Vera Vasilyevna Kholodnaya (née Levchenko, 5th August 1893 – 16th February 1919), Russian cinema actress

Kholodnaya was the first star of Imperial Russian silent cinema. Only five of her films still exist and the total number she acted in is unknown, with speculation ranging between fifty and one hundred.

Official Russian records state that Kholodnaya died of the Spanish flu during the pandemic of 1919. Other stories claim she was poisoned by the French ambassador, with whom she reportedly had an affair and who believed that she was a spy for the Bolsheviks.

The girl in this portrait is Vera Kholodnaya, one of Russia’s most iconic silent movie stars. Born in 1893, she made her screen debut in 1914. She rapidly rose to become the most popular actress in Russia. She appeared in several films in early 1919. The shooting took place in Odessa, where the “Spanish flu” pandemic was raging. The ailing actress could not be saved. The queen of Russian silent film passed away on February 17, 1919. She was only 25.
