Deborah Liss is a Brazilian-American actress and writer deeply passionate about the world of storytelling. From her earliest memories, She has been captivated by the magic of words and the power of the stage. She was born in Lages, a town in southern Brazil, and raised in Blumenau, two cities that the artist dearly loves.
With a profound connection to the English language from an early age, Deborah dreamed of making her mark in the world of acting and writing in Hollywood. This aspiration led her to pursue acting studies in Los Angeles, where fate brought her together with her husband, who shares the same artistic soul as Deborah. In 2015, the actor took the bold step of moving to the USA, an essential moment that set her dreams in motion.
However, life dealt its most heart-wrenching blow when her mother passed away in 2016. She carried the immense weight of guilt and sadness for not being there for her, losing sight of her purpose, and feeling trapped in a hopeless state. Yet, as the years passed, she came to believe that her mother’s energy guided her, placing the right people in her path. They reminded her of her purpose as an artist and helped Deborah break free from the self-imposed chains. The actor found comfort in writing scripts once again. She wrote a short film called “My Violet Energy” in memory of her mom Isabel, set to be produced next year as an animation. As she continued to create stories, “Catharsis” came along, a feature film in which she also plays the lead role, currently in post-production.
Without a doubt, art and the supportive people surrounding her saved the artist. She will forever be grateful for the transformative power of art. It truly has the ability to save lives, and she thinks that’s one of the biggest reasons why she has this deep passion for storytelling.
