Move over Winona!
Ayelet Ben-Shahar, who played a high end jewelry dealer on Showtime’s “House of Lies,” was busted for allegedly stealing $400 worth of groceries from a Gelson’s Market in Studio City, California.
Yes, groceries. According to TMZ, the 27-year-old was placed under citizens arrest.
The Israeli-born actress grew up in Rehovot, Israel and began acting at age 12 when she joined the Performing Stage of Arts. She has previously starred in American shows “90210”, ‘“Weeds” and “Chuck.”
