Aleksandra Sergeyevna Khokhlova (born Alexandra Sergeyevna Botkina, Russian: Александра Сергеевна Хохлова, 4 October 1897 – 22 August 1985) was a Soviet actress, theatre director, writer, and educator.
She had a sister, Anastasia,[1] and was the granddaughter of Pavel Tretyakov, a philanthropist and patron of the arts.
In 1919, she passed the entrance exam for the State Institute of Cinematography in Moscow.
Khokhlova's career in film was cut short when she fell out of favour because of her family's wealth and connections with Tsar Nicholas II.
[2][3] Besides acting and directing, Khokhlova also taught a workshop at the state institute with Kuleshov.
