Marina demonstrated her creative nature in her childhood. The girl loved to sing and dance. Already at an early age, she began to take private vocal lessons – the future star did not get into the music school, since there were no free places in the institution. The artistry of the young lady was manifested not only in singing, but also in KVN. Kravets was considered an indispensable player of the school team.

After graduation, Marina entered the Faculty of Philology, where she received a specialty "teacher of the Russian language for foreigners". The main outlet for the born actress was playing in the student team of KVN "Suckers".
