There are a lot of actors today. A lot of talented people. But there are not so many twins in Russian cinema. And in this review we will talk about such an actress as Olga Arntgolts, who has an equally talented sister Tatyana.
The birth of two wonderful actresses
Olga Albertovna Arntgolts - actress of the national theater and cinema - was born on March 18, 1982 in the city of Kaliningrad in an artistic family. She appeared twenty minutes later than her older sister Tatyana, who is also a talented and sought-after young actress. Her parents - Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Albert Arntgolts and actress Valentina Galich - at that time were the leading actors of the troupe of the Kaliningrad Regional Drama Theater.
Regardless of the external similarity, they are still different
Despite the fact that in appearance Tatyana and Olga Arntgolts are very similar to each other, their characters differ very sharply. According to Olga, when they studied at school, she was very afraid of being late. Therefore, she drove Tanya all the time, who was not at all afraid of being late and was in no hurry. Today, again, according to Olga, her sister is more sentimental, while she has acquired rigidity, sharpness and self-discipline.
Theatrical life accompanied the sisters from an early age
The childhood of the twin sisters passed behind the curtains of the theater where the parents worked, because during the performances and rehearsals they were left in the care of costumers. In school years, Olga Arntgolts was not going to become an actress, she was seriously interested in gymnastics and dreamed of mastering the profession of a journalist. However, the origin from the acting family determined the choice of the future specialty, especially since Olga was not to have talent.
Becoming an actor
Until the 9th grade, Tatyana and Olga Arntgolts attended an ordinary comprehensive school. But in high school, parents decided to transfer them to a group with in-depth study of the acting skills of the Kaliningrad Lyceum No. 49, where the girls studied art under the guidance of Boris Beinenson. Parents were not mistaken, having once directed the talent of Olga and Tatyana in the right direction, because the result of the study was the beautifully performed play “Little Tragedies”.
After successfully passing final exams and receiving a certificate, Olga Arntgolts, whose biography was already connected with the stage, left her hometown in Moscow with her sister to enter the Higher Theater School named after M.S. Shchepkina. The future actress was immediately accepted to the legendary school, her performances at the entrance exams were so sincere. In her student days, Olga Arntgolts did not forget about the theater scene. The filmography of the wonderful actress was replenished with such a production film as "Hanuma". In addition, she played in the performances "Do not wake a sleeping dog" and "Blue Rose".
The first roles and the first popularity of a young actress
The first cinematic experience could be the role of Nata's double (played by sister Tatyana Arntgolts), the bride of Fedor in the multi-part film “Next”. However, Olga Arntgolts could not play them. Her biography was not replenished with these roles in connection with the delivery of the session.
Olga made her film debut in 1999, receiving a role in the domestic series Simple Truths, where she played Masha Trofimova, twin sister Katya Trofimova (played by Tatyana Arntgolts). This was the first work of the actress together with her sister Tatyana.
Great popularity brought the actress the role of Zoe in the film "Black Room". After very successful work, proposals from eminent directors fell on Olga, as if from a cornucopia. With her participation, the films “Three against all” and “Three against all-2” (the role of Lena, the main character), “Russian” (the role of Svetka), “Do not forget” (the role of Nina Sinitsina), and “Barbie's Wedding” ( the role of Polina Zvonareva). Since then, Olga Arntgolts, whose filmography already has a lot of titles, has been involved in cinema in at least 2 projects annually. And this is far from the limit.
Viewers were finally able to see the twin actresses in one movie
Arntgolts Olga and Tatyana were able to fulfill their dream. They appeared in one movie. This happened in 2003, when the detective "Why do you need an alibi?" Olga got the main role and played Angelica. Tatyana got the image of Natasha - the supporting heroine. It should be noted that in this film the sisters played along with such stars as Mikhail Zhigalov, Vadim Andreev, Olga Ostroumovskaya and Alexander Domogarov. It is also worth noting that they wanted to meet with Alexander. And it was impossible to dream about playing with him in the same picture. This was subsequently repeatedly mentioned by Olga Arntgolts.
Filmography, main roles and simply remarkably transmitted images
On her account roles in the films “Take Tarantina”, “Live”, “Commercial break”. In the criminal drama "Hot November" Olga played the main character Victoria. In the film "Gloss" - the daughter of the chief editor of the fashionable glossy magazine Nastya. In the drama "Maternal Instinct" - the main character Lisa.
By the age of 32, the young actress managed to work with eminent directors: Andrei Konchalovsky, Alexander Veledinsky, Robert Manukyan, Olga Shvedova, Rauf Kubaev. And also with the stars of Russian cinema: Alexei Serebryakov, Andrey Chadov, Olga Ostroumova, Alexander Domogarov, Mikhail Zhigalov, Vadim Andreev.
The relationship between two so similar actresses
It must be said that between the sisters there is a fairly strong attachment to each other. Olga admitted more than once that she often felt those moments when her sister Tanya was ill. In addition, she knew the cause of the poor condition.
But because of the acting profession, they cannot be constantly nearby. However, the phone helps out. Sisters often call each other and correspond via SMS. Olga and Tatyana were repeatedly asked what they would do if they liked one guy. The answer to them is ready in advance. They are both ready to leave the young man if he suddenly becomes an obstacle between them.
The actress is wonderful in family life.
Olga Arntgolts successfully developed not only a career, but also a personal life. With sister Tatyana, also a successful actress, Olga had an excellent relationship.
In 2009, Olga goes down the aisle with the talented actor Vakhtang Beridze - a rising star of the theater. Young people did not meet for long and soon after meeting decided to formalize their relationship. The wedding ceremony was very modest, almost a secret. Witnesses of marriage were only the parents of the newlyweds and sister Tatyana with her husband Ivan Zhidkov.
So far, Olga and Vakhtang have not advertised the facts of their family life. Only in September 2013 did the information leaked to the press that the couple had their firstborn, the long-awaited daughter, whom it was decided to call Anna.
Already a short time after the birth of her daughter, Olga began acting again. Over the past 2 years, the films “I Am Near”, “Piranhas”, “Bomb”, “I Go Out to Look for You-2” were released. A young and talented actress took part in the filming of all these films.
What can a popular actress tell about herself?
In her free time from stage activities, Olga Arntgolts and her husband try to walk as often as possible, attend movies and theater, watch the performances of their colleagues, arrange evening meetings with friends, just listen to music. If there is enough time, then the couple can get out into the countryside, take a break from the city bustle. Also, one cannot fail to note the fact that Olga loves shopping very much.
As a child, the talented actress was shy. In those moments when she was simply asked to read a poem, she could forget the words because of excitement. She is very grateful to her parents for giving her and her sister to the Lyceum, where she was taught vocals, movement and stage speech.
Olga during her acting career managed to take part in one of the television shows called "Ice Age", which took place on Channel One. A pair of her was a figure skater Maxim Stavisky. She replaced her sister, who, due to her pregnancy, could no longer continue to participate in the popular project. Video and numerous photos speak of her successful performance.
Olga Arntgolts plans to act in films further
On what this wonderful actress was able to achieve in such a short period, she is not going to stop. She plans to continue to delight numerous fans and a multimillion-dollar audience with her new roles and images. And there is no doubt that she will cope with completely new tasks just fine. It is possible that viewers will see Olga and Tatyana Arntgolts more than once in movies, both individually and together.
