The Unknown Woman: El Murra El Maghoula 1960 and Its Impact on Arabic Films[^1^]

Shadia was an extremely versatile actress, willingly taking on roles in various genres. Her earlier films were mainly musical comedies, alongside actors like Egyptian comedy great Ismail Yassine. As the fifties ended, Shadia began taking on more serious roles in dramas, thrillers and plays. In 'El murra el maghoula' (1960s), an adaptation of Madame X, she gives one of her finest performances and convincingly portrays her co-star's mother (she was a few years younger than he). She is also known for her portrayal of Fu'ada in 'Shey min el khouf' (1969), an Egyptian classic with heavy political undertones. One of her last performances was her only play 'Raya W Sakina' about the notorious serial killers of the same name.
