Olesya Zheleznyak

Probably, today it is difficult to find a viewer who would not know who Olesya Zheleznyak is. She's really hard to miss. And not only because the actress is famous for her tall stature: first of all, because of her brilliantly played comedic roles. The hits in her filmography were the comedies "Silver Lily of the Valley" and "Matchmakers".

Olesya Vladimirovna Zheleznyak was born and raised in a family that was far from cinema and theater: her mother worked as a seamstress, her father as a loader. In the 50s, parents moved from Ukraine to the capital, both were village residents. In addition to Olesya, two more daughters grew up in the family. Thanks to her older sister, Lyudmila, Olesya Zheleznyak became addicted to reading. And she was also carried away by dancing.

Parents were down to earth people, therefore they did not plan to see Olesya as an actress. But instead of the Plekhanov Institute of National Economy, which her mother pointed out to her daughter, the girl went to the choreographic studio of the College of Culture. She was accepted into the course of the teacher Lyudmila Boytsova.

The future artist gave dancing lessons for 2 years, but then her childhood dream still brought her to the theater studio on the Arbat. Unfortunately, the studio soon closed, but Zheleznyak managed to fall in love with the theater forever.

Therefore, the next step was to enter GITIS, which could not be conquered on the first attempt. The girl had to get a job in a circus corps de ballet, fortunately, her slender figure and choreographic training allowed her to do this (with a height of 180 cm, her weight did not exceed 64 kg). The future actress even managed to go on tour in Japan. But the second attempt was crowned with success, she was incredibly lucky: Olesya Zheleznyak was enrolled in the course to Mark Zakharov.

Theatrical biography of Olesya Zheleznyak started in her student years. At first, these were episodic roles in the performances "The Marriage of Figaro" and "Juno and Avos", where the novice artist was entrusted with what she was best at - dancing.

In the graduation productions "The Master and Margarita" and "The Morning Bride" the girl played Gella and the sister of the hero Dmitry Dyuzhev.

Olesya didn't have to think about where to go after receiving her diploma. At the end of his studies, Mark Anatolyevich Zakharov asked the girl to bring her photo for the foyer and take the documents to the personnel department of the Lenkom theater. So Olesya Zheleznyak realized that she was accepted into the famous Zakharov theater. In 2000, she was awarded a diploma, and the actress began to appear on stage regularly.

It was not at once that the master called the aspiring artist “a young talent”. On the way to success, there were also thorns: Zheleznyak once admitted that she was in the hospital with a nervous breakdown. This happened at the rehearsal of the play "The Barbarian and the Heretic", where Leonid Bronevoy criticized Mark Zakharov:

In her youth, Zheleznyak felt self-doubt. But her senior colleagues in the shop supported her, and the actress managed to overcome shyness and stiffness on stage. Now Olesya plays diverse roles in leading performances and entreprise: "Vabank", "Five Evenings", "The Cherry Orchard", "Lady's Visit" and others.

In all these productions, the young actress had to play with stage masters such as Alexander Abdulov, Inna Churikova and Oleg Yankovsky. It was especially easy and comfortable for Olesya to play with Yankovsky. He, cheerful and kind, somehow reminded her of her dad. Oleg Ivanovich was a great partner, with a great sense of humor and incredibly generous. He knew how to rejoice at the success of his colleagues, which is a rare quality in the acting environment. Olesya Zheleznyak played with Yankovsky in the productions of The Seagull and Jester Balakirev.
