Biography
Olga Naumenko is a native Muscovite, born and raised in a large family of a lieutenant colonel (tanker) and a housewife. The first years of the girl’s life were spent in Germany, where her father served there. In 1995, Naumenko Sr. was transferred back to Moscow, where Olya went to school.
The actress says about her childhood: “My family is not artistic. Lived in Moscow. Dad is a military man, mom raised children - seven girls and one boy. I'm third from last. As a child, I played a lot in amateur performances. I went to a dance club, and then studied in a drama studio at the Palace of Pioneers on the Lenin Hills, together with Natasha Gundareva. With her we entered the Shchukin School. I was not accepted. I came in high heels, with brightly painted eyelashes and, apparently, prepared a repertoire that did not match my appearance... I cried so much!
The next year everything was different. Before the exam, she retired to the forest. I rehearsed a lot. I came to the exam without makeup, modestly dressed, in low-heeled shoes, with a long braid... and my soul was completely filled with free forest air. I felt internally strong, calm and confident. And she did it easily.”
Childhood and family
Olga Naumenko was born in the Russian capital in 1949, on December 6. Her father was a lieutenant colonel in tank forces. Our heroine’s mother received a higher pedagogical education, but devoted herself to raising children. In addition to Olya, there were 6 more daughters and one son in the family.
Alexander was the youngest child, very sickly. The father waited a long time for an heir and especially distinguished him from other children. And the man treated his daughters evenly. As for Olya, she was my mother’s favorite.
Our heroine's early childhood took place in Germany. Her father was sent there for military service. He could not be separated from his family for a long time, so he took his wife and children with him. In Germany, Olya and her sisters had many toys that Soviet girls could not even dream of. This includes a dollhouse, plush animals, and talking dolls.
In 1955, the Naumenko family returned to Moscow. They were given a spacious apartment. A year later, Olya went to first grade. The girl studied well and attended hobby groups.
In high school, she enrolled in the Theater of Young Muscovites, located on the Lenin Hills. Teachers noted her hard work, competent speech and ability to stay on stage.
Theater
In 1972, Naumenko graduated from the Theater School. B.V. Shchukin and was immediately accepted into the troupe of the Moscow Drama Theater. Gogol (since 2013 - “Gogol Center”), to whom she remains faithful to this day.
“The theater career began with a series of urgent assignments,” shares the artist. — To be honest, I liked such extreme stories, they had adrenaline. But I never claimed to retain this or that role. I had to help out my colleagues - I helped out..."
Over the years of service in the theater, Olga managed to play many leading roles and work with famous directors. Recently, the actress also began to appear in enterprise performances.

Studies

Attending dance and drawing clubs, as the actress herself says, was not what she wanted to do; she wanted to perform on stage. And so it happened, the next step on the path to a career as an actress was a drama studio.
Olga Naumenko in her youth
Olga Naumenko's debut was bright. She was entrusted with the main role in the play “Wild Dog Dingo”. Olga spent all her free time at the Theater of Young Muscovites.
Few people know that Olga did not enter the school the first time. Arriving for the second time, she was accepted into “Pike,” which was the name of the school named after B. Shchukin in 1968. 4 years later, she was already a graduate with a diploma in hand.

Cinema
“For the first time on the set I was still a schoolgirl. She played in the short film “The Long Day of Kolka Pavlyukova,” which she herself had never seen,” Olga says about her film debut.
Then the young actress was invited to play the main role in Richard Viktorov’s youth drama “Cross the Threshold.”
"Shadows disappear at noon"
A wide audience became acquainted with Olga Naumenko in the early 70s, seeing her in the legendary historical film by Vladimir Krasnopolsky and Valery Uskov “Shadows Disappear at Noon.” In the film based on the novel of the same name by Anatoly Ivanov, the artist reincarnated as Varya Morozova. Her ensemble included such celebrities as: Pyotr Velyaminov, Nina Ruslanova, Sergei Yakovlev, Alexandra Zavyalova, Boris Novikov, Valery Gataev, Eleonora Shashkova, Lev Polyakov, Galina Polskikh.
The multi-part film tells about the fate of several generations of fellow villagers in the Siberian village of Zeleny Dol from the advent of Soviet power until the 50s.
The action takes place on the picturesque banks of the Svetlikha River. Before the eyes of the audience, through the example of the inhabitants of the taiga Green Dol, many events of our history pass: pre-revolutionary life, the emergence of the Bolsheviks, the formation of Soviet power, the resistance of the kulaks, the civil fratricidal war, the organization of collective farms, the Great Patriotic War, the revival of the country after the Victory...
