Veteran actor, singer, and stage star Illy Gorlizki, a defining figure in Israeli culture for more than seven decades, has died at 91.
Israeli actor, singer and theater figure Illy Gorlizki, one of the most recognizable figures in Israeli culture across generations, died at the age of 91, his partner and leading cultural institutions said on Monday.
Born in Tel Aviv in 1935, Gorlizki spent more than seven decades working in theater, film, television and Israeli music, taking part in some of the formative moments of Israeli popular culture.
Gorlizki began his theater career as a teenager. At 17, he was accepted to the drama school affiliated with the Ohel Theater and simultaneously began appearing in small roles. During his military service, he joined the Central Command entertainment troupe, where he sang and performed alongside several young talents who would later become pillars of Israeli entertainment.
He secured his place in Israel's cultural pantheon in 1964, when he starred as Shlomo in the celebrated musical King Solomon and Shalmai the Shoemaker alongside Yona Atari. The musical, based on a play by Sami Gronemann, translated and adapted by Nathan Alterman with music by Sasha Argov, became a huge success and was performed about 1,000 times.

KYIV, Sept 7 (Reuters) - The air raid alert in Kyiv was live, warning of approaching Russian jet-propelled drones, but fortunately there were no explosions nearby during the final phase of Alyona Bohatyrenko's labour.
"I gave birth during an air alert!" beamed the 32-year-old, as she lay in her hospital bed cradling her baby daughter minutes after she was born. "None of this is normal, but ... you get used to it somehow."
Doctors at Kyiv City Maternity Hospital No. 2 took a calculated risk by delivering Bohatyrenko's baby on the ward while the skies over the city were under threat.
The same was true for Yuliia Ishchuk, 26, who also gave birth there last Wednesday.

Kolkata: Based on a June 26 order from Meghalaya State Commission for Women (MSCW), Meghalaya Cricket **** ociation (MCA) has slapped a lifetime ban on the state’s Under-23 women’s cricket team head coach and the team manager for an alleged **** ual harassment complaint against the duo.
The state **** ociation has also suspended its honorary secretary, Rayonald Kharkamni, for his failure to take prompt and appropriate action after complaints were lodged twice in Dec last year. The U23 women’s team was playing a tournament in Tripura capital Agartala at that time.
Since no prompt action was taken by the **** ociation, complaints were lodged with MSCW, and the Commission found the duo guilty of inappropriate behaviour following an inquiry. Kharkamni’s role in alleged concealment of the issue has been referred to MCA ombudsman, retired high court judge BD Agarwal.
Board of Cricket for Control in India (BCCI) secretary Deavjit Saikia confirmed that the board has received an email from MCA president James PK Sangma regarding the matter.
“Yes, we have received an email from the MCA president yesterday (Saturday) on the issue. As this is a very sensitive matter, we must check the facts before commenting on this. BCCI doesn’t interfere in all their (MCA) internal matters. However, after proper investigation, if any action needs to be taken, BCCI will take stringent action for sure. BCCI shows zero tolerance (in these matters),” Saikia told TOI on Sunday.
Meanwhile, in its termination letter to the coach, MCA wrote, “The findings of the MSCW establish conduct that is not merely a breach of your contractual and professional obligations to the MCA, but a violation of the dignity, safety and fundamental rights of the women players in your care. The MCA cannot and will not permit any individual found guilty of such conduct to remain **** ociated with this organisation in any capacity whatsoever.”
Distancing the incumbent leadership from the previous administration, Sangma, a Rajya Sabha member who **** umed charge as MCA president in March this year, said, “The Commission found that office bearers who received complaints failed to act despite having knowledge of the allegations.”
Sangma also vowed to fast-track the formation of a mandatory Internal Complaints Committee under Prevention of **** ual Harassment Act. “The absence of this committee is a serious lapse,” Sangma said in Shillong on Saturday, **** uring full cooperation from MCA in any further legal proceedings.
