Margarita Levieva the actress, and her role in 'In From the Cold'

Margarita Levieva was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and is an American actress and dancer. Levieva completed the Meisner Acting Program at the William Esper Studio in New York.

The New York Magazine named her as one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in New York in 2005. Her appearances in Law & Order: Trial by Jury, Fox series Vanished, and films such as The Invisible, Billy's Choice, and Noise are among her significant works.

According to the trailer, Levieva plays Jenny Franklin, who is "the only human subject" to have survived a classified KGB experiment that has bestowed her with remarkable talents. Jenny possesses extraordinary physical prowess and effective fighting expertise.

Jenny's – and Levieva's – shift from an inconspicuous American mom to a murderous assassin is one of the trailer's most striking features. We can see how she removes her glasses and cuts her hair short as her demeanor shifts from naïve and harmless to confident and powerful.

Jenny is compelled to revert to her former deadly identity to stop a monster after series of murders show that someone has been copying her 'Whisperer MO' to commit crimes. If she fails, she risks losing everything she has worked so hard to achieve in her new life.
