Her father was a chemist, her mother a teacher. Right after high school she was accepted to VGIK (the All-Union State Institute of Cinematography). She was given small parts in several movies while still a student. In 1955 she was chosen for the lead in The Forty-First, a film after a short story by Boris Lavrenyov. The film was very successful all over the country and in 1957 it was shown at the Cannes Film Festival where it got a very good reception. A new café in Paris was named after her.At home Izvitskaya was made a member of the Association for Cultural Relations with Latin American countries which gave her an opportunity to travel outside of the USSR.She starred in several more movies; however, none of them was on the level of The Forty-First. Izvitskaya was getting depressed. She made several more attempts to work in films but parts were getting smaller and more scarce. In 1971 her husband, actor Eduard Bredun, left her. She had a nervous breakdown and locked herself up in her apartment. She was found dead at home which was empty of any food. Her husband insisted that the obituary state "poisoning with an unknown substance" as the cause of death but according the BBC Russian service she died of cold and starvation.Roles in movies 1.1953 - Hercules comes in March - Nastya 2.1954 - anxious youth - Katherine 3.1955 - The first train - Anna Zalogina 4.1955 - Good morning - Masha Komarova 5.1956 - Forty-first - Maryutka Filatova 6.1957 - to the Black Sea - Irina Kruchinina 7.1957 - Unique spring - Anna Boorowa 8.1957 - Poet - Olga Danilova 9.1957 - Communist - cameo 10.1958 - Fathers and Sons - Fenichka 11.1958 - The next flight - Xenia 12.1959 - Man Changes His Skin - Masha Polozova 13.1959 - Ballad of a Soldier 14.1960 - Man with a future - Lola 15.1961 - The World of - Regulirovschitsa Claudia 16.1962 - Chain Reaction - Nadia 17.1962 - Armageddon - Natalitsa 18.1964 - Call the fire itself - Pasha 19.1966 - On Thin Ice - Oksana 20.1966 - Avdotya Pavlovna - Nura 21.1966 - My Dream - Ludmila 22.1968 - People like the river ...
