Alla Alexandrovna Kazanskaya (Russian: Алла Александровна Казанская) (15 June 1920 – 25 June 2008) was a Russian stage and film actress. She began her career at the age of 18 at the Vakhtangov Theatre in Moscow.[1] Her most notable film appearance was in the Academy Award-winning drama Burnt by the Sun (1994).[2]
Composer Aram Khachaturian dedicated the Waltz from his incidental music to Lermontov's Masquerade to her.[3] By the time of her death at age 88, she was the theatre's oldest working actress. She had received the Crystal Turandot, Russia's foremost theatre award, in 2007.[citation needed]
