Today’s Google Doodle celebrates legendary belly dancer Samia Gamal on what would have been her 93rd birthday. Gamal began her career in cinema in 1943, and quickly rose to stardom thanks to dancing skills that rival those of Taheya Karioka. “We celebrate Samia Gamal, an Egyptian icon whose talents are admired as much today by aspiring dancers and film fans as they were in the height of her fame,” the Doodle’s description reads.
