Dzhemma Osmolovskaya

August 24, 1938 — Leningrad, USSR (Saint Petersburg, Russia)

Dzhemma Osmolovskaya is a Soviet and Russian theatre and film actress.

She first appeared on the screen in 1957. During the "khrushchev thaw", a melodrama film directed by Vasiliy Levin "The Tale of First Love" was shot based on the novel by Nikolai Atarov, where the aspiring actress played the girl Olya. The picture touched upon the themes of orphanhood and single motherhood, forbidden for those years. Immediately after her first film, Dzhemma Osmolovskaya starred in Sergei Sidelyov's lyrical comedy "The Street is Full of Surprises", where she played the role of Katya, the main character's bride. Her heroines were distinguished by purity of soul and naivety, inner light and genuine touching.

Determined to devote herself to dramatic art, she worked for more than 40 years at the Moscow theater RAMT, where she came in 1964 after graduating from the Moscow Art Theater School. There she played about fifty roles in performances of various genres.
