Gila Almagor

Gila Almagor is an Israeli actress, film star, and author. In Israel she is known as queen of the Israeli cinema and theatre.

Gila Alexandrowitz was born four months after the death of her father, Max Alexandrowitz, a Jewish immigrant from Germany who was killed by an Arab sniper while working as a policeman in Haifa. Almagor grew up caring for her mother, Chaya, who was slowly losing her sanity after realising that all her family in Germany had perished in the Holocaust. When her mother was institutionalized in 1954, Almagor was sent to Hadassim youth village.
