Pelsh (born 1967), Russian TV presenter, showman, singer
For many viewers, the image of Valdis Pelsh has entrenched in the role of the inimitable host of the musical show program "Guess the melody." But the creative path of Pelsha did not begin with her, but much earlier. From 1983 to 1987, Valdis was a member and one of the founders of the group "Accident".

Elena Vorobey (born 1967), Russian pop actress, parody
Eccentric, charming and very talented Elena Vorobey (Elena Lebenbaum), from the very first performance she fell in love with the audience. This happened in 1993. at the competition of young performers in Yalta. There Elena received two prizes at once - Grand Prix and audience sympathy. She turns out incomparable parodies of many Russian stars - Masha Rasputin, Irina Allegrova, Laima Vaikule, Lyuba Uspenskaya, Valery Leontyev, Nadezhda Kadysheva and others. The very first parody she performed was in her childhood, to Alla Pugacheva, when the audience was only close and dear. In 2002 she repeated the parody of Pugacheva already from the big stage, on the anniversary of Eldar Ryazanov. It is so plausible that Boris Yeltsin, who was present at the concert, did not notice the difference and took Sparrow's number for the performance of the real Alla Pugacheva. He only noticed that "Alla well done, how she lost weight." In addition to performing on stage, Elena Vorobey acts in films, plays in performances, participates in musicals - "Caution, Zadov", "Passion for Angelica", "Goldfish", "Morozko", "First at Home", "New Adventures of Aladdin" and others.
