Olga Kabo was born in Moscow, the daughter of engineers Igor Yakovlevich and Ada Nikolayevna Kabo. From an early age her parents engaged her in many artistic activities: she studied ballroom dance, rhythmic gymnastics, and even entered the cosmonaut's studio. Olga studied English at a special school with advanced English courses, and attended art and musical courses, the latter at the Moscow Conservatory. Aged 15, she appeared in two films, the youth drama And Everything Returns (by Yaroslav Lupyi) and Vitaly Makarov's musical film No Joking. Having graduated from secondary school, Olga joined the Treater studio at the Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute. She continued her education at the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography where she joined the class of Sergey Bondarchuk.
Olga Kabo’s first success in film came with the part of Isabella in Sergey Tarasov's The Adventures of Quentin Durward (1988). She became famous in 1989 for her role in Lysistrata Comedy (featuring some nudity scenes) which brought her the reputation of a Russian movie sex symbol. In the 1990s she became internationally known for her roles in The Ice Runner (Lena, 1992) and Burial of the Rats (Anna, 1995). In 2002 Olga Kabo joined the Mossovet Theatre troupe; that year she was honoured with the Meritorious Artist of Russia title.
Private life
Olga Kabo’s first husband was the businessman Eduard Vasilishin. Their daughter Tatyana was born in 1998. After the divorce, she married the businessman Nikolai Razgulyayev in 2009. They have a son, Viktor (born 2012).
Total over 68 movies.
