- Alona Tal, an Israeli-American singer and actress, was born in Herzliya, Israel. She began her career after serving in the Israeli Defense Forces. Her big break came in 2003 starring in an Israeli film. At the time she also starred in two television series in the country, and also dabbled in music, recording several songs with the Israeli rapper Subliminal. Tal moved in with her sister in New York to take a break from her career. There, she collaborated with Haitian artist Wyclef Jean in the song "Party to Damascus". She also managed to establish herself on American television, beginning with a recurring role in the series Veronica Mars: She originally auditioned for the lead role, but creator Rob Thomas wrote a new character just for her. Tal later snagged a regular role in the short-lived CBS series.

- I had a career at home, and I just knew that it'd be okay if nothing happened in Los Angeles.
- I had family and friends back home. Just because I could potentially feel alone in Los Angeles, that didn't mean I was alone.
- I'm not a real blond... Shocking.
- I always had a weird thing with being the last person somewhere... like a movie theater or a classroom. I get a weird sense of anxiety.
- My closest friends from Israel make fun of me for becoming an American, and my American friends make fun of how Israeli I am... I can't win.
