film
In the meantime TV commercial roles started coming in, such as Nissan, Tolle, Panasonic, etc. From this, straight road lead to acting in films, TV series, small roles at first, while she also finished college and graduated from Case Western Reserve University with an MBA degree. She moved to Los Angeles in her twenties, where she attended the prestigious acting school of Ivana Chubbuck in Hollywood. She played with Eric Roberts in Dark Moon Rising, or Justin Timberlake and Cillian Murphy in In Time. A mentor for her became Ryan O’neal, the Love Story star who’s friendship helped her a great deal in finding her way in Hollywood, and also getting into SAG. (Screen Actors Guilt).
photography
While modeling and acting, she started taking photography classes at Santa Monica College. After the first actor headshots, she oriented towards movie stills photography, to stay in the film industry. The Hungarian film community and its Los Angeles glue, Gabor Csupo’s friendship (creator of The Simpsons, Rugrats and many more) was also tremendous help in navigating the Industry and staying sane at the same time.
She decided to move back to Budapest after 10 years living in LA, and almost immediately got an offer from HBO to shoot in the prestigious TV drama series, In Treatment, and later Easy Living. She ended up working with HBO for 5 years, and also worked with Sony Pictures Television network as still photographer. She worked on numerous movies and TV series too. (see IMDb)
