Theatre.Educated at the Prince Alexander Shakhovskoy's troupe as a
dramatic actress, Linskaya debuted in 1841 at the Aleksandrinsky
Theatre in the production of Parasha the Siberian. For ten years she
served at the theatre failing to make an impact, then retired and
returned in 1854, again to little acclaim. In the early 1860s, having
totally re-invented herself as a comic actress, she achieved huge
success in Alexander Ostrovsky's plays, portraying rough-edged
mistresses, brutish house-holders, sly matchmakers and tyrannical rich
merchants' wives.A successful actress and in her prime an affluent
woman, Linskaya died in poverty aged 51, catastrophic marriage said to
be the cause of bankruptcy and physical decline. She is interred in
Saint Petersburg's Novodevichy Cemetery.
