Elizabeth Kaitan, originally from Hungary, moved to the United States with her family during the late 1960s. She pursued her passion for acting and began her career as a model with the Bonnie Kay Agency. Elizabeth's ambition to become a film actress materialized as she secured minor roles in several notable films, including Woody Allen's Zelig and Arthur Hiller's The Lonely Guy.
