Through the 90s, Laszlo was the highest grossing female entertainer in Israel. However, due to financial and personal calamity, her career came to a halt in the beginning of the new millennium.
After several silent years, Laszlo restarted building her career from the ground up. She was reintroduced to the public and younger crowd through her role as Naomi Shahar in the highly successful musical telenovela HaShir Shelanu.
In 2005 she won the Best Actress Award at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival for her role in Free Zone.[3] Laszlo stars in the film alongside Natalie Portman. The Palme d'Or marked the pick of Laszlo's comeback.
