Nadia Lutfi, an Egyptian beauty
Cairo - Arab Today

This year, Cairo International Film festival honoured one of Egyptian cinema's great beauties, Nadia Lutfi (born 1937), by using her image on its official poster.
Her talent was discovered by renowned director Ramsis Naguib. In 1958 she played her first role, in a film titled Soultan. Her second small role was in the big hit Bab El-Hadid (Train Station, 1958) directed by Youssef Chahine.  
The 1960s marked the bloom of her acting career as she starred in memorable and iconic classics side by side with screen legends of that time such as Abdel-Halim Hafez in Al-Khataya (Sins, 1962), as well as Abi Fouq Al-Shagara (My Dad Atop a Tree, 1969) from which the poster photo was adapted, as Zanouba in Qasr el-Shouk, staring Yehia Shahine (El-Shouk Palace) in 1967.
Lutfi is also known for her lead role in a film Al-Nadara Al Sawda (Dark Glasses,1963) starring Ahmed Mazhar.

Black and white“Nobody is entirely good or bad it’s a mixture of both with a different percentage. When I play a wicked character, I do not judge, I just try to understand so I can reflect this character’s perspective.”
Preparing for the role
“It takes me a long time to prepare and put my audience into consideration. When I stand in front of the camera I turn into the character I am playing."

The camera and I
“Long friendship that made me transform into the lens itself for we broke all the barriers between us to view each other with clarity and serenity. It’s a two-way friendship for both of us view our audience in one another.”
Acting
“Getting out of myself and into the people.”
Premier
“Like a first date, love date, I want to see my success through the eyes of the audience.”

Artist and human being
“No difference, they are both Nadia.”
Reading
“I read history books because they teach us how life repeats itself. It develops and deteriorates and is in a constant state of movement. It looks different but the essence is all the same.”
History is...
“Life.”
I love to...
“Love.”
I hate...
“Cheap art.”
Nadia Lutfi
I forgive...
“Unintentional wrong doing.”
I never forgive...
“Bad intentions.”
Earth
“A mere stop in a long journey called life.”
Nadia Lutfi
I relax
“By the sea for it’s the warmest hug and refuge from all troubles.”
I believe
“The proverb says there are exceptions to every rule, so I wish such exceptions would dominate our society and hence it would change.”
I wish
 “Our society would develop and by default develop our cinema with it because at the end of the day the cinema is the reflection of our society.”

Women
“A big question.”
Men
“actions.”
A man from history I wish to meet
 “Julius Caesar because he is quite unique.”

Personality

Today

Tomorrow

The impossible
“You cannot change time.”

Success in acting

Last word
Dawn because it’s a moment of birth.
