Hi everyone! :) My name is Leehee, which means "she is for me" in Hebrew. I have an identical twin, and her name is Hilla, which means "she is for her" . I guess my parents thought it's cute.. It's not the most common name, though, and old people and non-Hebrew speakers always have a hard time with it. That's why I sometimes go by Lee. I'm 23 years old and I live in a central city in Israel. I'm a female, btw. :)
I studied filmmaking for a year before switching to Informal education- because I'm very good with children and I decided that working with them is what gives me the greatest joy. I don't want to be a teacher, though, and that's why I chose this route. I'm currently in my second year and I'm really enjoying myself. As it is mandatory here, I served in the Israeli army for two years between the ages of 18-20, and afterwords I travelled abroad for a while. Then I started my job here in Israel- I work for the Jewish Agency and I LOVE my job. I train young people to be good ambassadors of the Israeli culture in American Jewish summer camps, and that is why I spend a lot of time (at least 4 months out of each year) in the United States.
My two biggest passions are theater and films, and I try to see as many shows and movies as I possibly can. I love all genres- Drama, comedy, musicals, foreign- almost everything except for horror. I especially enjoy old Hollywood movies from the 40's and 50's. A few favorites:
Favorite Movies- Funny Girl, Yentl, The Quiet Man, From Here To Eternity, The Parent Trap (1961 version), Under The Sand, Afterglow, All About Eve, Bringing Up Baby.
Favorite Actors- Barbra Streisand, Maureen O'Hara, Deborah Kerr, Charlotte Rampling, Julie Christie, John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Maggie Smith, Bette Davis, Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Emma Thompson, Jeff Bridges.
On Broadway, I really love Louise Pitre most of all- I think she is an absolutely sensational performer (and a really great lady, too, which doesn't hurt). I also got to see one of my idols, Julie Harris, perform- which was a thrilling experience.
Artists and music I listen to: Barbra Streisand, ABBA, Louise Pitre, Alanis Morissette, The Indigo Girls, Edith Piaf, Josh Groban and of courese OBC albums and movie soundtracks.
3 years ago I would have said the performer I would most like to see live is Barbra Streisand...but I saw her TIMELESS concert in L.A. in September 2000 AND attented the taping of the Actor's Studio show she did in September 2003, so I'm satisfied in that regard. :)
I guess I would have to say Dame Maggie Smith, who is GOD. What I wouldn't do to see her on stage....
Glad to get to know you all! :)
Lee
