Religious, but they lived together with each adherent to his religion. After the age of twelve, her father imposed on her not to go out and only go to school.

In one of the press statements, Maryam said: “It was forbidden for me to answer the phone. One time I answered because there was no one at home. Baba who called, came up with the whole phone.”

Hasna Al-Shasha added that her mother was strict, as she likened her to the “Minister of the Interior”, saying: “I did not take money like the rest of my schoolmates,

And when I asked him, she told me to do something to get her money, so I kept ironing the house’s clothes and taking money.” She also learned self-reliance from a young age, as she often did the housework on her own despite the presence of someone to help her.

She studied, in the German school, until she obtained a certificate equivalent to the baccalaureate, and she spoke 5 languages: Arabic, English, German, French, and Hungarian, and she entered the field of art by chance,

She is seventeen years old, following she went to take a photograph on her birthday, and the photographer offered her to participate in a competition organized by the French magazine “Image”,

And she won the award for the most beautiful face, which is why photographer Abdo Nasr and director Ahmed Badrakhan contracted her to participate in her first film, “Night of Gram,” for which she was paid a thousand pounds.

Her father rejected the idea of ​​spending her from her own money, throughout her stay in the family home, following working in the technical field and receiving high wages, saying: “As long as I was in my father’s house, I was sweeping, ironing and taking money to live with at home, and my second money is in the bank for a purpose. I get married.”

She married the director Mahmoud Zulfiqar, who is 18 years old, and he was 23 years older than her, and he was treating her severely and deliberately insulting and beating her, taking her wages and giving her a small part of it.

So, she resorted to hiding half of what she gets in her socks, and one day, at the time of his travels, she found the amount amounted to 17,000 pounds, so she rented an apartment and furnished it and asked him for a divorce, following a marriage that lasted 8 years.

And the fruit of it was her daughter Iman, and she was linked to Shadia until her death, in contrast to her relationship with Faten Hamama, who was tense, as she saw that she was not “the lady of the Arab screen”, saying: “We are not all women.”

3 months following her divorce, she married Dr. Muhammad al-Taweel, and she retired from art for a while in implementation of his desire, and gave birth to her son Ahmed, but they divorced because of her mistreatment once more following 4 years of marriage,

But she divorced once more because her children did not accept the idea of ​​marriage. Her last marriage was to businessman Sherif Al-Fadali, who is 10 years younger than her.

But, as usual, the end was a divorce, and despite 4 marriages, Maryam Fakhreddine did not wear a white wedding dress not once.

Maryam Fakhr El-Din participated in more than 200 films, which is a record, and she had bold statements that angered many of her, as she attacked Faten Hamama, Adel Imam, Youssef Chahine and others,

Maryam remained non-religious because of her dispersion between the religion of her father and mother, but her proximity to Shadia made her search for a method of prayer and ablution, and she began to learn Surat Al-Fatihah and Short Pictures at an old age.

The artist, Maryam Fakhr El-Din, said that due to the duality of religion, she lived all her life, not knowing the method of prayer, and she did not arrive one day until the day came and she had a strong desire to establish the obligation of prayer,

Which made her use the artist Shadia, until she taught her, so she sent her the book “The Little Muslim” and she did not understand anything from it, so she was surprised by the late Sheikh Muhammad Metwally Al-Shaarawy calling her to help her when she told him that she might not memorize the “Tashahhud.”

It was permissible for her to read Al-Fatihah and then give the salutation, and it was also permissible for her to take a bath before every obligatory prayer because she did not realize the idea of ​​ablution, until she was able to learn ablution and memorize the tashahhud following

That one of her friends told her the story of the Night Journey, and Maryam Fakhreddine died on November 3, 2014, at the age of 81.
