In 2005, Rudberg enlisted as a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces. She served in the IDF theatre of the Education and Youth Corps.[2]

Career

Rudberg was discovered by a model agent at age 13.[3] She became a model for the shoe brand Skechers and has featured in international magazines, including Maxim, and modeled for brands, including Remington Products.

In 2003, Rudberg appeared in Israel Channel 2's telenovela Love Around the Corner.

In 2004, she took part in Festigal, an annual Israeli song and dance show for children, and has taken part many times since.[4]

In 2006, she appeared in Israeli telenovela HaShir Shelanu. She has subsequently appeared in many Israeli television shows, becoming one of Israel's more popular actresses during the early and mid-2000s and being voted as "Israel's sexiest woman".[5][6]

Personal life

Rudberg has led a campaign to raise funds for the treatment of skin cancer in Israel.[8]
