Short biography of Olesya Zheleznyak
On November 11, 1974, the future actress was born in an ordinary metropolitan family (father is a loader, and mother is a seamstress), far from the world of culture and art. Olesya, thanks to her elder sister Lyudmila, became addicted to reading early and began to dance. It was the choreographic talent of the girl that led her to the idea of theater education.
At first it was a theater studio on the Arbat, which soon after Zheleznyak entered there closed. However, the sprout of talent has already managed to open up, and GITIS became a further step in the development of thematic education. Despite the fact that the girl was not able at the first attempt to pass the entrance exams, she did not despair. And the next year she spent in the circus corps de ballet, with which she even managed to go to Japan on tour.
The second attempt to enter the legendary GITIS was already successful, and Olesya Zheleznyak was able to get basic acting knowledge on the course from Mark Zakharov himself. Back in the student years, the aspiring actress made her debut on the stage with secondary roles in The Marriage of Figaro and Juno and Avos. Her thesis works were productions: "Master and Margarita" and "Morning Bride".

Eloquent evidence of the theatrical talent of the actress is her many awards, among which there are prizes from the Yevgeny Leonov International Fund and Debut, as well as two prizes from the Moscow Komsomolets and Seagull.
The deafening debut of Olesya Zheleznyak in the cinema took place from the film by Tigran Keosayan "Lily of the valley silver" (2000), where she very realistically embodied the life of the character Zoe Misochkina. And then a lot of offers from various directors followed.
