Israeli Actress Anat Waxman Shifts to Teaching Acting to Aspiring Performers

Anat Waxman, a veteran Israeli actress known for her roles in the comedy series "Life Is Not Everything" and films like "Lilesda" and "Nina's Disasters," announced a new chapter in her career by offering acting lessons. On August 5, 2026, Waxman posted a video on her Instagram inviting anyone interested in improving their acting skills for auditions, television, film roles, or drama school admissions to contact her. She expressed enthusiasm about helping aspiring actors and guiding them through the audition process.

Waxman, 65, has had a prolific career in Israeli theater and screen acting. About a year ago, she publicly shared her struggle with treatment-resistant major depression, describing a difficult two-and-a-half-year period. Speaking on the podcast "From the Fracture" with Tzachi Eliyahu, she detailed the dark and frightening experience of depression and emphasized her hope to inspire others facing similar challenges. She credited a combination of three approaches for her recovery, with one proving particularly effective.

This career shift to teaching marks a new phase for Waxman, who remains active in the Israeli entertainment industry and now aims to support the next generation of actors through her personal experience and professional expertise.
