Childhood and youth
The future actress was born on September 21, 1976 in Moscow. Since childhood, the girl had poor health, which is why she could not attend school regularly. Her education was carried out by her mother Liya Alexandrovna, who worked as an actress before the birth of her daughter. For Olga, her mother became the standard of the person the girl would like to become in adulthood. The future artist spent a lot of time with relatives in the Baltic states; her grandmother was from Riga. The climate change, although not for long, improved Olga’s health.

At school, the future actress had a hard time at first. Pogodina studied in a disadvantaged class, where her shoes were once even taken away from her. To get them back, the girl was not afraid to start a fight with the offenders, who were forced to give up the trophy. Since Olga was going to become an actress, she decided to take her mother’s surname, continuing the acting family. Father Stanislav Yuryevich was not against his daughter’s choice, and upon receiving a passport, Olga Bobovich became Pogodina.
Olga Pogodina in her youth
The future actress entered the Shchukin Higher Theater School. The girl chose this institute because it was located near the hospital on Arbat, where she spent almost her entire childhood. Olga studied at the acting department, and, while skipping classes, sometimes visited her children's doctors and talked with them for a long time. Often, studying turned into a nightmare for her; Pogodina did not have a good relationship with the artistic director of the group. Only thanks to the support of other teachers she was able to successfully graduate from college in 1997.

After “Pike” Olga was forced to look for an opportunity to earn money in any way. A dark streak came in her life: first her mother fell ill, then her father lost his job and was forced to sue over debts, and the last point was the death of her beloved grandmother. The actress did not hesitate to appear in commercials and even participated in a political PR campaign.
Son of Alexey Pimanov - Artyom
Alexey Pimanov’s son, Artyom, was also born from his first wife. He also followed in the footsteps of his father and brother. Since childhood, Artyom has emulated his elders in everything. Alexey likes to remember how the brothers often quarreled over trifles, but immediately made up. They shared everything equally and the work too, God forbid that one had less work than the other.
Artyom is already 28 years old, he is married and is waiting for a new baby. Soon Alexey will become a grandfather again and this is a great happiness. He absolutely loves small children and is very happy about his grandchildren. Alexey’s sons grew up to be excellent guys, thanks to their father, who raised them this way.

Olga left the walls of the Shchukin School at the height of the crisis of the 90s. It was unrealistic for an inexperienced actress who had not yet made a name for herself and had no connections or money to get a job. Pogodina did not despair and persistently went to auditions at Mosfilm. But everywhere she was refused, since there were no available roles. Then the artist made a portfolio with photographs and began to storm the offices of casting directors, who also did nothing to help her.
Olga Pogodina at the beginning of her career
She considered her only chance to be an agency that guaranteed a role where it was impossible for an outside actor to get a job. And then Olga decided to get on television at any cost. She began to follow the agency director, minutely studying her daily schedule, habits and hobbies. Based on these facts, Olga made her a lucrative offer.
Impressed by Pogodina’s persistence, the director sent the artist to the casting of the film “If the Bride is a Witch,” where she was given the main role. Olga had to film with Sergei Bezrukov himself, but the only drawback was the lack of a fee. But Pogodina needed roles for her portfolio, so she agreed.

The film “If the Bride is a Witch” was released in 2001 and was an incredible success among viewers. The actress began to be recognized, and offers for filming fell upon her like from a cornucopia. She starred in TV series and feature films.
In 2001, Pogodina’s arm suddenly hurt. After examination, she was given a disappointing diagnosis - enchondroma, a tumor. Due to illness, she turned down a promising role. Health was more important, and the girl began to await the results of the biopsy with horror. Fortunately, the tumor turned out to be benign, but required joint replacement surgery, which was successful.
