Deena Trudy

Deena Trudy was born Deena Trudy Goldberg in Edmonton Alberta, Canada, to a Jewish family. Her father, Henry Goldberg, is the son of two Holocaust survivors. Her mother Kaya Barr (Goldberg), born in Mobile, Alabama is a psychology major. Deena's family moved to Palo Alto, California before her 2nd birthday since her mother didn't like the cold weather in Canada, and after several moves, the family settled in Arizona when she was 12 years old. Deena's interest in acting started at a very early age and she began auditioning for plays at the local theatre and begged her mother to attend the children's drama school. Instead, she continued going to public school and started ditching classes and using drugs. Deena, at age 13 turned into a violent, angry young girl. She was considered one of the most violent juvenile offenders in the state of Arizona and spent most of her youth in correctional facilities.
