Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaViewers who know little about the life history of Golda Meir may be surprised to hear the British actress Helen Mirren performing the role of an Israeli prime minster with an American accent. In fact, Meir, who was born in present-day Ukraine, grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, after her family immigrated to America when she was about eight years old. The elementary school she attended, Fourth Street School, is now called the Golda Meir School for Gifted and Talented Students. She stayed in the United States until her early twenties, when she made aliyah (immigrated) to the land then known as British Mandate of Palestine.
- GoofsKing Hussein of Jordan, after meeting with Sadat and Assad to discuss the war and confirming that Jordan would not take any part of it, on his way back to Jordan landed in Israel and met with Golda Meir and other members of the government on September 25th, 1973, giving them heads up on the impending war. This was declassified a couple of years ago.
- Quotes
Henry Kissinger: Madam Prime Minister, in terms of our work together, I think it's important for you to remember that I am first an American, second I'm Secretary of State, and third, I am a Jew.
Golda Meir: You forget that in Israel we read from right to left.
Henry Kissinger: Of course.

Her legacy is nothing compared to who she was, to what she did, to how she even became the first female president ever. The struggles she went throughout her political career are not only the war. The movie should have been named 'Kipur War' and not 'Golda' since it didn't even SHOW Golda as a whole. Iv'e expected to know her more and have more personal outlook on her life. Either way- I appreciate Hellen and her marvelous acting skills.
