Happy Birthday: Mili Avital

Mili Avital

Born: March 30, 1972 in Jerusalem, Israel

Married to: Charles Randolph (4 July 2004 – present) (1 child)

It took me many years to understand that my identity is more Israeli than Jewish.

I knew I wanted to get married and have a family, but it was important that my husband be a Jew; I didn’t want to have to explain what Hanukkah is.

In Israel, I think I have the image of an ‘Ashkenazi woman’ as a stereotype. Someone once told me that I look like a deodorant commercial. But my appearance is misleading; I can be emotionally aggressive, too, and in ‘Law and Order,’ I once played a murderer. I see no limitations. I see both my toughness and the softness.

I loved putting on stories as plays when I was just six. I was the director, the actress and the set designer; I cast my girlfriends in parts, and I suggested to the local kindergarten teachers that we do free performances for the children.
