Full Biography
Born on February 19, 1975, in Tel Aviv, Israel (with some sources specifying the Pardes Katz neighborhood), Nataly Attiya — sometimes credited as Nathalie Atya or Natali Atiya — is a prominent Israeli actress and former model. She began her professional journey early, studying classical and modern ballet for a decade at the Bat-Dor School of Ballet before majoring in theatre at the prestigious Thelma Yellin School of the Arts.
Discovered by a modeling agent while still a schoolgirl, Attiya rose to international fame by age 15, walking catwalks in major fashion capitals like Paris, Milan, and Vienna. After a five-year stint in the global fashion world that took her to New York, she returned to Israel to focus on acting, quickly establishing herself as a major star in television and film. Her career is marked by notable performances in films such as Yom Yom (1998) and the psychological drama Lipstikka (2011), for which she won the Best Actress award at the Jerusalem Film Festival. Beyond her film work, she has appeared in successful TV series like Zinzana and Manayek. After taking a seven-year hiatus to raise her two sons, she returned to the screen, continuing to be a significant figure in the Israeli entertainment industry.
