She was and remains one of the most beautiful Russian actresses. Success in the profession came to her early enough, back in her student years, but she had to wait for personal happiness for a very long time, having experienced a series of disappointments and betrayals, because of which she even wanted to commit suicide. What helped Olga Ostroumova to withstand and not despair - further in the review.
Olga Ostroumova's childhood fell on the post-war years. She grew up in a large family in the town of Buguruslan, Orenburg region. Her mother was a housewife and her father was a school teacher. Three generations of men in their family have been priests. Olga said: "". Nobody hindered Olga's desire to become an actress in the family. And when she was 10 years old, when she first got to the theater, she firmly decided to connect her life with the stage.
After graduation, Olga Ostroumova went to Moscow to enter a theater university. She did not even know where GITIS was, and got there only in the evening, barely having time to audition, but she managed to enter the first time. When she was in her 3rd year, she made her film debut. She got the role of a schoolgirl, the first beauty in the class of Rita Cherkasova, in the film "We'll Live Until Monday." The very first work turned out to be successful and brought her fame and recognition, however, then she still did not understand how lucky she was with her debut film: "".
4 years later Olga Ostroumova consolidated her success by playing one of the main roles in the film "The Dawns Here Are Quiet …". True, and this time she initially did not believe in the success of this work: "". At that time, she was completely focused on working in the theater, and she did not consider cinema as a true art at all. Later she changed her mind and did not regret it. In 1973, this film became the leader of the box office - it was watched by 66 million viewers. Film critics praised Ostroumova's work, and the directors bombarded her with new proposals. True, most of them were of the same type - she was seen in the same image of Zhenya Komelkova. Fearing forever becoming a hostage of this role, the actress refused these offers.
Only after 2 years Ostroumova agreed to play the main role in the film "Earthly Love", and after another 3 - in its sequel "Destiny". Both tapes were awarded the USSR State Prize. Ostroumova's bright work in the cinema was her role as a professor's daughter Marina in Eldar Ryazanov's film "Garage". The actress got to the set thanks to a fluke - she came to Eldar Ryazanov with a request to help arrange a child in a kindergarten, and as a result, she got a role. Valentin Gaft also accidentally got into this film - the director saw Alexander Shirvindt as the chairman of the garage cooperative, but he was not released from the theater to shoot, and Liya Akhedzhakova advised Ryazanov to pay attention to Gaft. So she and Ostroumova met on the set, and 17 years later they became husband and wife. Gaft admitted that he had feelings for Olga back then.
At that time, the actress was married. Her first student marriage broke up very quickly - after her husband, after distribution at the university, ended up in a theater in Ashgabat, and she - in the Moscow Youth Theater. Soon she married a second time - to a young director and writer Mikhail Levitin. They had a daughter and a son, who were named after their parents. The director said about his wife: "".
Family life could not be called happy. Levitin did not believe in the institution of marriage and did not remain faithful to his wife. Ostroumova idolized her husband, considered him a genius and for 23 years tried to put up with the fact that the family was never in the foreground for him. But when Ostroumova found out about his constant betrayal, her patience came to an end. She herself filed for divorce, citing "her husband's unbridled love for freedom" as the reason.
In an interview, the actress admitted that her love for Levitin did not pass, but crashed. She called him "tenant" and not her husband, for the reason that he paid too little attention to the family. She could not forgive him: "". Ostroumova was very upset about their separation, which she later told: "".
Once at a corporate party, the actress met Valentin Gaft. He was already 60, he was divorced three times, but both soon realized that it was a happy chance given by fate. This late love seemed to become a reward for the trials and disappointments that both of them had to endure.
She again tied her fate with genius, but this time it was completely different. Since then, they have not parted: "Nervous genius" Valentin Gaft and his star wife Olga Ostroumova.
