L. was born in 1915 in
Warsaw, Poland. In 1929 she performed in the chorus of
the Skala Theatre, while at the same time learning in a
gymnasium.
In 1931 she was engaged in
the small-arts theatre "Ararat" by the poet Moshe

In 1937 she went on a world
tour with the "Yiddish bande", acting in Lithuania,
Lettland (Latvia), Belgium, France and in 1939 came with
the troupe to America, where she remained due to the

as a soubrette, and later in prima donna roles in
operatic repertoire in the Yiddish theatres of Detroit
and Chicago.
In 1943 L. became a member
of the Yiddish Actor's Union and began to act in New

various troupes across the Yiddish communities across
the land.
In 1954 She went, her
husband, to guest-star in South America: she acted in
Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, and from there they went
to guest star in the state of Israel in Yiddish, and
then came back to America, where she acted in various
theatres. |
