Tatyana Konyukhova was born on 12 November 1931 in Tashkent (Uzbek SSR). Her father hailed from Ladyzhenki near Poltava and her mother was from Zolochiv in Kharkiv.

In 1949 she left, went to Moscow and entered VGIK (Boris Bibikov's and Olga Pyzhova's workshop), despite her father's belief that she was doomed to failure. Quite contrary to her father's misgivings, however, she performed very well there, both academically and theatrically, and soon attracted film directors' attention. As a second-year student, she made her debut in cinema in the film by Alexander Rou May Night, or the Drowned Maiden. In 1955, she graduated from University and worked briefly in Maly Theatre. In the years 1956–1992 she was an actress at the National Film Actors' Theatre. From 1964, Konyukhova was a member of the Committee of the Lenin Prize in literature and art.
