| Shelly Feldman
Ana�s Nin
Shelly Feldman is an Israeli-born actress.
After graduating from Israel's leading acting school, the Nissan Nativ Acting Studio, she joined the Haifa Theater - one of the country's top repertory theaters at the time, where she played in many classical and contemporary plays and also led the Theater's comic improvisation show. Along with her theatrical work, Shelly embarked on a successful film and Television career.
While working as a theater and screen actress, Shelly became the Managing Director of the Israeli SAG. Her position in the organization enabled her to create a program in which children in underprivileged neighborhoods received free acting classes and attended theater and cinema shows for free; believing that culture deserves to get as much attention as politics, if not more...
Shelly moved to NYC at the end of 2004 "with a suitcase and a hubby". She acted in Dean/Don, a one act play she co-wrote with her husband Yuval, as part of the Ensemble Studio Theater's "Octoberfest". Shelly has several other New York credits, including the Off-Broadway production of DAI (u/s). She is a recipient of the Best Leading Actress Award at the Israeli Short Film Festival.
