For the role of the singer Galla in the television movie Courage, actress Alexandra Volkova deservedly received praise from the prima donna 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, Alexandra believes. She herself belongs to the acting dynasty already in the third generation, and, apparently, it is no coincidence that her father, Nikolai Volkov Jr., starred with Pugacheva in the film “The Woman Who Sings.”

The young actress of the Lenkom Theater herself quite decently performs vocal parts, but in the film, Alla Pugacheva's songs were entrusted to Dina Garipova, whom many remember from the Voice 3 music competition.

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 the pipe to the balcony of the second floor, and her father, once taking her on tour to Riga, took herinto the pool and let him go in the water for pedagogical purposes, believing that the instinct of self-preservation would work …

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

Acting dynasty

It is impossible not to say a few words about Alexandra's grandfather - 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.

Only on the stage of the theater does the actress feel comfortable.

After graduating from high school, Alexandra Volkova without hesitation applied to the Shchukin school. At the exams, the girl had to hear remarks in her address, such as that once from an acting family, she would go through the pull. But in fact, the artistic director of the course where Alexandra got, Yuri Veniaminovich Shlykov, immediately announced in front of everyone that Volkova would drop one point in all exams, since she already has an advantage.

Lenkom Theater

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