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.[citation needed]
Career[]
Tishby received a drama scholarship to the Tel Aviv National Museum of Arts and went on to play the lead in the Israel's soap opera Ramat Aviv Gimmel. Tishby also appeared in Five Minutes Walking and the drama 2.3 Times a Week playing a singer called Ella. Her album Nona was the first full English-speaking album released by an Israeli artist.[citation needed] Nona was also released in Japan by Virgin Records.
In the United States, Tishby appeared in Michael Bay's The Island with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson. She also was cast in leading roles in the indie films Fatwa and Connecting Dots – the latter film winning 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.
She recently appeared in the Showtime drama The Affair, and 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.[citation needed]
Following In Treatment, Tishby formed and headed a joint venture between ITV Studios US and Israel's major 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, a history of Israel and Zionism. It opposes myths about Israel and includes autobiographical details. Meghan McCain included it on her 2021 summer reading list.[8]
