An Israeli actress has set a new world record for years spent working in theatre.

Hanna Maron, who was born in 1923, began acting as a four-year-old in her native Germany and continued her career when she moved with her family to British Mandate Palestine to escape the rise of Nazism.

The 87-year-old’s credits include the Fritz Lang film M and the Israeli film He Walked in the Fields.

Her record for having the "longest career as a theatrical actress" was confirmed this week by Guinness World Records.