“It was after “Shadows...” that popularity came to me,” shares the artist. - Although the fans never tore it apart. Perhaps they are too intelligent for me.”

However, the actress’s calling card was the role of Gali, Zhenya Lukashin’s bride, in the most popular domestic New Year’s film, “The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!”
The artist talks about how she got into the picture: “It was my day. And Natasha Koreneva invited me to a meeting with director Eldar Ryazanov. I was wearing some kind of scarlet sweater, which suited me very well that day. And we just came to this door, she opens the door, and Eldar Aleksandrovich comes out. She says: “Oh, Eldar Aleksandrovich, here’s Olechka, I want to suggest her for the role of Gali. He looked at me like this: “Well, go, do photo tests, you’ll be filming.” And went".
The auditions took place in tandem with Oleg Dahl. But Dahl was not taken, and Naumenko ended up in the star cast. Since then, for millions of viewers, she is an abandoned bride, wondering how her groom ended up in another city on the evening of December 31 and why he went to the bathhouse in the first place: “Girl, which bathhouse? He has a bathroom at home.”
The artist shares: “All my life people have been asking me about “Irony...”, and they are also curious: “On New Year’s Day, do you also watch this film?” Well, am I crazy? Sit in front of the screen and watch footage that I know by heart. Unless I turn it on in the background and enjoy Tariverdiev’s songs.”
After “The Irony of Fate...” Olga Naumenko took part in the film adaptation of the play by A.N. Ostrovsky’s “The Last Victim” (directed by Pyotr Todorovsky), played the main role of Vera in Vladimir Nazarov’s film “The Dove”, played Panafidin’s wife in the popular drama “Medicine Against Fear” by Albert Mkrtchyan.

Actress Olga Naumenko
The boy Sasha was the youngest, long-awaited, but sickly child. The father, according to Olga Nikolaevna’s recollections, especially singled out his brother, but treated the girls evenly. Mom, on the contrary, was very fond of Olya, who was also as pretty as a doll.
The older sisters, of whom the girl had five, helped the younger one and raised her in their own way, and she received a little more sweets and toys.
Little Olga spent her early childhood in Germany, where her father served. There the girl had many good toys that Soviet children never dreamed of: a dollhouse and a luxurious human-size doll. The family returned to Moscow in 1955.
Olga Naumenko in her youth
Olga Nikolaevna was a talented and versatile child; she attended creative clubs at school, and in high school she enrolled in the Theater of Young Muscovites on the Lenin Hills. The girl had excellent teachers who predicted a serious future for her. Classes were held at a serious level: the theater went on tour around the country, Olya rushed to the studio as if on a holiday, school was forgotten as something insignificant.
At the same time, Natalya Gundareva and Sergei Nikonenko studied at Tyumen University together with Naumenko. Olga herself made her debut in the children's studio with brilliance; she was immediately assigned the title role in the play “The Wild Dog Dingo.”
Olga Naumenko
There, in the theater studio, the young actress found her first love. She was sincerely, childishly in love with Valera Belyakovich, in the future a famous director. The three of them were friends: Valera, Olya and her friend. However, the boy preferred Naumenko to his girlfriend, who turned out to be bolder and immediately took the “bull by the horns.”
The girl was worried, she cried for several hours, but, having calmed down, she promised herself to enter the theater institute and become famous.
Even if not immediately, but on the second attempt, Olga Naumenko entered the Shchukin School, keeping her word. Since then, the girl’s biography has been closely connected with the theater, but cinematic roles brought her all-Union fame and love from audiences.
A television
At different times, the actress took part in television projects. She could be found visiting the “Good Morning” program, seen on the talk show “My Hero,” and on the popular Sunday program “While Everyone is Home.”
"That's your business"
In a new role for herself, Olga Naumenko performed in the First Channel project “Your Business.” Together with Natalya Varleya and Raisa Ryazanova in the first pool, she hosted the most ordinary people to try to untangle the tangle of their personal problems. The program was called “It’s up to you...” because the presenters give advice to the heroes based on their life experience, and whether to listen to them or not is up to everyone to decide for themselves.
The artist clarifies: “I had a role that I had not yet played - a meticulous and corrosive presenter, trying to bring the guests to clean water in order to understand their tangled relationships. In life I am completely different. I never bother with advice, and I try to deal with problems myself. When things get really bad, I turn to my family—my sisters and brother.”
Work in the theater
Olga Naumenko began working in the theater immediately after she graduated from college and received a diploma. It was the Gogol Theater. Her most favorite roles were in the plays:
- "Petersburg"
- "Idiots"
- "Ugly Elsa"
- "Tired with happiness."
