Nagwa starring in one of her many movies.

Nagwa Fouad

Nagwa Fouad was born in Alexandria. Nagwa Fouad began dancing at Sahara City, a famous night-club at the foot of the Pyramids. Nagwa Fouad appeared in the popular 1960s stage show Adwaa Al-Madina (City Lights), which had featured such superstars as Shadia, Abdel-Halim Hafez, Fayza Ahmed, and Sabah.

In 1976, Nagwa Fouad reached the apex of her career when Mohamed Abdel-Wahab composed a special piece for her, called Qamar Arba'tashar (Full Moon). Her performance to this melody allowed her to change the way belly-dancing was presented on stage, transforming it from a somewhat denigrated form of entertainment into a lavish spectacle, all graceful swirls and floating chiffon. Nagwa took the oriental dancing of Tahiya Karioka and Samia Gamal, and created a stage show like a dramatic piece".

Her first role in cinema was a part in Shari' Al-Hob (Love Street), starring Abdel-Halim Hafez. A major role followed in Malak wa Shaytan (Angel and Devil). Nagwa was trained vocally for this film and she learned how to act as well. Since then, Nagwa Fouad has acted in over 100 films and danced in over 250
