Biography


Pogodina was born in Moscow, Soviet Union. Father is Stanislav Bobovich, a chief engineer at a factory, and the mother is Liya Pogodina, an actress.
Due to health problems in childhood, Olga could not attend secondary school normally, so her mother Liya had to give up actress career to maintain daughter's education at home for years. When finished, Olga received school graduation as external degree. At the age of 16, Olga decided to follow her mother's profession and went to Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute in Moscow.
The studies were hard for Olga: her leading teacher was set up against her considering her unsuitable for the profession. Every year the teacher, Marina Panteleeva, tried to drop her out of the institute, but the senior administration made her remain. Over the last year of studies, Panteleeva refused to involve Olga in graduation performances. Thus, as the only exception in the history of the Shchukin Institute, rehearsals with her were individually held by pro-rector Pyotr Popov and a teacher Vladimir Poglazov. Finally, in 1997 Olga successfully graduated with the highest marks.
Upon that, in 1998 she joined Moscow Theatre Center "Vishnevy Sad" headed by Honored Art-Worker of Russia Alexander Vilkin. For the role of Mariana in a play "Tartuffe" she was nominated to the award of the Union of Theatre Workers of the Russian Federation at the festival "Moscow's yearly debutes".
For many years, she collaborated with the theatre "Center for Drama and Directing" headed by Aleksei Kazantsev and Mikhail Roshchin. In 2006 she was a TV host at a social TV program called "Vremechko" at the channel TV Centre.
In 2007–2008 she also was a member of the Higher Council of the Russian political party "Civilian Power".
She is the creator, co-founder and the Director General of the JSC "ODA Film Production" in Moscow which produces cinematographic movies, TV movies and TV shows. As a film producer, Olga created more than 10 movies some of those earned Russia's main TEFI TV award and "Golden Eagle" movie award.

The achievement was: "for the shortest time of artist's preparation for a stunt of putting head into tiger's mouth" (4 days). The movie makers decided to re-create authentically the setting of Nazarova's circus performances, so the tigers had to get used to Olga personally, not stunt performers substituting her. Also the movie authors re-created water circus with tigers, which is especially dangerous as tigers in water may harm people unintentionally. Olga was working on her own there as well, and it was emphasized that there was the sole implementation of water circus with tigers since those times.
