New York-born and raised Phyllis Glazer is one of Israel's foremost health food mavens, a pioneer in the field who published the first vegetarian cookbook in Hebrew. A champion of healthy lifestyle and the published author of several books, she previously tried her luck in acting. One of the peaks of her short acting career was in the role of a sexy Russian spy in the Israeli movie "The Owl", alongside renowned actor Assi Dayan. But Glazer soon realized that her acting career was about to hit a dead-end, and opted for a different path. She talks to Rogel Alpher about her eventful career and about her childhood - in a totally different America from the one we know today; about feeling like an outsider in the segregated society of the fifties and sixties, and about the process that culminated in her calling Israel home.
