As a child, Nina Arkhipova loved to sing, dance, and play the piano. Living in Zamoskvorechye, she frequented the theater and began to think about the acting profession. After high school, she decided to apply not only to the studio theater – at the Vakhtangov and the Maly Theater and Russian Academy of Theatre Arts, but also to the law faculty of Moscow State University. Arkhipova passed exams and was accepted everywhere. She decided to stop the choice on the Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute at the Vakhtangov Theater. Her teacher was the famous Cecilia Mansurova. In 1945 she graduated from drama school. From 1943 to 1951, she worked at the Vakhtangov Theatre.
