Star role
Already in 1997, Olga Sumskaya became a star. The biography of the actress indicates that this happened thanks to the series “Roksolana: Nastunya”. In this television project she embodied the image of Anastasia Lisovskaya. The story begins with the fact that a Ukrainian girl, Nastya, is kidnapped by a detachment of Crimean Tatars. The groom Stefan tries his best to save his beloved, but the attempt fails. A simple resident of Rohatyn finds herself a powerless captive in the harem of the padishah of the Ottoman Empire.
While working on the series, Olga refused the help of understudies. The actress even managed the dangerous horse chase scene on her own, which delighted all members of the crew.
The series gained many fans, so almost immediately a sequel was filmed, called “Roksolana: The Caliph’s Beloved Wife.” In this part, Anastasia Lisovskaya is already the legal wife of Suleiman the Magnificent. Her main enemy is the eldest son of the padishah, Mustafa, who should inherit the throne after the death of his father.
Personal life
Olga Sumskaya, whose films and biography are discussed in this article, married twice. Actor Evgeny Vasilyevich Paperny is the actress’s first husband, with whom she gave birth to a daughter, Antonina, in 1990. Evgeniy and Olga divorced four years after the wedding, as Sumskaya began an affair with Vitaly Borisyuk.
Actor Borisyuk is the second husband of the actress who played Roksolana. In 2002, Olga gave birth to his daughter Anna. The couple have been married for many years, but are still happy together.
Hobbies
Olga is not only an actress, but also a writer. At 50 years old, Sumskaya looks great; ancient recipes inherited from her great-grandmother help her stay young and slim. The star gladly shared her secrets with the fair sex in the book “Secrets of Beauty.”
Also, the performer of the role of Roksolana loves to cook and feed her husband and children delicious and original dishes. It is not surprising that her second book is dedicated to this hobby. “Cooking Together” is a work containing many ancient recipes. All of them have been repeatedly tested by the actress herself.
