This day also marks the anniversary of the passing of actress Hiam, who delivered numerous remarkable performances in Egyptian cinema.
In a prior interview on the program “Sahibet Al-Saada,” hosted by artist and media figure Esaad Younes on DMC channel, Hiam reflected on the movie “Al-Aqwiyaa,” the only film she shared with the late artist Rushdi Abaza before his untimely death, which left some scenes unfilmed.

The death of an artist during the filming of a project is one of the most challenging situations faced by those involved. In such scenarios, the production team often has to either rely on the scenes already filmed by the deceased actor, adjust the script, or eliminate the role entirely. In cases where this is not feasible, reshooting scenes with a different actor may be considered. For instance, in the film “The Strong,” the filmmakers decided to use another actor, Salah Nazmy, to finish the role originally played by Rushdi Abaza. However, Nazmy was only seen from behind and heard off-screen, as the director aimed to minimize his on-screen presence.
The production team included a note in the film’s credits stating: “The passing of the great artist Rushdi Abaza during the film’s production, after most filming had been completed, was an unfortunate event. The impact of this loss was mitigated by the immense efforts of the talented artist Salah Nazmy, who stepped in to perform the few remaining scenes, thus preserving the integrity of the original script.”
