Happy childhood
Olga was born on September 21, 1947. Despite the fact that her life began after the war, Olga grew up in a very bright and friendly atmosphere. She had two sisters, Raya and Luda, as well as brother George. The girl grew up in a family where, in three generations, all men were priests. Only her father became a teacher of physics at school. But, in addition, he also acted as a regent in the church choir. And this is despite the fact that during the Soviet era, the church was considered something abnormal and wrong. Olya was very fond of her grandfather. He served as a priest and always differed in his understanding and kindness. In general, nothing was planted in her family. With children, they always talked, explained, but they never forgot about what choice means. Her mother was engaged in housekeeping. She was a real keeper of the hearth, the person who always remembered family traditions and taught children to always be the best, most understanding and just. The peculiarity of their family was that, despite the belief, everyone was very educated. For example, Olga's father himself learned to play the piano, he loved to go on trips on the river. He sewed a tent, made a boat and drove the whole family on a journey. And the grandfather, who, as already mentioned, served as a priest, told the children about various phenomena of nature not from the point of view of the church, but from the point of view of physics. Olga, growing up, even more respected him for this, and also for the fact that he always understood that a person should come to faith himself. Her father and grandfather became real spiritual instructors for the future actress. It was they who instilled in the girl the love of art and everything beautiful. She remembers perfectly how she listened to a brass band on the veranda, when the whole family was going to have a cup of tea and chat. The childhood for Olga has always remained the foundation on which she relies all her life, remembering her family, who taught, first of all, to be real, kind and understanding people who, among other things, are educated and knowledgeable in all spheres of life.
Choice of profession
If we talk about how Olga chose a profession, it is worth noting that no one expected that the girl would want to go to Moscow and enter GITIS. She chose this higher educational institution only because she did not know any others. None of her family had any idea that Olya had fallen in love with the theater at the age of ten. Then my mother took her to a play in which the mother's close friend was playing. After seeing it, Olga realized that she does not want the beautiful life and wealth that an actress can get. She just wants to feel the holiday, reincarnate in different people and give people joy. Olga's family did not intend to protest her choice. Parents and grandfather remained the same tolerant as they had been throughout their entire life up to this point. They collected Olya on the road, bought her a ticket and wished her luck. That's how Ostroumova got to Moscow. Initially, she went to a consultation and acted just awful.
The girl was crying under the stairs and thought that she would not succeed. She did not like to pour tears in public, but in this situation she simply did not have the strength to restrain herself. That's why she allowed to calm and convince herself that you need to go to the audition and have nothing to fear. That's why Olga took herself in hand and was able to go through all the tours. She got a place in the hostel and was enrolled on the course to Vronskaya.
