Olga Budina graduated from the Schukin School. In her second year of study, she began acting in films. The first main role went to the girl in the youth series "Simple Truths", through which many modern stars of television series passed.

Taiga novel ”and“ Romanovs. Crowned Family. " After such a start, the actress’s career began to gain momentum: she appeared in the TV series “The Idiot” by Vladimir Bortko and “Bayazet” by Andrey Chernykh.
However, the artist soon married and for two years disappeared from the world of cinema. And when she tried to return, she was offered roles only in TV shows and television films, such as “Snowwoman's Necklace”.
Actors Budina and Ivan Oganesyan played lovers in this project. Young people met at a resort in the Carpathians at the very moment when Katya was experiencing not the best moments in her life. Ivan comforted her, and, as usual, they began an affair. But even here, poor Katya got an insidious rival.
