A. was born on 4 January 1892 in Lodz, Poland.

Her parents were the owners of a restaurant where Yiddish actors used to meet.

She learned privately.

At the age of fourteen she was taken by actors to Odessa to Fishzon and put into the chorus.  There she was for several months until the troupe came to Yekaterinoslav, where she had her father, who didn't want her leave "with his actors", and she was sent home. In Lodz she went into the chorus of Kaminski, and from then she again went around with various troupes as a chorus singer, and when in Odessa with Kaminski the actor Naroslavska became sick, A. performed in the role of "Heyse babkelekh" in "Koldunye".

Since 1913 she began acting as a soubrette as Lebedeff's partner in Zandberg's Lodz Grand Theatre. During the war, she acted under the name of Sonia Bezman, in Russia in the troupes of her husband, Iser Bezman and of Bezman-Young, and since 1925, she returned to Lodz and entered into the local member troupe.
