Agata Gotova began her career as a child star in the former Soviet Union's version of The Mickey Mouse Club, the morning show, Budilnik.

She spent her childhood touring Europe performing as part of the famous children's dance troupe, Kalinka, and headlined the troupe's 1989 film, Kalinka. As a teenager, she joined the theater, where her theatrical career culminated with a role on satirist Mikhail Jevanetsky's Political Cabaret, after which she moved to France and attended Sorbonne University before setting her sights on Hollywood.

After immigrating to the United States, she worked on a pilot for Russian Television which focused on celebrity interviews and events. This evolved into the 1999 celebrity interview program, Faces and Names, which ran in syndication throughout the United States for two years, and eventually the award winning series, Autograph. She has now moved on from television and is developing her film career. She is the star of the current motion picture, Say it in Russian, and is also starring as the lead female role in Never Submit.
