Isidora Goreshter Wiki Bio: Early Life, Family and Education
Isidora’s parents, Emil and Dina, and her older brother Eugene relocated to the US from the Soviet Union in the early eighties. After the initial struggle, they were able to find jobs and settle in their new homeland in Long Beach, where Isidora was born. She was named after her maternal grandfather whose name was Izzy, and was called Izzy by her friends and family throughout her childhood. She started performing as early as three years of age.
She also started studying classical ballet at an early age, which made the choice of her vocation all the more easier. Having matriculated from high school, Isidora enrolled at California State University studying theater and art history, and began acting at the Stella Adler Conservatory. Speaking about her early acting experience at the Conservatory, she stated: ‘her (Stella’s) wisdom about the theater and the artist relates to anyone, especially for a young actor trying to find their voice’.
Some of the early plays she did included classical works such as “Waiting for Godot”, “The Smell of the Kill”, “Waiting for Lefty” and “Laundry and Bourbon”.
Career Beginnings
By the time she made her debut on the small screen, Isidora was already an established theater actress. Her first movie appearance came in 2008, in a short movie entitled “Deader Living Through Chemistry”. She made several guest appearances in shows such as “2 Broke Girls” and “Ben and Kate”, and acted in a number of television movies such as “Birds of a Feather”, “T is for Twig” and “Oscar’s Escape”.
In 2013, she was cast in the movie called “Paranoia”, alongside Amber Heard, Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman and Liam Hemsworth. Even though she only appeared in a minor role in this star-studded thriller, it proved to be a crucial point in her career. After that, she was cast as Morgan Tucker in “A Leading Man”, a drama about a talented Chinese-American actor fired from the lead role in a show, struggling to save his career.
Rise to Prominence
Isidora’s rise to prominence happened after she was cast in Showtime’s Golden Globe-nominated comedy drama series “Shameless”, as the Russian prostitute-turned-bar co-owner Svetlana Fisher. The show’s creators initially wrote Svetlana as a minor character, but eventually decided to include her as the series regular, after being impressed by Goreshter’s performance. She played the role from season three until season eight, when she decided to leave the show and move on to other projects.
Speaking about her departure from the hit series, Goreshter stated that she wanted her character to suffer a gruesome death, but the showrunner John Wells insisted on leaving the door open for her return sometime in the future. After “Shameless”, the actress starred in “Happy Anniversary” and “The Petal Pushers”, before landing another series regular role of Kat Gnezdy in “The Condor”, an action drama thriller following a CIA analyst who discovers a conspiracy which could lead to deaths of many people.
The second season of the show is scheduled to air in late 2019.

Regarding the overall wealth of the “Shameless” star, authoritative sources have estimated that she has acquired a net worth of around $1 million from her acting career now spanning over a decade.
