Noa Tishby is basically a superstar back home in Israel—seriously, her face was everywhere. She started out crazy young, just 16, snagging the lead in the musical “King David” and grabbing national attention right off the bat. Not too shabby, huh? She even scored a full ride to The National Museum of Arts. Pretty much immediately after, she was leading on Ramat Aviv Gimmel, which, if you know anything about Israeli TV, was the show everyone was glued to in the '90s. Her career just kept blowing up. Noa popped up in a bunch of TV shows and movies, and critics loved her performance in “Hamesh Dakot BeHalicha.” On top of acting, she went and dropped an album—“Nona”—which was the first English album by an Israeli artist to hit number one in Israel. That’s a flex. Virgin Records even released it in Japan. She also slayed as “Anita” in Israel’s National Theater’s “West Side Story.” It’s no surprise she landed on magazine covers and giant billboards, even getting crowned “Sexiest Woman in Israel” back in 2007. Then she took her talents to the States. She landed a role in “The Island” with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson, and starred in indie flicks like “Fatwa” and “Connecting Dots” (yeah, that one won awards in New York and LA). More recently, you might have caught her in “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past,” or in recurring roles on HBO’s “Big Love” and ABC’s “The Deep End.” And she’s not just acting—Noa made waves as a producer, selling the first Israeli TV show (“In Treatment”) to HBO, working with Mark Wahlberg, and scooping up Emmys and Golden Globes along the way. She’s got her own company now, spinning up TV, film, and theater projects. Born in Tel Aviv, now living the LA life.
Back in November 2015, she welcomed her first kid—a little boy named Ari Ford Tishby Hinkle. The dad? Well, that’d be Ross Hinkle, her ex-boyfriend. Life, right? One minute you’re just living it up, next thing you know, you’re figuring out baby names and midnight feedings. The timing was wild, too, because her career was buzzing and suddenly, boom, a baby on the scene. Folks close to her said she handled the whole thing like a champ, juggling scripts and diaper changes without missing a beat. Ari’s name is kinda unique, too—it’s got this cool rhythm to it, probably a nod to both parents’ roots. The whole situation stirred up a bit of gossip, especially since she and Ross weren’t together when Ari arrived. Still, she’s always put her kid first, staying pretty private about family life but dropping enough hints to show she’s all in on the mom gig.
