Biography of actress Olga Sutulova
Olga Sutulova was born in early May 1980, in Leningrad. The girl’s parents were the most intelligent mathematical engineers and sincerely did not understand where their daughter got so much fuss, protest from everything and everything. Olya studied frankly poorly, the exact sciences were especially hard for her, girlish amusements did not attract her at all, she was much more interesting in the company of boys.
The only thing that fascinated Olya was the English language. She even went on an exchange to Oxford from her gymnasium with in-depth study of foreign languages. But in high school they did not take her because of low academic performance in basic subjects, and Olya decided to continue her education in a regular vocational school. Parents managed to arrange their rebellious "child" in the gymnasium at Peterhof, and the vocational school was forgotten.
At the age of 15, a movie came to life of Olga Sutulova. She starred in a film by Dmitry Astrakhan, then in another. But this did not encourage her to consider acting as the main profession, a source of income.
