Ada Tschechowa

Ada Tschechowa (Russian: Ада Михайловна Чехова, 9 September 1916 – 28 January 1966) was a Russo-German actress and music manager.

Ada Mikhailovna Chekhova was born to esteemed actors Olga and Michael Chekhov on 9 September 1916 in Moscow, Russia.

From a young age, Ada followed in the path of her parents and grew an interest in becoming a theater actress, which led her to attending the Staatliche Schauspielschule in Berlin and private lessons with Walter Franck.

Ada played primarily in the theater for the Agency for Film and Television in the Berlin artist's colony and supervised such people as Angelika Meissner and Rex Gildo.

Until 1934, Ada was married to cinematographer Franz Weihmayr, then to physician Wilhelm Rust until 1950, and finally with boxer Conny Rux, with whom she had a son, Mikhail, called "Mischa".