This is only a small part of the productions in which Olga took part as an actress. It was impossible to ignore Olga’s talent, so almost immediately she was transferred to the main cast of the troupe.
The actress took part in theatrical productions
Olga Naumenko was awarded by the state; in 1985 she was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the RSFSR and in 2005 the title of People's Artist of the Russian Federation.
Personal life
In her youth, Olga Naumenko never stopped seeing gentlemen and repeatedly received marriage proposals from famous directors and actors. She herself was in love more than once, but she got married only at the age of 27 (in the 70s such marriages were considered late). The artist’s chosen one was her stage colleague Alexander Skvortsov. They served together at the Gogol Theater until 2004. Then Sasha moved to the Hermitage Theater.
Olga said about meeting her future husband: “He came to us after GITIS. And I didn’t like it right away. He was plump, with long curly hair, which for me was not a sign of masculinity. In all the performances, he and I, as luck would have it, played love couples, and he annoyed me so much.
But then we became friends. During this time I raised him, he lost weight and cut his hair. In the theater everyone began to ask: “Why don’t you get married?” — apparently, we were so suitable for each other. Sasha was a timid young man, and I am not a timid girl. In short, I took the initiative into my own hands. She proposed to him herself. And we signed.”
Soon the couple had a daughter, Shurochka, but she did not live to see the age of two. An incurable disease took the life of a girl. Many couples get divorced after serious trials. The tragedy only brought Olga and Alexander together. And twelve years later, the actress gave birth to Svetlana. The daughter became the happiness of her parents, who doted on her.
Svetlana grew up in an atmosphere of love and care, graduated from the Moscow Institute of Journalism and Literary Creativity, fell in love with a Frenchman, got married and went to live in France.
In one of her interviews, Sveta said about her parents: “My mother is a pragmatist. Her motto in life is to bring water to the offended... If there is some kind of conflict, she will think it over, step over it, and move on with her life. My father is not of this world, he’s a little bit of a holy fool... My dad is still a sufferer, he’s such a romantic hero.”
In 2009, Olga Naumenko became a widow. She recalls the years of marriage: “I always took marriage seriously, the thought “oh well, if anything happens, I’ll get a divorce tomorrow” never arose. Marriage is not only about love and passion. The romantic veil will fall from your eyes - and what will remain? It is imperative to look at how a man communicates, how he eats, and how he manages emotions.
It was always comfortable with Sasha. I won’t say that I was behind him like behind a stone wall. But we were united and took life easy. To be honest, there was never passion between Sasha and me. The most important thing that has connected my husband and I for 30 years is friendship. While he was alive, I didn’t need girlfriends.”
This was one of the strongest couples in the acting world. For some time after her husband left, Olga lived alone, devoted herself entirely to work, and helped her daughter. Now Svetlana and her husband Antoine have returned to Russia. In the artist’s house there are again a lot of smiles, laughter and heart-to-heart conversations.
The actress spoke about the details of her personal life in the program “The Fate of a Man with Boris Korchevnikov.”
Interview
About your business card
“I have long taken it for granted that, despite the many roles I have played, the audience mostly perceives me as Galya from The Irony of Fate. And I don't mind. Many of my colleagues have acted much more than I have, but they don’t have a business card - a role by which they can be recognized.”
About popularity
“In the biography of any actress there comes a moment when directors offer her different options for developing relationships. This happened three times in my life, even before marriage. And I refused everyone. But I don't regret it. For some reason, it seems to me that I could not bear the burden of popularity.”
About the profession
“My face is like a blank sheet; on it you can draw both a village simpleton and a society lady.”
“In the cinema, I always felt like a guest: if I managed to star in a good film, it’s great, but no, it’s not necessary. I learned to discipline myself a long time ago. It didn’t work out, so it’s not mine.”
“Our profession is wonderful. Just don’t necessarily strive to become a star. Some people believe that fame and success are indispensable components of an actor’s life. But I think we shouldn’t put them at the forefront. This can be detrimental to health and psyche.”
“An actor's success does not depend on talent, but on whether you find yourself in the right place at the right time, who you meet, and whether the director likes you. You can make great efforts to make a career, or you can go with the flow and achieve the same results. I prefer the latter. I direct my efforts only to ensure that, having received a job, I do it with maximum efficiency. And it’s not in my nature to run around film studios and offer myself.”
About Me
“I take care of myself, keep fit, and exercise in moderation. At home I have an exercise bike, an abdominal rocker - every day I devote time to my muscles.
I watch my diet - I don’t refuse tasty things, but I also try not to get carried away. And I don’t spare money on cosmetics and facial care.”
“I generally tend to worry about trifles. Changing your usual environment unsettles you. How many times has it happened - I go on tour and cry. After some time, I calm down, resign myself to fate - and life is beautiful and amazing again.”
