Before embarking on her acting career in adulthood, Levine spent years as a school librarian in New Jersey. Her passion for acting, which she held since childhood, was rekindled after taking early retirement due to issues with her principal devaluing libraries. Despite pursuing a psychology major at Washington State University (WSU) and initially putting acting on hold after graduating in 1951 and raising children, her innate desire to perform persisted.Levine's acting journey began with community theater and acting courses before she moved to Los Angeles to capitalize on greater opportunities. She has amassed an impressive filmography, appearing in over 100 roles in film and television, defying the common perception that it's "too late" to chase one's dreams. Her television credits include appearances on popular shows like Law & Order, Everybody Loves Raymond, Gilmore Girls, Shameless, The Middle, The Mindy Project, New Girl, 2 Broke Girls, Dave, Mrs. Davis, and Jury Duty. In film, she has been seen in diverse projects such as Slime City, Cadillac Man, You Don't Mess with the Zohan, Love Comes Lately, La La Land, Sandy Wexler, You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, and the upcoming Sacramento (2025) and Thelma (2024). Known for her sweet and expressive face, Levine has collaborated with notable figures like Adam Sandler and Robin Williams throughout her prolific career.
