The popular Russian theater and film actress Alisa Grebenshchikova was born in the summer of 1978 in the northern capital - Leningrad.
Childhood, family
The girl was born in the family of the poet and rock musician, the famous Boris Grebenshchikov. Alice's mom's name is Natalya Kozlovskaya. Two years after the baby appeared, the family broke up. Alice stayed with her mother, who after some time got married a second time - to psychotherapist Dmitry Ovechkin. The childhood of the future actress took place in Leningrad. Summer was usually spent on the Karelian Isthmus, where Alice loves to relax now.
Studied Alisa Grebenshchikova in a gymnasium with a humanitarian bias. Parents tried to visit museums and exhibitions often with their daughter. The girl studied at a music school (piano) and attended a journalism group at the university, tried her hand at the teenage newspaper Lenin Sparks.
For a long time, her relationship with Boris Grebenshchikov did not go well, but her father and daughter managed to communicate with the senior classes.
Academy of Theater Arts
After graduating from high school, Alisa, to the surprise of many, filed documents at the St. Petersburg State Pedagogical Institute for Drama. For entrance exams, she prepared an excerpt from the poem "Eugene Onegin." The teachers who were present in the selection committee advised the girl to pick up something easier, more comical for the next round.
In the second round, Alisa Grebenshchikova presented an excerpt from Peppy Long Stocking, after which she was unconditionally enrolled in the Academy.
First movie roles
In the second year, many students assigned their portfolios to Lenfilm in the hope of at least some minor role in the movie. Our heroine succumbed to temptation. And the incredible happened! Very soon, she was invited to the casting of the film "American" directed by Dmitry Meskhiev. Academy students were strictly forbidden to film. Despite this, the actress Alisa Grebenshchikova could not refuse a pretty role. She played Dinka Ogurtsova. Working with the talented Meskhiev and the inimitable Nina Usatova for an aspiring actress has become an invaluable experience.
Work at the Moscow Art Theater
At the Grebenshchikova course, theatrical skills were taught by a former student of the Moscow Art Theater School. She idolized this theater so much that she was able to instill love for him and her students. Alice Grebenshchikova has repeatedly been at the Moscow Art Theater's performances in Moscow. For herself, she firmly decided that after studies she would definitely work on this stage.
In the last year of study at the Academy, Alice took part in the Student Performances Festival. She played a cameo role in the play "My Fair Lady." Grebenshchikov noticed members of the Art Council of the Moscow Art Theater. The aspiring actress was invited to Moscow to watch. After that, the girl was accepted into the troupe.
Her first major and very serious work on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater was the role of a girl who fled to the front. It was a performance of the “Bride of the 42nd year”. Alice prepared the role for four months. She approached the assignment very seriously - she reviewed war chronicles, read literature about the war. The success of the performance was overwhelming. But the most valuable achievement - there were always a lot of young people in the hall.
Despite the fact that Alice soul stuck to the Moscow Art Theater, in 2001 she was forced to leave it. The fact is that she was invited to the series “FM and the Guys” and to the entreprise “Romeo and Juliet” for the main role. Combining such a number of completely different projects with work in the theater was impossible. One entreprise was followed by the following - “Sylvia”.
TV series participation
After Alice received the diploma of an actress, she faced the typical difficulties of all graduates of theatrical universities - she was completely not noticed by filmmakers. Because of this, she began to appear in TV shows and TV shows. After the first experiment, other works followed - “Pale-faced liar”, “Passenger without luggage”, “Best city of the Earth”, “Ondine”. Later, Grebenshchikova realized that participation in the series does not contribute to the development of acting, but rather the opposite.
The actress patiently waited for a jolt that would move the situation off the ground. And he happened. Everything changed a small role in the film "Driver for Faith" by Pavel Chukhrai. This work was remembered by Alice for a long time. She managed to make a small and inconspicuous image one of the most vivid and memorable.
From this moment, the filmography of Alice Grebenshchikova began to rapidly fill with new roles.

On August 10, 2008, the son of Alisa Grebenshchikova, Alyosha, was born. The actress is very happy - she is a wonderful mother who madly loves her son. Alice Grebenshchikova's civil husband - Sergey Danduryan, with whom the actress lived for five and a half years - left her when the woman was expecting a baby. He saw his son only once.
