We can’t wait for Doña Gracia to come to life on screen in our proposed TV mini-series about her life. But we’re thinking a lot about who should portray her — it would have to be someone who could capture her strength, determination, and dedication to family and faith. Who do you think would be the best actress to portray this amazing woman?
Early suggestions have been Catherine Zeta-Jones and Rachel Weisz — keep those suggestions coming!

A TV serial was already composed many years ago by Rochelle Furstenberg and Emilie Roi for Israel TV in a competition for the best script. They won the competition and were supposed to be awarded with production of the series – but it was never done.
I and Dr. Gad Nassi also published a small illustrated booklet for the World Wizo Education Dept. in 1992 on Dona Gracia which was translated into German, French and Spanish.
