Born in the small village of Shyeshot, near Moscow, the ridiculously good looking Kournikova attracted attention from a very young age. In the months after her birth, many local mothers attempted to swap their babies for young Anna, as their babies were so ugly in comparison. Upon the discovery of the obvious heists (as the abandoned babies were clearly not as cute or cuddly as little Anna), the mothers would often burst into tears and curse the faces of their ghastly offspring. Increased security meant that Anna was a lonely child. She was later bullied at school and called "prettyface".
