Levenberg was raised in
Kensington, Cape Town. At the age of six, Levenberg made her debut on stage, singing at the Kensington Civic Center. She performed in plays and sang in the choir throughout primary school. Levenberg attended the
University of Cape Town. Despite considering quitting during her second year, she graduated with a
Bachelor of Arts in Theatre & Performance and English Literature. Levenberg performed in several plays in her early career, including
Medea,
Blood Brothers and
Orpheus in Africa, receiving a Fleur du Cap Theatre Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Musical for the last role. Levenberg played Beulah in the 2015 film
Abraham. Beginning in 2015, she has portrayed Mymoena Samsodien in the long-running TV series
Suidooster. In 2018, Levenberg landed the role of Ellen Pakkies in
Ellen: The Ellen Pakkies Story, her first starring role in a film. The story deals with Ellen's struggles with her drug-addicted son, and is based on a true story. Levenberg first began following the story in 2007, and rather than judging her, understood where she was coming from due to the drug problem in
Cape Town. In order to prepare for the role, she moved into a small place near the sea and did a lot of research on dissociation and places in Cape Town. Levenberg also befriended Pakkies, who told her she was a quiet person throughout her life, forcing Levenberg to change her performance. Levenberg is vocal in her opposition to film piracy. She supported the Performer’s Protection Act. She speaks English, Afrikaans, and German fluently. ==Partial filmography==
