Hollywood career After meeting with an agent in London, Davidtz moved to Los Angeles in 1992 and immediately landed a role in her first American film, Sam Raimi's Army of Darkness. Soon after she appeared in two NBC projects, the made-for-television film Till Death Do Us Part and the miniseries Deadly Matrimony. She was also seen in Laura Ziskin's short film "Oh, What A Day", opposite Viggo Mortensen. Director Steven Spielberg spotted the 5' 8" actress in Deadly Matrimony and cast her in Schindler's List as Helen Hirsch, the brutalized Jewish maid, a poignant portrayal which won her many accolades. Apparently, Davidtz initially thought it was fellow South African actor Arnold Vosloo playing a phone prank on her when Spielberg called her for an audition.
