Early life
Lavi was born and raised in Ramat Gan, Israel to a Jewish family. As a child, she suffered from asthma, and had to use a nebulizer for 45 minutes at a time. During that time, she watched movies, and "fell in love with cinema". One of her early inspirations was the performance of Israeli-American actress Natalie Portman in The Professional.[1] Another of her role models was Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer.[2]
Lavi studied ballet and modern dance at the Kiarat Sharet School of Arts in Holon. She then studied acting at the Sophie Moskowitz School of Acting in Tel Aviv.[3]

Among her earliest English-speaking roles was Cordelia in a 2006 production of King Lear, starring and directed by Tom Badal.[3]
Starting in 2009, Lavi had guest appearances on television shows including Entourage, The Closer, Ghost Whisperer, Criminal Minds, CSI: Miami and In Plain Sight.[3]
She has also appeared in films including Tales of an Ancient Empire (2010), Street Kings: Motor City (2011) and House of Dust (2013).
