She was born on December 1, 1964, in the Soviet Union (modern-day Russia). Her career began in the mid-1980s with roles in Soviet television and film, such as the mini-series Neizvestnyy soldat (1984), where she was credited under her birth name.
In the early 1990s, she transitioned to the Italian film industry, adopting the pseudonym Gala Orlova.
