Olga Kabo is a popular Soviet and Russian actress whose fame does not fit into the framework of a single state. Experience in the United States, three degrees, active preparation for the release of a solo album, approval for a flight into space, membership in the Association of Stuntmen, Fairy (president) of the Russian film festival "Fairy Tale" - such achievements can not boast of any artist. And this is despite the fact that she has boundless acting talent, model parameters, charm and incredible beauty.
Early years and youth
Olga Igorevna was born on January 28, 1968 in the capital. Her parents were simple engineers, often went on business trips. Until the age of 5, the girl lived in the Urals and was brought up by her grandmother. But she went to school in Moscow.
Her father and mother tried to develop a well-rounded personality in Ola from childhood. The educational institution, which she attended, was with an in-depth study of English. The girl was also engaged in music school, learned to dance. For a long time she went to the rhythmic gymnastics circle, and was also listed in the ranks of young astronauts.
Since the age of 12, Kabo had a new passion - theater. She enrolled in the Theater of Young Muscovites at the Palace of Pioneers and began to play there. Already after the first appearance on the stage, she realized that she wanted to become an actress. The girl changed the educational institution. Specialized school with a theatrical and literary bias at the Shchukin College, she combined with appearances on the stage of her native Theatre of Young Muscovites.
After receiving a certificate of maturity, she did not hesitate for a long time, where to enter. VGIK has long been her dream, and she easily passed the selection and began to study. It is worth noting that this was not the only university that graduated from Kabo. She also studied at the Faculty of History at Moscow State University, and then took the Higher Directing Courses (in the workshop of A. Surikova and V. Fokin).
Acting career
In 1989, Olga Kabo became a certified artist. But at that time her filmography already amounted to more than 10 works. As a schoolgirl, she played two major roles: in the musical film "Jokes aside" and in the drama "And everything will happen again".
In her student years, she lit up in such films as "A Million in the marriage basket", "Where is Nophelet?", "Night Crew", "The Adventures of Quentin Dorward, the Royal Guard shooter". Behind her fixed the image of a romantic and dramatic heroine, with which she coped flawlessly. But in 1989, Olga managed to surprise the audience: in another movie with her participation "Comedy about Lysistrata" actress appeared in the nude. It was one of the first erotic pictures in the USSR. No wonder that Kabo immediately proclaimed "sex symbol". The artist herself does not agree with this and for many years tried to get rid of this label.
When in the 90s most Soviet actors experienced a creative "stagnation", Olga did not waste time and went abroad. For a couple of years she worked in the United States. There she starred in two pictures ("Running on Ice" and "Funeral for Rats"), and even studied for a few months at New York College.
Upon her return, she often compared her work in Russian and American cinema. And also always gladly shared with pleasure the experience gained abroad.
Describing the biography of Olga Kabo, you can not miss the fact that she is the only female stuntwoman among actresses in Russia. Usually all the stunts in the movies are performed by specially trained people. But our heroine believes that you can honestly and sincerely play a character only by going through all his trials. Therefore, horseback riding, rapier, and other skills that came in handy for her to believably portray fights, jumps, falls and the like, she learned at special courses. Moreover, in 1997 she was selected for training for the orbital station "Mir". But to fly into space has not succeeded.
The demand for the artist does not fade and to this day. Every year her filmography is replenished with 3-4, and even more movie works. In the series, she prefers not to star. Believes that their level is an order of magnitude below the quality of Russian feature films.
Along with film career, Kabo never left the theater. She went to many of the capital's stages: the Opera Theater n / r A. Rybnikov, the Academic Theater of the Russian Army, the Mossovet Theater, the Moscow Independent Theater, the State Theater of Cinema Actor. Cult productions with her participation were "The Master and Margarita", "Juno" and "Avos", "Much Ado About Nothing", "Othello", "The Dancing Teacher", "The Servant of Two Masters" and others. She plays superbly, she is admired by critics, viewers and directors.
In addition to acting, Olga showed herself in other spheres. In 2006, she appeared on the screens as a TV host of the program "Key Moment". A year later became a participant in the show "Ice Age". But the injury prevented her from staying in the project.
In 2007, Kabo made her debut in the singing career. After recording the song "I will not lie!" composer Elena Surzhikova, it was launched in rotation on the radio. The composition became a hit song. Listeners highly appreciated the vocal data of the actress.
Personal life
Being a very attractive and interesting girl, Olga never hurried to get married and give birth to children. The first official husband was Eduard Vasilishin. At that time she was 29 years old, and they had already been dating for 4 years. Soon their family was replenished with a daughter Masha. For a while Kabo disappeared from the screens, devoting herself to her family. But for a long time her enthusiasm was not enough, and she continued her acting career. With Eduard they lived for seven years.
After the divorce, she was alone for five years. But then there was a fateful acquaintance with the entrepreneur Nikolai Razgulyaev. He charmed the artist, and they had an affair, which led the loving couple to the registry office. Three years later, Olga gave birth to a son Victor.
