Tal Berkovich, 1984 – 2026

Israeli actress and dancer Tal Berkovich, 41, died in a car accident on Jan. 29 (she and her brother were en route to their mother’s birthday—her brother is in cirtitcal condition). Berkovich began her career as a dancer, in the Israeli ballet and the Bat-Dor Dance Company, then moved to London and L.A., where she appeared in such TV shows and movies as Payday, Widows, Sprout, Don’t Forget Me, Perfect, and DisGraced. Her most recent product was in the cooking show Game of Chefs, in Romania. “I think a woman should always listen to her inner voice to know what she really meant to be doing,” Berkovich said. “I do believe that all of us know inside, and that you should be loyal to that inner voice.”
