Nora Ney (born Sonia Najman or Zofia Neuman; 25 May 1906 – 21 February 2003) was a Polish film actress of Jewish descent.
Nora Ney debuted in 1926 with an episodic role as a circus performer in the silent film Red Jester (a crime comedy directed by Henryk Szaro).
When the war broke out in 1939, Nora Ney, together with her daughter and husband, escaped to the East, to the Soviet Union; she was exiled deep into the empire which paradoxically saved her life.
After the war, after a short stay in Poland, she decided to go to the United States - together with her daughter Joanna and sister Lidia Leichter, she came to New York in 1946, where she took small, silent film roles due to language reasons.
Her first life partner was Seweryn Steinwurzel, an outstanding cinematographer who collaborated with her on many productions, and co-creator of her celebrity image in Polish cinema.
