Today, Olga Ostroumová is mainly a serial actress (if we don’t count theater works, of course). Many got to know her and fell in love with her thanks to the role of Andrei Zhdanova’s mother in the TV series Don’t Be Born Beautiful. And this generation is unlikely to remember or know what they looked like at the start of their careers.
However, in the 1970s, Olga was known for her much brighter roles. So viewers remember her from the cult film “… The Dawns Here Are Quiet”, where Ostroumova played Zhenya Komelkova. Millions of Soviet citizens admired the beauty of the actress, held their breath and worried about the fate of her heroine.
The audience liked the films “Vasily and Vasilisa”, “Fate”, “Earthly Love”, “There was no sadness” and many others. Olga Ostroumova became the main beauty of the USSR overnight. There was no end to admirers.
But the heart of the actress herself belonged to someone else. At the height of her fame, she married for the second time – to her chosen one, Mikhail Levitin, a theater director and writer. The couple lived together for more than 20 years but separated in the 1990s. Ostroumová lived another quarter of a century with Valentine Gaft (he died in 2020).
