Syrian/Palestinian/Egyptian actress

Whether they are behind the camera or in front of it, this is the place to discuss all filmmakers regardless of their role in the filmmaking process.

Aghdashloo isn't of Arabic heritage at all.

There's a very good Muslim Lebanese actress (very popular in the Middle East) whose name is Carmen Lebbos. She's done lots of TV and a few good movies - her most beautiful performance probably in a film called West Beyrouth.

Youssra (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0950345/) is 64, and stars in two out of the three Egyptian films I've seen (the Storm and the Yacoubian Building). I don't know how many languages she speaks but I understand she's a big name in the Arabic world.

I don't really know much about any of these:

Hala Sedki
Laila Eloui
Nabila Ebeid
Hanna Eady

The top three are Egyptian, while the last is Palestinian.

For an upcoming theatre production of the Athens Festival i am looking for a well known actress from Syria/Palestine/Egypt or of an Arabic heritage. She must around 45-65 years old. My two initial thought were Shoreh Aghdashloo and Hiam Abbaas.

Any ideas?
