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.

“Many a woman shudders ... at the terrible eclipse of those intellectual powers which in early life seemed prophetic of usefulness and happiness, hence the army of martyrs among our married and unmarried women who, not having cultivated a taste for science, art or literature, form a corps of nervous patients who make fortunes for agreeable physicians ...”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories. Listening for them is something more acute than listening to them. I suppose it’s an early form of participation in what goes on. Listening children know stories are there. When their elders sit and begin, children are just waiting and hoping for one to come out, like a mouse from its hole.”
—Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
“He ... was a sociologist; he had got into an intellectual muddle early on in life and never managed to get out.”
—Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
