Hadas Yaron
Biography
Hadas Yaron (Hebrew: הדס ירון; born April 12, 1990) is an Israeli actress. She began acting as a child and made her film debut as a supporting actress in the 2006 film, Out of Sight. Yaron played the lead character Shira Mendelman in the 2012 Israeli drama film, Fill the Void. In September of that year, she received an Ophir Award and became the first Israeli to win Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival.
In 2013, she had another prominent role as Libbi, a Haredi woman and the wife of the protagonist, Akiva Michael Aloni in the Jerusalem-set Shtisel. The show was popular in Israel but also had an international audience through streaming on Netflix.
In 2014, Yaron again played a Haredi woman in the Montreal-set Canadian drama, Felix and Meira. Her performance was praised by Variety: “Yaron has a natural radiance that comes through as Meira starts to open up.
Her expressions show that same precocity Woody Allen saw in Mariel Hemingway when making “Manhattan”: a young woman ripe and ready for an experience, temporarily held back by her naivete. To watch her face light up when she tries on a pair of jeans, say, or illuminated by the lights of Times Square during her trip to New York, is to feel a sense of intuitive identification with the character.”
In 2018, Yaron appeared as Sarah in the film Mary Magdalene, written by Helen Edmundson and directed by Garth Davis.
In 2024, Yaron appears alongside Aloni, Logan Lerman, Joey King, and Lior Ashkenazi in the Hulu series, We Were the Lucky Ones.
