Alexandra Volkova - representative of the third dynasty of actors

For the role of singer Galla in the television movie “Courage”, actress Alexandra Volkova deservedly won praise from the diva herself. To plunge into the seventies and at the same time “try on” the collective image of the singers of this generation is always exciting and interesting, says Alexandra. She herself belongs to the acting dynasty in the third generation, and, apparently, it was not by chance that her father, Nikolai Volkov, Jr., starred with Pugacheva in the film "The Woman Who Sings."

The young actress of the Lenkoma Theater and herself decently performs the vocal parts, but in the film the songs of Alla Pugacheva were entrusted to Dina Garipova, which many remember in the musical contest “Voice 3”.

Alexandra Volkova. Biography

Alexandra was born on September 25, 1985 in Moscow. The only and beloved daughter of actor Nikolai Volkov from his second marriage grew up with three siblings and one cousin. Keeping up with the boys, she climbed trees, climbed a pipe to the balcony of the second floor, and her father, once taking her with him on a tour to Riga, took him to the pool and for pedagogical purposes let him go in the water, believing that the self-preservation instinct would work ...

Many years have passed since then, Alexandra Volkova learned to swim, but is still afraid of the pools.

Acting dynasty

One can not say a few words about the grandfather of Alexandra - Nikolai Volkov Sr. - the leading actor of the Odessa Theater, who is known to many as the performer of the role of the Old Man-Hottabych.

The mother of actress Volkova Vera Viktorovna graduated from LGTMiK and now teaches at the school "Cooperation", in which Alexandra and her brothers studied, the world art culture (MHC).

In school years, Alexandra Volkova participated in many school competitions for readers and skits, and also visited the volleyball section. Despite her internal shyness, Alexandra tried her hand at a modeling agency, played the piano, studied dancing, tap dance, and so on. But her real love was the scene. Only on the stage of the theater does the actress feel comfortable.

After graduating from high school, Alexandra Volkova without hesitation submitted documents to the Shchukin school. At the exams, the girl had to hear comments like the fact that once from an acting family, she would pass through a doom. But in fact, the artistic director of the course, where Alexandra, Yuri Veniaminovich Shlykov, went to all said at once that Volkova would score one point in all exams, since she already has an advantage.

Theater "Lenkom"

Difficulties did not push the girl away, and in 2006 she graduated with honors from the institute and was accepted by Mark Zakharov at Lenkom. But before that, the aspiring actress went through two rounds of viewing (as it was instituted by the artistic director of the theater).

The actress remembered her first arrival in the theater forever. She rehearsed the role of Dunyasha in the play “Marriage” and when she entered the theater, she was stunned: in front of her were eminent actors. Alexandra Volkova “live” saw Alexander Abdulov, Oleg Yankovsky, Leonid Bronevoy, Alexander Zakharov ...

Colleagues were friendly and encouraged the novice actress, suggesting how best to play your character. Mark Anatolyevich himself offered to play Dunyasha the deaf and dumb, and the girl’s excitement subsided. Alexandra felt free and comfortable. Having examined the girl’s extraordinary talent, Mark Zakharov now entrusts her with the main roles in many performances, such as Juno and Avos, where she plays and sings the role of Conchita, The Jester Balakirev, Crazy Day, or The Marriage of Figaro.
