Deena Trudy was a juvenile delinquent who changed her life, closely missing an adult transfer to prison. Born Deena Trudy Goldberg in Edmonton Alberta, Canada, her father Henry Goldberg is the son of two Holocaust survivors and obtained a Ph.D. in Operations Research at Cornell University. Her mother, Kaya Barr (Goldberg) is a psychology major and homemaker. Deena has twin brothers, Paul and Michael. After her first birthday, the family moved from Canada to Palo Alto, CA. Continuing moves throughout her youth, Deena also lived in New Jersey and New York. At age 12, they moved to Scottsdale, Arizona and her parents divorced soon after leaving her to help care for her younger siblings.
She began getting in trouble with the law in Arizona and after numerous arrests, her crimes landed her in a long-term locked juvenile facility. Deena was sent to the unit for violent offenders due to charges of multiple assaults but also spent time in other locked facilities during her teenage years. She was regularly housed in solitary confinement after suicide attempts and charges against staff and inmates while incarcerated. Deena was released on her 18th birthday, after the judge decided against a transfer to prison for multiple years behind bars due to crimes committed inside of the facilities.
After her release from Arizona Juvenile Corrections care, Deena made the decision to change her life. She got a degree in Business and planned to move forward with a career in marketing but was more interested in acting and film production. Hitting Arizona's independent film circuit acting, Deena was chosen for roles in features, shorts and local commercials. Trudy's first time on the big screen was in the 2007 Warner Bros. film Lucky You as an extra featured poker player. She has also appeared in numerous television series including House, CSI, Heroes, The Office and NCIS. A turning point in Deena's career occurred when she co-created, produced and directed a web series, Toke N' Choke Dispensary beginning in 2013. She directed several short projects following the series and her unique perspective has intrigued audiences around the world.
Deena is openly bisexual but has made public statements that she prefers no label to her sexuality. Deena's striking good looks even made her the target of a "girl-girl virgin" competition on social media with all girls choosing Deena as their first time girl sex partner making her a diversified sex symbol worldwide. Deena has joked her female fan base has made previous boyfriends jealous and prefers to keep her relationships private.
Trudy's experience as a content creator, director, producer, and actress, combined with her style of storytelling and audience engagement makes her invaluable in the evolving entertainment industry.
Deena Trudy has come a long way from her criminal youth and is on her way to becoming one of the top new triple threat actor-director-producers to look out for in Hollywood.
