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. It was to Kazanskaya that the composer Aram Khachaturian dedicated the "Waltz" from his incidental music to Lermontov's Masquerade. 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.
