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:
“Love is the hardest thing in the world to write about. So simple. You’ve got to catch it through details, like the early morning sunlight hitting the gray tin of the rain spout in front of her house. The ringing of a telephone that sounds like Beethoven’s “Pastoral.” A letter scribbled on her office stationery that you carry around in your pocket because it smells of all the lilacs in Ohio.”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.... I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
