Bgan, Olga Pavlovna

Born on November 25, 1936 in Chisinau. Later, the family of the parents of the future actress moved to Moscow. Parents were ardent supporters of the communist idea and older children called Era and the Decree. Olga, too, at first was the Constitution, but when the children found out about it in the yard and started shouting: “Down with the Constitution!” - they changed their minds and the girl became Olya. Olga Bgan graduated from the usual metropolitan school. Then she began to try herself in theatrical productions. It was the experience of stage activity in the future that allowed her to act in films.

The first movie work for the aspiring actress was a small, episodic role in the Soviet film called “Behind the window of a department store”. At the time of filming in the film, Olga was not yet 19 years old. On wide screens, the young artist appeared in a short episode, speaking in the guise of a customer who comes to a department store with a film hero named Yuri to pick up a costume.

The first notable role of Olga Bgan in the movie was the main role of the provincial girl Nadia Smirnova in the Soviet drama "The Man Was Born " ( 1956 , dir. Vasily Ordynsky ). Lyudmila Gurchenko also auditioned for this role, but the director of the film gave the role to Olga Bgan, and she was voiced by Lyudmila Gurchenko (which caused Olga's difficult experiences ^[2] ).

She played in the MDT named after K. S. Stanislavsky . The most famous role is the Little Prince in the play of Catherine of Elana based on the fairy tale of the same name by Antoine de Saint-Exupery ( 1967 ).
