Leah Floym

F. was born in 1870 in Posen, East Prussia.

Her parents were in business.

As a child of eight months, she immigrated with her parents to London, England, where she learned in a school.

She began her stage activities with "amateurs" and Yiddish dramatic clubs, and later she became a professional Yiddish actress.

F. followed the same path to the stage as her husband, Bernard Fishman, withdrawing from her stage activities also with him.
