Early Life
Her mother Tamara Mikhailovna works as a chief inspector in the administrative-technical Inspection of the City of Moscow. Her father Konstantin Vasilyevich works as an artistic tailor and designer. In Guseva's childhood, her father played the violin; it was his violin with which she was depicted in the series Brigada. Guseva's younger sister Nastya graduated from a pedagogical and psychological institute and works as a methodologist in a kindergarten.
By the time she was four, Katya was already part of the modern gymnastics resource group for the Soviet Union's representative team. She also tried figure skating and swimming. Seven years before finishing school, Katya was involved in the Georgian dance ensemble Kolkhida and managed to perform in the Bolshoi.. Yekaterina gladly remembers the never-ending school summer breaks and campfires. She played in NABAT theatre, established by the school principal.
While planning to enroll to Moscow Biotechnology Institute, Katye was approached by theatre director Evgeny Simonov's assistant, who suggested she should apply for the V.V. Shukina Performing Arts College. She gave it a try, prepared for the entry exam during three days, and made it with ease.. Her mother cried when she learnt Katya switched to performing arts. She did, though, appreciate Katya's talent once seeing the graduating piece Esop. Katya played a lot of roles during her study years but her favourite was the 80-year-old from The Last Ones, a play by Maxim Gorkiy.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“The secret of heaven is kept from age to age. No imprudent, no sociable angel ever dropt an early syllable to answer the longings of saints, the fears of mortals. We should have listened on our knees to any favorite, who, by stricter obedience, had brought his thoughts into parallelism with the celestial currents, and could hint to human ears the scenery and circumstance of the newly parted soul.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The future of humanity is uncertain, even in the most prosperous countries, and the quality of life deteriorates; and yet I believe that what is being discovered about the infinitely large and infinitely small is sufficient to absolve this end of the century and millennium. What a very few are acquiring in knowledge of the physical world will perhaps cause this period not to be judged as a pure return of barbarism.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
