Gennifer Birnbach What did you do or do for work?
I am an actress. I’ve been working since 1977 constantly on stage, TV, and movies. I love my work and love the change in roles I play as I get older.
How would you describe your style as a teenager?
I think as a teenager I went with the trends. I always loved fashion but I wasn’t as daring in my choices as I am today. I think when you’re young you try to fit in more. As you age you’re not afraid to make a statement. Stand out.
How would you describe your style now?
My style today is colorful. Bold. I love accessories. Big statement glasses. But I can’t wear anything uncomfortable. That time in my life is over
What would you do with a whole day for yourself?
If I had the whole day I would relax with a bottle of dry Cava.
Who gave you the most valuable piece of advice and what was it?
My mother is 97 years old. Still independent. Still fabulous. She taught me to make every simple thing a special occasion. Love life.
What’s on your Alembika Wishlist?
I love Alembika’s coats. Sadly, the weather here in Israel doesn’t give me enough opportunities to enjoy them. I’m waiting for the next “attitudes” collection. I loved the last one.
