US-based multinational technology company Google celebrated this Wednesday, January 26, the Egyptian actress Soad Hosny’s birthday through a doodle on its main page.
Soad Hosny was born on January 26, 1943, and she used to be known as the “Cinderella of Egyptian cinema.”
On June 21, 2001, Soad Hosny died at the age of 59, after falling from the balcony of her friend Nadia Yousri’s apartment in Stuart Tower building in London, leading to controversy, with authorities opening investigations to figure out the cause, following rumors that her death may have been a suicide or murder, rather than occurred by accident.
This artist was among the most influential actresses in the Middle East and the Arab world, having played several roles in Egyptian cinema, including “Three Naughty Boys”, which was released in 1962, directed by Hossam Eddine Mostafa, and “Too Young to Fall in Love,” released in 1966 by Niazi Mostafa.
Soad Hosny also has released a song called “I’m going down to the Square,” becoming a popular “anthem” during the Arab Spring of 2011.
