Egyptian actress Amal Farid passed away in Cairo yesterday at age 80 after a years-long struggle with illness, Gulf News reports. Farid’s acting career began in the 1950s, with her 1954 role in “A Date with Happiness” alongside cinematic legend Faten Hamama being among her first major works. Her big break came in 1955, “when she co-starred with iconic singer-actor Abdel Halim Hafez in ‘Nights of Love.’”
