As a child, she considered herself very ugly, grew up shy, was not eager for the stage and was going to study to be a geologist. But fate had it differently: Olga Drozdova (Olga Drozdova) became a famous actress. In her creative bank - dozens of works in theater and film, including the role of Ekaterina Zvantseva in the sensational series "Bandit Petersburg", which made the artist really famous.
Childhood and teenage years
The future actress was born on April 1, 1965 in the city of Nakhodka. The girl's father was a long-distance captain. Stately handsome, a descendant of impoverished Russian nobility found a wife not in the officers' club, and in the gypsy tabor. Breaking all maritime laws, he simply stole her and took her away with him. The young woman worked as an agronomist in the green farm, taught her young daughter to speak Romani and guess at cards.
Olga was the only child in the family, but she was mostly spoiled by her father. Mom brought up her daughter in strictness, but this did not prevent the girl to dispose of her life in her own way.
Olga showed interest in the theater even at school age: was engaged in the drama club of the Sailors' Club, participated in productions. At the same time she did not think seriously about the stage, she wanted to become an archeologist or a geologist.
Once in her hometown came on tour Khabarovsk Drama Theater, and Olga for the first time was able to observe how professionals work. Their game made an incredible impression on the girl, and she told her parents that she would be an actress. The older Drozdovs met this news without much joy. Olga's mother wanted her daughter to become a teacher. It remained to hope that the girl will change her decision. However, Olga did not change her mind.
When the girl was 15 years old, her father died. The family, which had not known material difficulties before, had a hard time. To help her mother and earn money, Olga had to wash floors and work as a landscaper.
Domestic difficulties did not interfere with her studies. The girl graduated from school with a gold medal and easily became a student of the Far Eastern Pedagogical Institute. A year later, Olga left the university, worked for a while at the factory, then returned to the first year, but again left her studies. The stage attracted her like a magnet, and the girl entered the theater institute in Sverdlovsk.
Actress of theater and cinema
While still a second-year student, Olga began to act in films, participated in productions in local theaters. However, the girl wanted more, she dreamed of studying and working in the capital. Setting a new goal, Olga transferred to the theater school named after Shchepkin, successfully graduated from it and immediately received an invitation to the famous theater "Sovremennik". Here Drozdova serves and currently. On her account there are many works, the most striking of which are the roles in the performances:

- "Three Comrades";
- "Steep Route";
- "Bes";
- "Three Sisters";
- "Anarchy.
Drozdova considers herself primarily a theater actress, although it is thanks to the cinema that she became famous.
At the very beginning, the roles were tiny. They did not bring Drozdova fame, but allowed her to gain experience and get acquainted with famous actors.
For the first time the main role of Olga played in the movie "Walking on the scaffold". It became a landmark for her, and not only in terms of career. On the set of this movie the girl met with Dmitry Pevtsov, who later became her husband.
Almost inseparable this couple and on the screen. Actors together played in the series "Queen Margot", "Stop on Demand", "Angel in the Heart", "In the circle of the first". The most striking work Drozdova and Pevtsov was "Bandit Petersburg", added to the filmography of artists in 1998. In most cases, directors entrust the star duo of the role of husband and wife, because they get them naturally and effortlessly.
Wanting to share their knowledge with young people, in 2013 the couple "Songbirds" (as friends jokingly call the couple) began teaching, recruiting a group of students at the Institute of Contemporary Art. Two years later, they opened their own theater.
Personal life
Olga is absolutely happy in her personal life, although, like any person, she has her joys and sorrows. Among the sad moments - the first marriage of the actress. Married to the actor Alexander Borovikov Olga came out, being a student. The marriage brought a lot of disappointments, so after living together for 2 years, the couple parted. Soon Olga met with a Swiss director and became his bride. Ahead of her waited for a quiet life in a well-fed Europe, but she met Dmitry Pevtsov.
According to the actress, their relationship was hardly like love at first sight. There was no flash or insight between them. When the auditions ended, Olga and Dmitry suddenly realized that they can no longer do without each other.
In 1994, the young people officially married. In 2007, after 15 years of unsuccessful attempts to have children, they finally became parents. They had a son, who was named Elysei.
