I was first introduced to the actress when I was very young and saw her in "Pharaoh's Curse" which has, since then, always been a favorite.
Of course, as a child I was more interested in the monster, but over the years as I watched more movies and TV shows I became very enamoured with this dynamic and talented woman.
During the VHS boom I managed to catch Ziva in many films such as "Private Lives Of Adam and Eve", "College Confidential", "3 Nuts In Search Of A Bolt" and many others.
By this time I was a 20 something movie addicted guy and I just really fell in love with her. I can't quite put my finger on it, but there is something about Ziva that rings my bell so to speak.
Over the years I have managed to collect a lot of the films and TV shows she has appeared in such as "Batman", "World Of Giants", "Perry Mason", "Have Gun, Will Travel", and many more.
Ziva Rodann was born on March 2, 1933 in Haifa Palestine, now known as Haifa Israel. She worked in a lot of what people call "B" pictures such as the aforementioned "Pharaoh's Curse", "Tattered Dress", "Macumba Love" and so much more. She even made a handfull of films for Albert Zigsmith thanks to her contract with Universal.
Sadly for fans like myself she moved back to Israel and retired in the late 60's.
I am much older now, but she still gets my engine running when I see her smouldering good looks and hear her wonderful accent. So underrated and yet so damn sexy. They simply don't make women like Ziva anymore.
As far as I have been able to determine, the lovely Ziva is still with us at the age of 92.
