Born on January 17, 1932, in London, she was the daughter of a rabbi from an old Jerusalem family. Growing up in the heart of London's Bloomsbury district, she was surrounded by a strong religious Jewish community.
In her youth, she was an active member of the Hashomer Hatzair movement, and at the age of 16, she made the bold decision to move to Israel, where she joined a kibbutz. Her military service followed, and she became a member of the elite "band of the Northern Command".
After her military stint, she returned to England, where she pursued a degree in acting at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. She honed her craft in London's theater and television scene, and later took her talents to the United States, Canada, and South Africa.
In 1962, she made the transition to Israel, where she began performing at the Cameri Theater, taking on roles in productions such as "Invitation to the Palace", "Galileo", and "The Ghosts Inn". The Six-Day War in 1967 marked a turning point, and she made the permanent move to Israel.
Throughout her illustrious career, she has graced the stages of the Cameri Theater, Beit Lessin, and Habima, delivering memorable performances in a wide range of productions, including "Home Home", "The Frivolity and Hypocrisy", "The Gypsies of Jaffa", "Only Yesterday", "Chekhov Chekhov", "Letters from Venice", and many more.
