Olga Drozdova

Olga Drozdova is a Russian actress who became popular after the release of the TV series "Queen Margot", "Gangster Petersburg", "Stop on demand".

However, the theater occupies the main place in her creative biography. Today, she is in demand on the stages of Sovremennik and Pevtsov Theater, and together with her husband Dmitry Pevtsov she is preparing the younger generation of actors.

People's Artist of Russia Olga Drozdova was born on April 1 in the seaside town of Nakhodka. For the girl's father, sea captain Boris Fedorovich Drozdov, the birth of his daughter was a long-awaited gift.

On her father's side, Olga came from an impoverished noble family, and on her mother's side, from a family of wealthy gypsies. It seemed that with such ancestors the girl simply could not help but grow up to be a beauty, but as a child, the future star of Russian cinema, by her own admission, was an ugly duckling. She took from her mother an expensive foundation, which her father brought her from overseas trips to cover up teenage acne.

Getting rid of skin problems - that was the girl's main dream. I didn't even think about becoming an actress.

For the first time, the future celebrity saw the work of professional actors on stage when the Khabarovsk Drama Theater came to her native Nakhodka on tour. Returning home after the performance, Olga announced to her parents that she would be an actress. She said it so confidently that her parents were seriously scared. Mom saw in her daughter a future primary school teacher, and here it is. The daughter was released to singing and ballroom dancing in the hope that she would indulge herself and change her mind. But Drozdova did not change her mind.

Tragedy intervened in the plans for the future star's life. When Olga was 15 years old, her father died. Life has become difficult not only morally, but also financially. Drozdova used to earn pocket money for the sake of entertainment, but now the need made the girl look for work. She scrubbed floors and trimmed bushes. While still at school, she got a work book with the entry "gardener".

The part-time job did not prevent the hardworking girl from finishing school with a gold medal. There were no universities in Nakhodka. At the insistence of her mother, the artist went to receive higher education in Vladivostok. The future actress easily entered the Vladivostok Institute of Arts, but suddenly left it.

Once, together with her fellow students, she decided on a desperate adventure - to fly to Sverdlovsk to enter the theater there. Already at the airport, Olga discovered that she was flying to implement a common bold idea alone, the rest were frightened. The brave girl entered the Sverdlovsk theater on the first try. She was taken on his course by the famous Russian film and theater director, actor, and since 2009 also Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Dmitry Astrakhan.

In Sverdlovsk, Olga, not having studied even for 2 years, has already acted in films and rehearsed the main roles in two theaters at once, but this was not enough for the actress. She was attracted by Moscow. Drozdova did not enter the Shchukin Theater School. The selection committee tried to persuade the actress to return to Sverdlovsk, predicting her great acting fame, honorary titles and leading roles there. But the sea captain's daughter was not used to retreating.

The failure in "Pike" only spurred Olga's pride, and she entered the Shchepkin Theater School on the course of Vladimir Safronov.

In what Moscow theaters Olga Drozdova was not invited after graduating from the theater school, but Sovremennik, of course, was out of competition. Yesterday's graduate replaced not just anyone, but Marina Neyelova herself in the play “Three Sisters” based on the play by Anton Chekhov. Drozdova played Masha in it. Later, the actress was given the role of Olga, whom she still represents, and Masha is played in turn by Chulpan Khamatova and Alena Babenko.

The actress is engaged in most of the theater performances at the same time. In addition to Olga in Chekhov's "Three Sisters", Drozdova plays Frau Hasse in "Three Comrades" by Erich Maria Remarque, Anna Page in "Windsor Mockers" by William Shakespeare, Lisa Drozdova in Dostoevsky's "Demons", Charlotte Ivanovna in Chekhov's "Cherry Orchard", Violet in A Warning to Small Ships by Tennessee Williams et al.

At one time the premises of the Sovremennik theater were under restoration, so the artists, including Olga Drozdova, had to go to performances at the Palace on the Yauza near the Elektrozavodskaya metro station, but The Other Stage of the theater continued to work in the same place. On the eve of 2019, the actors were happy to return to their native land on Chistoprudny Boulevard.

If the theater recognized Drozdova's acting talent immediately, then the path to the heights of the cinematic Olympus turned out to be thorny and long. Olga began acting in films back in Sverdlovsk. Her debut was the episodic role of Lida in the film by Vladimir Laptev "The Trouble - the Beginning".

In 1992 Olga Drozdova got the main role in the adventure melodrama "Alice and the Bookseller", where the main male character is represented by her future husband Dmitry Pevtsov. In 1996, the future spouses again work together, this time on the set of the TV series "Queen Margot". Olga plays the beloved of Henry of Navarre, Charlotte de Sauves.

Drozdova even starred in an erotic film. Olga played a prostitute in the controversial film by Hungarian director Martha Mesaros "Daughters of Happiness". The views of the audience were divided into diametrically opposed ones: the Moscow Film Festival "Faces of Love" called this film "disgusting porn", and at the Polish festival in Gdynia Drozdova was awarded a special prize for this work.

The TV series “Gangster Petersburg” and “Stop on demand”, where she played decisive, strong-willed women, brought love of viewers to Olga.

The actress wanted to refuse the role in “Gangster Petersburg” at first, believing that criminal dramas are not her genre at all, but after reading the script, she realized that she would have something to play here, and was not mistaken. And to get used to the role in "Stop on Demand" Olga came to practice in the real office of a large company.

