Shadia

Fatima Ahmad Kamal (Arabic: فاطمة أحمد كمال), better known by her stage name Shadia (Arabic: شادية), is an Egyptian actress and singer. Now retired, she is famous for her roles in light comedies and drama in the 1950s and 1960s. Her first appearance was in the film el-Aql Fi Agaza (The Mind on Vacation), and she retired after her last film La Tas'alni Man Ana (Don't Ask Me Who I Am).

Personal life

As Farid al-Atrash became older, he reconsidered his opinion of marriage and proposed to Shadia, but at the last minute he backed out. By now his health was poor, and Farid feared that he would leave her a young widow. He often played out that scenario and sang about it in his romance movies.
