A talent for artistry manifested itself at the age of 5: Katya starred in children's television programs. Soon she began to conduct children's concerts and devoted a lot of time to improving her stage skills. In 1985 Strizhenova performed her debut role in the Leader melodrama. It is worth noting that it was on this set that she met her future husband, Alexander.
In the 90s, the aspiring artist graduated from the Moscow Institute of Culture with a degree in director. Her further career path continued in the capital's theaters.

In 1997, Strizhenova made her debut as a TV presenter of one of the country's main television programs, Good Morning. She remains in this position to this day.
After leaving for television, Catherine began to appear in films less often, but from time to time, pictures with her continued to be released. So in 2003, the actress played in the film "Own Man", and two years later she appeared in the tapes "If I Want - I Will Love", "Ka-ka-du" and "From 180 and above". The last of them became the author's project of the husband of the actress Alexander Strizhenov. It is not surprising that Catherine played in his next film - "Love-Carrot", released in 2007. The audience liked the comedy and received several sequels.
