She was a series regular on the PBS television show, "Kid Fitness", playing Terry the Turtle.

Amongst her various special skills, Liliane has been a dialect coach for National Theatre for the Performing Arts, National Theatre of Arts and Education, CT Free Shakespeare, and for David O Russel's, American Hustle. Additionally, she is a scene, monologue, and career coach for actors of all ages and experience levels. She also makes fabulous balloon hats and can communicate in any language.
Outside of her work in show business, Lili has been a lifelong activist and advocate for social justice and empowerment, animal and environmental protection/sustainability, and human/civil rights. She has knocked on doors from DC to Maine (and everywhere in between) and marched in countless demonstrations. She has made phone calls, written letters, and raised money. She has also been a dedicated volunteer at Camp Sunshine Retreat for Chronically Ill Children and their Families in Casco, ME since 2003.
Liliane was born in New Hyde Park, NY. She grew up in Great Neck, New York and earned her BFA in Acting from Boston University College of Fine Arts in 2002, cum laude. She adores her kooky, magical family and her amazing friends/extended family. She also loves Shakespeare, skiing, hiking, traveling, adventures, the smell of fresh bay leaves on the way to the Muir Woods, good food, fun music, swing dancing, the PeopleMover, miniature donkeys, and capybaras.
Liliane resides in MA with her tall and brilliant husband, her 3 beautiful and brilliant sons, and her (literally) traffic-stopping dog. She is a proud member of AEA and SAG-AFTRA.
