Early life
Noa Tishby was born and raised in Tel Aviv, Israel. Her family is of Ashkenazi Jewish (Russian-Jewish, Polish-Jewish, and Austrian-Jewish) descent.[2]
Tishby served for two years in the Israel Defense Forces as a singer in a military band.
Career
Tishby received a drama scholarship to the Tel Aviv National Museum of Arts and went on to play the lead in the Israeli soap opera Ramat Aviv Gimmel. Tishby also appeared in Five Minutes Walking and in the drama 2.3 Times a Week, playing a singer called Ella. Her album Nona was the first full English-language album released by an Israeli artist. Virgin Records released Nona in Japan.
In the United States, Tishby appeared in Michael Bay's 2005 film The Island, along with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson. She also was cast in leading roles in the indie films Fatwa (2005) and Connecting Dots (2003) – the latter film won first prize at the NY and LA Independent Film Festival. Tishby's television credits include NCIS, Leverage, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, Nip/Tuck, The 4400, Las Vegas, and Star Trek: Enterprise.
In 2018 she appeared in the Showtime drama The Affair. She completed shooting the third season of her talk show Life By Noa Tishby.[3]
As producer
As a producer, Tishby sold In Treatment to HBO.[4] She co-produced the 12 Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated, and Peabody Award-winning In Treatment alongside Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson.
Following In Treatment, Tishby formed and headed a joint venture between ITV Studios US and the Israeli network Reshet to develop, create and produce TV-content made in Israel for the international market. The company was the first to bring a U.S. production to film in Israel with a game show for CBS. Tishby sold numerous TV projects to major TV networks in the US, among them HBO, Showtime, ABC, CBS, Comedy Central and MTV.
In 2008 Tishby's production company, "Noa's Arc", signed deals on three potential television projects, none of which went into US production, based on existing Israeli series: Screenz and A Touch Away with HBO and a comedy with MTV.[5][6]
In October 2020 it was announced that HBO ordered a fourth season of Tishby's Emmy-winning drama In Treatment. Uzo Aduba has been set to topline the series, which will debut on HBO Max in 2021.[7]
Tishby wrote Israel: a Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth (2021),[8] a history of Israel and of Zionism. The book opposes myths about Israel and includes autobiographical details. Meghan McCain included it on her 2021 summer-reading list.[9]
Politics
Tishby founded Act for Israel in 2011.[10]
Tishby was recognized as one of the 50 Most Influential Jews in the World by the Jerusalem Post[11] and was on Hollywood Reporter's Women in Power list of international executives.[12]
She is a contributor to publications such as The Huffington Post, Jerusalem Post, The Jewish Journal, Tablet and Ynet, where she writes about policy, culture and international relations.
Personal life
Tishby was married to Australian media personality, Andrew Günsberg[13][14] from 2008 to 2011.
