Thekla Tolstoy was born in the family of Nikita Ilyich and Svetlana Mikhailovna Tolstoy, professional and enthusiastic philologists.
She graduated from two schools - English and music, during school holidays she starred in secondary roles in films.
In 1994, she graduated from the Lomonosov Moscow State University (Department of Slavic Studies), where she studied in postgraduate studies, since the same time she taught at the RSUH - in short, she always enjoyed foreign languages.
She worked as a waitress at the Crew Club.
In 1995, she entered GITIS at the director’s faculty, M. Zakharov’s course, finished her studies in 2000. During her studies in the theater she came to television, worked as a director, was one of the presenters of the program “Vremechko” of the Author’s TV, took calls live on the program “Night Flight” (issue of the same Author’s TV), which is shown on the channel “Culture”, but without the participation of Thekla Tolstoy – now it is easier to imagine her as a guest of the program. At least one of the guests - Evgeny Kolobov, artistic director of the New Opera Theatre - has already made a statement: I single out an event from my own life - acquaintance with Thekla Nikitichny Tolstoy. I met you today.” It is said in a joke, but the audience and participants of the program definitely remembered and loved Thekla.
She spends her free time, in addition to her apartment on Bolshaya Ordynka, at the congresses of the Tolstoy family regularly held in Yasnaya Polyana (Fekla himself is a great-great-granddaughter to Lev Nikolaevich).
This year I was at the convention for only one day and tried to communicate with everyone – I approached, introduced myself, and after a few minutes it seemed that we had lived half our lives together. I hope Lev Nikolayevich would recognize us and would like to join us. It seems to me that our gatherings are somewhat similar to what happened in Yasnaya Polyana during the life of my grandfather. He had 13 children, dozens of grandchildren, the house was full of relatives.
from an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda on August 10, 2002
In 2002, at the invitation of the producer S. Shumakov came to NTV as the leading TV magazine "All at once!", where he works to this day, every Friday talking about the news of show business together with Peter Fadeev. Her journalistic activity is not limited to television, Thekla is also listed as a special correspondent of the newspaper under the original name "Gazeta", writes articles and interviews a variety of interesting personalities - from Viktor Shenderovich to pop stars.
With the musical show business she is connected and participation in the project "Become a star!", well known to all of us - in the summer of 2002, unexpectedly for herself, she was on the jury of this competition. But this, as usual, is a completely different story that will be told some other time. Doesn’t anyone else know her?
