Neva Small Biography

Neva Small is one of the most popular and richest Actor who was born on November 17, 1952 in New York, United States. Small, then 14, recorded four singles in 1966 for MGM Records.

Small made her film debut as Chava, the third of Tevye’s five daughters, in the 1971 film adaptation of the long-running Broadway musical Fiddler on the Roof. Her character leaves the Jewish faith to marry a gentile. While Small had wanted to audition for the original Broadway show, she was told by the play’s producers that she “wasn’t Jewish enough”. She screen-tested for the characters of both Hodel and Chava, and won the latter role. Since she was under 18, she required a guardian during the filming; her older sister Gail assumed this role.

She also appeared in Leonard Bernstein’s Mass (1971), Yentl the Yeshiva Boy (1974), Styne After Styne (1980), and a revised edition of Blues in the Night that toured the East Coast in the mid-1980s. In 1985–1986 she played in 277 performances of The Golden Land, a Jewish cultural revue, at the Second Avenue Theatre. In 1990, she appeared in Hannah…1939 at the Vineyard Theatre.

Small made her Broadway debut with the 1964 musical Something More! Other Broadway credits include The Impossible Years (1965-1967), Henry, Sweet Henry (67), Frank Merriwell (1971) and Something’s afoot (1976).

Small started singing at an after-school program and continued acting in Hebrew school and the Jewish Theater for Children. She was also an understudy for Don Scardino. She was 10 years old when she played Beverly Sills’ daughter in The Ballad of Baby Doe (1963), at the New York City Opera.

Her early Off-Broadway performances include Ballad for a Firing Squad (1968) and Show Me Where the Good Times Are (1970). She turned down a part in Godspell to play the title character in F. Jasmine Addams, the first musical staged at Circle in the Square Theatre, in 1971.
