She was born to a middle class family in Zvenigorod near Moscow and grew up in Yaroslavl . When she was seven, Fyodor Shalyapin predicted her future as a famous actor.

Her first husband, a Soviet economist Andrei Berzin, was arrested in 1930 , however this did not reflect on her successful career.
