She was born in Leninakan on May 15, 1940. Svetlana became the second child in the family. The first is an older brother named Valery. In 1953 her younger brother Oleg was born.

The biography of Svetlana Svetlichna in her childhood abounds with crossings. Her father, Athanasius Svetlichny, was a military man, so the service often changed his place of residence. So, having been born in one place, the girl entered the school in another - in Akhtyrka (this is the Sumy region). She graduated from the school in Sovetsk, a city in the Kaliningrad region.

Her mother (in the nee Maria Zolotareva) has always dreamed of her daughter becoming famous. In many ways the biography of Svetlana Svetlichnaya has developed in this way thanks to her.

After graduation, the girl decided in 1958 to go to VGIK. By that time, her father had just retired, and at that time the family settled in Melitopol. Svetlichnaya went to Moscow and, having successfully passed the entrance examinations, studied at VGIK for five years. She graduated from the institute in 1963.

Even while studying, she played in some performances, except for this, managed to star in her first film - "Lullaby" (it happened back in 1960, when Svetlana was only 20 years old). Therefore, by the time the high school graduated, there were no special problems with finding a job.

So, Svetlana Svetlichnaya's biography tells us that in 1963 she already worked at the Studio Theater.

After that, she starred in several films, which, however, did not bring her great fame. These are such pictures as "Clean Ponds", "Thirty-Three", "Hero of Our Time", "I'm Twenty Years" and some others.

The truly famous Svetlana woke up in 1968, immediately after the release of the "Diamond Arm", where she played the insidious seductress Anna Sergeyevna.

Film critics (and the audience too) note that this is the brightest and most memorable part of it. Later, Svetlichnaya played in several dozen paintings, among which, for example, the series "Seventeen Moments of Spring". There her partner in the crew was Vyacheslav Tikhonov himself.

Biography Svetlana Svetlichnaya was not without a beautiful romantic story.

Even while studying at VGIK, Svetlana met Vladimir Ivashov, who by that time had already become a celebrity, starring in the famous film "The Ballad of a Soldier." And although the girl has always had many admirers, Svetlichna, as she herself says, no one, except her future spouse, was interesting.

They had two sons: Oleg and Alexey. The second one also has a son - Vladimir.

They lived together for thirty years. But it so happened that after a complex operation Vladimir Ivashov died. After a while Svetlana Svetlichnaya remarried, but the marriage with Sergei Sokolsky did not last long. Since then, the actress lives alone.
