Born in Paris, France in 1984, Yael Grobglas immigrated to Israel with her family at a young age and quickly began to emerge as a performer. As a youth she studied dance, and spent some time as a model before recognizing her calling as an actor. Her first major onscreen exposure was on the Israeli sci-fi drama "Ha'Yi" ("The Island") (Childrens Channel (Israel), 2007-2010), playing one of the survivors after a group of asteroids crashes on Earth. Grobglas made her feature film debut in "Rabies" ("Kalevet") (2010) as one of the potential victims in this film, billed as "the first Israeli slasher film."
Next she came on to "Hatsuya" ("Split") (HOT VOD (Israel), 2009-2012), a series about young vampires in a high school of vampire hunters. Her first exposure to American audiences came in the form of a recurring role on the first season of historical drama "Reign" (The CW, 2013-), as Olivia d'Amencourt. Grobglas's next major role was on "Jane the Virgin" (The CW, 2014-). In a change-up for her, she played the bad guy: Petra, the wife of the man whose sperm was mistakenly used to impregnate Jane. The show was nominated for Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical at the 2015 Golden Globe Awards.
