A new series "Nine Complete Strangers", based on the novel by Liane Moriarty, will be released this week, with Nicole Kidman playing the main character of a Russian immigrant Masha. We found a real Masha, Sydney's Russian woman Maria Dmitrichenko, whose name and some personal features were used in the book.
