Naeema Akef's "Tamar Henna"

Product details

Naeema was merely an actress or dancer in a phase that Egyptian cinema was transitioning to. Although the role of a dancer wasn't new to her, the difference lay in Naeema herself. Anyone examining the history of Egyptian and Arab cinema will find no other artist whose film titles were so closely inspired by her real personality as Naeema Akef. Most of her films authentically reflected her character, and no other actor or actress had such a profound connection to the plots of their films as Naeema Akef did. Throughout her short career, Naeema Akef starred in twenty-five films.