“I give the impression of an active, powerful and strong-willed woman. But I always went with the flow and just knew how to behave. If necessary, she became both active and strong-willed. But I liked being weak and defenseless.
Now I'm at a new stage in my life. It turned out that I can easily tolerate loneliness. I have a job - I act in films, play in enterprise performances. I'm going on tour. Do I want to go back? Of course not. I'm quite comfortable at my current age. Men still like me. True, I don't like them. But maybe this is a temporary phenomenon. Wait and see".
“I divide my life into three stages: before Sasha, with Sasha and after him. It was hard to be left without a loved one, but I told myself that Sasha had simply gone on a long tour, and I slowly got used to the fact that he was gone. Then Sveta got married. Letting her go was also not easy, but I got used to living without Sveta. The dog died. I got used to living without her. I took everything for granted. But Sveta returned, and not alone, but with her husband, a dog appeared in the house again, and now it seems that it has always been like this. My “third” life continues, and I hope that there will definitely be something important and interesting ahead.”

Movies
Olga Nikolaevna’s debut role was in the 1968 film “The Long Day of Kolka Pavlyukov.” Then she was invited to star in the film “Not Under Judgment.” This happened by accident: the actress approved for the role did not show up for filming, and the director’s assistant, running into the Shchukin School, came across Olga. Soon followed by the main role in the youth film “Cross the Threshold” about yesterday’s school graduates starting their adult lives.
Olga Naumenko in the film “Eternal Call”
So, while still a student, Naumenko began to appear on the big screen. Then there was the role of Varya Morozova in the television series “Shadows Disappear at Noon.” Her work in the drama about the inhabitants of a Siberian village made the young actress famous throughout the entire Union. The artist was lucky enough to play on the same stage with the stars of the Soviet screen - Pyotr Velyaminov, Nina Ruslanova, Alexandra Zavyalova, Galina Polskikh. The next striking appearance on the screen was the role of Olga Naumenko in the television film “Eternal Call” about the fate of the Savelyev family, where the actress appeared in an episode.
However, her role as Gali from the New Year's comedy by Eldar Ryazanov brought her real fame. And again, chance decided everything. Olga has just experienced a serious shock, because another director refused her the role: Mikhail Ulyanov suddenly considered the girl too beautiful, and her appearance too bright, although he had previously invited her to film.
Olga Naumenko in the film “The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath”
And then the beauty met in the corridor of the same “Pike” with Ryazanov’s assistant, who was filming “The Irony of Fate.” Eldar Aleksandrovich immediately liked Olga, and the director approved her for the role in the star film.
In the same year, Olga became part of the main cast of Pyotr Todorovsky’s film “The Last Victim,” based on the play by Alexander Ostrovsky, where she reincarnated as Irina, the daughter of Lavr Pribytkov (Leonid Kuravlev). The leading roles in the film were played by Margarita Volodina, Oleg Strizhenov and Mikhail Gluzsky.
Olga Naumenko in the film "Dove"
Three years later, with the participation of Olga Naumenko, the youth drama “Dove” was released. The film told about young graduates of the capital's universities who went to construction in Siberia. In the film, Olga Naumenko’s partner was Elena Proklova. Another work of the year was the detective story “A Medicine Against Fear,” which was about criminals using a modern medical drug during an attack.
In 1983, Olga Naumenko appeared in the title role in the film “The Warmth of a Native Home,” and three years later she participated in the creation of Pavel Chukhrai’s drama “Zina-Zinulya.” After a 15-year break, during which the actress starred in only a few films and plays, Naumenko begins to appear on screens again. The new century brings Olga work in popular television series. The actress manages to show her talent in the detective story “Lady Boss”, the sitcom “Sasha + Masha”, and the melodrama “Lyuba, Children and the Factory...”.
Olga Naumenko in the film “A Girl for a Decent Family”
In 2008, Olga Naumenko reincarnated as the mother of Olga Morozova (Vera Sotnikova), the new head of a provincial town, in the TV series “Uprava”. A year later, the image of Nadezhda Kareva in the family saga “Boomerang from the Past” appears in the artist’s collection. The actress was assigned the role of an aged heroine. Naumenko transforms into aunties, mothers and grandmothers in the films “Without a Trace”, “A Girl in a Decent Family”, “Maryina Roshcha”, “The Right to Love”. In the series “The Third World War” the actress’s partners were Vladimir Menshov, Valentina Telichkina, and Lev Prygunov. With the participation of Naumenko, the series “Lyudmila Gurchenko” and the family saga “Family Values” appear on the screens.
