About Agata Gotova

Agata's path to stardom was an unusual one, as she started her career in the Soviet Union, where she began as a child actress on a daily children's television show called "Budilnek," an equivalent of the "Mickey Mouse Club" in the United States, and then went on to a career in dancing for the world renowned Kalinka dance troupe. At age 16, she starred as the headline dancer in the movie about the dance troupe, named "Kalinka," and joined the world famous Jevanetsky theater, appearing in the series, "Political Cabaret." She also appeared in "The Kremlin Christmas Show," "Moscow Festival of Youth," and "Theater de Jardin." Since coming to Hollywood and paying her dues, she has starred in the television series Faces & Names since 1999, and Autograph since 2002. Agata broke into the world of Hollywood in an unusual way also. "One of my regular activities was walking my dog down Sunset Blvd. One day, Drew Barrymore came up to me, not because of me, but because of my dog, Heidi, a little red pomeranian."

It was from this that Agata conceived of a celebrity interview show where the stars speak differently and more reflectively than in other shows. Faces & Names, the first of these shows, featured Agata and Heidi as co-hosts of the show.
