Zahret El-Ola Mohamed Bakeer[1] (Arabic: زهرة العلا محمد بكير; 10 June 1934 – 18 December 2013) was an Egyptian actress, famous for her roles in light comedies and drama in the 1950s and 1960s, the golden age of Egyptian cinema.
On Mother's Day 21 March 2010, El-Ola was unable to attend the ceremony honoring her as an artist and mother in an event held by the Catholic Center under the title Day of Giving, due to her illness, which forced her to stay at home, and no one was able to represent her to receive the award.
She was honored at home by giving her a shield in appreciation of her dedication over the years of her work.
The shield was handed over to her by Father Boutros Daniel, in a kind human gesture.
Zahret El-Ola suffered in her last days of paralysis until she died on the evening of Wednesday, 18 December 2013.
