Madiha Salem

Madiha Salem (Arabic: مديحة سالم; 2 October 1944 – 19 November 2015) was an Egyptian actress who appeared in 29 films, and 13 radio and TV serials.

Her father died shortly after she finished high school, forcing her to abandon further studies and to look for work.

She is said to have drawn attention for her "light-hearted and unassuming" performances of her roles on the Egyptian screen.

She died on November 19 in El Safa Hospital due to respiratory problems.

Her funeral took place the next day at the Hamidiyya-Shadhiliyya Mosque in the Mohandessin neighborhood in Giza and she was buried in a Cairo cemetery.
