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:
“I believe that if we are to survive as a planet, we must teach this next generation to handle their own conflicts assertively and nonviolently. If in their early years our children learn to listen to all sides of the story, use their heads and then their mouths, and come up with a plan and share, then, when they become our leaders, and some of them will, they will have the tools to handle global problems and conflict.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
“‘So passeth, in the passing of a day,
Of mortall life the leafe, the bud, the flowre,”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
