Olga Kurylenko's mother worked as a simple art teacher, earning a low salary. The family was in dire need of money.

The woman gave private lessons in fine arts, wanting to earn some money, but this did not change the situation. Olga's mother was forced to leave to work. The girl remained in the care of her grandparents.

Olga Kurylenko then did not think about the career of an actress and fame. The girl wanted to be a doctor, like her beloved grandmother.
