Biography


Daliah Lewinbuk (or Levenbuch) was born in Shavei Tzion, British Mandate of Palestine (now Israel), the daughter of Ruth and Reuben Lewinbuk (or Levenbuch), who were of German-Jewish and Russian-Jewish descent, respectively.[1][2][3]

At age 10 she met Kirk Douglas, who was in Israel to film The Juggler, and told him she would like to be a dancer. Douglas helped persuade her parents[4] to send her to Stockholm, Sweden to study ballet.[2] Not suited to the climate, she would give up dancing and return to Israel to model. She performed her national service as a goodwill ambassador and appeared in several more films until on a trip to Rome she was spotted on a beach and offered a role in Two Weeks in Another Town, reuniting her with Douglas.[1]


Career

In 1955 Lavi appeared in her first film, Hemsöborna [sv],[2] a Swedish adaptation of August Strindberg's 1887 novel The People of Hemsö.[4] Returning to Israel, her career took off in 1960 when she started appearing in a large number of European and American productions. Fluent in several languages, she acted in films in German, French, Italian, Spanish and English.[2] Lavi was reunited with Douglas in her first American film, Vincente Minnelli's Two Weeks in Another Town (1962).[4]

She appeared in Brunello Rondi's witch hunt-themed movie Il demonio (1963), a film she considered her best performance.[5] She also appeared in Mario Bava's Gothic classic La Frusta e il corpo (1963), and the first Matt Helm film, The Silencers (1966), opposite Dean Martin.[2] Her portrayal of The Girl, Peter O'Toole's love interest, in 1965's Lord Jim was to have been her breakout American role. But audiences' tepid reaction to the film prompted Lavi to accept a new career path, frequently playing a scantily clad femme fatale.[4]

Lavi played European entertainer Ilona Bergen in the 1965 mystery film Ten Little Indians, a film adaptation of Agatha Christie's thriller about a group of strangers with deadly secrets who are lured to an isolated locale and murdered one by one. She also acted as "The Detainer/007" in Casino Royale (1967).[2][6]

She was subsequently discovered by record producer Jimmy Bowien and began [when?] a successful schlager singing career in Germany, with hits such as "Oh, wann kommst du?", "Willst du mit mir gehn?" and "C'est ça, la vie (So ist das Leben)".[2]

In August 1971, her single "Jerusalem" peaked at number 98 in Australia.[7]


Death


Lavi died on 3 May 2017, aged 74, from undisclosed causes[8] in Asheville, North Carolina (USA).[8][2] Her funeral and burial were in Israel.[6]