In 2002, Drozdova played the young Natalia Goncharova in the film Alexander Yatsko "Alexander Pushkin". The role of the poet was performed by Sergei Bezrukov. And in 2004, the actress embodied the image of the sophisticated fashion legend Coco Chanel in the film of the same name by Alexander Mitta.

In 2015, the artist celebrated her 50th birthday, but she keeps herself in excellent shape, keeps her "fighting" weight for her height of 170 cm, weight 60 kg. And if earlier Olga could afford to appear in a photograph in a swimsuit, today the status of a star and a teacher does not allow this. But the artist's arsenal includes elegant and sometimes playful outfits.

According to Drozdova herself, the secret of youth lies in the correct daily routine and kickboxing. But she categorically denies the presence of plastic on her face. Nevertheless, according to rumors, the actress more than once turned to the services of plastic surgeons and did, in particular, a facelift and eyelid lift, lipofilling of the lips.

Drozdova rarely favors journalists and appears on the screen somewhere else, except for roles in films. However, in the anniversary year, the actress made an exception and became a guest of two Channel One projects at once - "SMAK" and "Alone with everyone."

In 2015, Drozdova was awarded the title "People's Artist of the Russian Federation".

In 2016, she took part in the filming of a film about the Ryazan governor Yevpatiy Kolovrat. In the film "The Legend of Kolovrat", released a year later, the actress played the wife of Prince Yuri of Ryazan (Alexei Serebryakov). Today this is the last project in the filmography of the artist.

Olga Drozdova got married while still a student at a theater school. Her first husband was a graduate of the Moscow Art Theater School, actor Alexander Borovikov. True, the marriage soon fell apart, and the actress does not like to remember about it.

At the turn of the 90s, Olga developed a serious relationship with the Swiss director Stash. The lovers already lived together and discussed a future wedding. She was going to be played after the shooting of the bride in Isaac Fritberg's film Walk on the Scaffold was over. It was there that the then young actors Olga Drozdova and Dmitry Pevtsov met.

From the very first days, the actress had to play in erotic scenes with her partner, which, in the end, led to hysteria. Drozdova tried to find Dmitry's sympathy, but Pevtsov supported the director. At the end of the scene, the actors kissed.

According to Drozdova, she did not feel any flashing spark, but after a few days she realized that she was missing Dima. Soon Pevtsov invited her to his performance, and Drozdova canceled the wedding with her Swiss boyfriend, because she did not feel the feelings that the bride should have before the wedding.

The singers began to look after their future wife and soon proposed to her. However, Olga did not dare to agree for a long time, as a result, the wedding took place only in 1994.

A couple of Singers-Drozdov is called one of the most enviable and strongest in Russian show business. At the same time, rumors constantly arise in the press that star actors are on the verge of divorce. However, rumors that have been appearing for 15 years have not been confirmed in any way. Moreover, in 2012, when Pevtsov's son tragically died from his first marriage, Daniel, the spouse, according to her husband, strongly supported him and, as far as possible, brought him back to life.

In 2007, Olga gave birth to Dmitry's son Elisha. The star duo has always dreamed of a family with many children. The artist has been trying to get pregnant for a long time, but no modern methods have led to the desired result.

Happiness came when it was no longer expected. Dmitry Pevtsov's wife became pregnant at 42. According to the actress, from surprise, she fell into a state of passion. Being a believer, Drozdova admitted that she sees a connection in the fact that before getting pregnant, she and Pevtsov got married.

In 2018, the actress visited Boris Korchevnikov's broadcast studio "The Fate of a Man", where she revealed some secrets of her personal life. Olga admitted that in her youth she resorted to abortion, then the girl was afraid of losing her place on the course at the theater institute due to going on academic leave. She realized the severity of that act only before the wedding with her husband.

In addition to his own son, an adopted daughter, a young actress Alena Derkach, is being brought up in the family. The girl studied with a pair of actors in the first composition of the Pevtsov Theater studio. For Olga and Dmitry, all the guys of the first release have become almost family. The spouses keep in touch with each of them to this day. Seeing how hard it was for Alena to study at a theater university, where she entered after the studio, Olga decided to take her to her.

Today Olga Drozdova rarely appears on the screen, the actress is more busy on the stage and in pedagogy. With her participation, performances are released at the Sovremennik Theater and at the Pevtsovteatr studio, which she supervises in tandem with her husband. Together with her pupils, Olga enters the theatrical stage with the production of "Krieg" (based on the play by Bertolt Brecht "Mother Courage and Her Children").

In the fall of 2018, Olga Drozdova became the artistic director of the acting course at the Institute of Contemporary Art. And again, her closest colleague in the pedagogical department was Dmitry Pevtsov. Most recently, the actress herself was a student at this educational institution. She graduated from the magistracy with honors on the topic "Research of petrified insensibility based on the plays of A.P. Chekhov" and staged a performance based on it.

The husband supported the actress and even filmed the defense of the diploma on video, which he shared on his Instagram. It is interesting that the artist herself does not start a personal account on this social network, but her photos regularly adorn her husband's page.

Despite the heavy workload, Olga's appearance remains flawless. Now the artist rarely gets to the cosmetology office, but biorevitalization remains her favorite procedure, but Drozdova is wary of botox and fillers.
