The audience saw the young Russian actress Alina Sandratskaya for the first time in episodic roles in 2008.
Childhood, family
The actress was born in the capital of our country on May 22, 1984. Parents thought for a long time what to name the long-awaited child, and in the end decided to combine their names - Alexander and Natalia. The result was beautiful - Al-and-on. The girl’s dad worked as a director, and mom worked as a teacher at a music school.
From an early age, babies relatives and friends of the family noted that Alina Sandratskaya sings well. When she grew up a little, she was accepted into the Moscow Choir of Boris Pokrovsky. Having successfully graduated from school, Alina entered the Moscow State University of Cinematography at the faculty of cinema, theater and television.
As the actress herself recalls, her course (Yuri Nepomnyashchy) was experimental, so students studied at the theater not in the university, but in the main disciplines. At the institute they studied general subjects, passed exams.
Theatre
The training took place at the Vernissage Theater. For the first time, Alina Sandratskaya appeared on the stage in the play “Old Story”. After graduating, the young actress was left to work in the theater that became home, under the direction of Yuri Nepomnyashchy. Over the next four years, she played the roles of Victoria (“Provincial Joke”), Jen (“Maria Tudor”), Sophia (“Woe from Wit”) and others. The theater was musical; accordingly, all performances included dancing and vocals.
Alina Sandratskaya: filmography
The actress came to cinema immediately after graduation. At first, these were tiny episodes. In 2008, Alina Sandratskaya received the first serious role in the serial film "The Circus Princess". I must say that before this work, Alina was entrusted with the role of several naive heroines. Her new heroine Dean is the exact opposite of them. This is a characteristic, one might say, negative role.
Alina Sandratskaya, whose photo you see in this article, does not consider Dean a negative character. According to her, this girl, who from the very first scenes gives the impression of a cheeky and rude person, is actually not like that. She suffers from the fact that she is not loved, but this bright feeling is replaced by money. As a result, the appearance of a typical teenager from a wealthy family for our time. The actress played this difficult role very convincingly and naturally.
Some actors think it’s easier to play a negative character. Alina does not agree with this opinion. She has her own opinion on this - it’s easier to play a negative role for those who are close in organics, but if it contradicts the nature of the actor, then it is incredibly difficult to do.
With special warmth, Alina recalls collaborating on the set with such experienced masters as Anna Kamenkova and Boris Andreev. This work has become a good school for a young actress.
"Wedding ring"
After the filming of The Princess of the Circus, Alina was invited to a new series - The Engagement Ring. In this picture, she got the role of Olga Prokhorova. This is an eccentric and energetic girl who, by the age of twenty, has seen a lot in her life. However, despite all the trials, she remained kind and cheerful.
Alina Sandratskaya very much doubted whether she could fulfill this role. A native Muscovite from an intelligent family with a good education and upbringing should play a girl from a deep province and a dysfunctional family. However, the work on the role was interesting. Olya is a negative heroine, but Alina tried to add a little kindness to her image.
Personal life
The name of the last series was prophetic for Alina - she got married during the filming. The actress’s husband is a bank employee with whom Alina had known for a long time. The young people studied at school together, then they lived in a civil marriage for six years, and finally formalized their relationship. The wedding was modest, the newlyweds signed in the registry office, and in the evening they invited close relatives to a restaurant.
