Actress childhood and youth
Olga was born in the small Moldavian village of Skulyany in August 1951. My father held a high post in the administration, and my mother was engaged in the education of two daughters. The talented and intelligent mother was a very creative person, and passed on her love of art to children.
Bogdanova Olga Mikhailovna graduated from high school with a gold medal, and teachers noted in her a penchant for exact sciences. Schoolgirl's scientific articles were even published in local newspapers. Surrounding prophesied to the girl a rich scientific career. But she chose a completely different path for herself.
Together with her friend, the young provincial woman went to conquer Moscow and on the first attempt entered the famous Moscow Art Theater, which she graduated with honors, finding her husband and real friend, Stas Sadalsky, and starring in two works - in the episodic role of Gaidai’s cult painting "12 Chairs" and playing an unnamed Komsomol member in Gerasimov’s film “To Love a Man”.
Creation
In 1972, after graduating from the Moscow Art Theater, Olga got into the famous Sovremennik, but stayed there only a year, being a member, but not getting a single role. As she herself says, one influential actress was carried away by her husband and did everything to eliminate her rival.
A year later, without bringing the actress any work either on the stage of the theater or in the cinema, Olga moved to TsATRA, where she immediately got the role in the debut production of the young director Morozov, who today holds the post of chief director of this theater. And to this day Bogdanova Olga Mikhailovna performs in performances on the stage of the Theater of the Russian Army.
In 1973, Olga Bogdanova was invited to take part in the filming of the film on the "adult" book about the war of the children's writer Agnia Barto's "Find a Man". The actress played a minor character, weaver Lyuba. By the way, in the same film, the debut of another famous actress, Leah Akhedzhakova.
Further, until 1979, Bogdanova performs exclusively in the theater, and in 1979-80 she starred in several films at once. Together with other actors, Olga often toured the "hot" spots of the world: Afghanistan, Chechnya, Mongolia and others.
After the collapse of the USSR, the actress increasingly takes part in the filming of series, conducts various programs and engages in social activities. Olga remained faithful to the theater, in which she has a rich stage biography and is removed infrequently. She has 16 film works on her account, and the actress has no doubt that others will appear.
