Vera Fyodorovna Komissarzhevskaya (Russian: Ве́ра Фёдоровна Комиссарже́вская; 8 November [O.S. 27 October] 1864 – 23 February [O.S. 10 February] 1910) was a Russian actress and theatre manager. She made her professional debut in 1893, after having acted as an amateur at Konstantin Stanislavski's Society of Art and Literature. She is probably best known today for originating the role of Nina in the ill-fated premiere of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull, at the Alexandrinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg in 1896. Though the production was deemed an utter failure, Komissarzhevskaya's performance was highly praised. Read more on Wikipedia
